Cmon, even famous virtuosos still have to go through a period of being children without fine motor control. I won’t argue about the obviousness as that’s a tarpit of comparing each others social circles, but let say it’s reasonable to assum

On the other hand, you can’t develop a technology if you have no knowledge of its inner workings. This is an issue the US finds itself in now as it tries to onshore manufacturing again after allowing someone else to play middle man for deca

Even accounting inflation and the youth wage, that wage sounds too low for the Netherlands. It should’ve been at least 450 euro equivalent even in 1990, using 2024 value euros. Source: https://www.boeckler.de/pdf/ta_net

They have but it does feel like they are developing a closed platform aka Apple. Apple has shortcuts, but they haven’t propped it up like a standard that other people can use. To contrast this is something you can use even if you have nothi

I think it is. The irony is that the people you hired to help make your machine seem human are seen as mechanical because of their distinct and uniformly sophisticated tone. Thus we have a situation that’s contrary to expectations.

Ironically OpenAI used Kenyan workers[1] to train its AI and now we've come to the point where Kenyans are being excluded because they sound too much like the AI that they helped train. [1] https://time.com/6247678&#x2F

Barclays used to operate under Barclays Bank PLC. IMO, if disambiguation was problematic online they would have reverted back to that name. You bring up good points, but I don't think that company naming has to be 100% proof against co

In many countries, company names are unique to that country. And combined with country TLDs controlled by the nation-state itself, it'd be possible for at least barclays.co.uk to be provably owned by the UK bank itself when a EV cert

I'm not the OP, but I do have an annectote. We've got an backend pipeline that does image processing. At every step of the pipeline, it would make copies of small (less than 10MB) files from an S3 storage source, do a task, then c

To put it in perspective, "we" on HN are like hairdressers who all chose to charge for our services. So it's less of a complaint and more of well meaning advise that he too should work for pay.

Why is capitalism only creating homeless encampments in San Fran and not generally in the US? Maybe it’s not capitalism at fault here but a government that is unwilling or unable to supply standard social safety nets like homeless shelters

People are thinking about the issue, but HN has decided that it’s not the place to discuss it. It’s like the anti politics rule. Politics is absolutely important but there are other forums to discuss it in.
