    Is anyone else entirely unimpressed / bored with this? It's just AI mimicking reddit... I really don't see the big deal or technical innovations, if any.

    I don't understand, doesn't the market solve these issues? Here's what I figure would happen: 1. App creators will pass the extra cost over to the iPhone users. 2. Android (and oth…

    "I've noticed" was my wording - communicating my claim and opinion. I will make claims and opinions on a message forum, thank you very much. Unless you want to pull up a specific m…

    LLMs have already proven themselves to be economically valuable. At a bare minimum, they can help people develop most low-mid level software considerably faster, at a good enough q…

    Ok but can we get into the nuts and bolts of what we actually want these robots to do? Because every time I think of something, either an existing industrial setup can or will do i…

    The hardware is great and can definitely scale. That's why as a caveat I think teleoperation is a good general purpose application cluster for these. But I really struggle to come …

    Ask HN: Does anyone else think that humanoid robots is a bubble?

    In particular, I mean the research and intelligence vision these companies have been pushing for doing general and specialized physical labor. I'm completely open to the possibilit…

    Meta comment - what a weird comment to downvote. I am expressing curiosity in good faith after reading the article, with a fairly logical follow up. What is the point of commenting…

    Interesting indeed. Does such a finding suggest any worthwhile easy-to-try 'treatments' that may help alleviate symptoms? I don't know much about the biochemistry here, I assume th…

    No, "AI" is software, and software is a tool, and tools aren't people that should pay taxes. You wouldn't charge your CNC Machine taxes for the productive labor it produces that co…

    Costco doesn't seem to be like a monopoly, broadly speaking they compete with many grocery stores and bulk food outlets. That being said they often have solid inventory, and the sa…

    They seem decent enough. I barely play games these days, so I don't fully understand the value they add. Just seems like a convenient app store that lets me port my collection acro…

    Ask HN: Are there any business monopolies that you like?

    It seems a common pattern that a business gets big enough, dominate through network effects and/or regulations and high barriers to entry, and then their services and customer supp…

    I loved Pebble back in the day, and Eric is a great guy and friend to entrepreneurs trying to build cool things. I do wonder how a modern revival of Pebble will compete from a prod…

    OK but surely it can do this given your instructional prompting. I get they have a default behavior, which perhaps isn't your (or my) preference.

    Ask HN: What's holding back industrial robot automation in America?

    It surprised me to learn that 'China's industrial robotics market holds approximately 40% of the global market share and accounted for 54% of all new industrial robot installations…

    People comparing this to GPT-2 is very interesting. While it sounds like a nice analogy or even a good story to investors, the fundamentals are very different. To train GPT, all of…

    That's fine, but for future reference, robotic arms should have their specs listed and quantified - stuff like reach, payload, repeatability. If I'm a researcher, how do I know if …

    That's a cool little robot, and I see the appeal, definitely as an educational toy. I don't think the fidelity is there for real autonomous research. But the bigger issue imo is th…
