It's actually incredible how much headlines there are regarding OpenAI--how much cap they're raising, the ins and outs of their corporate structure, how much that psychopath will be compensated--yet very little on what they've actually shipped.

Climate change is real but its effects are overblown. Weeping for a glacier that would of melted a few years later regardless of public opinion seems insufficient

S3 is complicated on purpose so github jannies and lawyers have something to do.

This looks sick! Thanks for building this!

unreasonably based. there's almost no other take than this, and if there is one, it must address this.

The quintessential "your favorite artist's favorite artist" type-guy.

One of his newer tunes, which is dedicated to his late parents, is an absolute ripper [1].

Long live Aphex Twin.

Watching WFH tech evangelists being sincerely stunned that GloboTechInc fired them over email (gasp) is not just ironic, but should be instructive.

What did you guys think would happen?

That the company who hired you to build a surveillance monopoly on the internet was going to look out for your best interests?

On a long enough timeline, many SWEs will engineer their job out of existence. Those left over will have to compete with the mythical 10x engineer and the latest AGI shitbot that can debug code all day long without ever having to take a bathroom break, or maternity leave.

To those affected: don’t capitulate to, or engage with the pity machine. It’s all cope. Those jobs, that headcount, is never coming back.

Take your skills and go build something you actually have true equity in.

Godspeed code monkey.

The "move fast and break things" crowd cries foul when they happen to be the thing that gets broke.

Funny how that works.

The only way to offset carbon emissions at this stage is that a lot of people will have to die, bringing demand and consumption down dramatically.

A war, famine, or general economic collapse (or all of the above) on a very large scale would technically solve this.

This is what I believe policy makers and corporations think, and of course, none of them are saying that quiet part out loud.

After all the Dershowitz country club drama, and more recently, the drama with Supreme Court justices being harassed in public, this will be the norm.

These people are destined to a life of solitude, and almost all of them deserve it.

> Is there anything wrong with breaking laws that entrench local monopolies.

Yeah, there is. Even if there's a point somewhere in there (there's not), Uber is not qualified to make those judgement calls.

Save the greater good bullshit for the company picnic.

The Uber propanaganda is always insane on HN.

TLDR; Their parents are proud of them, let's not fuck that up for them.

What people are afraid to say is that the United States arguably has a bad enough rap sheet as China, but still, even with its shortcomings, it's still not China.

And yes, China bad.
