Exactly this. I know HN is obviously a very pro tech, pro science demographic, but I can't believe there's so little opposition to having our coasts littered with wind turbines. I …

This makes the assumption that humans are needed to drive these AI assisted workflows. I don't think that's going to be the case at all. The majority of office jobs are comprised o…

Elysium is playing out right before our eyes

1. Social media accounts with lots of engagement and high follower counts are worth big money these days. However, it takes a ton of effort to build that up organically. It's not d…

Some spaces just can't be "disrupted."

This was my first thought when I saw "travelers going between countries." You're going to have a problem getting carriers to sign up because they are assuming all of the risk. Unfo…

Genuinely curious what the [morally] good use cases for Sora would be.

From a technical standpoint, this is pretty cool. From a human standpoint, this feels so unbelievably dystopian.

Thanks! Just grabbed one.

By time I got signed in, I missed the early adopter spots. Any chance you could open up a couple more?

I think the evil part is putting it in the hands of the general public. The ability to create propaganda and deep fakes gives everyone a powerful tool for manipulation. The rich an…

You can set that globally but override at the individual entry.

It's been able to run on A series chips for a while. I don't think that's what's preventing MacOS on iPad. It's that the OS is not optimized for touch in any way. Too many small th…

Don't forget about the facial recognition any time you go through a toll booth

Mass unemployment would/will be the catalyst to mass uprising. All of the fuel is in place (ICE, Epstein, rising costs of everything, unaffordable housing, general lack of hope and…

If you could write drivers in javascript, it probably would have done just fine /s

I'm a senior engineer and have no degree. I never get offended by people making comments like this. If we're both in similar roles, making quality contributions, and are progressin…

Seems like everything is a hot button topic these days. Even things like movies get connected to a hot button in one way or another.

Couldn't agree more. Squash merges to main ONLY. That way, I don't care if your branch contains 100 commits or 1 commit. I don't need to worry about commit messages like: - fix 1 -…

Captcha is only effective at annoying legitimate users. If there is any incentive to do so, bots have no problem bypassing/solving them.

Memorizing CLI commands and typing/editing them over and over can be very time consuming. Use k9s for example. Let's say you want to determine where the value of an environment var…

Also sends everything you type to Google. Depends on whether you care about that or not.

I see what you're saying but I have to push back. "If one thing I need is going to be down, everything might as well be down." If I have a product with 5 dependencies and one of th…

The problem is creating a single point of failure. There's no doubt a VM in AWS is exponentially more redundant than my VM running on a couple of Intel NUCs in my closet. The diffe…
