I don’t get what you’re implying. What is repatriating; You think they will move their workloads to on-prem? Is there something different about the world that changed the trade-off calculus for cloud vs on-prem from how it was in the last 1

As a thought experiment - such shocks (govt pressure to use models for bad purposes and govt excluding access to non-Americans) coming early in the ‘ai revolution’ will wake up the rest of the world sooner that they have to get their act to

I loved that show. The love that went into it really shows. Sadly the gap between reality and satire has shrunk. But yes. I also wish that show would come back. Noam shazeer would be google head dreamer

Can you write a more specific question? I think the meaning of the comment is clear enough, but maybe you’re asking for more specifics? Ironically I can not understand what you are asking for with such a generic comment.

I have very fond memories of reading that book.

Your last paragraph hit home with me. I also find it refreshing to be clear and direct, have the intent be directly understood, and have a pleasant, good faith, high signal conversation as a result. I hardly ever experience that with humans

Just a thought, but: maybe it’s even easier to (as well as do what you suggest, which is a good idea) build and sell buggy (ie backdoored) devices. What’s easier, marketing or finding bugs :-) (Not a rhetorical question)

I get your point, but I think that such high risk situations simply are not compatible with common sense, case by case decision making. As a consequence we need some extremely risk averse rules that everyone always follows, no matter how in

Off-topic, but I found his diss track years after the fact and actually reallly respect he could put together and perform a pretty smooth, catchy, witty track in what must have been a stressful time.

I’ve been thinking about this, or a variant of it. Hypothetically, I’m scared and sad that AI can replace me (it currently can’t, not literally, but a lot of my skill and expertise, built up over say 30 years, that used to be valuable and r

It does remind me of “Nvidia reported record revenue of $81.6 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2026”. Not an apples to apples comparison, but I am inclined to read this through the ‘selling shovels is smart’ lens.

RIP chipknip. But let’s appreciate its ambition: electronic payments without being online.

As someone who works somewhere where the intranet is a bit of a jungle: what tool do you use to scour the intranet? Thanks!

I’m not an epidemiologist, but Ebola isn’t airborne like COVID is, so that isn’t a comparison that can be made. infrastructure density matters, but it doesn’t affect both the same way.

I honestly think this is a difficult and fascinating question. This is like the dark energy of software cosmology. Why is the natural state to get larger and more complex for un-proportionate pleasure of use?

Idea Looks really attractive to me too. I joined the waiting list. I hope it’s not purely ai generated, but who knows, maybe it is and it’s still interesting and informative. It could still be with such huge volume and high signal basis. Wi

Well said. I think we all shouldnt be too quick to assume that the problem starts with the person doing the bullying, nice and simple as that would be.

Such unsubstantiated claims against the integrity of HN moderators should not be thrown around so casually.

If I can just stand up for the nitpicker - arguably in the uncanny valley it’s more natural to point out it’s not reading (by their definition) than outside it (ssd’s).

Well said. And similarly, it always seems to be the simple, bottom up, “let’s just build something simple and minimal that works” projects that get iterated on that do can do well, and start to strain when the technical debt and complexity

Sounds like a prison. I can honestly say that I wouldn’t like that if i couldn’t appear in public. A luxury prison, but a prison nonetheless. (Having the money would be nice, of course.)
