Wow!! Congrats to you on launch!

Seeing insane investments (in time/effort/knowledge/frustration) like this make me enjoy HN!!

(And there is always the hope that someone at AMD will see this and actually pay you to develop the thing.. Who knows)

I read this headline and was like, "A look, an announcement by GPT!! That means that Google or Anthropic must have had a release today!"

And, yup, there is Gemini in item 3!

That's a blunt way of saying it, but I agree with the sentiment.

Which is a shame, because this is a project that could have had potential, but a poor name goes a long way towards discouraging it being taken seriously.

Have we learned nothing from GIMP? No, no we have not.

Git?

I get it. This is a scam. The discussion is not about what you think it is. (EDIT: Or not, I don't care.)

BUT the fact that we are even arguing about whether or not we should be putting data centers into space is so incredibly absurd to someone who watched the Challenger explode and assumed that space wouldn't be ventured into again in my lifetime.

People don't realize how much the priors have changed. Take a minute to appreciate that. We are living in a world where people are debating if it makes sense to spend a bazillion dollars to put a hard disk into orbit.

I wonder if the Klingons are good at cyber warfare.

The problem is that software people are clueless.

Do we know if these were formed intentionally or just happened to be in such a form and were used by those that found them?

Do we know if these were used more than once, or if they were in a convenient shape that was grabbed by a local for one time use?

How do we know that these were actually used as tools and not just pieces of wood that coincidentally in the site?

Do we have any reason to think these were used by (precursor to) humans more than ravens, beavers or any other number of animals that use tools?

Because of the paywall I could not read the whole article, but the pictures and intro leave a lot unanswered.

I have never driven a Tesla, so this is all anecdotal.

Some of my (extended) neighbors are members of a family that live near each other. One sister bought a Tesla. The brother who lived down the block laughed at her because politics. Despite that, within a year he had bought one as well. Their parents test drove it a few times and were critical about how it drove weird. But now, after about 9 months, their father mentioned in passing that he ordered one. Another brother mentioned that he would sell his Maxus for a Tesla if he could afford to.

Until recently, one had a Chevy, one a Hyundai, one a Maxus and one an ancient Subaru.

I have never seen such buy-in with any other brand, and that is despite the toxicity of the Tesla CEO. I wouldn't be so quick to write them off.

While this is nice, it is not inherently related to an A4 paper.

You could have memorized the length of a cheapo Bic pen if that is common in your area; Or a Parker or a Monte-Blanc if you carry one of those.

All recent iPhones (regular models since `03) have a width of 71.5mm. Remember that, and as long as someone near you has an iPhone, you are good to go using it as a ruler. (And people will definitely be, um, impressed).

We have in my kitchen several brands of small forks, all are 19.2mm (just checked. The large forks have a range of sizes). Next time I need to measure something I could just request a fork...

I love his unabashed attitude.

- Larry hit spot #1! Yay!

- Larry lost $130 BILLION in two months. 1/3 of his wealth. "I don't care!"

A better way to think of it is: If you got a dollar a second for the next 63 years, you still would not have gotten $2B.

In Win 11 Home, and want to add a local account and not change it to a Windows account, and not share my stuff with MS. No Cloud or "Backups", thank you.

The option to enable a local account was through the command line only. The dark patterns and persausion to convince me not to was off putting.

But every time I boot in to have to go through the nag screen is off the wall.

It is truly crazy how much I understand the dedication people have to avoid using a unfamiliar system.
