You need to be accurate. There's a lefty-rightist, Stanlist conspiracy going on here on HN, and you're at the very centre of it.

On the contrary, I would argue the urge to move beyond conventional language norms is what gave us Shakespeare and his numerous additions to the language. I can taste the zest for life by moving beyond the boundaries of Trumpian idiots. It&

I don't doubt that you are right. I assume it is an Americanism. However, I repeat the n=1. The first time I heard it was from Eric. My point stands.

The first time I heard the phrase 'nothing burger' was from the mouth of Eric Trump. It's possibly time to upgrade your vocabularly. I mean, Eric is a verified idiot and I can't help but think of you as being one by asso

I don't mind AI killing off anything and everything, as long it goes hand in hand with producing the means for those whose jobs are killed off to survive and thrive. I want my warm, sunny hill where I can discuss philosophy if I so cho

No need, I just read the newspapers if I want some of that. I hope ChatGPT is put to better use.

My country is an international embarassment. Someone make it stop. Please.

That's one better than my personal best: 'change the green colour to yellow'.

Not really. You can say the same about about both sides. I prefer buttons and touchscreen. See the ioniq 5 for a good example of this implementation. Tesla seem to be trying to Steve Jobs / iphone the car experience, and I absolutely d

Depends. I recently got a request to 'polish' some work up. The definition involved making a document look 'professional' or 'corporate'. No update to the actual quality and clarity of the information. Complete

OMG sorry this is so relevant ... we've just been dealing with a client with SAP software that is supposed to automate on-boarding suppliers/customers. It takes 2 people client side to hand hold third-parties through the labyrynth

A "colony" on Mars is going to be about as extensive as the ISS for at least 100 years. Or have you bought into Elon's nonsense?

The funny thing is, I work in finance and see these decisions up close. The owners explaining their decisons to me while keeping a straight face. Make no mistake, owners (no matter how progressive, with very few exceptions) will screw you o

BMX'S, taking the bus to school instead of being driven, getting into mischief on weekends, football with neighbours on the streets ... Without RTFA, the headline makes sense ... I mean, look at the state of me (LOL).

Because of the power dynamic. People are suckers for it.

Agreed. That's because of the power dynamic. People are suckers for it. If most of us regularly lie at work or with our partners, we get sacked.

"Because, it's been a tough year. We'll look to implement a bonus scheme next year which will help us keep up with inflation" ... and all that boll@cks. Advice: either be in the 1%, or change jobs regularly enough to con

Yes, especially with this subject matter. Normally I hate, but in this case it works.

For any users, how active is it these days? I dabbled with it many years ago and ... Christ, can it really be 20 years since release?!?!

Decades is the correct context in which to be talking about this.

Good. Back when I believed in Tesla and its owner, this excited me. But the more you look into it, the more you experience it, the more you know about it and its delays, it's clear we'll be lucky to have actual FSD in 10-20 years.

Two RSS threads on HN frontpage today? Great! RSS never went away but I hope it becommes much more prominent again. The last lost decade of walled-garden social has been a relative disaster.

If true ... is that a lie, or the inability to know scientific fact before it's been studied? Applies both to Fukushima and Covid response.

Many people here are talking like the government forced them to evacuate. Perhaps they did. But if your family was there, would you stick around? I'd be getting my family the flying f outta there. Not logically deducing outcomes and ri
