Why do you doubt that? And who do you suppose wants to work for the CIA in this aspect, when the job description is pushing pencils as an intern at a tech company trying to get sad old men to have sex with them?

There was never a time when it wasn't deeply frowned upon either, because having an affair is not the norm.

She was already rich

Here's some wiser wisdom: keep it in your damn pants.

It's been their policy for a while now. Source is dang himself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49078714

> Write any text that you post to HN by hand. Don't use an LLM to generate any of it (not even a tiny bit, including to edit or spruce it up). Reason: the community is super fussy about this right now, and LLM language has a certain quality that is generating quite some backlash when it appears on HN itself. This is a big dividing line at present!

HN auto-flags comments that look like they're generated by an LLM, and the author's flagged comments definitely have those telltale signs.

> People who are towing a lot may like the idea of electric. However they need range, and EVs when towing don't deliver. It is too bad, I'd like a electric truck, but when I tow I'm trying to get someplace and EVs don't deliver.

Depends on why you're towing something. My brother-in-law is a contractor, for example, and the first thing you do when you start your own contracting business is buy a big ass pickup and a trailer to haul all of your tools and materials to your job sites.

Agreed on the chargers though, sometimes it's difficult to use a charger even with a normal-sized car just because every manufacturer wants to put the ports in a different, weird and quirky place on EVs.

The standard F-150 uses gasoline, not diesel. Not that gas isn't expensive right now either.

> They could make it faster by removing the casino lights and prompts and upsells, and research other ways to monetize. Electron is not the issue with Discord, it's their constant annoying nagging.

Amen. I hate Discord, and I loathe that I have to use it just because "gamers" use it and it became the default for video game communities.

Do you mean to ask why non-American companies would trust anything coming out of the USA? Because American companies tend to have a lot of trust for other American companies.

You're putting forth a ridiculous argument. An airplane engineer doesn't need to know how to create the universe from scratch just to work their way up to maintaining airplanes, but they sure as hell understand how the major systems work, how those systems interact, and how to diagnose problems. They don't just tinker around blindly.

You're painting with a very wide brush.

In this case, where you're making bold claims about the preferences of "le average user," statistical numbers would be preferable over anecdotes.

For individual lines of code or files I would agree, but I think there are way too many software companies out there for that to be a general rule. For example, JetBrains wouldn't be pleased if the entirety of Rider were leaked, and Jane Street would have a very bad day if their IP were leaked.

Give them a choice (as in stop stuffing it into every app and service they use) and you might be surprised when they do.

I don't use it either, and find most website dark modes really difficult to read. The text blurs together or worse, it gets "burned in" to my vision briefly (not sure what that phenomenon is called). I especially dislike the ones that are pitch black instead of the cool grey/dark grey. I was hoping this "Adaptive Dark Mode" announcement was going to adaptively do away with the pitch black dark modes that make it impossible for me to read a website by adapting them to any other color scheme. =P

Your favorite LLM can find any number of executive orders Trump has signed, bills he's tried to persuade Congress to write and pass, and lawsuits his justice department has filed in pursuit of tipping the scales permanently in favor of himself first and his party second. You don't need anyone to link you to these records for your own edification – or, far more likely, for you to pick at with whataboutism – when you have the power to find it all at your own fingertips.

How much are your company's secrets and proprietary information worth, and how much would it cost to have them leak? You'd need to put a number on that before you could complete the calculus.

> and figuring out how to train a 2T parameter model

Why train your own model? You could use one of the many models already available on HF.

Wife and I voted in Iowa last week. Normally I volunteer at the polls for my small county each election too, but they didn't need volunteers this year!

> Skimming through the quick examples I came up with, one thing stands out: if it ends with an 'a', feminine. I believe this stems from Latin?

My own name, Joshua, goes against this rule. I don't think it's Latin though.

Is this bait?

Look at the opponents of Democrats (the party), and where they stand on trans rights. Most Democrats support trans rights, almost no Republicans do. We can all close our eyes and wish we had a system that didn't reduce down to two parties, but at the end of the day we're all going to get either a Democrat or a Republican representing us unless you live in a hyper specific part of the country.

Earlier today I had to grit my teeth and vote for Josh Turek in Iowa, even though I think he's a shithead who threw trans people under the bus just to eke out a few more votes from conservative fence sitters. I could've made a protest vote, but the realpolitik of the situation is I'm either getting Turek or his Republican opponent, and I think Turek will do a much better job representing me despite his dumbass about-face on trans issues, whereas the Republican will be actively harmful.

I do, a Shopify app that helps merchants track orders across long manufacturing/fulfillment processes. I built it ages ago when I was working as manual labor at a printing company, watching everyone run around all day trying to figure out where each order was. I'd daydream about how I could improve things and make them more efficient, write my ideas down in a notebook, then go home and build it in the evening.

I think the app is something like 12 years old now, but I still work on it to this day. I'm adding a new feature to it right now, and would like to kick the Shopify dependency someday soon.

Probably not the same people.

Parents already have to make adjustments to their schedules for when their children are out of school in the summer, right? It's not like society isn't used to parental schedules shifting based on the time of year.

I got an email a couple weeks ago that said my credit card expired and GitHub couldn't renew my subscription. I honestly don't know what that subscription is getting me though, what am I paying for? I used to pay for private repos I think, but that's included for free now.

Every time I hand my wife my laptop to show her something, her first instinct is to touch the screen to make it scroll. I think for a lot of people, having a device that doesn't respond to touch is weird.

(Like most millennials, she grew up with computers and even works on a desktop every day; there's something about the medium that makes her think "this has a touch screen".)

> That’s not a killer use case, that’s just running two apps next to each other. There are tons of phones and tablets that can do that.

But they aren't iPhones.

Like I said, he's straining the system. But if the people punish Trump in November by removing the senators and representatives who've supported him, then I think it means the people explicitly don't support what he's done.
