This is all a trickle down effect of energy policies fyi.

Instead of blaming the energy supply restrictions those states have imposed, the politicians are now blaming datacenters.

99.9% of all mass in the solar system is the Sun, a giant nuclear reactor. No one should ever accept energy conservation.

This is great news for gaming. Xbox, which has ruined Halo, Gears of War, Mass Effect, and countless other IPs, needs to be burnt to the ground.

Private enterprise is vastly more competitive than public institutions in every single facet of society. Defund all public science funding so we can have another 50 SpaceXs.

The current advancement of technology and warfare has opened up fascinating opportunities for powerful nations (USA). For example, given the extremely sophisticated targeting capacities of Palantir, how out of realm would taking out the entire Castro family be? I'm not talking about the morality, but simply the military options now available to the President.

If highly targeted/tailored LLM ads on free accounts aren’t good enough for HN, are any ads acceptable?

Let’s be reasonable.

What percent of iphone users would take a sleeker, slimmer phone over a replaceable battery?

New comment by EcommerceFlow in "Sam Altman may control our future – can he be trusted?"

EcommerceFlow — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 13:37:47 +0000

Like I said, as it currently stands the evidence is 5,000 with Sam and like 5-15 against him (from the article).

We can theorize on motivations all day, but since the hitpiece didn't bother contacting any 'pro Sam' employees, it's a moot point.

Yet when he was fired, 99% of OpenAi employees backed him and were ready to resign. That actual event/evidence is more telling than any hit piece article.

New comment by EcommerceFlow in "Solar and batteries can power the world"

EcommerceFlow — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 15:39:31 +0000

Disappointed the article doesn't transmission of electricity and how little the loss is. People are quite surprised that it's like 3.5% per 1000 km.

We could just build out huge solar farms in AZ and transmit it accordingly. We did it for railroads, why not here?

New comment by EcommerceFlow in "Austin’s surge of new housing construction drove down rents"

EcommerceFlow — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 04:33:55 +0000

Why do people accept that supply/demand works in so many industries when the private market is allowed to flourish, but won't accept it for healthcare, education, etc?

Same thing has been happening with sports bets for years, this particular point (threats) isn't unique to political betting.

You can't really gauge 'tone' via text, I was just referring to the mission success reality on the President's side.

EcommerceFlow — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 15:19:31 +0000

This isn't a military decision but more a public opinion one. Should an American ship take a hit, have casualties, become disabled, etc it would put immense pressure on the administration to settle/end the war, even though on a military objective level it makes a lot of sense. This is a reality of the instant informational world we live in.

I didn't compare to that level, just had it create a plan first then implemented it.

Anecdotal, but it 1 shot fixed a UI bug that neither Opus 4.5/Codex 5.2-high could fix.
