I feel like Meta is successful in spite of Zuckerberg. Every venture they attempt besides advertising seems to fall flat. Buying other companies seems to be the only thing they're good at.

I'm sorry, is that car in the 100X zoom even a real model?

Hackernews mostly survives because it's the Y Combinator sponsored boardwalk over the incessantly sucking carp of tech bro daydreamers hoping for success by osmosis.

Pro tip: Buy the second-to-latest generation. Costs half as much and it was literally the best that even billionaires could have purchased just a year ago.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the AI is using video (i.e. multiple frames) to put together enough information for the zoom to be as accurate as possible. That said, I don't know if there's enough information to do 10

Same. Calendar events, reminders, and timers are the only way anything in my life gets done.

And let's be real, as far as actual work output is concerned, I think there are few jobs in this economy that are better suited to replacement by an AI. If only they made an AI that could schmooze at the country club.

Those poor CEOs. If only they could figure out some way to not take so much equity while their workers suffer wage stagnation...

I'll be honest. Many of us in the US are tired of fighting with people that vote against their own interests time and again. It's like having a family member that keeps letting a burglar in the back door, over and over again. At s

Uh.. I read some of you comments, and frankly, I'm not excited about the prospect of our usernames being mistaken.

Wonder if there are any groups out there tracking a "Democracy Loyalty Rating" (i.e. the opposition)...

Yeah, time travel probably isn't possible, but if it is, limiting the time traveler to only being able to go back to when the machine was invented at least solves the "why haven't we met a time traveler" problem.

Lol if you think these guys give a shit about anything besides being even more rich.

LLMs are the ultimate leetcode solvers because they're stellar at small, atomic, functional bits of code that, importantly, have already been done and written about before. But at this point in time they are terrible about reasoning ab

And God forbid you were an early Google for Domains adopter and have your own Google Workspace account because nothing fucking works right for those poor saps.

> implies that companies have 100x the things to be developed productively, what if that isn't the case? Good point. I think that's demonstrably already a problem. Software products are notoriously prone to enshittification in

Can confirm. Teenagers on e-bikes is easily the number one complaint on suburban Nextdoor right now. It's like catnip for boomers.

Americans still getting what they voted for. Not sure what we're supposed to think about this.

Damn, this hits hard. I used to love coding. Now, I can't even focus enough to make progress on my pet projects. And work stopped being fun a long time ago. I'm using Claude Code to push my development efforts along and it works l

That happens, sure, but try convincing it of something that isn't true. I had a brief but amusing conversation with ChatGPT where I was insisting it was wrong about a technical solution and it would not back down. It kept giving me &qu

This is, in my opinion, the biggest difference. ChatGPT is like a fresh clone that gets woken up every time I need to know some dumb explanation and then it just gets destroyed. A digital version of Moon.

How hard is it to gate the patient entrance to the MRI with a big-ass metal detector turned up to 11? Why is this still a problem?

This is an underrated take. Free markets don't work in information war zones. The basis of the free market ideology is that rational actors with perfect information will result in competition that produces high-value trades. AI based i

What am I missing here? There are a list of piano rolls that have been scanned but you can only download MIDI from before 1929. I mean, I understand copyright and public domain law in the US, but what exactly is the point of a list of thing

> I get paid a fuck load of money to write C. Your point is? My point is there aren't many of you, are there? All things considered, keeping up with the industry trends is generally a more reliable career path.
