   Thomas Ptacek dismissed SWE AI concerns as hypocrisy, and I actually think he understated the argument. This is exactly what we get for: - using BSD/MIT licenses instead of GPL licenses - accepting absolutely no liability for security

   I think for this argument to have any weight you have to have evidence that schools are calling CPS on families who are pulling their kids out to homeschool them. I don't see any so far.

   No it doesn't, there's the term "unsheltered homeless" for the group you're talking about.

   I'm not sure what your experience is. To your 2nd point, I googled "homelessness studies" and here's some stuff I found: The bulk of homelessness is a housing problem [0]. Per-capita rates are the highest in the most exp

   Yeah OK I can see that. Mostly you inspired me to do a little napkin math based on the report I linked, which says ~3.1m kids got CPS investigations (etc) in 2023, which is ~8,500 a day. But, the main author in a subsequent paper shows that

   I mean, I'm fine addressing Tabarrok's argument head on: I think there's far more to gain helping the millions of kids/adults who are functionally illiterate than helping the small number of gifted kids the educational s

    Yeah maybe I should subscribe. I read Never Forget What They've Done which I don't remember getting linked on HN and is it a little much? Yeah. Do I feel exactly the same? Also yeah. OK I convinced myself to subscribe haha, I did

    We may be being a little hard on him; I do think he's sincere (I think a lot of stuff gets audience captured, but I absolutely don't think that's the case here). Maybe the way I would phrase it is to me, Zitron's writing

    Oh this is fair; I haven't deeply read a Zitron article in like... some time. If you're looking for the Matt Levine of tech you'll have to keep looking.

    I'm not a subscriber, and I find Zitron's style to be too rage bait to really absorb it all, but I share his tech skeptic perspective. I don't think he has an exhortation as direct as Gerard's "don't invest in

    If you replace "Covid" with "child porn" or "animal cruelty" or "anti-semitism" you'll see how bad this argument is.

    Oh I see. Maybe a way to restate this is "how do I communicate the costs of data to the client", that is the cost of returning top-level user data is let's just say 1; the cost of returning the last 10 comments is 2, and the

    I don't mean to be dismissive, but haven't we solved this by using different endpoints? There's so many virtues: you avoid head of line blocking; you can implement better filtering (eg "sort comments by most popular&quot

    I had an X62 (upgraded motherboard in an x60 shell from 51nb) and my brother had whatever the upgraded X220 was, but they were a little flaky. Super cool though. AIUI the thermal design is the blocker with modern chipsets. Usually it's

    I love the X220. Its input system is unparalleled, its storage (mSATA??) mega flexible, its case nigh unbreakable, its ports waiting to connect to almost anything, its parts all replaceable. I even have the SK-8855 so I can use the (exact)
