My comment about the irony of a free speech post being censured was mostly sarcasm. That said, Hn has a pretty broad set of topics that are allowed through. Right now there's a post on the top pa…

I see/hear various forms of this comment. Is believing that free speech is being threatened a Russian propaganda thing? I'm honestly curious?

Assuming you are at a big company, it's optimized for risk mitigation.

i think you answered the "why", not the "what". :)

ya agree there. but most of those things aren't tradeoffs, aside from a bit of time and money (both of which go back to my original point about why I think the system is not working)

Understanding the results does take education, I agree with that, but having more data over time seems much better than flying blind and then being surprised when something actually does happen.

In the US, my experience has largely been that it's not healthcare, it's sickcare. Wait until sick, get treated. Annual checkups are a weight check, blood pressure, a few questions, maybe a …

Looks like you can already try out Llama-3.1-405b on Groq, although it's timing out. So. Hugged I guess.

Let's rewrite the OS while we're at it since that's in the spirit of programming! :) Just use the nice tools available unless your goal is to rebuild the stack.

Wow all these years (and countless references as the "original puzzler") and I never knew Myst was built in HyperCard! That's amazing. Even today I try and find games for my kids that a…

When I was in 5th grade, HyperCard was akin to early software development for me. I would spend hours after school creating games and choose your own adventures. You could put in goto statements, loop…

ah yes reader mode, undoing "loved" features since 2010!

I came to the comments expecting more pushback but I'm surprised. What happened to the simplicity of reading articles without status indicators, link popups, notes, conversations, ...? OK, table …

Ya it's really the Google-as-only-option problem. I immediately close the window when I see that and move on. Are there any "privacy-first" SSO options? Maybe Proton or Mullvad or some …

is it just me or is it hard to trust Business Insider at this point...? It seems to show its true colors over and over again as a crappy outlet just trying to survive on clicks in a post-Internet worl…
