✨ Read this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: cars · August 20, 2026 · 3 min read A couple years ago, GM made waves by saying that soon, all their new cars would be completely free of Apple's CarPlay and Android Auto support, instead opting for the "Android Automotive OS" in their cars. Admittedly, I'm a huge fan of CarPlay for basic safety reasons and how it lets you hear or send texts without ever having to look at or touch your phone, so I was not happy to hear this news. I…

✨ Discover this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Chad Maltby, September 2026 Let me tell you why. When you save something the Mac dumps you into a folder somewhere. You may or may not move away from that. Then you save. Later, both Finder and Spotlight require you to know something. Where the file is, what it is called, or some content to surface it for you. It requires some knowledge on your part. If I am saving many files every day, it is a thin knowledge. If I worked all day yesterday…

🚀 Explore this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: tl;dr Try it at https://trynix.dev. Click hello, or python 3.6.2 from 2017, or two eras of hello at once, or a package that exists in no public cache. A Linux machine boots in the tab and you get a shell with those Nix packages on PATH. This is my magnum opus of Nix work. I knew all the ideas I have been creating were building blogs for something greater: nixpkgs-multiverse indexed every version of every package nixpkgs ever shipped, grail taught it version ranges and…

How I feel about AI

0 CommentsEntertainment

🔥 Explore this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: I feel surprise at how well neural networks work. LLMs work like "gut feeling" as they just generate one more token after another. There is no planning or reasoning algorithm inside. Yet, some planning and reasoning emerges. I feel fear about an impending doom. Yudkowsky's argument that a superintelligent AI will inevitably destroy humanity seems to have no flaw. Yet, nobody seriously tries to sandbox AIs because they are too useful with access. I feel disgust about AI companies destroying the open web society. Their…

Keen Bean — leave the meeting with a first draft

🔥 Explore this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: You ran the meeting, so you couldn't take notes. The bot that took them made your client uncomfortable and gave you a transcript nobody will read. And the write-up is still yours to do tonight — because there's nobody to hand it to. The honest answers Questions worth asking. So it writes my deliverable for me? No, and we won't pretend otherwise. It gets you a first draft while the conversation is fresh. Plenty of what a finished document needs won't even have been discussed…

I changed my license – Henri Bergius in Alofi, Niue

0 CommentsEntertainment

🚀 Discover this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: In the last 28 years of publishing software, I’ve had three distinct eras of software licensing. All of my recent stuff is available under the European Union Public License 1.2, and I thought to explain why. Midgard was all LGPLv2. This was a simpler time, and there weren’t that many free software licenses around. Since Midgard was a web framework, using a weak copyleft license felt like the right thing to do. The example website shipping with Midgard was X11 licensed. When I started working…
