This is the most important comment in the thread. Humans want to connect with other humans. You can pump out all of the perfectly-rendered perfectly-customized & personalized fully-immersive metaverse simulation but at the end of the da

Most of the incremental innovation I've seen from tech for the past ten years has been darkpatterns, enshittification, surveillance, and profit-driven exploitation.

You've confused a loop with a spiral. Yes, culture is often derivative and yes sequels happen – but also culture builds and shifts and changes unpredictably and delightfully.

I'm not worried in the medium-to-long term. Tech (which is nothing more than a lackey of Big Business) will never understand that real demand for cultural artifacts – art, books, film – comes from the consumers' need for real huma

Clown show. Why hasn't their CSO been fired by now.

Good. Italy has a very strong food culture and I'm glad someone will resist the cultural imperialism of spreadsheet brains. There's some things that tech cannot and should not solve.

Hilarious to me how proponents of synthetic/plant-based food always seem to gloss over the cultural aspects of food. It's such a spreadsheet-brain way of looking at the world.

We just keep everything in a big binder and have a dedicated email address for the house. When we sell, we'll just hand the whole thing over. No need to overthink ig.

As if it wasn't already confusing enough to most people, LeCun misuses "open source" likely at the behest or benefit of his Meta handlers. Because of this, I cannot take anything he says very seriously. In this field where th

The current AI craze is fun and cool. And like all fun and cool things, people immediately must rush to take two sides, usually along some made-up "this is good" vs. "this is bad" line. Happened with MTV Happened with vi

I for one am just totally shocked that a silicon valley executive would exhibit some sociopathic behaviors.

Your comment presupposes that bigger = better. This may or may not be true, but size is not necessarily a predictor of victory, especially in warfare. History is rife with smaller belligerents defeating larger ones through innovation/f

No corporate structure – except for maybe incorporating in the DPRK – can eliminate lawsuits.

by 23B1 3y ago
Corporate structure is not immunity from getting sued. Evidently HN doesn't understand that lawsuits are a tactic, not a conclusion.

Shareholder lawsuits happen all the time for much smaller issues.

No, it's not – but it can be abused. It basically just comes down to your relationships and performance at work, especially with your direct reports and/or manager. Here's it working: As a manager, my reports know they don&#x

I'm always happy to sign a noncompete – and add a line about how the company will pay my full rate for the duration.

Third vote for Zoho. Just got tired of the existential dread of depending on a company that clearly does not give a damn about SMB.

A+ quality rant. Some of thes are 'out there' and indulge in compositional fallacies, but I agree with the sentiment – and it can all be mapped backed to the attitudes of the robber barons of yore. I don't think it's con

If you need the degree from an accredited institution, I suppose. But even then, it's not insurmountable to learn these concepts on your own and apply them in the real world.

The good news is that all the stuff you need to start your own institution is "on chain" in the curricula itself!

You're exactly correct on the solution, but allow me to take it down to a more fundamental level; the traditional liberal arts education! 1. Grammar to understand language 2. Logic to construct arguments based on reason 3. Rhetoric to
