The Dutch have a brilliant app for this which works nationwide - Afvalwijzer (Waste guide). Complete with notifications when you want them and automatic updates when pickup are cha…

America may be become a gerontocracy but it’s far more likely to be a plutocracy first and that will cause more long term harm. Old people die eventually, but the ultra rich keep i…

I find it very interesting to read blogs like this which describe and predict the societal impact of AI. However, this impact is all framed in terms of developers. In the end this …

Exactly. This is a design choice and there’s no right or wrong here.

Is it possible this is vapour marketing and no projects are actually being selected? Perhaps someone from a project who has heard back can respond here?

It’s great this debate is happening. The people on hn are some of those that can make a real impact here. There are many parallels with the industrial revolution here but we really…

I disagree. No one will want to use second rate models when the frontier models reach a specific level of capability. Enterprise will keep paying.

Considering the economic angle, one possible long term future is that access to frontier models is only realistic for the wealthiest 1% They will use this access to the ultra intel…

I’m sorry but I’m not buying this argument. This problem was solved in 2005 with search engines.

You’re quite correct and we are likely going to stumble into this future despite all the very big brains working on these technologies (including people on hn). “It is difficult to…

The credit card companies really missed the boat here to become the standard for consumer to consumer payments. Of course, from their perspective, they know that people would not a…

I am reaching for “reader mode” in my browsers all the time as they cut through these design choices that don’t agree within my eyes It really helps to focus in the content rather …

It would have been a success if they just called it ipv5.

That’s not true. The true capture price of nuclear is much higher https://green-giraffe.com/publication/blog-post/what-capture...

What a great resource. On a related note, while I love the content here on hn, the message threading is far from optimal. I know there are many alternate interfaces, can anyone rec…

To repeat what’s been said before, the only way the large AI vendors can get a return on their huge investment is to eat the entire economy ($20/month won’t cut it). All informatio…

This article got me curious as I used Flickr years ago. Sadly couldn’t even move past the cookie banner at all. Too bad

Subscribers will not enable these companies to make their money back. The only way is for them to eat the economy itself

Is this just for fun or is there some underlying purpose to those type of attack? Is it possible to have any certainty when answering that question?

Love the tuning tips about cutting out the highs and only the rhythm pickup

I would argue that they are as bad as each other. I have to repeat most voice commands to Siri and Alexa than getting it right first time. No experience with Google.

Yep. The key difference is that a gas power plant can be cut off completely at any time. For example if a trigger happy leader decided to cause military mayhem in an unpredictable …

Super interesting but what does this mean for us mere mortals?

Exactly. Just another “study” finding a correlation without causation.
