Early 90's were more fun. I modified DOS command.com file to change the outputs it prints, drilled holes into laptop to attach broken hinges, break electronic garbage to salvage wires and interesting things, disassemble disk drives, ..

Great points. Thank you. I realized (just after posting) that the wound part is not well-defined. Any abrupt change could be seen as a wound. But we need to define "progress" as species. Grasslands, trees and dolphins seem to have

Birth of a serious change (and leadership) always requires questioning of status quo and probably a bit of rowdy, jungle instincts.

It may not be that hard to see where this is all going. At least with some precision. Think of global arms race, or industrialization. Humans and this planet did not need any of that. Planet did not need it, because when you look at these c

In a practical, work-world of humans, the org hierarchies do matter and impact the way these humans interact with each other. Maybe not for bots.

The problem, I guess, with these methods is, they consider human intelligence as something detached from human biology. I think this is incorrect. Everything that goes in the human mind is firmly rooted in the biological state of that human

This idealistic objective is highly commendable, but the fight could be futile. As you would need AI to do the work of detection. Then there will be another movement to do "organic detection" of "organic content". And th

Actually, you can try seeking out your own brutally honest opinion about your own idea. Act like a stingy investor or a totally down-to-earth common man. You should quickly write down the terse half-line questions that your real childish in

I was talking about "runtime" work. At runtime, the tasks I mentioned above, don't use AI to get work done. Coding ofcourse, falls under probabilistic task, as I mentioned.

Monopolistic online platforms such as amazon, youtube, netflix arise due to quantum nature of the internet. Lack of spatial location. lack of time duration, lack of distance, instant multiplicity with identical copies are all quantum things

I'm a farmer myself. I was talking about farmers in some third world countries. They are extremely marginalized and suffered for decades and centuries. They still do.

Really cool. Reminds me of farmers of some third world countries. Completely ignored by government, exploited by commission brokers, farmers now use all sorts of tricks, including coloring and faking their farm produce, without regard for h

There are a few serious issues with this kind of "passion" in a work area outside of yours. * PR reviews for your commits may not be honest, as people may hesitate to reject your code changes. * You may not have time for your actu

So I guess the author is trying to help a decision maker to make a decision when faced with a question of whether to use SQL or not. But in reality that question would be settled by other factors and contextual reasons rather than the argum

Got it. Nice work and great write-up! Teaches a few things.

What's up with the dates? The HN page shown in the screenshot is from 18-05-2025 around 1pm GMT, while the curl commands show a date of 09-05-2025. The story sounded like it was a single journey from EDI to HKG via LHR.

There are two kinds of computing - precision computing and probabilistic computing. For example, cryptography falls into precision computing. There is no room for being incorrect even by a single bit. Where as machine learning is about gett

At least there is a check done by humans in a human way. What if this human check is removed in future, as AI decisions would be deemed no longer requiring a human inspection?

To be honest, I find any dynamic or interactive changes to technical diagrams as distracting. For me the benefit of pouring more info via dynamic popups or animations is lost due to lack of static info that can scanned back and forth while

Same difference with social media too. I thought Twitter was for micro-blogging, LinkedIn for career-networking, Instagram for pictures, and youtube for video-sharing etc. Now everything boiled down to just a feed of pictures, videos and te

Have you ever heard of obesity and variety of diseases that are mostly specific to some countries and their life style? If not you should travel to some third world countries. This is only to show you that your government is the biggest sta

You have left out the elephant in the room - the government controlling the food choice, healthcare, medicines, and overall a lifestyle. You don't have as much freedom as you would like to think.

Yes, when the mind is over-confident of it's education and perceptions, it starts to disobey the signals from body and force the body to follow what mind says. That's when the mind loses the support of knowledge encoded in the bod

Undoing of the effects of excessive and unnecessary social guidance takes ages. At some point through the times of civilizations, humans started having less work to do and more idle people around. The idle people started spending their time
