I can't wait for this tech to be incorporated into corporate productivity trackers that seem to be getting more popular.

Yeah? Classless, stateless, moneyless societies?

This is why I don't really understand the outrage with Sony getting rid of physical discs. I guess the argument is you can sell you disc later, but at the end of the day, owning a the disc isn't the same as owning an NES cartridge

Right. Calling China "Communist" is the same as calling North Korea "Democratic". It's State Capitalism.

Exactly. The most charitable thing you can call Zuck would be apolitical. Zuck does whats best for Zuck, whether that means funding a hospital in SF (and receiving naming rights), or donating to Trump's inauguration fund. I have a diff

The incredibly smart people aren't the ones running those companies. They're the ones actually creating the products.

Sure, I'll get right on that.

You vote against them when they're up for re-election. If they're not up for re-election, you vote against anyone who allies themselves with said person.

So you only have an issue with Chinese Ai not calling a spade a spade?

Given the nations that have actually bought influence over our government officials, China would be an upgrade. I doubt the president needs another decked out 747 though.

Are the Marxists in the room with you now? Do you need assistance?

I think if you're at the stage where it still makes you nauseous, you're probably not at the point where you would experience any withdrawals.

I can't agree more. Addiction treatment is expensive and out of reach for people who, lets say, aren't part of a political dynasty, and the money we dump into the war on drugs could fund free rehab for people who want to get bette

Yeah, it does matter. I don't know why you think the USA's world super power status is the only thing that matters. People still live here, and will continue to live here despite the USA's relevance.

Yeah, she wrecked it by having the audacity to be a woman, while Patel and Hegseth seem to be "invulnerable" despite being incompetent train wrecks themselves.

I think the way I use AI for software development isn't too different from the way you do. I use it primarily as a research tool. I admit it's making me weaker at sifting through documentation, but I am still writing the bulk of m

The way I look at it is that if I wasn't on HN, I would just assume the entire industry was 100% on board with all of this. There is a more than fair amount of pushback on this forum, which gives me a little bit of hope.

The Republican strategy has moved away from swaying public opinion for a while now. Now their strategy is to manipulate voting maps, intimidate voters and suppress votes in areas likely to vote against them. The Iran war is unpopular, but t

If you look back to what he has been able to get away with, and still get re-elected, I'd say he is.

Wow. It's like you're trying not to get it.

Great. They are learning good security culture. That will be useful later in life when every move they make will be surveilled.

It makes me happy hearing that Meta has been relegated to sloppy seconds.

Yeah seriously. Thanks for ruining everything I love.

There were WMDs in Iraq too right?

Programmers should learn ASM, or at least have a surface level knowledge of it, the same way electrical engineers should know how a vacuum tube works.

I have this mindset too. I use LLMs too, but strictly as a helper. nothing goes in my code that I don't understand, or that doesn't follow the style of the rest of the project. It's a great research tool, although I can alrea
