For railroads, just wrong. Can’t speak for the rest, but we still subsidize airlines and the infrastructure to make it possible. As we should. All of the little industrialists and VCs here on HN wouldn’t have a prayer of striking it rich wi

Why not push legislation to make them pay damages for a frivolous lawsuit?

They go hand-in-hand and you should have a problem with the companies. Politicians listen to lobbyists, who are funded by those with the most resources and time, because they’re the ones actively communicating with the politicians. The ones

Wave more money than the GDP of your entire town or region. Let’s stop pretending money doesn’t give a disproportionate amount of influence to a representative government, before things get perpetually violent.

It's little different from the mainframe/mini computer to the PC: Huge servers and resources will be better--no dispute there--but good-enough will be achieved using local resources. There are privacy and general de-centralization

My hot take: The way of the future is local LLMs. The AI equivalent of the PC revolution isn’t quite here yet, but it’s the only way forward.

Patching inherently bad legislation doesn’t solve the problems it’ll cause.

Commercial trucks and logistic-dependent firms like Amazon would have a fit, over losing this entitlement.

From a mile away? Or lets make it 200 meters.

This is the opposite of a steel-man.

What hurts is that these headsets in the right hands and backed by the right company could be so useful. But who in their right minds trusts the people in Meta?

Is this AI generated? The “two things broke” reasons are just so laughably bad in a real world context yet strangely vague.

Private equity (Blackstone in this case). Why am I not surprised? Sleaze through and through.

Disagree. By your framing, might as well add a 4 Gb LLM to grep as an unasked for and downloaded option.

So many pointed jabs.

I kind of agree. Though the old, brutish yet stupid was also likely wrong and more for self-comfort as a species. Tangent and thought experiment: If we could re-engineer a viable population of neanderthals, should we? If we further gave the

Who said anything about “voting away”? It’s a strange blindspot you have where you understand there is clearly some government role to have a free market, yet can’t see that this also means the government can influence—not eliminate, you’re

Not the OP but I get it. We don’t produce anymore. What we do is produce ideas, then sell the idea to a few wealthy groups; which has lead to a very distorted economy. It’s also no secret that “wealth extraction” has been an ongoing best pr

Why does it require it? To what aim does this serve the market? A check against fraud and protection of property rights can be achieved through force and violence and the threat of violence, so that answer seems inadequate. Likewise, supply

I’ll be sure to bring a posse of gunmen to my next negotiation. Every well functioning market has ground rules. We call that laws. And every well-functioning market has enforcer of said ground rules. We call that government. Believing that

A free market is bound by the rules of the market, which is trade agreements and government. Meaning it can be changed and adjusted.

Leadership and management problem, exacerbated by the Chicago school. Good, knowledgable employees are not fungible. The in-house culture that built the engineering takes an entire generation to build. The winner-take-all MBA class of the 1

That’s basically the face of GMOs, so it is an issue for GMOs. GMOs for whatever reason have a terrible ambassador and I haven’t seen evidence to the contrary. For vaccines, a good portion of the population remember vaccines being developed

Don’t even. Unlike vaccines, the patent misbehavior by Monsanto says otherwise about GMO.

I misread. I saw the television portion and thought you meant the televised war was what made it all too real.

The user privacy can’t be overstressed. It and a sane release cycle are what keeps me on Apple.

That argument falls flat, when considering regions like the Ukraine that are fighting for survival today. And when contrasting with earlier times like the Civil War, where a draft was unpopular: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
