Speak for yourself but I certainly don't know how it works. Also, if you don't think the difficulty is the knowledge, I'm sorry but I must disagree. There has been more than one government or corporation or large institution

IMO nothing even comes close to beating a land value tax with a citizens dividend for fixing housing and wealth distribution challenges.

Any good resources or wrappers for indexedDB people would recommend? The API seems kinda unapproachable compared to other data stores. https://github.com/tinyplex/tinybase seems kinda good maybe?

Most people in the real work are pretty nervous about AI as well. This isn't a HN specific thing. Most people think AI represents a threat to many good things. I can't say that they're saying either. There are undoubtedly man

I really take issue with the kind of argument that is used here. This is not a genuine argument and tries to make the entire question of consciousness into one something that is just supposed to be evident and obvious and to suggest anythin

I'll have some of whatever PG is smoking here! This might be one point of view, but if you imagine an economy where everyone is poor/living paycheck-to-paycheck, then this looks super wrong: Everyone has $100, earns $100/mont

Still, seems like table stakes. Start with georgist/pigouvian taxes, and then expand to other kinds of income/wealth afterwards. But Georgist taxes can go really far I'd imagine.

Bingo! Yes! A tax system that incentivizes productivity! You for president! I would vote for this so f*** hard!

Kinda interesting how Google is releasing a big wave of enshitifications immediately prior to the Anthropic and OpenAI and spacex IPOs. On assumes there is a strategic reason for it, but I'm not sure about what it is. Anyone have a the

Those sort of things are already highly biased because of the marketing spam that the modelsmare trained on. I'd be more worried about AI convincing you that you need a product or expensive solution when you actually don't.

/sarcastic This is how to keep simpletons out of your code base. Every numeric constant is defined in terms of a different lang quiz. Works well in JS as well of course. const DEFAULT_SELECTION = true + true const BASE_PRICE = 4

Do you really think a couple algorithm changes are all that's needed to make social media something into something that won't have a significant negative impact on the average child if they're exposed to it?

It's not the actual sleep. It's that parenting is exhausting. I could do physical labor for hours. Code straight for hours. But when I have to look after the 2 kids for 3 hours solo I'm totally exhausted. And I don't mea

Exactly! If we're gonna give this actual attention, we should be focusing on the fact that they should be banned from any form of insider trading or major conflict of interest!

22% YoY revenue increase. Doing something right. Maybe mass layoffs like Oracle/Meta/Amazon are doing isn't actually a good way to grow a company after all!

You know what else changed around this time? They dropped Ruby on Rails. Ruby on rails got a bad rap IMO. It was maybe the epitome of the get shit done internet era, and despite AI's proported productivity gains, I actually don't

Good luck getting your 5 month old daughter to pick red when her favorite color is blue.

Agree. Question is super easy is everyone is rational. But that's not the question. The whole point is that it's about the whole world - not a set of rational actors.

You think it's easier to convince everyone to pick red than 51% of people to pick blue? If you think it's possible to convince everyone to vote red then it's certainly possible to do the same for blue given how much lower the
