>How can that be anywhere near financially sustainable. It's not and it's indeed a very sad statement on public transport. My father has spent some time in his retirement Uber-ing …

It'd be interesting to see how HN from 2023 would react to this statement.

I miss the short era of glitchy dream-like AI images. I wish we'd never moved into real-ish, uncanny valley era.

>if something is important enough for you to know, it will reach you eventually anyway Through a friend or family member who's been watching the news?

It's the difference between allowing something and encouraging something.

We could say the same for the first factory-made clothes. Not as nice as the hand-tailored ones, looking a bit "off" when people wear them compared to custom-made, but orders of ma…

>but you cannot even inspect the instructions those agents are working off of? It makes more sense when you realize they don't want developers to be doing any coding at all. That's…

They should refrain from using AI if it turns more people off to their ideas than it turns people on to them. There's no need to invent "AI police" as a big baddie here. A strategy…

I got a month-long Eurail pass in the mid 2000s. It was a great experience for me. Only a few places I chose/needed to buy a ticket. I don't know if it's still a good value, though…

You mean you haven't installed screens to the inside of your eyelids so you can micro-read whenever you blink? Amateur hour...

>The Joint Chiefs know this. Any thoughts on why they presented the operational plan to the President as an option then?

I'd call him more of a catalyst than a mere symptom.

It would really just save everyone a lot of time if we just said "branch" instead of "race". We all branched off from some shared ancestors somewhere back in the mists of time. We'…

Possibly, but I can't imagine a writer taking that kind of chance at the height of the Cold War just for verisimilitude.

I think state-of-the-art AI is going to be defense industry only from now on. We can have our toy drones but not the Predators and Reapers.

I think the author of the website should next work on some kind of alerting system for the owners of these webcams to let them know they're exposed and how to make them private. Th…

I don't think it needs research the person developing just has to care what the website looks like. A lot of people just want functionality. But there are also pre-made front-end s…

Hmm... Didn't he try to pack the Supreme Court?

I think Anthropic could manage

He seems to be a good coder with poor judgment. But I think it would be wiser to manage him better than to fire him so long as he recognizes what he did was wrong. I'm a bit of a s…

> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. https://news.ycombinator.com…

Yeah for a side project I just switched over to DS4 and between Pro and Flash a few days ago I've spent $1.96 both for code work and some large LLM text processing tasks. It feels …

It sounds like an ad-hoc rent strike. Not a great sign for an economy.

I think they mean playing different instruments not other instances of the same instrument. A tuba's interface differs from a violin's, etc.
