onemoresoop··on Restrooms along the Norwegian Scenic Routes
A large part of the voters are gullible idiots who don’t understand when they vote against their own interests. Add a personality cult in the mix and this explains the current situation we’re in.
onemoresoop··on HackerTube: YouTube built from videos recommended by HN
Youtube feeds work the other way around it appears. Content seeks you. Things promoters think you may click on haunt you. There are videos I see are there in the feed and I don't click on because I am not interested and they linger there, trying to dupe me to click on. Absolutely disgusting.
onemoresoop··on Shiny Object Syndrome
Like Magpie developers? It may be somewhat humorous but that’s what these analogies look like from the outside. People chasing new things or trends for its own sake is a thing.
onemoresoop··on Through Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Patrick Stewart taught us the measure of a man
Actors and characters do blend and influence one another. Maybe you have a problem with how the credit is being shared but try to think if the series (or a movie) would be the same if the actors were replaced. Yes, you’re right that credit goes to the whole team but the main protagonists do stand out.
onemoresoop··on Through Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Patrick Stewart taught us the measure of a man
That makes him more real IMO. All humans have flaws of character. That doesn’t mean flawed equls good, we like people who have less of them.
onemoresoop··on Patrick Stewart has died
:( Rip Patrick Steward. I grew up watching TNG and Captain Picard has imprinted in my memory.
onemoresoop··on Getting debug access on a Brother printer over Telnet
How about not printing with the cartrige 3 quarters full but digitally empty?
onemoresoop··on Hackers expose the identities of more than 40k DHS employees
This gave me schadenfreude... Is it bad to feel schadenfreude?
onemoresoop··on Hackers expose the identities of more than 40k DHS employees
Trump will anyway throw them under the bus when he's done with them so it's a bit naive to expect their identities would be kept secret forever. And somehow they hoped those masks would do anything else beside terrorize Americans. As far as archival, yes that's a good idea. I'm sure the current admin will attempt to shred everything..
onemoresoop··on Get Ready for Touch on Mac
Hope they add the option to turn it off.
onemoresoop··on Amazon Is Gutting Its AI Division After Sustained Failure
I know it sounds crazy but for the amout of investments AI has underdelivered.
onemoresoop··on Peter Thiel, the tech oligarch who believes in the Antichrist
He shall know himself
onemoresoop··on Peter Thiel, the tech oligarch who believes in the Antichrist
Likewise here. If I accidentally become a billionare I’d donate most of it to good causes after making sure family and close friends will be able to reach their own goals without becoming filthy rich. Creating a dinasty of wealth is cursing your own family.
onemoresoop··on Birdwatching rewires the brain and slows cognitive decline
Many hobbies do that for you. It’s important to engage with something that you like and use your brain. Also, part of the equation is to keep on moving. If you take daily walks and engage in a desk bound hobby it’ll likely provide similar benefits discussed here.
onemoresoop··on Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner's phone
One dupe, one flagged. Someone is exercising some damage control.
onemoresoop··on The foolishness of "natural language programming" (1978)
Yeah, just because higher level programming languages (PLs) emerged doesn't mean lower-level PLs or assembly disappeared. Programming with LLMs in natural language is somewhat like programming in a higher level PL that gets translated into lower level PL, all the way down to assembly.

When it comes to precision it's easier to express instructions in formal languages and I don't see that changing anytime soon unless natural language itself changes drastically, which I highly doubt. Formal syntax, well-defined semantics, reproducibility and composability are traits that make traditional programming languages more reliable and precise than natural language for programming.

onemoresoop··on Hacker leaks 281 GB of data from Germany's far-right AfD party
I think the voters, at least some part the voters, would be more reluctant to engage online due to this type of leak. Other than that, they'd continue with their convictions as before.
onemoresoop··on Jared Kushner Hacked Phone Reveals Secret Negotiations, Millions in Transactions
What if they get prosecuted after Tramp is out of office?

onemoresoop··on Facebook Pages require paid subscription to post more than two links per month
If a business relies solely on FB it doesn’t exist for me. If they maintain multiple places online it’ll be interesting how this payment will play out…
onemoresoop··on New Withings Users Must Pay $99/Year for Apple Health Syncing
Yeah, some additional friction. For the curious but not for the masses..
onemoresoop··on Suicide rates highest ever among middle-aged men
You can actually make donations for various causes including sending batches of drones for the Ukrainian on the frontline. Look up Jake Broe for example, he does organize such campaigns.
onemoresoop··on Suicide rates highest ever among middle-aged men
Europe is divided by propaganda and the situation is quite volatile at the moment. Some European countries do support Ukraine more than others..
onemoresoop··on OpenAI engineer arrested in bugging of executive conference room
I don’t think this guy was operating under a spy network, he was probably just trying to make bank with insider info. He is screwed royally for his dumb move and nobody will come to his rescue. He got greedy.
onemoresoop··on Talorys – A self-hosted personal AI agent on Cloudflare's free tier
I think op is thinking about local.
onemoresoop··on Account bans on Reddit
Old school forums back? Hope to see more of these.
onemoresoop··on City building games have a Soul Problem pt.2
Absolutely the second version. The first version looks unrealistic and gets boring fast. Assuming the amount of degradation can be adjusted it's a no brainer to make use of it. In the real world the elements will degrade everything over time..
onemoresoop··on Colorectal Cancer Is Rising Among the Young, Even Kids and Teens
It's probably not too healthy to sit for too long. If unavoidable, eg. in schools, best thing is to periodically stand up for a while before contining with more sitting...
onemoresoop··on Show HN: Giving Opus 5.5 a simulated paint canvas
How are images translating to paintings?
onemoresoop··on Power approval set to delay Oracle's Wisconsin AI datacenter
Would that do anything beside losing more political capital from voters?
