I would say the same thing about stories purely about AI company stock price changes, but I imagine that is a losing battle here.

I disagreed with that as well. There is no technical content in a finance publication playing the price change horserace.

Bitcoin price stories should no longer be considered on topic for HN.

It drags on a bit and is rather verbose, which is what made me notice it was AI-assisted.

While the article is mostly about cryptocurrency, my response is in re: > But what do you do if you already live under tyranny? The rule of law is a great defense, but cryptography alone can't bring about the rule of law. What is th

The hypothesis that companies today need to really focus so they can make money ignores the fact that, in fact, most or the major AI companies are not making money relative to their costs.

There is also old-fashioned marketing. Go find your audience to be heard.

Public pressure campaigns work on companies, and this situation is thanks to Google.

It is the "instead of arguing about seatbelts, we should stop driving cars" argument.

Chrome is a great demonstration of my point here.

Fighting within the system is accepting the system.

Building a tool that tries (and probably fails) to remove the watermark (due to the arms race that large corporate machines will win) is tacitly accepting the barcode. The hacker ethos should be, first and foremost, to run open source mod

Ignoring that a watermark removal tool does not help with this threat model, the claim is still true: the original image can not be changed, and instead a copy is created.

This article has no references to back up its claims, some of which seem like a stretch without further evidence (e.g., "The Cheshire Cat is a property without a carrier" being a critique of group theory). Are there references tha

Generally I just don't appreciate when someone jumps from "I care about this" to "everyone cares about this for obvious reasons." Focus on what something means to you, and being sincere about it. But that is just my

I will say that the latency of the filesystem is a different problem. Most of the google filesystem tooling is not built for command line tools that expect to index large subsets of the filesystem at once.

I have a (Google-issued) desktop in the same city I live in, so the latency is not so bad.

Nothing asshole-ish about the grandparent comment, but everything asshole-ish about yours. Tone it down.

I agree, but I don't think the author of this blog post is coming from that perspective, and markdown renderers of the sort described in the post tend to do pretty poorly with math typesetting.

I have written multiple books entirely in LaTeX edited with neovim. So... your point is not taken.

I am very opinionated, but I really don't like Cider V. I have been using neovim at Google since 2017 and it's been great.

The bottleneck is probably validating and deploying the fix, which requires coordination.
