The comments here are my own and do not reflect the opinions of my employer, and vice-versa

  1. Well onedrive is nothing more than sharepoint disguised as a cloud drive. So they adapted a legacy pre-cloud era code to create a competitor to dropbox and google drive. Imagibe how well that code works…
  2. Yeah this has nothing to do with playing RPG, just a generation of screens.

    But it reminded one of the firsts prompts I tried with ChatGPT back in 2022. I asked him to simulate a text-based adventure (based on the discworld universe) and every command I gave it would behave as an open world text RPG. It was pretty mindblowing

  3. Hans Zimmer is my soundtrack of choice for focus (Dune 2 is specially good). Found out that a colleague also had the same taste which was surprising for me, now I imagine it is a common use case for his music.
  4. Proving that another thing extremists share (on whatever side) is the total lack of economic sense.
  5. Maybe OpenAI is burning money heavily and MS is the only/best partner to get it from?

    Also for MS it is worth to keep investing little by little,getting concessions from OpenAI and becoming the de facto owner of it.

  6. If we are comparing the progress made over time, my vote goes to Brazil, which holds a 50-year advantage in its green energy focus.

  7. The main difference here is that Trump is satisfied with the narrative/appearance of winning, and not really winning. There is no 4D chess on his side other than appear tough and a winner.

    China is in it for the long run, they have a strategy and the poorly thought and planned actions of Trump have opened the world to China, so these 3 next years might be the definitive moment when China becomes the de-facto leader of the world.

    I imagine that the nail in the coffin would be China managing to get the Yuan as the international currency to trade with its partners.

  8. Tried using it, but 2FA is throwing me the error 409 below. Might be because I'm behind my company VPN.

    Route Error (409 ): { "error": { "message": "Something went wrong. Please make sure your device's date and time are set properly. Check that your internet connection is stable, then restart the app and try again.", "type": "invalid_request_error", "param": null, "code": "preauth_cookie_failed" } }

  9. >And major companies conducting layoffs like IBM and Salesforce have held themselves up as examples of that narrative, though their employee culls may be more focused on outsourcing than automation.

    Automation seems to be a better excuse than outsourcing

  10. ...and pricing.
  11. Some players circumvent this by creating "blog posts" where they compare/about multiple tools. Like it is a fair use but in reality is an ad in disguise.
  12. I used to think like you, believing that, on average, society would expurge the craziness, but the last decade and the effect of social media and the echo chambers in groups made me see that I was completely wrong.
  13. I think the problem is that apparently some people discovered there is a profitable business model in spreading misinformation, so a trustful (even if not always right), non malicious, reference of information might be needed.

    But who watches the watchmen?

  14. Great you are owning the mistake and fixing it.

    May I suggest a public post mortem so that the doubters can see that you went after the root cause?

    Might be interesting for HN as well as big companies have mistakes in policy, teams and automated collections...

  15. He didn't say nor implied that.

    He implied that MAGA is trying to exploit the killing to create the image of the "terrorist left/antifa/BLM/immigrants/arab" conspiracy to their audience.

    Which they are 100% trying to do, like they did with Trump's shooter, who was a lunatic just like Kirk's murderer (and all the others)

  16. >Our other elected representatives have blocked his plans many times but he always forces them through via the supreme court

    As have all the governments before him, with the only exception of Bolsonaro who was dumb enough to provoke the Supreme Court against him. This is something that Trump did better in the US, as he moved loyal conservatives there.

    Which bring us to this failed model of the executive being able to appoint judges to the supreme court (both in the US and Brazil), which totally affects the division of power between Executive and Judiciary. Something I'm sure we agree on here.

    > Plenty of doubt can be raised regarding the trustworthiness of elections conducted via our voting machines

    Here you are replicating talking points from Bolsonaro (who BTW copied it from Trump), who couldn't find any trustful source to back his claim (I remember that pathetic argentinian guy they got before the elections) that has the only objective of supporting him on his failed coup. And those same "flawed machines" were used in Bolsonaro election.

    >Especially since these exact same judges also control the electoral courts and through them the electoral process

    As the other commenter said, remember that it wasn't Lula that appointed Moraes, who is historically right wing. It's nice to tell a conspiracy story of Moraes and Lula drinking champaign together and planning the communist/socialist/whatever domination, but the truth is they play their own games individually.

    In my opinion, Moraes go after Bolsonaro more as a personal vendetta because of his stupid attacks against the Supreme Court in 2020.

    >These are my honest opinions on what's going on in my country

    I believe that you believe that, but I also believe that those are not your opinions, are influences from the social bubble your are inserted in. You believe the "evidence" that is presented to you when you should really be double checking everything, even what is confirming your views.

    The world is not black & white, left & right. You should doubt not only what comes from the "other side", but everything that is presented to you.

    That is usually my position, which I can tell you, is not an easy one, as all groups will consider you to be from the other side, nobody like their bias challenged.

  17. >Every time his party is defeated democratically, they bring it to the supreme court and they force it through.

    What? When did this happen? He won democratically, through the vote, all the times he became president. This seems some wild MAGA-like conspiracy stuff.

  18. I never found a reason to buy a tablet but it seems that you have given a very good one. Moving all the distractions to another device that I can't carry around with me is a great idea and I'm going to try it! Thanks Miika!
  19. Well, there is always the option to create regulation where if the employer uses AI to summarize outputs, it must share with you the full content of the report before the recruiter sees it so that you can point out any inconsistency/error or better explain some passages.
  20. Make no mistake here, Brazil is just not in the same situation as the US because Bolsonaro couldn't manage to equip the Superior Court with a majority of loyalists.

    Also Alexandre de Moraes is crossing the line of his role responsibility (and power) a lot to go after everyone in Bolsonaro's gang.

    So it is not quite a democracy, is just that Bolsonaro has stronger enemies than Trump.

    And this brings the question if to fight someone who does not care about the rules, you must become them and break the rules as well.

  21. This seems more of a concept than a real possibility. In this controlled environment it looks amazing but what about doing that in all cases (important for cars) like in slow velocity,in a curve, in wet/icy road, etc
  22. I would want to see a 3-piece of this written by: 1) a successful 22 year old 2) once successful 22 year old now in this 60s 3) mediocre family man in his 60s

    A clear example of how wrong this is, how many of you would like to have the life of the very successful (in the author terms) Elon Musk?

    I certainly prefer my kids loving me and spending time with me than any billion dollars for expensive toys that I'll have to enjoy alone (or with gold-digger friends) because my own family hates me.

    But this is a view that you only get on your late 30s or. 40s.

  23. I live outside the US in a country that is pretty much pedestrian friendly everywhere.

    Everytime I visit the US, it astonishes me that some places in the US are totally aggressive towards pedestrians, specially in US suburbs, with paths without any sidewalk, no protected pedestrian crossing. If you have to walk around is pretty much like american ninja warrior course.

    Is there any history on why cities are planned ignoring pedestrian needs?

  24. Apparently the MIT Research Paper link is broken (probably removed due to traffic).

    Here is the Archived Version: https://web.archive.org/web/20250818145714/https://nanda.med...

  25. Internal in my opinion. Post 30 y/o specially, the dating scene for men becomes increasingly better (by market dynamics of offer/demand). But of course you need a minimum of soft skills to get more hits than misses in the dating game.

    My take here is that people like the guy in the article lack the soft skills part but as he has grown up being self-aware of his height, probably blames all short-comings on that.

    It would probably be simpler and more effective to do proper gym (better looks and more confidence) than this extreme and painful process.

    I would like to hear someone who did the same procedure to hear if things actually got better now that they are taller.

  26. My father also has bladder cancer (result of years of smoking) and he is doing thw BCG treatment and is quite effective in keeping it from growing
