Not at first. They'd be too happy cheering.

Why do I give a single shit about the software having an issue at 2am? I don't own the company. I don't care. If they care they can hire night shift triage.

If we actually funded public services to the required levels NASA and so forth would be fine to do things in house. We're just allergic to anything that makes actual sense when we have an oligarchy to support. That's it.

The US government does most of the hard work on medicine. Pharma takes over from there. It's quite literally privatizing the successes and tax payer funded failures.

As soon as the government develops the technology then gets forced to bring in the oligarchs Musk will be able to take credit for it. The issue is literally sonic booms over people's homes and businesses.

Everything is political bro. You're doing the appeal to moderation fallacy.

It's quite literally this. It costs more than free and people don't want that. We're poor and poorer and everyone is overburdened by subscriptions for everything. I get that HN is in a rich bubble but most folks can't af

DRY for the sake of DRY is like not drinking water when you're thirsty.

"Prices are high!" came with both a lack of counter narrative from the Democratic candidate AND a scapegoated narrative that blames the government and migrants for the prices. If you give the masses a narrative they'll buy in

We've known human caused climate change has been a thing for over a hundred years. You can disagree with a take but it's a fact that this has happened.

The power generated won't be used to power homes. It will be used to train LLMs. This does nothing to move us away from carbon. I agree nuclear should be utilized but only for the benefit of the working class. Nuclear for the sake of c

When you walk do you do so on sidewalks?

It's financially free at the time of action but most folks don't have the resources to do that. Time and space are both required and the people who need exercise are the ones least likely to have these criteria met. Most people si

The tool they're asking for already exists. That's what I don't get. Document versioning has been part of MS Office for ten years. If they're not using that why would they bother with Git for normies? They're dinosa

You're abstracting the complexities down to a granularity that strawmans my contention. If you cannot operate the vehicle you need to do your job you don't have that job. I'm not saying that people need to be experts. I'

Why do we need to protect kids? Greed. Why do we need AI to help people? Greed. It's not complex. There are complex things but understanding the cause of business doing business is not complex. It's simple.

Y is the problem of Y. It's profiteering and exploitation.

This post is literally about illiteracy of the tools used at your job. They don't need to be experts but if they can't do basics and cannot process new information they should be out on their ass. Excuses are excuses and shouldn&#

Yeah, if you can drive your car or put fuel in it and you need to drive for your job... Guess what happens? You don't have a job.

It's not complex. It's simple. It's greed. It's absolutely ridiculous that we as a species put up with all of this nonsense because we have a faulty foundational understanding of what is and should be normal. The brain r

Businesses are stupid. More at 11. Yay capitalism.

I find this excuse depressing. We live in the age of computers. If you don't know how to use one you shouldn't be employed where they're necessary. Rather than making a dumbed down workforce we should be building people'

The only logical course is to not use LLM garbage for anything. I know this is heretical within the tech bro monoculture of HN.

Atomic solutions to systemic problems obfuscate the core issue. Butt in seats in the US means you sit for about an hour to go to work then eight to nine at the office and another hour back home. Most people can't change their commute.

Egg producers weren't impacted by the avian flu. They just saw speculation and increased prices. Supply and demand Bros miss the most important thing: justifiable profit seeking.

It's the government not doing anything so it's easy to get conservatives on board and liberals will take anything they can get.
