Wow, flashback to 2017. This was a narrative back then, and it led to the creation of (and eventual demise of) the bcash fork.

For the past year or so, when I have tried to point out the risk of this kind of thing on places like HN, my comments have been aggressively downvoted. Ignore the writing on the wall at your own peril.

I’m pretty sure the person who said that quote about non-professional musicians who purchase Eurorack modules was Paul Schreiber, who passed away about a month ago. Gonna look it up, and I’ll edit this post when I find out. Edit 1: Didn’t f

HN has a lot of immigrants that work in the US. What is happening right now is relevant to many users of this site. Maybe think about this before knee-jerk flagging

Capitalism isn’t a form of government. It’s an economic system. Politicized, sure.

That’s just saying the same thing with more words. Add “…with others” to the end of my statement. Pedantry is what the oppressors want.

Louder, for the people in the back. This is a solid summary of what happened during the political shifting of the last (almost) ten years. Unfortunate that this comment is so deep in the thread here.

Thanks for this. I’m planning a tour of hacker spaces, maker spaces, and any DIY-related places across Europe in April and May. Will definitely be using this for my research. If you have any other recommendations for Berlin and surrounding

Anecdotally, most chatbots don’t actually provide productivity benefits. We have access to state of the art here at HN. I can download the latest open models and run them locally, and the results are impressive as hell. When I use the mass
