Then you can’t see what you’re doing. It’ll run with the HDMI unplugged but at that point you’re undoing a core reason for using it to begin with.

If the tech enables certain behaviors then it can’t be casually divorced from a discussion of how people use it. “Tech” isn’t inherently neutral. It’s made by people with intent for a purpose and how else it can be used must also be conside

Seriously I don’t even understand how this is a debate. If it’s your tool, you are liable for what happens with it.

Same complaint. The 1080p cap when mirroring is annoying and when it acts like a third screen it becomes a real nuisance.

They’re firing a gun in a room of people and going “wow isn’t it wild what a gun will do if we let it do its thing?”

I like jetkvm a lot but the splitter with the dual USB-c’s is really, really finicky and will say it’s not connected for seemingly no reason. They don’t even send you all the cables you need (which I’m sorry, but jetkvm team if you’re readi

And yet it has primarily been a negative so far with terrible stewards, so forgive me for not being so optimistic.

Portraits are not an artistic medium in the same sense, they’re something one creates with the tools of a particular medium. Painting is a medium, photography is a medium, both are capable of producing portraits. An LLM can produce a portra

Or be honest about what’s happening and interrogate both?

This is an often repeated statement online (like “fiduciary duty”) that way over emphasizes the risk. Parody media poses absolutely no risk to their trademark, not even a tiny bit of incremental “damage.” Companies don’t need to be bullie

This would be valid if we didn’t live in under capitalism, which reduces the way we spend our time down to dollars and cents.

It’s not a parallel. No one ever claimed photography to be the same as painting or some other medium - it was a new medium that wasn’t respected. AI is being treated and pushed as a replacement for every medium.

Perhaps I could’ve softened my comment but I don’t think it warranted this response. Why don’t you explain your initial comment instead of just being needlessly rude to somebody?

Private autonomous vehicles are the pinnacle of entitlement. It is one of the single least efficient forms of transportation we could possibly come up with. It is such a perfect example of the public bearing the cost of private gains. I am

Why on earth would I pick something someone made with no intention - because they didn’t actually make anything just described and crossed their fingers - over something made by a real that actually expresses something meaningful and person

A whole idea of a fleet of self driving cars for all of us to use just to further isolate ourselves and clog up our roads is just awful to me.

Do we really need to have this debate again? About how the quality of the “what” is the issue?

They are the ones who set the market so that’s on them. They are the ones who set what people were willing to tolerate. If it’s not sustainable, then it’s not a good business. They aren’t entitled to existing. Armchair theories on paramoun

That may be the case but they are getting so aggressive that I am constantly having to reconfirm devices within my own home. Luckily I just run my own server now but we have HBO for free with my cell plan so that’s the ones subscription we

See this is the rub for me: we only like to “move fast and break things” in this country when there are promises of a lucrative IPO. I’m not saying we need to blitz, but it’s amazing how we always have to exercise extreme caution when talki

I’m actually familiar with the 31% statistic and a very important wrinkle to that figure is it includes people on disabilities, retired, unemployed but want to be employed, etc. so we really can’t say “1/3rd of Americans live an ok to

I didn’t answer the first time you asked because it strikes me as somewhat unproductive and frankly whenever people ask questions like this it’s usually bait, but I’ll assume good faith here. I am not an expert on this subject, I am not pro

That’s a fair point I considered including but it’s easy to get lost in the weeds here so I opted for an overly simplistic description. Ultimately what I am trying to say is the household income now required for many is too high and often u

We managed to have a society with a significant number of families living on one income for quite some time. 2 incomes shouldn’t be a requirement to keep a roof over a family’s head. The goal shouldn’t be “2 incomes,” it should be “1 income

I imagine they don’t reject it though. Inconvenient, should be one click, but I also get it on some level even if that’s not how I’d handle it.

A friendly suggestion: make fewer points in a comment. This is just too much to address at once. I have tried to respond twice now and I just can’t even begin wading through all this, it’s overwhelming

You can email dang and co and they’ll delete your HN account (maybe even remove your posts? Might be making that up?) they just prefer folks not IIRC.
