China is going to mow us over because we're shooting ourselves in the face. We frankly deserve it. You won't have any jobs in that scenario either.

I am really starting to dislike how half of the Hacker News community are behaving. This depressing miasma of pessimism is taking over, and it's absolute garbage. I don't think many of you like tech as much as you like the current

I'm more excited by open weights models you can't self host and need to spin up on H200s (RunPod or bare metal). This is where the real power lies and is where the open source world will trend. It's far cheaper to spin up an
