Looks like AI and I look away from any image generated by a LLM. It's my easy internal filter to weed out everything that isn't art.

Instantly, I don't want to look at the App Store anymore.

There are other applications with that implemented, with GenAI too.

Crypto: GPUs

AI: RAM

Thanks for taking away years of affordable computing from people. Time is more valuable; there's no getting it back.

Better Valve/Steam than Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Epic or the rest.

Gambling / trading aside, they're doing a pretty fine so far.

Someone needs to make a KDE, XFCE theme of this.

Someone who's not from India might say, biometrics and centralized IDs are great tools to offer benefits to citizens. This is true, but when it is not, when a government is not trust-worthy, because of its own history of doing things this way.

They said that all your other IDs will be made invalid if you don't "opt-in" to Aadhaar. They essentially blocked you from using all pre-existing, valid IDs. They now in this ingratiating way ask us, don't you see the convenience?

I guess I'm only using Reddit on a desktop/laptop. No way I'm using Reddit's official app since the rest died out.

Best known for their sound solutions, Creative even made graphics cards in the early 2000s. The Creative GeForce 2 Ultra, with its bright green RAM heatsinks! What a tasteful looking (and performing) card that was.

Read crypto and I'm out.

Sorry, but I think that movement has stolen enough GPUs (and enjoyable / productive time) from creative artists and gamers over the years.

Yes, I like that I've paid for an operating system that tells me all the affairs someone is having right in my system tray.

New comment by cyberjunkie in "Remembering Windows 2000"

cyberjunkie — Mon, 15 Jun 2020 21:02:28 +0000

Windows 2000 felt like a tank. You'd boot it thinking it was meant to run servers and web sites, but you could run it on your PC, and play games on it. It was robust. You could finally boast of high uptimes like the Linux folk!

Oh, I use the A158, which looks like a metal version of the F-91W. Really basic, but functional tech.

Also, how people choose to behave knowing their identities are concealed.

I strongly believe the nature of a society is best visualized through its traffic sense. Whether it's showing empathy, collaborating, cooperating, patience, discipline, following rules, the anything-will-do attitude, etc.

I'm expecting the sabotaging nature will have a ton of people consciously going out of the way to screw up everyone else.

New comment by cyberjunkie in "Ask HN: How do you manage your bookmarks?"

cyberjunkie — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 12:19:27 +0000

I was thinking about this. Someone ought to make a tool that exports browser bookmarks into a static, but presentable startpage.
