All this debate about how politics are defined or how bias is measured. My question is why should I care? Grok identifying as Mechahitler didn't drag me any further right, why would ChatGPT be able to drag me left? If you vote the way AI tells you, that's already a problem regardless of what it said.

I'd say about half of Steam players aren't male. The "video games are for boys" thing is kind of a self fulfilling prophecy because anyone who believes that will obviously not play with a woman.

This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. I've been feeling like HN feels more and more repetitive.

This looks cool, and one of the first posts I've seen on HN in a few months where I genuinely wanted to try it.

I mean, nobody in that forum necessarily knows why. It just came from above.

In my experience, HR is all too willing to explore gray areas for company benefit, so any "problems" created are likely actual laws.

Hey I'm sorry for the confusion. This isn't my project, that's why I didn't use a Show HN or anything. I'm not in a position to make changes.

> I used Typst for a few weeks. It already feels much more understandable, consistent, hackable, and customizable. I guess that is the difference between an ad hoc macro system and an actually thought through programming language.

> The only drawback I can see is the ecosystem being smaller and less mature. That is, however, counteracted by being able to do things on your own, without immersing yourself deeply in LaTeX for years. Also, it will improve with time.

A very important note about being charged with something, it's not evidence of guilt but rather an accusation. As an example, of all unsolved murders in the United States, I theorize that you the reader have committed all of them. How does it reflect on your local law enforcement, courts, etc. that you're not sentenced for these crimes?

This is such a HN blog post it's almost funny. You wanted to selfhost and you can but it wasn't easy or particularly Linux friendly, so you got a Rust server from the community, but you wanted something officially supported, so they made a specifically lightweight self-hostable version but it's in a programming language you don't like. :( Those bastards!

> I'd rather hear "the code is bad" than "the post sounds AI-written".

Of course you would. Reading through and judging the quality of AI output is the largest amount of effort in a world where you can get everything else by prompting. Please internalize this: If you want to be respected you will have to put in effort yourself. There is no way around this.

You can absolutely install Linux on a Mac. Back before Apple made custom CPUs they supported and even advertised installing Windows.

Let me just say the performance is absolutely incredible, and the persistence is so transparent. I actually was given access to an in-browser video editor that chokes pretty quickly so I'm impressed. The tracks didn't seem to work well for me. I'm on Firefox on Windows and couldn't drag and drop tracks to change the order, there doesn't seem to be any layer transformation tools (position, rotation, scale) that I could find to counteract it not handling footage of different aspect ratios (I.E. portrait and landscape).

I wonder if since IR is invisible you could theoretically, in an intellectual exercise, blast IR light in a room and mass change them surreptitiously if that was your goal.

> You can only use one library card at a time with OverDrive, and don't have access to the audioboks or periodicals on Libby.

I personally was fine with the limitations, after all I'm only one person and I would only ever read books on my ereader.

Here's the thing, you absolutely can do this in exactly the same way: Make the background transparent and draw within the bounds. You can argue about whether or not you should, but that is the argument. There's no technical limitation.
