Enders Game but AI instead of aliens.

The Hacker News front page is just becoming a security incidence status page at this point. Everything seems pretty fucked.

Binance is tweeting they think it's a compromised devops laptop. How fucking bonkers insane is it that they would have such fragile systems that any single employees machine would possibly have access to trigger Billions in transactions. Even access to low millions or hundreds of thousands I would expect to be heavily heavily restricted and involve coordinating several people as security measures.

Same. I vaguely recall maybe a mention of baseball playoffs somewhere or whatever they are called being on but barely anything compared to previous years. Last I heard I thought LA had some complete economic dominance on baseball players?

Basically the exact opposite of the NBA playoffs where similar to baseball i'm normally not into it but got totally absorbed this past year.

maybe we made it too easy to implement ideas.

It's odd it still exists at all still. What would compel someone to even post a question on SO anymore.

Basically the equivalent of shouting out some highly specific technical query down a dark alleyway and hoping against all odds for a better response than models trained on all of stack overflow already.

I've noticed this with a lot of products lately. It seems rare for a new release to strictly supersede or maintain performance on all attributes on a successor.

Yeah they have done this for awhile now. It is weird to have your cheapest base model option outperform your MUCH more expensive configs on single core perf though.

A laptop starting at almost 3 grand with only 24gb ram is a tragedy, the RAMpocalypse is brutal.

Basically $400 premium for a screen upgrade. I'm sure the screen is brilliant but mini LED is very much not bad. It's a real bummer that we seem to be entering an era where each year with tech it leans more towards a new product offering that is more but for more money versus getting more for our dollar consistently.

OLED feels pretty established at this point... could they really not have pulled off just making that the default screen on pro's or is this just a price gouge for a premium feature.

I thought we were supposed to get a design overhaul this gen?

Also framing AI use for the base M models marketing makes no sense to me. You are way better off getting a used M1 max with 64gb and way higher mem bandwidth when those are the real bottlenecks.

No I don't think I do. I associate "hoarders" with reality tv and disastrously messy homes though which I can't relate to.

If anything though I would say I associate open tabs in the same vein as an infinitely growing number of books in the to read list or movies in the to watch list. Both usually leading to a tree branch style recommendation of more and more books or movies I might be interested in after consuming.

Up voting or down voting without even clicking the link just seems insane to me.

I think the stats on interactions across the board are probably ridiculous though.

I wish for a HN, reddit, etc, where you have to vote and comment to even be served more content.

I do come back to a non-trivial amount.

The main issue is overcoming i opened a tab for reason and i want to close a tab for a reason, but tabs usually lead to more tabs so even trying to stay on top of it, it just endlessly grows.

Youtube alone is a major culprit and i'm confused on how everyone doesn't have at least several hundred videos they started watching or opened in a tab out of possible future interest.

I don't think any browsers are really designed for the range of how many tabs people keep open.

I also wonder what the distribution does really look like. Just on my primary profile here I felt like I was making progress trying to get it to under 2000 tabs recently.

It feels like a hopeless battle though. Across multiple machines and browsers and browser profiles i'd reckon i'm stuck at like 12,000 open tabs.

how the hell does paywalled content possibly get upvoted more than downvoted. are there really that many economist.com subscribers here?
