Yes, it's extremely sinophobic and entirely too dismissive of China. It's pretty clear what the author's political leanings are, by what they mention and by what they do not.

I think people in their 20s find it easier to make group identities, and being in a group that tends to be disadvantaged is a uniting force. This is true whether or not you actually have ADHD, which is a problem for sure.

And it's not necessarily a bad thing. I should think adaptive roles would be a benefit, not a hazard. At my company we simply list "software engineer, all levels" in our postings.

Teslas require constant maintenance (like all cars, plus the recalls) and many have a subscription, it's not performative. Each Tesla owner is an asset to them post-sale.

If we can get drilling tech improved, we could drill far deeper and geothermal would be viable anywhere on the planet.

Yes, it would. Any site offering moderation capabilities of any kind would be open to legal attack. That is enough to make it infeasible for any smaller site to have moderation, unless they're big tech of course (which is why they&#x27

You mean moderation. People are freaking out because they were banned from places for saying awful shit. Removing section 230 removes the right to moderation, which would kill the internet as we know it. It would become like cable internet.

Similar laws are being written elsewhere, Section 230 may not last the next few years. It's not just the UK.

And because it's not economical and there hasn't been sufficient government subsidies as of yet to mine them. The barrier is quite high, and it's not clear if tariffs are enough.

Feels more and more like we're at the end of an era when it comes to the internet.

Do these people even have a plan? Privatization of essential research isn't viable, by definition it cannot be justified using profit motive. That's why the government funds research in the first place. And failing to fund it, som

Neither of those deposits are being extracted in large enough scale yet to make a dent in the near-monopoly China has.

He's sorry about the backlash his lack of decorum caused, not the contents of the rant. > I completely respect people that don't want to go to the office all five days a week. I mean, clearly not.

The title is misleading. The people who resigned were former USDS employees, not people brought in by Musk.

Seems to be a play to out-compete Google. It seems slower though. I don't like the sources UI either, it's much harder to use (and should be more up-front)

I would focus on getting a marketing site out, starting a legal business, do the basic foundations of a payment pipeline. Then and only then make a pitch deck and reach out to angel investors. They would probably offer you the most valuabl

I love it when statistical modelling is used for research like this. I think we're underestimating the impact research simulations will have on science, especially when they get cheaper and easier to build. Exciting stuff!

This furthers an idea I've had recently that we (and the media) are focusing too much on creating value by making more ever more complex LLMs, and instead we are vastly underestimating creative applications of current generation AI.

The title of this article seems out of touch with reality. This entire article is a thoughtless fluff-piece that reads more like an advertisement. It's not fit for HN.

Not mentioned at all is the failure rate, which back in May was reported by Ars to be 85% with the first patient, Noland. [1] [1] https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/05/neuralink-to-implant...

I think people are reading too much into the title—it's meant to be taken literally. It should also be obvious if you know anything about history; it's basically saying that we have always been a globalized civilization and our su

Zuckerberg provided no evidence that the fact checking program actually failed. Fact checkers obviously have their own biases, their program was designed to highlight that and allow for multiple sources. Too much content being fact checked

I would give it a try again, it's quite different in only two short weeks. Also, find feeds to subscribe to on places like reddit (r/webdev had a thread IIRC)
