"Remember the time Apple fixed iOS so the iPhone would run instead of crashing under low voltage conditions" remains, to me, the most inexplicable of HN's mass psychoses.
Remember that they did it secretly and denied it for ages, only to backtrack and use this excuse when it was actually proven they were slowing the devices.
Dont let the marketing spin white-wash your long term memory of an event.
Same here. I can see why LLM-driven voice assistants makes sense to product people in the abstract, but introducing non-deterministic behavior into a device I primarily use to help with timekeeping and control lights is nothing but a regression.
That makes it more sad, to me. Someone with those credentials should be able to communicate with their colleagues effectively. I wonder if she used to be able to.
It appears Hacker News disagrees that social skills are valuable skills. Mea culpa, I should have guessed.
There's something ironic about complaining about other people's social skill while you couldn't be bothered to make a point without sounding dismissive and condescending.
Navigating tough conversations takes time, attention, and mental energy. I’d rather a pharmacist spend that time on catching another dangerous contraindicated combo of drugs for a different patient. Actually, AI should soon be checking for that, too.
Looks like a complicated and expensive way to avoid running copper. "Up to 1Gbps" is not confidence inspiring, if you really can't put holes in your walls I'd try a powerline kit first for 1/5th the price
It depends on the topology of your circuits. If you can get both adapters on the same circuit that is ideal, same phase is often okay at reduced speed. Different phases or having other complicated stuff in the way like subpanels is probably what you were dealing with.
MoCa is fine, but if the coax was retrofit replacing it with proper ethernet cable isn't too hard.
It seems pretty weird to use all English words in the domain for a service that offers no English translations and operates in no English speaking countries.
The map is based on international standards and technically it does not restrict locations to German speaking countries.
The authors of this project also shared that they intend on publishing more around this project. This seems to be mostly an early demo that was intended for the live event.
The Germans and Danes and Swedes and Norwegians I see on the Internet developing and publishing software often have a better grasp of the English language than many born in the USA Americans.
Is Mastodon successful enough to be called "the future" of its niche? MAU is 1/3rd what it was at the peak, and bluesky + mastodon MAU combined is microscopic compared to twitter (I use none of these services, no dog in this fight, just looking at numbers).
Would love to see it become more common for projects with sufficient inertia to host their own forge like GNOME or Inkscape do. Could be a service that foundations like CNCF or LF offer to their projects.
It is a simple mathematical fact that if you get married one year and have twins the next, your household will contain over a million people within 20 years.
