Perhaps she is just media savvy and will take the hit from comment trolls rather than be direct about it. It also sends a message to potential sponsors of her willingness to entertain offers.

Yep! There’s a lot of cargo-culting in the valley for sure. It’s deep cuts like this that make hn worth the read. Cheers!

I still get a kick out of the fact that the person that came up with Nerd Merit Badges is the same person that came up with the term fullstack and almost nobody mentions it or even gets the original meaning of the term.

Adobe’s acquisition and Apple’s headset are bulkheads. As compelling as generative AI technologies are, WebGPU makes it chooch.

Can confirm that particular stretch of Mission has been like that for at least forty years I’ve been around to witness it. If you show up to the city during a boom, you’re probably too focused on living your best life to see the reality of

Tenderloin got its name because coppers would get extra for working a shift there, allowing them to afford a better cut of meat. It’s always been like that. Same with mid-market. It’s a city. Move back to the valley or whatever burb you rol

With the high cost of living who can afford to own the libs? $44B seems excessive.

I wish stories like this would keep people away, but the sad truth is they keep coming regardless. People will continue to risk it all to live with earthquakes, floods, wildfires, and a high cost of living just to get away from oppressive s

If you prefer revisionist history, then Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. Stay home and read a book.

It’s up to the individual to diversify and triangulate their news sources. Open source news and open source software are two different things, so keep that in mind when parsing this. It’s up to everyone to call out poor journalism when they

It's worth investigating the effect of ballpoint pen technology on society. Beyond cleanliness and general convenience, the ballpoint pen has stood as an example of technological innovation that makes the rounds in one form or another

It's as interactive as that key press or mouse click you implemented in your reply. NeRFs are an intermediary step. So is motion capture and physical simulation, which we already know how to do. Folks on this side of the uncanny valley

The Streisand effect? TikTok is sketchy AF, but you don’t ban it. Just have your buddies at Raytheon or Teledyne snatch up the old Vine assets and get cheugy with it.

This is the third HN thread on this I’ve come across today. Someone else mentioned that a good deterrent for this form of abuse of power is to take away their pensions if they take part in this kind of fuckery. Defund fascism. Demilitarize

It’s not the company so much as it’s the corporate conformists that swarmed the valley. What happens when the carpetbaggers are left holding the bag? Will they actually build things that matter?

It used to be that tech companies and startups were for the young, but now that every company is a tech company (bringing along all the societal baggage) we’ll see more of the same systemic incompetence, but mostly from companies that still

It’s not about compute, though I’d suggest reevaluating the load involved above and where that might be accomplished before comparing apples.

> isn't it a sign of a lack of progress the fact that the pinnacle of modern technology is the fact we can do the same things shown 50 years ago _slightly better_? This was implied, but thank you for capturing the spirit succinctly.

The prior art section should be a reminder that we haven’t progressed as far as some might think. I’ll watch Doug Engelbart’s demo every year or so to remind myself of that.

I suggest you read Tim O’Reilly’s “What is Web 2.0” post first [^1]. Most of what you mention hasn’t progressed beyond that. To be clear, Web3 is MBA/“crypto”bro snake oil sold to an audience looking for a quick fix. Don’t fall for the
