Based on my observations, ahem research, you must not have fired developers to make room for AI. Therefore, you are not qualified to be a CEO.

Ooo yeah. Mmk that’d be great.

Oh so you’re saying that’s what happened to the Tang dynasty and this is just a huge coverup.

I had used codex to reverse engineer an electric skateboard to unbrick it. It was a bit more involved because it required soldering wires directly to the UART headers in a very awkward location. Took about 10 hours and it now works fine. Wi

I’m now wondering if Apple and Google will be next. Mileage may vary but I find my Apple Watch to be accurate enough. That said, all users of these devices should understand their limitations though and take what they see with a grain of sa

Yeah, mostly agree but playing devils advocate, PRISM was authorized under bush, implemented under Obama, and is being abused by Trump. Obama promised safeguards, but it’s pretty clear those were just a ruse. It’s only going to get worse. T

We’re headed toward an economy like Japan’s. It’s not a place we’re going to want to be.

YC funds the “idea.” Despite having deep issues with this particular business, looking at global trends, I really only see one of two possible outcomes. 1) They’ll survive through this hopefully with some kind of significant reform (on pape

For what legitimate reason would Flock be giving 1,200 vendors access to the city’s information? I don’t see how they’re going to be able to feasibly walk back from this without taking a massive punch to their business. And also great timin

Title is a bit misleading. Article says > “by urging firms” Hardly a “requirement” and I’m fairly confident that 100% of the companies will choose the “explain why they won’t disclose” option.

Still very much the case in East Asia.

They’ve been doing this for a while now and it’s one of the main reasons I have believed that Amazon Prime is a money grab if you live in a moderately populated metro area.

Literally just discovered this was broken today. I was looking for the length of the bike valve stem I bought 2 years ago and was incredibly disappointed that they don’t tell me, even on the invoice. What’s the why behind this? Is this to g

Once warming gets to a point we may not need desalination plants. The boil off from the ocean will perpetuate rainfall. Clean water for everyone. Never mind the 100+ mph winds that go along with that.

Surely has nothing to do with rolling back literal decades of safety regulations in 2 years.

It’s what the American corporate work culture expects though. She’ll be well acclimated.

I may actually ask this, and if anyone has already, absolute legend. I definitely would politely request an AI summary of the meeting.
