Precisely this. What a bizarre, whiny article. That they try to crocodile-tear about people who lost children is deplorable. People who lost children never forget, and they don't need this guy plying their strange anti-child screed pre

Toxicity and brigading is the problem. Moral toxicity and brigading, where people think they are doing some good, is even worse. I'm not crying crocodile tears for Adobe. They shouldn't have deleted their post, and ultimately th

This is such an amazingly toxic, selfish attitude that you have. Is this how you really live your life? It wasn't "their customers" that brigaded. It is the clowns who have decided that Bluesky is their own. They are the on

Bluesky currently has the kuro5hin "A Group Is It's Own Worst Enemy" effect going on. People who think they claimed land first believe that they get to define the future of the service for everyone else. It's obnoxious,

Then don't follow or engage with their content? You understand that's your option, right? I actually enjoy Bsky as a replacement for Twitter mostly to keep on top of news (tech and otherwise, the tech often coming from the source)

It won't be deleted, but instead will be flagged so it won't front page. You can still find flagged content on https://news.ycombinator.com/active , which seems like a reasonable compromise. This site shouldn'

It's already egregious when a site adds history pushState entries for just clicking through a gallery or something, but wow adding them just for scrolling down on a page is simply bizarre, especially on a page about usability.

I don't even think the market manipulation argument stands. That gives them too much credit. Trump's hand was forced and he had to retreat. Like the market kept having little bursts before this, based simply on the core reality th

Absolutely nothing was accomplished but the undermining of the US as a stable partner. US treasuries and the US dollar both have taken a colossal hit that is going to reverberate into much greater consequences. It is the hit on TBills tha

It is absolutely not textbook. It is massively self-destructive. In no universe is this a win. This is a retreat by Trump. It's him losing . It makes him look like a joke. Or, more correctly, more like a joke. Trump desperately wa

The overwhelming majority of AI compute is by either the few bigs in their own products, or by third parties that rent out access to compute resources from those same bigs. Extremely few AI companies are buying their own GPU/TPU buildo

Almost always use search-augmented LLMs now, to infinitely better results. Whether I'm wondering about a movie or looking for information on a programming language feature, or even specifics about niche things, an LLM gets me there muc

Which Gemini? I asked 2.5 Pro and this was the result- https://g.co/gemini/share/b5e5ea80548b Seems entirely reasonable to me. Didn't have to trick it into providing citations.

Yes, the people who have repeatedly fired vast numbers of critical people[1] and then begged for them to come back are outrageously incompetent. The people who keep posting laughably wrong values on their "savings", and who are

Given the spectacular , mind-blowing incompetence of almost everything they've done so far, I 100% absolutely believe that they would automatically send out dismissals based upon a sentiment analysis flag.

In every situation like this, always contemplate how the reception would be if the other side did it. Like, we know the "but her emails" thing was the greatest example of bloviated hypocrisy in human history. This government has a

It's pretty sparse with details and could just be speculation, but it sounds like "sentiment analysis at scale". Traditional monitoring would be keywords or manual oversight, the former being ineffective and the latter being

For those who wonder where this fits relative to platforms we are usually more accustomed to, they sell these to banks and financial services that have a long history of mainframes and are basically just upgrading in place within minimal ch

Should is aspirational language, and is not legally binding or even coercing. It's like an encouraged practice. Cookie banners where sites have to say "we're sharing your details with 287 partners" are okay because they

He clearly is an outsider. He seldom has any idea what is going on and seems panicked. Even Lutnick, despite being used in an unending series of cable news soundbites saying incredibly out of touch, stupid thing, clearly is just a bystander

A good initiative, but the "us vs them" framing — where the "them" are other people trying to do a service for people — gives off bad juju. It positions the value proposition by seemingly denigrating other providers of f

Other more rational people have absolutely tried to make it about China. About trying to broach a strategic advantage. Early in the nonsense with Canada, Lutnick and Bessent repeatedly tried to give an offramp by broaching the possibility o

There is zero chance of that happening. None. Zilch. There is no deal to be had here. Trump wanted to impose the largest tax hike in history to pay for massive tax cuts for your plutocrats. Everything else is bullshit . In a couple of mont

While I have no doubt that Vietnam went calling, facing devastating tariffs, the "hat in hand" bit is uproarious. What do you think Vietnam will offer? It has negligible tariffs on US goods. It exports a lot to the US because it h

They aren't pro-tariff, and the dissent will grow. But the GOP is absolutely captured by the Trump cult. Any deviation from conformance with whatever nonsensical thing Trump says today is seen as disloyalty by the cult. Normal checks a

This isn't accurate. He, being a guy quite literally facing prison time if he didn't win, promised untold riches for all Americans if he won. An era of prosperity. That everything would be nothing but greatness from a newly respec

Many American tech leaders helped usher in a Trump presidency in the belief that he could be their strongman protecting them from meddling foreign governments: No more EU levying fines or China making demands, they thought, or else Donald w
