“When we did this analysis…” Nah, kids, this is an opinion column. If you can’t tell the difference, then you don’t get to sit at the adults table. I’ve been an opinion writer for most of my life, and dressing up my perspectives in scientif

This is the most white collar “we call bullshit” type of writing I’ve seen in a long time and I’m here for it. Not a good sign for the next two AI IPOs either. SpaceX had the hubris to release their S-1 publicly and whatnot. This is going t

Uh, are you sure about that claim regarding surveillance over human history? Just because the technology has advanced does not entail the methods or concepts are novel. Quite the contrary in my view: the modern versions are natural evolutio

Answer: During development, children are in a condition where their fears are predominant. The world is big and scary and they need conditions and support to begin to process their emotions, all of them, into what I consider a “rainbow.” Ea

Everything you address makes sense. I’m not a Texan by birth but most of my life here, have traveled overseas, learned French language, culture, and cuisine. The issue is, unfortunately, profit drives everything here. Now it’s driving the m

“It’s hard for me to put into words how bad this is.” AHAHAHAHA! I genuinely laughed out loud, filled the room. This is the “citation needed” rebuttal most REASONABLE people in the software industry have been looking for, and the sample siz

This is a great summary and well reasoned. Kudos to u/lpcvoid and I’m saving for later. Also the Torment Nexus link was helpful. Starting to see more of these and in time it will matter. Ed Zitron is human and fallible but certainly ge

Also relevant: the “swallow my pride and do this for the clicks” videos in the day of release that YouTubers began posting once the embargo was lifted. It was obvious no matter what they actually thought they were going to toe the line Fe

Could be an interesting angle for cross-referencing with US jury verdicts, not that the objective True/False issue is concrete, but in the reality that flawed reasoning is endemic to our species. Systems designed and built by humans in

Counterpoint: based on a lot of anecdotes here, the most likely people to burn tokens aren’t GenZ but managers using ChatGPT to respond to questions or otherwise as an outsourcing of their job. There aren’t enough GenZ in the workforce to

Ahem, there is a new Rolling Stones album slated for release in 2026. I most definitely agree with you by the way.

Oh wow, it’s even worse than I imagined based on those early images of the PlaySkool cockpit renderings! The body lines? What body lines? I’m a vocal critic of derivative design, but this space egg usually is little more than a Junior Stu

And while your comment has validity, in the US the phrase uttered by Presidential candidate Mitt Romney adds a layer of complexity: “Corporations are people, my friend.”

I wrote about this ages ago, in that shark skin is an evolutionary adaptation worth study because water is thicker than air, but when air compounds, blah blah blah. Basically think of making a composite mold with directional tiny tiny dorsa

I was a CS major in early 2000s before switching. English. However my tech abilities are what got me the career path - MS Word is powerful, few people learn how to write well, much less with business acumen. This is now in your neighborhood

It said they were covering up abuse by a Deputy and that they should clean house old school out front of their HQ. There was a drawing of a noose on it. At no point did the note say anything about action being planned or threatened against

Not surprised. Tarrant County told the US Marshals my styrofoam cooler with vomit in it was a “bomb threat” and charged me with use of a DEADLY WEAPON. Honestly. If my public defender hadn’t colluded with the Prosecution it wouldn’t be on m

On God this is some of the funniest shit I’ve ever read in 2026 via HN! It’s the best “anti-tisement” for LLM utility - even a CHILD could do better. Like maybe a control group of four 10 year olds. The average listening time is the absolut

Their E&O insurance policy premium must be triple that of any regularly staffed organization…that is if they have the guts and brains to get said policy. Doubtful.

Also relevant: the derision and mockery directed at JD Vance as a “couch fucker” even used by John Oliver. I read “Hillbilly Elegy” and wondered why it wasn’t in there. Snopes cleared it up in a matter of minutes. Why he hasn’t sued people
