The Internet is a utility and flows like water, so in this analogy, homes should have enough Internet to meet their daily needs, but they don't need so much as to be a factory. For a theoretical household of 4, 8 Mbit is way too low, b

Not if they're using GeForce NOW or any similar service. One person needs 15 Mbit for 720p, never mind a few dozen.

Because the 11% became 97% via the New Deal and government investment, not through market forces. That's not reaching to bring up politics, that's the history of what happened. Rural areas are more expensive to run physical infras

Oh interesting, never heard of that before. So there's a standard TV Unit representing a standard TV, with standardized dimensions from the dawn of the TV, like a horsepower. (Horses generate anywhere between .5 and 1.5 HP, depending o

Absolutely correct, though Google is headquartered in California which does have such a law.

California, where Google is headquartered, has the WARN act, which kicks in in for big layoffs (> 10%), which requires 60 days notice to affected employees. So sign mortgage on Monday, laid off 2 months from Tuesday.

According to who? For those that have successfully retrained from school teachers and shop technicians and into software devs, more than doubling their pay, I think they would consider it quite good. That they're working in the indust

That's a pretty good takedown of my comment, I appreciate the effort that went into that, and, well, you make some fair points, but I went back and reread the post, and stand by my response. To me, Cory Doctorow isn't making any s

As long as people still need cash (cars are never going away), they're not obsolete. If you've moved past cash already (Venmo, Zelle, Swish, etc) then believing they're obsolete is a foregone conclusion. But not everyone&#x27

Who's gonna be the first to wire up ChatGPT's API to a live system? A human copying and pasting is one thing but the playground interface gives a bit more room to work with but the real adventure begins when it can actually affect

I might be being dense, but why not distribute the quantized files?

invite-only discord and slacks serve this purpose, or local email lists. not the most newsworthy but they're out there.

Dang, sitting on a report for 10 years is quite a bit of patience! Makes me think of government archive releases.

User agent "sniffing" (I mean, it's right there. It's not exactly subtle.) has been going on since the before the IE6 days. That it now extends to make things easier for us as command line users is... kinda convenient? A

It actually does bother me when people refer to Xerox as a failed photocopy machine company without acknowledging PARC, but I'm aware I'm in the minority here. I also think The Dream Machine should be required reading in a history

According to the TIOBE index, C++ is the fourth most popular programming language, and has been around for over 35 years, so easily a couple thousand people. The question is how many of them are on HN (probably dozens).

The step between ChatGPT and SupremeCourtJusticeGPT is CustomerServiceRepresentativeGPT hooked up to the company's database. Validating that discount <= 20 and price > X and so on seems entirely doable though.

You didn't address the issue of security. The problem with leaving it up to the projects is that projects won't necessarily respond, and we don't want the foundations of the next Mantis 26M rps botnet to get its start from PU
