New comment by MotoriX in "Cartographers of North Korea (2019)"

MotoriX — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 11:39:57 +0000

It's so strange that in the age of the internet, we still can't find out how North Koreans live directly from them. It's crazy, but at the same time, it's so fascinating.

New comment by MotoriX in "Ask HN: Are there things more important than 'humanity', such as empathy?"

MotoriX — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 11:24:44 +0000

In the movie Ex Machina, the android does have empathy, but it acts entirely in its own self-interest. So you're right, a human's interests and well-being should come first.

New comment by MotoriX in "Ask HN: Is the Steam Machine worth $1049?"

MotoriX — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 12:28:51 +0000

This thing is for true Steam fans. Otherwise, I don't really see the point...

AI is a great tool, but you still need to know how to do things yourself to avoid mistakes.

New comment by MotoriX in "LeCun has "zero concerns" about AI wiping out humanity, recent "rogue" incidents"

MotoriX — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 10:29:52 +0000

Everything is poison, and everything is medicine. It’s all about the dose. This fits perfectly here.

New comment by MotoriX in "Ask HN: What are you reading to your kids?"

MotoriX — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 09:47:20 +0000

I`dont have kids yet, but when i do, I`ll definitely read Jules Verne to them. He was my favorite author when i was kid.

A 100-year-old data bug propagated through the entire knowledge base because nobody bothered to add a test.

New comment by MotoriX in "How to Freelance Now?"

MotoriX — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 12:59:25 +0000

At this point, networking might be more valuable than any freelance platform. A personal recommendation is much harder for a bot to compete with.

New comment by MotoriX in "AI companies in race to demonstrate their model most threatening to humanity"

MotoriX — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 12:37:45 +0000

At this point, AI companies are basically competing over who can destroy humanity first. What a time to be alive.

New comment by MotoriX in "Owed a billion dollars in Nvidia stock"

MotoriX — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 12:10:19 +0000

That has to be one of the most painful “I should have checked the paperwork” stories ever. Imagine discovering 30 years later that your forgotten NVIDIA shares could have been worth a billion dollars.

New comment by MotoriX in "Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energy"

MotoriX — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 15:49:06 +0000

Yeah, good for them. The main thing is to follow proper safety procedures and keep improving them. Other than that, nuclear power is a great source of energy.

New comment by MotoriX in "Ask HN: Dead Internet"

MotoriX — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 15:31:29 +0000

As long as it’s not some kind of scam, I don’t really mind. Let them make money if they can. In life, you should double-check any information anyway, especially when it comes from people you barely know.

New comment by MotoriX in "VSCode's SSH Agent Is Bananas (2025)"

MotoriX — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 15:11:43 +0000

I always assumed VSCode Remote SSH was basically just SSH with some extra tooling. Turns out it’s a whole different beast.

New comment by MotoriX in "NASA’s Mars Sample Return mission is dead"

MotoriX — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 09:05:50 +0000

We can send robots to Mars and drill rocks out of the ground, but apparently bringing those rocks home is where the budget breaks.

Well, now AI is taking rabbits' jobs too. What have we come to...

New comment by MotoriX in "Ask HN: Is it impossible to disable Siri on macOS 27?"

MotoriX — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 08:06:30 +0000

Personally, I think Apple should have gotten rid of Siri a long time ago. It's a pretty useless assistant. They'd be better off integrating Gemini or ChatGPT instead.

New comment by MotoriX in "I don't like passkeys"

MotoriX — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 14:46:28 +0000

I feel like we're solving one security problem while creating another. Passkeys make phishing much harder, but putting so much trust in Apple, Google or a password manager for account recovery creates a pretty significant single point of failure.

New comment by MotoriX in "Ask HN: How to recover Google auth after phone stolen?"

MotoriX — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 14:19:51 +0000

Try blocking the phone first, then recover your number, and only after that try recovering the account. Or, if you have any backup verification methods through email or something like that, use those.

New comment by MotoriX in "US confirms for first time it has deployed space weapons"

MotoriX — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 13:40:58 +0000

If they’re showing us this weapon, it probably means it’s already outdated...

New comment by MotoriX in "Tell HN: iOS 27 does not allow Apple Intelligence to be disabled"

MotoriX — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 13:26:34 +0000

Removing a single master switch and making users disable everything one by one sounds like a pretty pointless change. What was wrong with just letting people turn it all off?
