Factory wages in China are almost $2 more per hour than factory labor in Mexico. I don't buy this argument. Sure, labor protections in China are weak, but let's use our mirrors: the US has no guaranteed paid time off of any kind,

I get fatigue when everyone claims that all these Chinese businesses are state sponsored. Do we not recognize that western governments do this too? Do we not recognize that western banks and VC firms are quasi-state institutions? Do we not

The conversion rate is actually 0%. Nobody will pay more for a USA version. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43787647

Ultimately it’s a solution in search of a problem. Nobody really wants to over-automate their workflows and life if the tradeoff is even a modest decline in accuracy.

I’m not sure why you’re assuming I meant “computers at desks with unfettered access at all times.” Computers being portable doesn’t mean unfettered access. That wasn’t how my school’s laptop carts worked. I also never said to use computers

The newfound desire to move away from American cloud providers isn’t related to pricing, it’s about the perception of growing instability within the American government, the perception of deteriorating freedom of speech, and the perception

This seems highly prescriptive and absolutist. There’s a big difference between “having a tool available” and “using it all the time for everything.” We are not talking about replacing writing and reading on paper. I was fortunate that my m

This is gonna be like Dvorak where eventually we all figure out that it’s not significantly faster and you had to re-learn how to type just to figure that out. I submit the idea that for most smartphone users, distance traveled and layout a

What I mean is that I’m physically far away in the venue. My vision is far from perfect. My phone has 8x optical zoom. I feel sorry for you, because it is probably challenging to be so judgmental and supercilious.

To use the analogy of other vice industries like gambling or alcohol, would you rather buy those products from shady unregulated vendors or more transparent regulated entities? That’s the type of analogy we might make in this case. Obviousl

Yeah a bit of some odd analysis in the article with who won those console wars. Speaking of graphics, it’s still worth pointing out that the PS2 was the weakest console of its generation in most respects save for its unique data streaming c

The best example I’ve come up with for progress in this era is to look at the release schedules of Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, and X, and compare their graphics. Completely insane.

Sounds to me like there’s potential to use these for established models to provide cost/scale advantage while frontier models will run in the existing setup.

I’ve turned myself in to the police because I wasn’t enjoying the moment enough. I regret my crimes. I know better now to have exercised free will too extremely.

Because I enjoy watching the videos later. I don’t know why the techno-reactionary assumption is that the kids are just doing it for clout online, or that the kids recording aren’t enjoying themselves in the moment. To me, that viewpoint se

That was in the era of $10 shows. If I am paying $700 to see Lady Gaga you bet your ass I’m taking some pictures. I actually find k-pop shows somewhat refreshing because there’s zero negative stigma for wanting to record pictures or video.

Well, ads versus algorithmic content recommendations are two very different things. If FB wants to have low standards for their advertisers, that’s on them. It’s not illegal or even inherently immoral to advertise porn, especially if FB alr

That’s fine with me, the government can just mandate utility capacity build-out. These are monopoly businesses where the government has full control over the policy of their operation. I would generally make the argument that data centers a

Well, I understand you won’t lose any sleep, but this is conceptually stupid. That would be like refusing to allow someone to buy a house because the last owner was a convicted of a crime. Sorry, we gotta demolish the house now! And nobody

The title of the article is arguing semantics. Like it or not, the term “social media” is what we use to describe scroll apps like TikTok. The content makes sense, though. It’s nice to just follow people you actually know and see nothing el

This specific list from this specific author isn’t worth using since they refuse to remove items from the list if domain ownership changes. E.g., bought a domain that previously hosted AI content. E.g., Whitehouse.com used to be a porn site

I think this is the wrong way to go. Let them buy energy, but why aren’t utilities’ power rates more strictly regulated? Residential rates should be locked in with inflation, allow business rates to increase.

Back in the day, these companies stayed in their lane, so to speak. When you bought a computer, that’s all it was. It had much more of a toy or appliance like appeal rather than this deeply integrated life augmenter. The idea that a company

I was about to point out two things: 1. This bit you just pointed out. Facebook suggesting Yoleendadong, that’s not weird, she’s wildly popular. Her inclusion in this piece discredits OP as someone who basically has no idea how social media

I believe you’re likely misunderstanding Google’s architecture. The routing isn’t centralized, it’s distributed. The VPCs are a logical abstraction, not a centralized dependency. If you have a region/AZ going down in your global VPC, t

I’m sure anyone willing to read through a 1,000 page document can make a well-architected GCP environment, too. The problem is that no company I’ve ever worked for implemented the well architected framework with their AWS environment, and n
