It's not normally called "scam" when you just take a simple product, wrap it with lots of marketing and branding, and overprice it. Or maybe it is, in which case the entire modern economy is a scam. Ok I see where this thread

Not sure it's the best advice I got in 2022, but it is my favorite HN comment from 2022! And it's great, period. "There are no tricks, that's just a distraction. Just sit down and do it. Ass in chair gets you there.&

Not sure why we put WeWork, Theranos, and FTX in same bucket? Holmes is in jail, SBF probably on his way, but that Adam Neuman, for what it worth, is apparently not accused in any fraud. He's "just" a failed founder that cost

They don't claim to outperform fixed-tile or SAT on that KPI. They claim to reduce upfront cost of installation, construction time, and general project risk.

This robot does bring back the hope the we humans are still required for things to be done right. It's about the level I was when sat on a kit first time in my life.

I did similar tests with the bot about chords scales and time signature. His ignorance and general stupidity on that matter, coupled with overconfidence and extreme insistence on wrong outputs, is really funny.
