Here in Australia, the local and state governments push the use of their Apps as well.

These Apps provide access to identity documents, offical notifications, and messages for health, benefits and taxation purposes.

Then there is Banking and the issues around becoming a cashless digital society…

It’s become less about access to hardware devices, as useable devices can often be free when donated by a friend or relative, and more about continuity of access to your digital life.

The risk of losing access to your online identity or having it stolen are very real with often traumatic results for individuals.

I've been using Deepseek v4 with Cline in VS Code as a replacement for Github Copilot, and it's not been too bad.

Modern ethernet supports Auto MDI-X, which manages that automagically for you.

Abrogate their usage.

Things have moved on since the days where GPUs in Macs were a priority.

But then the AI race has changed things. So who knows - maybe we will one day see official eGPU support from Apple and new drivers from nVidia. Wouldn't put on money on it though....

I genuinely don’t think when Chat GPT 3.5 launched, that anyone believed people would integrate the usage of them as quickly and solidly as they have.

So Im with you on this, people use Chat GPT, Claude and so on for anything and everything.

That may not be the case here, and certainly isn't the assumption we can make more generally.

We regularly see regressions in platform security.

I just found out via other news sources, and was surprised I hadn't seen it on HN already.

> Fridman, the podcast’s host, defines AGI as an AI system that’s able to “essentially do your job,” as in start, grow, and run a successful tech company worth more than $1 billion. He then asks Huang when he believes AGI will be real — asking if it’s, say, five, 10, 15, or 20 years away — and Huang responds, “I think it’s now. I think we’ve achieved AGI.”

> But Huang then seemed to slightly walk back his earlier claims, saying, “A lot of people use it for a couple of months and it kind of dies away. Now, the odds of 100,000 of those agents building Nvidia is zero percent.”

So a lot of podcast banter nonsense basically :-/

You have that backwards though! :-)

We'd get to know people in our community, often because they were born in to it, then we'd fit in to productive roles.

The way we do it these days is a recent, post industrial revolution, mode of society.

Wired headphones and earbuds seem to be having a moment as well.

Which would be totally fine with me TBH.

Rather amusingly, invite-only torrent sites might be the only semi-public authentically human hangouts left on the internet!

Be interesting to see the numbers graphed over time.

Funny thing about AI layoffs is the cloud cover it provides to do it. Which I know is not a fresh insight. :-)

In HR speak, if you 'reduce headcount' because you over hired or needed to cut costs, then that's a bad signal to the markets.

If you do it because of AI efficiencies, you are an innovative industry leader and your stock goes up.

Atlassian stock up 2% on the news :-/
