The rise of AI is especially problematic for India where business process outsourcing makes up a significant fraction of the GDP and most of the GDP growth. Unless Indian export-oriented manufacturing really takes off there is absolutely no

My only pleasant experience outsourcing to India was a native Android app. I think it helped that the two (young) devs had grown up with smartphones.

Democratic socialism is socialism. My country (Denmark) is social democratic which has nothing to do with socialism. Tired of Americans calling this place "socialist" like we are Cuba.

I think most of HN has only tried ChatGPT with GPT-3.5 in December 2022 when the OpenAI servers were getting hammered. That is why they're impressed by these slow and low quality local models and mistakenly think they're on par wi

He is an Asutralian citizen so one has to wonder why Australians haven't burned down the US embassy yet. Why is there not more uproar about it from Australians? The silence from Australia has been deafening. >He was smeared as [...]

As a Danish person who has been to Eastern Germany (outside Berlin) I'm really not surprised by the rise of the AfD. It's common to see people on social media praise Germans for de-Nazification and criticize the Japanese for not c

Not really. I preferred the approach of pre-Musk twitter that clearly labeled it as Russian state media. Also banning it had little effect. The war propaganda coming out of Russia was hilariously incompetent. The real insidious anti-Ukraini
