Also, if you are in a place not divided by roads and have a critical mass of kids who can find each other, they are suddenly a lot less work. They tend to find each other and keep each other amused. I suspect many modern parents may have ne

Puzzle for HN though, surely as interest rates go UP, the business case for investing in your own hardware is WORSE? So you would expect the current trend to be to IN to cloud, right? Unless you're sitting on talent to turn data center

There is a large market for useless security work from companies that need to demonstrate that some kind of security activity has taken place but don't particularly care about security as an "end". In these situations everyo

Newton was a complex person and I think this is an overly reductive take on both his life and study of alchemy.

Run of the mill hn contrarian post but: I think this op-ed is premature, China has a number of structural advantages wrt. AI and some fairly obvious use-cases that justify enormous investment and large scale deployment. It's no harder

Agree, low ROI on theft, at least until we run into a supervillain who is short on cash and needs thousands of powerful hub motors and batteries.

The flip side of "quality first" / stop the line is getting killed in market by a worse but faster or cheaper solution. You are locked in game theory with your regulators (if you have any) and your competitors. It's disa

I think it's still an issue if you're running your own AI on your own devices. Major use cases of such AIs will involve processing API responses and messages sent to the user. A prompt injection / bypass in this context could

I think this glosses over the downsides of sharing a kernel. There are lots of edge cases where containers can interfere with each other by consuming kernel resources or causing contention in certain kernel code paths. So you can run a db o

Euthanasia is much more common than usually admitted. If someone is dying of cancer in age care, they're in great pain, in out of consciousness etc, it is quite common for an overdose of morphine to be delivered by a nurse once family

I think public trust has been eroded by overconfident statements made by authorities, plus the occasional noble lie. I wish that public health communication had been more congruent with what was actually known, something like: "This is

One take is that what Apple want to do is increase the value of tracking and targeting offered by Apple and decrease the value of everyone else's. Still a net win.

One somewhat divergent opinion I read once (wish I could find the article again) expressed the idea that in the modern world, governments are free-riding on parents. The costs (time, money) of raising children are significantly privatised b

I think it's organisational incentives, not tech per se. TL:DR; Brand risk, and the FAANGs are not as hungry. Google and MSFT are wary of deploying tech that gets caught saying super racist or nazi stuff (MSFT have been badly burned be

Because control systems are only sometimes a good replacement for human relationships (even formal / limited ones, such as you find at work). There are natural scaling limits around this. If you think about what a "manager-less&qu

I think the difference is that when you have lots of duplication (of systems, departments, job functions, processes, etc) like after an acquisition, there is very tempting low hanging fruit there for a CEO in a cost cutting frame of mind. I

The situations are different enough that people today couldn't and shouldn't expect the same kind of government and I don't think it's worth nitpicking the details because they're not germane to the central idea. Pe

Not promising determinism gives them a lot more implementation wiggle room to update / change things. My guess is that promising it right now is not a priority. It would be a great "pro" or "enterprise" type feature

It gets worse in huge orgs, each team tends to have its own protocols. To talk with "foreign" team, you have to figure out if they are teams / meeting driven, slack driven, use webex, only reachable via email, have their own

Like the flashing 12s time on a microwave, there's often a ui indicator that the tv is "not set up correctly". This severely vexes people with OCD, who want their TV set up "correctly" and maybe to receive updates,
