"Links No Longer Mean Credibility" - did they used to? I mean, I mostly agree with this article but a person could have written this about the internet. I remember people linking to all sorts of random web pages and using that as a source of credibility.

I'm amazed by all the "people hate AI therefore this won't get anywhere". This is a first (perhaps real) attempt to envision what a desktop of the future looks like assuming AI progress continues. If I'm Apple, I'm very concerned about this, because it is the type of thing that will be tough for them to compete with if Google can pull it off. A traditional computer experience may be very different in a few years, and Google may suddenly be the company that can pull this all together...

Really? I see this all the time. Maybe I'm going to all the wrong places. I see "couples" on their phones, I see groups of friends on their phones, etc., etc. Maybe different parts of the country / world?

Yes I’ve had to do this but it does work. Unfortunately it’s a constant cost to have to look for stuff like this and then do the work.

Upvoter33 — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 15:06:31 +0000

Honestly this thread was been one of the funniest HN threads I've seen. So much gold in here - for which I thank you all.

"My React website can't star React"

"in what sense is this software not a virus?"

"GitHub stars are great for measuring the number of GitHub stars a project has"

etc.

All gold.

Pretty dismissive ("when they grow up") of the group of people in the 16-24 year old range. These are not children; most of that group is 18 and over. You imply noise but there is clearly some signal in this result.

Haven't people seen the documentary, "Good Will Hunting"?

I don't think it's as simple as "corps. = bad". It's more that naive slogans like "don't be evil" used to be taken seriously. Companies exist to make money. This is ok! It generally works well in a capitalistic system. But to expect more than that people are realizing is a pipe dream... which is why you need good rules in place (i.e., regulations, laws) to direct companies and their behaviors.

Upvoter33 — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 15:24:10 +0000

We're going to see the same kind of thing we saw with the tobacco industry - CEOs claiming they had no idea the product was engineering to be addictive. I have even less faith that this anyone will hold anybody accountable though.

This part of the article was cringe for me. Like he wanted to impress Mia and once she didn’t react he realized he needed to change jobs.

BG and eBPF are awesome but this article read like a midlife crisis to me.

as usual with Trump supporters: trying to make both sides seem "equal" on election rigging, when one side (in 2020) caused Jan 6 to happen and still won't accept the election results from 2020, whereas a few fringe people (I guess) had some problems with 2024.

Don’t know the cost here but I would fathom it’s not “cloud connected”

Typst is fantastic, I like it a lot (and have used LaTeX for over 30 years). I hope they keep up the great work!
