I agree with you on that. I wouldn't personally eat meat but I don't have a problem with someone eating meat if they are sure where it came from and the animal lived a good life (u…

Sure, but the cold reality is that 99% of meat consumption in the US is from factory farms, not from animals roaming freely on grass. It's not like these animals are all roaming fr…

Saving a human over an animal in a one-off emergency doesn't justify breeding and killing billions of animals for taste every single day, those aren't the same situation. And if yo…

>> that's actually an advice. Please don't hurt the plants and their emotions. Keep on eating dirt Thank you Sajith Dilshan

Absurd example, dig at my kids, no counterargument. That's the online equivalent of conceding the argument. Nice one.

Plants don't feel pain as pain is generally understood. They don't have neural circuits, nociceptors, or brains. We have all those things. Cats, cows, and pigs have all those thing…

It's not about being alive, it's about having emotions and the ability to feel pain. Plants don't cry out for days when their children are taken away from them. Plants don't rememb…

The problem is, you have to choose. Do you really think people can continue to eat meat 2-3 times a day, purely supplied by family farms where animals are able to roam free? The re…

Effectively. Europe and the UK do, but there isn't much easily accessible left and besides they aren't in the EU. Netherlands has had to close their gas fields. Germany still mines…

Yeah, plus the ethical angle. It's a bit ridiculous that we have people researching the 'theoretical ethical treatment of LLMs' when we are doing such awful things to animals on a …

Sorry but this is just such an ignorant comment. You really need to read up on how agriculture contributes to global warming and loss of land/deforestation. What do you think cows …

The continent is literally on fire due to global warming. Europe does not produce any fossil fuels and needs energy independence. It's because politicians dragged their feet for so…

>> high-impact npm accounts are now put into a read-only mode for 72 hours when they change their email or use a 2FA recovery code. This delay allows maintainers time to respond an…

Great. Honestly I couldn't care less. I'm not a robot. Every job after my first has been due to friendships formed (by being a human) in previous jobs.

If I were so terrified I couldn't share anything personal at work, I would be happy to be fired as it sounds like a miserable place to work

True, I see so many posts along the lines of 'I am a quasi programming god with no time on my hands (apart from time wasted here) so I will gladly pay $10,000 a month to Anthropic …

Feel the same about HN :)

If the US bans them, I really hope the EU doesn't follow (don't have high hopes)

Warning: the bike may start to unexpectedly veer to the Far Right

That's the whole point though, no? Enterprises have a totally different mindset and are not willing to overlook hiccups. So they haven't found PMF with their long-term target audie…

Yeah, they raise a massive round on traction from other YC companies then need to find the real Product Market Fit (enterprise and others) after that round. It's actually very inef…

Bad look for Jonny Ive

Do you really believe those policies after stories like this?

Just ban the discovery feed. Search only.

The self-mythologising is strong with this one...
