That’s what you get for sharing the most precious IP you own to a company that incriminates the relatives of customers.

People care, but there needs to be balance between environmentalism and social mobility. The “haves” are the ones telling everyone else to continue being “have nots”. Current environmentalist attitudes are becoming religious and self righte

A lot of people in that sub say they are part of the layoffs. Maybe they just laid off everyone that goes to that REI subreddit.

How is it any less bad for someone else who didn’t build the thing to decide what is done with it?

Exactly my thoughts. This design is going to trigger my PTSD.

So weird. So now a non-fast food entry level job needs to compete with a $20/hr fast food job? It’d be interesting to hear what economists think about how this arbitrary incentive will influence workers.

It’s amazing how crude our agriculture system is. We’re so focused on serving ads, automating cars, creating virtual worlds, building bombs… but we can’t create a meal without hurting animals or the earth. Even a planet full of vegetarians

This is how the world worked before the internet. Your high school science teacher would directly teach you things they also learned in a lab in college.

We need to start trusting people we know again. Not institutions or celebrities on pedestals. We need to trust our family and friends and community again.

We got lazy with the internet age. We’re going to have to go back to basic principles again. That means if you didn’t see it with your own eyes, it’s not real. If someone didn’t tell you in person, then they didn’t tell you. Maybe this won’

Accurate clocks in data centers predates Google. Telecom needed accurate clocks for their time sliced fiber infrastructure. Same for cellular infrastructure.

Because money. Climate policy requires you to spend more of it and get less in return. Explain that to businesses and poor people.

It did for a while but fell out of favor. Couch doesn’t have any current major endorsements and many companies that used it have moved onto better solutions. Couchbase had most of the momentum and it turned into a different product.

Looks cool. It’d be nice if you could output the FSM to some kind of diagram markup (plantuml or mermaidjs).

HN isn’t Reddit. I like HN moderation. I come here for the more niche HN discussions. Reddit is much larger than HN and attracts people from a very wide spectrum. A handful of moderators don’t always do the best job at that scale. Especiall

I think the more horrific ideas of a ”hunter” isn’t really any more different than what a human soldier is capable of. What an automated solution can do better though is enforce rules of engagement and restrict war crimes. Computers do exac

What do you think is going to happen with AI in war that is so deplorable? When I think of AI in warfare, I think about how to strategize against an enemy. Like how to deploy troops and resources in the most efficient way possible. Or how t
