Better now than ZIRP for me - at least people are asking timid questions about the unit economics and how long the runway is _early_ while also spending absolutely insane amounts of money on this bet. During ZIRP, these companies would have

Why did you let me send you a message? That’s what came up when I hit this page.

For me curation was better but I was really missing the ability to quickly seed a playlist with a specific vibe and build from there for specific moods. That, and the desktop app and confusion between library and Apple Music streaming was a

Same. AI is a hugely powerful tool, but I’m sick of having to treat a human’s AI-based verbatim reply as a real thing. Anybody that does this is going to be calmly corrected as much as possible, and if the behavior doesn’t change then somet

I think you can get to "easier" if you have the a) budget to hire the people that are good enough and b) the time and discipline to create the abstractions so it gets easier over time. Most shops will not have that kind of time an

This approach works well, and leads to better code being shipped. The key disconnect for me is not always the code being of high quality, but ensuring my understanding of the "Why" of the bug and the fix is good enough to justify

This looks really good in that Blue color when the light is just right. Otherwise, I think this car has a lot of excellent new tech in a package that just won't get the motor(s) firing for most people - especially at a 650K price point

I don’t know that people think their jobs will go away because AI will be better. I think most understand that their jobs are going away because we will need fewer engineers to build the software their companies currently need. Now - huge o

I’m assuming you are European? Do you get the impression that the EU parliament is a body that is respected across Europe as competent and able to enforce laws reliably and properly? It can’t even keep the bloc together. I’m not skeptical o

Where are the fines for the tech companies breaking the law? I’ll look on my end as well, but if they’re not being fined more than they’re making by breaking the law your data is still going to leave your vehicle.

Where are you finding engineers at 100K/yr all-in? Also how many of them will be as good at coding as the models you deploy on the rack? Also you need both now. It’s not enough to just have humans, and that OpEx needs to come from some

I don’t understand. This seems like some version of NextDoor / neighborhood watch but for companies and larger interests in the Seattle area that might have their own security apparatus. Why are folks jumping to some conclusions that t

These are all just bets that eventually someone wins anyway, right? Adoption is good but marginal revenue doesn’t matter if and when these models and solving world hunger - or have created the next yakuza mega corp that governs the world -

This is very much trying to create a consensus around what being human means and why it’s valuable in an age where it will be easy to dismiss the intrinsic value of a human. Probably a bit more important than a marketing stunt.

Sure, and Volkswagen’s diesel cars are totally clean and pass emissions tests as written. Your trust in the law (EU law! Haha) to do the enforcing itself is nice, but history and lived experience tell me that these laws are going to be skir

Yes. Or, more succinctly - they are likely following the law but have figured out a way to avoid it as written using consumer opt-in and dark patterns. You call it FUD, but this is hacker news and with overwhelming incentives it is not unre

Just spitballing here but I think the financial system’s already set up for this. Whatever derivative structures and equity and options need to exist will be easily created. I don’t think we need any additional motivation or incentives to c

This is not a comment on gun rights, but, IF you are having issues with suicide and depression I would absolutely remove those weapons from your house and access. Talk to a friend you trust. Have them stored. Something. Having them nearby i

What on earth is the "industrial complex" part about this? Outside of pharma pushing pills I'm not sure what other profit-seeking, recursive elements exist in the "suicide prevention industry". Legitimately curious

Disconnection, lack of community / opportunity / hope and social media are all major societal issues that (in my opinion) are not going to be solved by any sort of single government or charity. Making progress on that takes shifti

Having an option to talk to someone when you're alone and having trouble getting out of your own head is a great option. If you don't know what to do and you only see death as the option, having someone give you options seems like

Americans will need to hold the executive accountable here. Tough to trust, I know. RE Dresden - trickier with an actual, declared war. We’re also still waiting for some Germans to get put in jail. Not sure WWII is a productive example here

Why would I want purpose-built hardware built by a company looking to lock me in, rather than hardware that does whatever I want?

I think you’re giving Trump too much credit. If he starts firing shots again the war is illegal. The 60 day window is over. He has no appropriated money to fight the war, no public support, and no way out. There is no chess game here. It’s
