Bom dia meu vizinho. I understand that you disliked my comment. I live in Portugal, and I have lived in France and US as well. I’m sorry to say that people trashing stuff in nature is far worse here than these other countries. You don’t see

It’s hard to predict what these jobs would even look like in a few decades. If computers become more ubiquitous and work can be achieved with natural language, with better screen technology, maybe holograms, more presence in the physical en

PT used to be very energy dependent due to not having much local fossil fuel. They had to import most of it. Simultaneously, they have a lot of sun, a lot of wind, and the tide. Also turns out it’s warm so they don’t need all that much pow

Meanwhile many Portuguese cars are 25+ years old and a portion of them have black exhaust fumes that stink from a 100 meters. As in: proper black smoke coming out of the exhaust as it drives. I don’t know if there are SMOG tests, and if the

A follow up question I have is why create a company if you think you’re gonna have no to little revenue? Why not just wait until you actually make money to register? Adding a business entity before having any cash flow will probably only ma

I agree with some things and slightly disagree with others. Mainly, I do believe peace to be a worthwhile and ultimately accessible pursuit for each and everyone of us, both internally and collectively. But learning to exist in it surely co

If your definition of perfect is an AI that is programmed not to upset you, then sure. But maybe there is perfection in the imperfection of humans and the pain that inevitably arises from human relationships? We learn how to love through ou

I sincerely hope that you and anyone working on these AÍ personal relationships embark on a deep inquiry into the nature of humanity, and consciousness. Instead of pretending we don’t know what it is. Please research it, please read philoso

Something obvious I didn't understand at first: the earlier stage you are, the smarter the people you need. They need to be autonomous, flexible, but above all brilliant at what they do. If you get "average" employees who jus

The fact that these outages are so visible and perturb so many people is ample evidence for just how reliant we’ve already become on GPT. If it was just a fun gadget, nobody would care or notice.

It’s not just “over there,” I believe the numbers are similar if not worse in many Asian countries, and only slightly lower in Europe. Teenagers don’t typically need to survive. Half of it is probably throughout the day at school, in class,

That’s already what’s going on when Alexa/Siri offer standardized SDKs for app publishers to plug their API into the assistants. The problem is kind of chicken and egg however where many companies don’t want to bother creating these co

This is the dream of "ubiquitous" computing that Silicon Valley has been aiming at for two decades. Computing so easy it's almost invisible. You just say what you want to happen and it happens nearly instantly. The biggest pr

This should be fixed now. The HN traffic was way above the rate limit allowed by our data provider API. Hence the downtime in our AJAX requests and the reason why you didn't see any hotels loading up. It may still be on and off at the

Would be good for them to implement some kind of P2P fallback. As in: if cloudflare is down, npm can go and query some kind of IPFS version. After all, many of these packages are most likely already hosted by thousands if not millions of ot

For sure. But what do you think of the possibility that many people who are suffering from financial inequality may actually have quite a bit of free time? That's my sense at least looking at global screen time statistics not only in t

Yes, and also: if anything, technology enables more than ever anyone to build anything. There may be discrimination if you need to rely on external help (investors, etc), but there are many very successful bootstrapped tech startups. You do

Solving a problem is harvesting money when it’s well done. It’s when they stop solving new problems that they have to optimize their existing revenue streams at the cost of user satisfaction.

This marks the moment Google officially decided it didn’t know how to innovate any longer, and that it’s time to grab all they can to increase the bottom line. Most technology companies follow this same cycle. When they’re in the innovation

For sure. In indigenous circles, the perception is often that science’s approach to psychedelics is quite ill-fitted because it seeks to separate the molecules from the non-physical essence of the medicines. What is called “set and setting”

Yes. You often also have to pay for parking in many places. The price you see online is rarely what you pay for. But that's part of the culture, it's the same for restaurants, online purchases etc.

This is what I did about 7-8 years ago on flights when I was still a reckless teenager. Would just wait for people to buy the plan, then spoof their Mac address. There was also a specific airline, although I can't remember which one,
