A related quirk is English people saying "an hotel" (pronounced an otel). It's a subset, and specifically more popular with English speakers as opposed to non-English British. Also, someone else claimed the English don't say "an historic" - incorrect. Again it's not universal.


Mountainous jungle terrain?


You should just ask AI, since you used AI to make the encoder and write your HN post.


ChatGPT 5.6-Sol via CoPilot is absolutely fine in my experience - no weird LLM-ese.


It's remarkable how much it hasn't worked: Google "the Hanover institute" and you get an AI summary that references various Palestinian activist websites, with no actual link to 'the Hanover institute'. Google "the Hanover institute website" and you'll drag a URL out of Google AI, but it isn't clickable!


Contemptible cookie dialog.


What, didn’t you want hundreds of companies track you while you try to get the audio work on a drum simulator?


I am sorry about that, I thought I removed the consent banner along with the ads completely this morning, then I came back here and realized Google AdSense still had the consent banner published, I forgot to disable it, it doesn't show up to me as I am not EU I guess. Should be gone now, please let me know if something else still shows up.


Some Conservative activists were campaigning for the joke candidate in the constituency. Although none of the parties officially endorsed him obviously, they have all been gushing about him on social media.

I'm not sure the traditional parties standing aside in favour of a joke candidate, even if none of them stood a chance in this constituency individually, paid off. It probably just pissed off Farage voters hence his increased vote count with a reduced turnout.

The whole thing was cringeworthy, insulting to the voters, and just played into Farage's hands.


0.16% (high estimate) of global water usage by the way.


This statistic doesn't show the disproportionate effect it may have on local communities close to these AI datacenters.


> It is clear from the article that what eats up so much RAM is not the weather app itself but the framework it runs on. There is a "Renderer", a "GPU Process",... eating most of it.

Got a bit confused by this, because nowhere in the article are the words "Renderer" or "GPU". Regardless - all processes that comprise the app are the app, not just the parent process.

When I run it locally and check in procexp it has 8 webview subprocesses and all together it's using similar if not higher levels of memory than claimed in the article. Private Bytes is over a GB in total. I expect the webview processes are sharing memory for DLLs though.


>It’s rare to see political attitudes change this fast

On the contrary - these mass political crazes are like flash-floods these days.
