Less Hashi, more Corp Mitchell's gone and without the Hashi it's just another Corp who once made great tools being swallowed. Do you think IBM will be as good of a steward?

Ghostty 1.2 (coming in Sept) is absolutely rock solid and extremely polished. I can't wait to get this into everyone's hands soon. Sorry, search and scrollbars are deferred to 1.3, but we're nearing the finish line of what I'd consider the "best existing terminal" I've had for…

Goldman: "The downward revision to payroll growth for the prior 2 months in the July report was one of the largest since 1960, and it came alongside several months of downward revisions before that. Downward revisions of this magnitude have rarely occurred outside of a recession"
IYKYK - Chippewas Falls is Seymour Cray’s home and where they are still building Cray computers today
I'd forgive you for assuming that we merely integrate components fully designed and manufactured overseas; that's how most computer companies work today. But did you know that our system PCBs are designed in-house and laid down in Ontario/Chippewa Falls?
Brilliant smart for everyone! Were other datasets/graphics/research designs examined but unpublished? Graphic requires memorizing a stupefying color code, use local labels like a map A priori, remember NEJM & Lancet former editors: ‘half of published research papers = false”
Microsoft claims their new AI framework diagnoses 4x better than doctors. I'm a medical doctor and I actually read the paper. Here's my perspective on why this is both impressive AND misleading ... 🧵
ChatGPT is not going to work in flight school, thankfully. The Air Force had “morning stand-up” where instructors went around the room asking direct “General Knowledge” (GK) questions – things like the jet’s limits, the FAA rules, how the instruments worked, etc.. After, there…

I have a momentous announcement to make. Last week as those who follow me know, @ElonMusk extended to me an invitation unlike any other—the opportunity to join him on a pioneering journey to Mars. After deep reflection and discussions with my family, I have made the life-changing…
Modern Computing is only possible because Honeywell filed a lawsuit a few minutes early. The invalidation of ENIAC’s patent in Honeywell vs Sperry Rand placed the invention of the digital computer into public domain. Without it, the U.S could have easily lost tech dominance.
I'm here to once again remind people that for every topic on HN I've ever been truly an expert of or have had access to inside information: the HN commentary is impressively, yet very confidently, wrong. When reading other topics, I have to constantly remind myself that...
Floor Rolling
Pretending to stop an unpopular congestion tax before an election, only to resurrect it after the vote & ram it through before the party that opposed it takes office, truly validates every cynical view of government & reminds people why they hate two-faced politicians above all.
Wise words on the cause of inflation from Milton Friedman: "Inflation is made in Washington because only Washington can create money...What produces it is too much government spending and too much government creation of money and nothing else."
