Unfortunately this is not what 95% of HN wants to hear, even though its the truth. But you have my upvote.

Because writing a headline with 90% miss in it will get more clicks than actually thinking through business strategy and realistic projections.

That's ridiculous, you think when we were tribes in the jungle mother's didn't have something to do? Gather berries or cook etc? Even 50 years ago it wasn't phones, it was probably…

Without doing a google search - optical fibers factories and pharma factories can deliver higher quality products when built in space. And I bet there are hundreds of other example…

Composer 2.5 worked just as well for me as opus 4.6, and was faster and actually worked better for quick bugfixes and reporting back to support. And is much cheaper. I'm not saying…

If I vibe code an app, and make $1m, and people willingly paid me for it, who am I exploiting? How did I "extract" $1m from a market. Who did I take that away from? I didn't even e…

What if - evolutionarily we just haven't evolved for birth control? What if - given a choice, women just don't want to have 2.1 children on average? No one wants to touch this topi…

I built the very first prototype of petrolprices.com almost exactly 20 years ago I think. One man job, 2 weeks I think and we launched. Nice project :)

I also used it for advice on a massive personal decision, but I specifically asked it to debate with me and persuade me of the other side. I specifically prompted it for things I a…

> There’s no democracy in being mostly beholden to a few companies which own the largest and most powerful models, who can cut you off at any time, jack up the prices to inaccessib…

> shed partisan tendencies and critically review policy initiatives You could take a good will attitude to DOGE then. I think many (including Elon) genuinely believed they could cu…

> Starlink will have competition from Amazon Leo in the next few months Amazon Leo will have 14k satellites in space in a few months? Wow! Amazing!

Yeah, I remember people saying that about making 1m model 3s per year, landing rockets, getting 10k+ satellite privately into orbit, and getting millions of subscribers using inter…

I actually think the public markets have a lot less faith in openai than softbank does. They need these crazy investors. Public markets would not value openai at $1.4trn. So they c…

I remember Elon saying in an interview recently that the only piece of the vertical stack he doesn't own is chips. I strongly suspect some sort of fab built by Elon associated comp…

As far as I know gemini and chatgpt will also create these images, they just won't post them automatically as social media posts.

You know how the NHS reduced waiting lists a few years back? If you had waiting lists of say 100 for a surgery, they basically said - the list is maximum 15 people, after that it's…

age rating is not how I would categorise shows. It’s also extremely hard saying no to certain shows to my kids, and it would be much easier to just not have them there. I’m pretty …

Last time I checked disney plus doesn't have any option to hide specific shows. None. You either let your child watch everything, or nothing. At least netflix allows me to hide cer…

Has he made billions? He's obviously done well but I'm not sure he has been able to capture any value from openai except for publicity, and what else does he have? A few $10m from …

Is it just me or did nutella go from almost solid to much more fluid about 5 years ago? And it got slightly darker? Anybody know what happened? The texture definitely changed.

The answer is fairly obvious, humanity is always more obsessed with potential value than actual value. Elon sells that potential very well, but he does actually follow up in a dece…

So someone needs to make a substack for music basically. That's what we are talking about here. Question is, do people think a certain artist or song is important enough to pay $5/…

Considering the amount of threats and hate jewish people with no connection get about Israel vs Palestine, you don't think there's at least some legitimacy for his position? Consid…
