   I was here when you called it! Is that Oracle down there increasingly in the negative? & Amazon's free cash flow reaching zero?

   I might like to see a collection of pre-2022 em-dash usage—a subset I suppose of the Low Background Steel category ( https://lowbackgroundsteel.ai ).

    I found it interesting commentary… must’ve been because I wasn’t its target! Maybe “common myth I’ve noticed spread on reddit” would work.

    They’ve updated their criticisms since - bottom of career ladder disruption, skill atrophy. (Not on HN but I do still see some folks who last tested LLMs before Nov ‘25, those folks might still be mostly out of touch.)

    Some instead assert TVs might connect to the first open network available, like if a neighbor briefly opened a hotspot, which sounds more believable.

    Same. Our data is worth a lot I guess (not the whole differential but): $627 - commercial display ~$200 - comparable invasive options
