You mean that chrome is an internet explorer?

Something no one else would want - a little colored dot next to HN user names keyed to their generation, so I could quickly tell why none of the commenter mentioned AOL.

What about Prodigy and Compuserve?

More of a navigator for the 'scape of the net.

Great joke, but taking the word literal and not as product name, it makes a lot of sense to describe chrome as a tool to explore the internet.

(Edit: thinking about it, I think generic terms like "Internet Explorer" should not be trademarkable at all, also I just learned, that also Microsoft "stole" the name and had to pay in a settlement..)

No, I think it was meant literally. Like the IT Crowd skit where Jen refers to the Internet Explorer desktop shortcut as "the button for the internet".

I can't vibe code on a M3 Max - 48GB like I do with claude or codex..Far from it

Meanwhile our architecture team that surely supported 0 real life k8s went with no vendor, on premises deployments, claiming it was as easy as booting a VM, after 2y, there is 2 apps running and supposedly all future apps will be deployed on that cluster.

I cannot wait for the end of this month to leave that place.

Anything real world tech is hard.

We are hiring, btw.

I scanned a page of a particular book, and several models recognized it was from that book. And it almost felt that it resurgitated the content that it knew than real OCR.

My client paid 5 digit consulting fee for that shit.

I have been out of openai azure deployments for a whole,1year+, but we had often spikes in latency, escalated to the Head of Azure Europe, and still no official clues about them, meanwhile they were trying to get us in some kind of collaboration announcements. And it was the only reasons we had a few meetings with that guy.

So yeah Azure sucked ass and plenty of outages or latency, like 3min for first byte while usually it was max 30sec to 1min, if not even faster (memory is a bit fussy)

Network and social status is more important than your experiences.

And media loves outliers or bullshitting on the self made part.

In France, in the 80s-80s, a comedian trio did a sketch on rural hunters, and the final was about the difference between the good hunter and the bad hunter, the whole sketch was like 6-7min and 1min was about the good and bad hunter.

I keep remembering this sketch each time I read about the differences in prosecution in the US between social classes.

You have to switch your VPN to France to watch this video. Just FYI. I didn't get it at all btw.

From what I gathered:

What's the difference between a good hunter and bad hunter.

A bad hunter shoots anything that moves, a good hunter shoots anything that moves. Perhaps something was lost in translation.

It's parody of French rural hunters, and in this section, it's about the mental gymnastics they have about differencing themselves from the "bad" ones, while the rest of the sketch you see them shooting at any movements, littering the forest, explaining multiple hunting "accidents".

And the autosub doesn't do justice.

I love light roast+ espresso, even better with a lever machine that can handle high pressure and a thin stream of coffee

My experience as well on non trivial stuff for personal projects, just talk... It makes mistakes but considering the code I see in professionnal settings, I rather deal with an agent than third parties.
