One issue with private, for-profit organizations is their major focus is “creating shareholder value”, which is apparently the modern way of saying “making money”. That, along with…

We shall see about how much of nursing can be automated. I do think that the human presence of a nurse (particularly if of the opposite sex to the patient) is helpful. That could s…

I think you’re failing to factor in the rapid improvement in robotics. I was at the hospital a few days ago, and was pondering the numerous nurses who were wheeling around portable…

> we definitely don't have news or straight up video of people who are regular citizens getting killed for no reason by ICE or even non-citizens getting effectively executed withou…

They’re a threat to those fearing deportation or arrest for criminal activity. If you’re not in those categories, you have exactly nothing to worry about. I’m a lot more worried ab…

Good! Illegal aliens shouldn’t get credit from any source. They’re bad risks, especially if they get deported…

You folks are both mentally ill, and extremely misinformed. One might say brainwashed…

You’re misconstruing the situation. Only 10 million subscribers means a vast growth opportunity. I think there’s easily potential for a billion subscribers eventually.

We’ll how that prediction turns out… My informed opinion says that you are wildly wrong. (Also don’t forget the Starlink related military contracts that SpaceX has.)

Starlink is wonderful for many reasons. It allows technical folk to live wherever they’d like as long as they’re working remotely. The mobile applications, particularly in the case…

Since you have such strong (and numerous) opinions… AI is a tool, and one that governments of all stripes will use for many things, including military applications. It’s overly sim…

Pretty funny to be downvoted so heavily. Sadly, it appears the average HN reader is pretty far left and woke. China is NOT your friend. I didn’t even express a preference for or ag…

Nonsense. The sea floor in those areas is soft muck, 20,000 ft or more deep. The waste, likely packaged in torpedo shaped structures made of corrosion proof, high density, high str…

We should all keep in mind that foreign interests, primarily China, are astroturfing to drive resentment in the USA against AI and datacenters. National governments are largely vie…

A much better, safer, and cheaper idea is dropping suitably packaged waste on the subducting side of the Mid Pacific Subduction Zone. It’d be inert long before seeing daylight agai…

>Trucks and guns pose outsized risks to bystanders, and if you don't agree with that, you are either being grossly disingenuous or you're just extremely stupid. In the case of truc…

My impression was that Gossamer has good Rust FFI rather than basic C FFI, sharing struct layout etc. I may play around with Gossamer and see how it really does performance wise… T…

All three points are erased by its ability to call Rust functions… It’s not a bad approach, in that for most general programming one doesn’t need those things. Granted, macros can …

It doesn’t have a garbage collector, it uses reference counting with a cycle detector. So, no GC pauses. It should be suitable for hard real time systems.

Ha, sure, not five years from now what about 10? Many times technological paradigm changes have been quite unexpected.

There are no scary vegans, but the humane harvesting of animals for food has occurred for millions of years. Consuming animal protein is also one of the healthiest things you can d…

Neither trucks nor guns cause a single death. The people using them may cause deaths. It also should be pointed out that in many cases, both large vehicles and guns save lives. The…

No, they lost their state of the art missile and drone factories as well as all of their nuclear facilities. Not to mention their navy and Air Force… I’m pretty sure the “fresh and…

You’re anthropomorphising. Actual AI is like the Terminator. There’s no human feeling, it will do what it’s designed to do. No emotion, no remorse. Cue the swarming drones… :/
