Just a heads up, but Immich mobile app deleted my local copies when I activated the backup, for some unknown reason. I've checked my settings and there is an option to free up space on backup, but I didn't activate it. It's not something catastrophic, but some messaging apps will not see your pictures and will consider them corrupted

I get your point, but wouldn't that be exactly what bad actors want you to do? Normalcy bias is a great help to them

Have you written everything? Or is all generated by AI? Sorry for asking, but it sounds very weirdly structured for something aimed to 8-12 year olds.

I don't believe that the quality is the best metric for these companies. I doubt that Google has top-notch code quality in every product they developed, but it does not matter if they are making billions per month. Furthermore, I honestly believe that the quality stayed the same, at least.

That is an amazing point that invalidates the backlog in my mind. Stated vs revealed preferences in the end.

Why there are so many people that still believe that AI coding is a fad? It's something that started less than two years ago and companies are already paying thousands per seat. I know one that gives you 5k per month. Which other tool went from nothing to this level of acceptance so quickly?

Thanks for taking the time to answer, I really appreciate that. About the pricing, isn't that the same as managing scarce resources? In a supposed AGI utopia, why would society still need it? To be clear, I get your point. I'm not against capitalism, I just don't get why it would be needed when resources are unconstrained

The only reason this user won't defend that point is the HN rules. From what I remember, he strongly believes that the majority wants should be respected, so it's not that far-fetched to imagine that they would defend slavery if 51% of the voters wanted that.

Recently I had the realization that a lot of people see economy as something completely decoupled from society. Capitalism is both completely unrelated with people and the result of people's innate desires. The UBS discussions are a funny one for me. Capitalism is supposedly the best way to manage limited resources, but we would still need it in a supposed utopia where recourses are in abundance. I confess that I don't have the knowledge to understand the reasons for that.

Workers are supposed to always be worried about the overall economy, but companies firing thousands of people can ignore everything that is not related with their revenue/profit. It's hilarious.

I remember when I had these kind of takes. I blindly believed in "equal treatment, including billionaires". Now I get frustrated reading them, but I have empathy from understanding where they come from (for now, at least).

Anecdotally as well, but I believe that US companies are hiring in big waves in India and other developing markets. I know people who went from zero contacts to daily messages from big tech recruiters in these countries. I've seen people saying that is the result of that specific US section that expired last year, but I'm a layman, so I don't have the knowledge to debate the reasons.

tuesdaynight — Mon, 11 May 2026 12:08:58 +0000

I'm a layman in this field, and I always thought that satellites were supposed to take a very small space in orbit... until I saw a GIF made from Artemis 2 ship. Satellites were big enough that could see the queue of them orbiting Earth in the GIF. Maybe they were the bigger ones and I'm confusing them with Starlink?

Why is Google doing this? They would need to moderate the use of the API, right? What they could gain having to moderate use of a browser's API?

Hey, Jake, not related with your post, but I just want to say that HTTP203 were one of the best web dev content that I've ever consumed. Amazing mix between humour and tech discussion. Thank you!

Thanks, I was going to say exactly that. I agree with most of the other comment, but the biological part did not sound correct to me. Biologically, we should impregnate as much people as possible, and monogamous couples would not be the standard.

New comment by tuesdaynight in "The MacBook Neo"

tuesdaynight — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 13:03:55 +0000

IMO, there's nothing comparable to MacBook Air in its price range if you are an average user. Neo is even better in that aspect. The model you cited sounds better if you are planning to use Linux and are computer literate. But if you just want something that is good (not perfect) at everything usual, a MacBook is a no-brainer.

I was hopeful that small models would be enough for the majority of the tasks, but I understand that it's not the case yet. But thanks for answering

Don't do that, just avoid answering the "non-believers" or whatever they are called. Your comments are insightful for me (and for a lot of other people, I'm sure). You don't need to prove that they are useful, just comment about your experience and ignore them. It's like arguing about religion trying to make the other person to flip their beliefs (a waste of time for everyone involved)

Are small local models good enough for driving OpenClaw-likes or an API key from one of the big labs is needed?

If they use any social media like Instagram or TikTok, just ask them to show their DMs as well. I was a douchebag when I was younger, and that was the first step into realizing that I was not aware of the women experience as I thought as I was at the time.
