Where's the article? Has a link been edited out of what otherwise appears to just be an inane rant on Reddit?

> "It's half past two" is interpreted to mean: "it's at least half past two"

I think most people would have no issue calling 14:28 "half past two". There's no "at least" to it, just an approximation.

I just wanted to find a way to toggle my ceiling lights.

> They're already well aware of the concepts

Are you suggesting, despite many experts stating otherwise, that LLMs have awareness?

When deciding they have the largest collection, I guess they missed the shoe collection at Northampton Museum. Though having escaped that town in my youth, I don't know why anyone would want to visit!

The problem being that the time spent fixing the bugs in that 25% outweighs the time saved. Now that tools like Copilot are being widely used, studies are showing that they do not in fact boost productivity. All claims to the contrary seem to be either anecdotal or marketing fluff.

Surely there's something between shaming and acceptance. Neither are helpful, after all. The recent 'body positivity' movement just sends a message that it's _okay_ to be obese.

How about off being the default?

They could, but I'd be surprised if they do.

Firstly, we can see that they're using the email exactly as provided (for sending, at least), else filters on the mail we receive wouldn't work.

Secondly, the + trick works because it's valid in email addresses under RFC 5321 and RFC 5322 - the fact that Gmail (and others?) direct all addresses of the format 'foo+bar@gmail.com' to the mailbox of 'foo@gmail.com' is a quirk, not a given. Anyone wanting to trim '+bar' would have to know it's safe to do so for particular providers, and I doubt anyone wants to maintain that list and do extra backend work just in case they want to share on the sly.

It's a shame that the exodus from London prompted by the Covid lockdowns didn't last. Perhaps we might have seen at least some equalisation across the country. Alas, anything outside of the M25 might as well be another country as far as Westminster is concerned.

Thanks. This makes more sense. I was curious why the _inner_ point mattered, when the fourth point is actually the one on the side.

I'd love to see a three-legged table stand up with the fourth corner under load.

What makes this a four-point egg if only the first three points are required to derive the rest of the shape?

> There is no reason to assume this is a matter of proteins.

Except that there's increasing evidence that specific proteins do in fact play a part in various forms of dementia.

Of all the things you could label as gatekeeping, I don't feel that excluding hate groups is one of them. We should never be tolerant of the intolerant, otherwise intolerance wins.

I can almost see how they'd get away with a review process under the guise of security, then add an app's fingerprint to some blacklist and automatically remove it from all devices.

Charging fees for sideloaded apps though? Even ignoring the part where it goes against the Digital Markets Act, how does it even work in practise? If I (as an end user) sideload some file I downloaded from the web, the developer/publisher of the file wasn't involved, possibly hasn't entered into any agreement with Apple, and won't have an account set up to pay whatever ridiculous fees Apple demand - which, of course, was the point of the DMA in the first place (freedom from a monopolistic app store).

Copyright laws vary between countries. I imagine a UK court might treat things differently, given our Copyright Service's rules:

> Legally only the copyright owner has the right to authorise adaptations and reproductions of their work - this includes the making of a derivative work.

But of course, this all comes down to whether or not a court considers it derivative, which is what I was curious about.

> Still have 250miles range out of 310 originally.

I appreciate that batteries degrade over time, but think this will deter many would-be EV owners. Losing 1/6 of your total range in the first 5 years of owner just doesn't happen with ICE vehicles. How long until you're down to 1/2 the original total range and can no longer handle the journeys you bought the car for? I'll probably be in the market for a new car in the next 2-3 years, and I'd very much prefer to go green next time, but this puts me off somewhat.

I wonder what the used market is going to be like too. Will many people want to buy cars that simply don't go as far as they used to (and will lose more miles as time goes on)? Do they just have to accept that a battery replacement will be necessary?

> as close as possible to Pokémon while still staying legally distinct

I'm definitely not an expert on the matter, so this is just curiosity. How can something be so similar that the average person looks at it and thinks it's a Pokémon clone and not count as a derivative work?

Assuming we start from the position of having a unique, never-before-seen password for each account (which is what we should all be doing, right?), rotating doesn't do anything.

And if we accept that most people don't use unique, never-before-seen passwords and that a password has been included in a plaintext dump, rotating passwords periodically doesn't even protect from password spray attacks, since someone has likely used that password before and you'll still be vulnerable.

> Today, important units of productivity and organisation are: - Urls - Screenshots (and images) - & notes

According to whom? I can see the value in storing and organising notes, but screenshots and bookmarks managed outside of notes just end up being a list that's forgotten about - after all, there's no context, so you don't remember what was special about what you bookmarked or why you did it.

In-line calculations. Improved file/folder searches. Ability to write custom workflows, especially those that might call other scripts/APIs.

I can't remember the name now, but there was a JavaScript-based launcher that did _almost_ everything I wanted but was still very early in development and a little too buggy for me at the time. UX wasn't quite as polished as Alfred either - adding custom logic involved dropping your custom scripts into the right folder and restarting the process, IIRC.

I use Alfred on my Mac and would kill for something with the same feature set and performance. Is Keypirinha the Windows equivalent I should be using? Nothing else I've tried in the past came close.

> and the software would translate ... in real-time

Depending on the pair of languages being translated between, isn't this literally impossible? The ordering of sentence parts is not the same in all languages (coincidentally, Japanese and English are a perfect example here of how different grammar can be), so you often have to wait until you've heard the whole sentence before you can parse it translate into another language.

Given the above issue, how is what you're envisioning any better than just using Google Translate?

The average internet user doesn't know how to run a home server, safely expose services, or configure a domain name. Even Home Assistant has a fairly high barrier to entry in that you need somewhere to run it, and even then a good chunk of their users rely on Nabu Casa to do the networking bits because they can't manage it themselves.

This just ain't gonna work for social networking, unless you want that social network to consist only of the small minority of internet users that know how the internet works - and then we could just hang out here on HN.

Not sure what geographies it covers as I've only used it for UK-based roles, but I love the experience on cord.co.

It's what I believe recruiting should be. Potential applicants upload their bio and skills, say what they're interested in (in terms of salary range, WFH vs WFO, etc). Potential recruiters list jobs, with somewhat decent transparency (at least for the UK, where salary is rarely listed). Then one party or the other initiates a conversation.

The best applications I've been through all started via cord, and the interactions all felt genuine and were all with internal recruiters rather than agencies.

If we're going deaths by distance travelled: in 2016 (the latest year in the study linked below) the US had 7.3 deaths per billion vehicle-kilometres, while Germany had only 4.2.

Interestingly, the same report shows a reduction of 12.1% in total road deaths between 2010 and 2016, while the US had an increase of 13.5% over the same period.

I'm scared to even list the US's increase pedestrian deaths caused by drivers. No regard for human life at all.

> Looks like they tripled-down on features to change it. Always seeking DAU.

The irony is that all the extra nonsense keeps a lot of us away even more. I think even the next time I want to change jobs, there are platforms I'll use before I go back to LinkedIn.

I guess it's like any social media platform. Once you invite too many people, you dilute the original purpose and community, and just end up with memes and cat photos.

If this 'disappearing street' interests you, you may also want to check out the causeway that takes one out to Lindisfarne (aka Holy Island) in Northumberland.

Tides allowing, you can drive out to the island and back. And inevitably, each year, people ignore the prominent warnings and crossing times, and end up stranded halfway over - often with a waterlogged engine and nowhere to go.

This is way above my level but a quick skim seems to suggest that not only are the cells not rejected, but that they can actually enhance the recipient's immune system.
