Carbon tax, plastic bag tax, etc. are from the learnings from economic externalities that is applied to climate policy. Other non climate externalities based policies are sugar tax, alcohol/cigarette/drug tax, education, healthcare, etc.

Competitive in what sense? In training LLMs? Then they would be below Korea then UAE models.

Not HN, but from my experience of over a decade, it's certainly US culture to criticise without expertise.

There are no European models that come close. It's Korean models, then a UAE model K2, then Mistral.

New comment by techsystems in "Schools Never Taught Critical Thinking: AI Exposed the Lie"

Just out of curiosity, is 'critical thinking' a thing in other languages also? I'm a native speaker for two other languages and learned a couple more, but it's never mentioned or is an issue in other languages. I feel it's just a way to call other people stupid, but the reader isn't, creating another chasm or us vs. them.

Yes it does, but you probably need a bit of context.

They already have free Wi-Fi in every bus stop, train stations, government buildings, etc. like clocks, thermometers, air quality sensors, etc. The free Wi-Fi is very high quality, where you can watch 4K videos without stutters in most places (1080p for other places).

This is more about basics instead of luxurious/entertainment purposes, where if they run out of data on their contracts, the companies must provide data, albeit slow, still, where government provided Wi-Fi can't reach. 400 kbps is good enough for AI text streams, so it's a policy blend for their recently trending slew of AI policies.

I should also mention that it's a compromise from the telecom companies for recent incidents.

Just out of curiosity, what would be the difference between what you write and what AI writes?

But we have to reroute power from life support because auxiliary systems are down!

Ask HN: Everybody and their dog is building an agentic CLI. Any command bins?

techsystems — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:19:02 +0000

I just want to do something along the lines of

`agent.bin --init task.log` # logs all of my inputs and the agent's outputs

`agent.bin --set-rag rag.md` # optional if already set in config

`agent.bin --set-system-prompt system.md` # optional if already set in config

`agent.bin 'Build a single-page hero website for me'` # could also be --prompt

Then finally finishes with an ASCII art of a 'Task Finished' card with summary.

What's a good one? Is there a good one?

Looks like Tesla is buying a lot from LG. Last year, it was for mobility/EV, now for the grid. I wonder if this Michigan facility will use precision robot arms like they have in Korea or there will be more manual labour.

After reading that post about how HN is for human conversations, it really made me curious what people think.

Interesting stuff! Korean 3 is different than what I remember. My version is a bit purer of a tongue twister.

들에 콩깍지 깐 콩깍지 안깐 콩깍지

Grew up in a trilingual family, learned a couple more, definitely the hardest tongue twister, by far.
