Good. Plastics are one of those technologies that have been maligned incorrectly and now we cannot be reasonable about it. We are not even looking at e.g removing plastics from the ocean, because that would force us to come to terms with th

The industrial revolution took something like 98% of jobs and farms and just disappeared them. Could you a priori in 1800 have predicted the existence of graphics artists? Street sweepers? People who drive school buses? The whole infrastruc

The problem is that it leaves nothing for those who cannot afford to pay for the full cost of therapy.

That is probably still good advice for most companies. Joe's roof fixing business may be the best roof fixing business in 3 states, but would you want them to run their own server for their website, email, and booking? Anyone who is on

If HN had been around in 1997, would you have considered it odd if 13 out of 30 submissions were about the internet? AI, even if hated here, is the newest tech and the fastest growing one. It would be extremely weird if it didn't show

That is an extreme claim, what is your source for this?

iPhones comes to mind - except for a small group, most people no longer care. They used to stand in lines for the midnight release. But the granddaddy for your question would be the Polio vax.

Thats not at all what he said. All countries pay for their militaries. Russia invaded Ukraine and is actively comitting genocide. There is a difference.

My credit card company will reject the transfer, and the company won't create the stickers in the first place.

I am not sure I see most of this as a problem. For an agent you would want to write some longer instructions than just "book me an aniversery dinner with my wife". You would want to write a couple paragraphs outlining what you wer

Based on the live stream, so does OpenAI. But of course humans makes a multitude of mistakes too.

There are strangers I would like to talk to. It is just that most strangers are not someone I would like to talk to - if I wanted to talk to somebody I could just remove my airpods. This isn't part of the social conditioning, it is bec

The part about the airpods is something that is going to change very soon: now that they are officially approved as hearing aids, asking someone to remove them, or even creating the expectation that one does will get you into Ada territory.

Most of them were so shit in the first place. Click bait and listicle upon listicle.

You are just not listening to the right places. fly.pieter.com made a fortune while he live vide coded it on Twitter. One made making a modern multiplayer game. Or Michael Luo, who got a legal notice after making a much cheaper app that did

You can get any old thinkpad, remove the WiFi module and then you have the full choice of any writing app you want to use.

Thats exactly why I think it is such a good idea.

Tv tropes seems an undervalued platform for "finding media that engages with a specific idea", however the downside is that once it starts to get used for that purpose, someone will learn how to use it to push their content and th

In your particular group yes. I haven't really heard much about it (some, but not much). This isn't an attack on you - just a further point towards a split world. Something can be huge with one group and barely heard about elsewhe

The market for MCP servers is the same as the market for rest endpoints: its a delivery mechanism for the underlying service. I don't think you can make money on them, they are too simple to clone, but you can make money charging for t

Your comment is extremely interesting but it leaves me with so many questions. For example, Where does one get one's posture checked? I'm 100% serious is this something a doctor can do? Second, if we assume my posture is terrible

No. If we end up missing one or more paycheques we will look for another job. If we do lose our home we will be ideal renters. Not that that will happen because we will find another job before this.

We actually don’t. Just make discharging in bankruptcy easier and the problem will solve itself.
