The problem with certain intellectual pursuits is that it becomes its own little sub culture with its own little sub culture celebrities.

You see, High School never ended. Things can still get lame in the “real world”. The “geeks” need to shut up and go back to the geek table and be more humble. The whole lot of us have demonstrated limited ability on how to be decent.

To quote Rick James:

”They should have never given you developers money. Fuck your Ping Pong table, fuck. Your. Ping. Pong. Table!”

Anyone have some quick recommendations, looking for a secondary backup phone.

Posted.

Getting to the top page is already a systemic flaw that originated from the genesis of this place. The original sin is that the people that run this place have a priority to promote “something” first and foremost.

Getting “to the front page” is a whole other ethical issue, but we have no oversight over the watchmen.

Just trust. So trust requires trust , how much of this place is a giant advertising campaign?

So, are you suggesting we should not misunderstand “just business” as “glorious human achievement”?

The same crowd comes out because in every human generation, a young boy will have seen the advances of human technology and ambition, and will have also seen the sheer scale of our curious contraptions by the time they are an old man. That’s why you get the same “revelation” generation after generation.

Some people truly grow up.

Yeah totally. Ideally, I’d like it if we feed the kids that need the food, educate them, and have them build the rocket and have them take the glory of that achievement (the glory being we as a society uplifted ourselves, literally … to the moon).

Right now it feels like the privileged are being sent to the moon. Many babies and young adults are on battlefields right now.

But thank you for reminding me how important it is for the child to see something magical.

The truth is definitely quite deep.

Well. You are getting down voted but here I am in later stages in life watching this Moon launch, and unlike other times in past, I didn’t feel any inspiration.

Honestly, it’s a waste of money. That’s my final answer, there’s kids that need food. I am no longer inspired by this stuff.

I’ve seen enough advanced technology for many lifetimes, we need something else as a species (more of that humanity thing).

Can we solve for x and y? All I see is algebra here, is my intuition wrong?

You have to be uneducated to even read an “AI is bubble article”. Anyone working this stuff knows how much more compute we need.

HN is no longer a reliable place for the truth. Quite frankly, unless you are utterly self educated, you are terribly vulnerable to this place.

At this rate, I’d almost prefer to talk on a private mailing list with vetted resumes.

Um.

The websites are jam packed with trackers and ads. I am utterly concerned about Chrome’s memory usage because it’s passively allowing this all to occur.

How about you let me blacklist sites that are using too much memory automatically, all that means is that those website owners FUCKING HATE THE REST OF US.

Any solution to this epic fucking problem would be wonderful.

It’s done being built and they need fewer or cheaper people to maintain it.

Apple will probably deliver the best unified AI experience for productivity. Digging into Microsoft’s domain (which has been seriously selling off). Your workers will want iOS and right now its perfect timing to sell LLM subs. This is a very aggressive and opportunistic move.

Just get off as many of these platform as you can. That’s about the only security that you’ll ever get. If you are still in the Matrix, listen the weirdos on here that take “don’t trust anything” seriously to the point of absurdity.

The Matrix was not fiction. Our modern internet is a system. You have to figure out how to live truly free from it, because it absolutely owns you.

Revelation 13:16–17

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…”

Ask HN: How many of you are profiting with LLM wrapper apps?

Well, one thing I'll say is... If for whatever reason we have an electrical issue, or just general chip scarcity, then all programmers with experience will be the ones that can bail out society. Just saying. Especially because kids today won't really learn coding. Its a FAFA situation. Stay sharp!
