Don’t forget the SEARS catalogue

Just think of all the good NGOs have done

I do all those things freely, and that offsets your carefulness. But I don’t/won’t have kids, so I’m not even a drop in the bucket.

Why would it be too late?

Well the good reason, ostensibly, is that web versions develop a small user base and are not profitable. Just a few years ago on Show HN it was a daily occurrence that somebody wou…

Those are all valid areas crying out for improvement. But that’s not what HN hates about X… any comment about the platform gets angry blindly political replies. Whereas other platf…

Every once in a while (not every year) there are minor earthquakes you can feel in some parts of SK, like Busan: the ground tremors a bit, some shelves wobble... that's the most I'…

They would until you showed them the jagged edges. Like those short videos of the guy asking the model to count up to 100, for example, where it politely agrees but never actually …

I wish I could just go forward to the world after AI has fulfilled 5% of its promise and everybody is much healthier and single-handedly capable of creating as much value as 1000-p…

Medical progress basically stopped toward the end of the 20th century. We can now treat breast cancer and leukemia? What a low bar. We’ve got sci-fi cellphones and 1980s medicine.
