The body language thing really bothers me. Personally, if someone accuses me of lying, but I am actually telling the truth, I immediately start acting like a liar. It's really emba…

I have always thought Satoshi must be dead (as a couple of past suspects are). How could someone not want one hundred BILLION dollars? There is no person alive who could resist tha…

Pardon me, but I think it's rather obvious that it worked this way? The real value of Anthropic is in the models that they spent hundreds of millions training. Anyone can build a f…

How does Brave survive financially?

To add to this: the author is missing a major aspect of the Jevons paradox. They keep referencing "more efficient software developers," but the Jevons paradox isn't only about effi…

The job of "software engineer" as we know it will end. Before the industrial revolution, shoemakers would make shoes. It was a specialized skill, meaning shoes were very expensive,…

This is the best thing I've seen on the internet in a long time. I'm going to bookmark it and check back for more informative content. I hope you tell Naya how much HN is loving it…

Wow, that's great to hear! Excited to see what comes of it.

I've always thought it was Apple who dropped the ball with Siri. When Siri came out in 2011 -- two years before Alexa -- all my coworkers and I had iPhones. I remember sitting in m…
