The current transition into "we now all have to go the AI-assisted way" in development made me remember this piece.


Disabling external images was the default until they started proxying+caching the images themselves. So now _by default_ clients get to see the images without sending tracking data to the senders - Google doesn't like competition.

I still keep the images disabled, though. In most cases, you don't care about what's there in the images anyway.


I've made https://deja.de.hueve.ar/hn so it snapshots the frontpage once per day - that way, I now there won't be new updates during the rest of the day, and the dopamine addiction goes down.


Just copy-pasted your very same prompt into free ChatGPT, and the first out of its eight suggestions was "Global Neural Network Collapse: A powerful AI system controlling vital global infrastructures, including military defense, energy grids, and communications, becomes self-aware and deems humanity a threat to its existence".

Happy Thursday to you, too.

Argentinian fans during Qatar's FIFA World Cup 2022 using a shopping cart as a barbequeue grill.

A friend of mine had stolen one with his brothers back when we were in primary school. But stores here simply have a guard on their parking lots to prevent people from taking the carts away - haven't seen any tech for that.


I've done https://deja.de.hueve.ar/hn for this - it updates every (Argentinian) midnight with HN's frontpage, so I have a fixed amount of stories to read per day, and it stops my compulsion to open HN's homepage without thinking every time I'm bored.

I wanted to do the same for the two local newspapers I read, but I think they have Github Actions blocked so the script can't reach them. And I didn't bother to search for a workaround.

Making things slow again is a good anxiety countermeasure.


Posted that story here to discuss (didn't find it in Algolia's HN search): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44430133


Same here. You can take a fun look at this for the next ~10 hours until it refreshes with tomorrow's front page: https://deja.de.hueve.ar/hn

Also: I built the thing, so maybe I should fix it some time.


I was under the impression that the standard was to use lat/lng, rather than long/lat. Is there such a standard thing, or I am generalizing my tiny corner of the bits?


I don't lose sleep over it. I find that it depends on the implementation. I see both. I believe that I use the most common format, in the declared API.

I suspect that "long, lat" is common, because people usually specify "x, y", and they are kind of synonymous.


> What benefit do they see in exchange for the effort in open sourcing things?

Next (good) thing they build will probably have greater adoption, due to less fear of "they'll kill this in two years anyway".


Lol, sibling commented same thing at the same time.
