The government still has to maintain the infrastructure, whilst building more where the people have moved to.

Typing up English language logic into code hasn’t been a job for 40 years. That’s what people mean by this.

Of course, but it is rare.

This is a good take. People overwhelmingly fit a narrative to how they make decisions rather than make decisions according to a chain of reasoning.

Stop projecting. It’s just coding. It’s not every technical profession at all.

I don’t think it’s been common to write non fiction for money for decades. What they are doing is killing off the real motivation to do it, which is recognition and attribution. We…

The didn’t pay for the books. It’s massive copyright infringement. The human buys the books.

I’m not saying software will be unprofitable. I’m saying Ai models will be low margin businesses. I think AI is going to decrease the price of software and allow us to automate thi…

There will always be a space for perforce in a world of git. Doesn’t mean perforce is worth trillions.

I think in the long term AI will be a massive market. I just don’t think it will be massively profitable. The hardware will get better, the models will be even more commoditised. I…

Sure. But I’m just not that fussed about online freedom of speech. World was fine before it and will be fine after it.

I use YouTube, but only watch stuff I SEARCH for or from people I have subscribed to. No watch next BS. If you have self control you can avoid the social media element of it. YouTu…

YouTube is very mixed. Putting short form content on it was a mistake. It’s only not trash if you use it correctly. Watch some videos by some racists, you get fed videos making you…

There is some okay stuff on YouTube. There is nothing stopping people reposting stuff on platforms without social media elements and with proper curation and publisher responsibili…

It’s overwhelmingly supported action. The technical incoherence doesn’t matter. What matters is being able to say “you can’t use Snapchat” and then they say “my friend xxx uses it”…

Nobody needs to use social media though. Really they should just torch the lot.

Sure, is HN social media?

8 years olds shouldn’t be using the internet.
