What is your point about electricity? Enron was cooking their books by controlling other companies they said they had no control of to improve their own financial health. I think there questions for the commitments your talking about but th

How? Two very different things but because we don’t like AI we make bad comparisons?

Just wrong. It’s a superficial comparison at best. Enron was cooking books using entities they controlled but making it look like they did not. You could make an argument that maybe this is similar to oracle (I think?) in the com bubble fin

They don’t want that association and it’s definitely not a boatload of PR. This Skyrim mod works because it’s hilarious sounding.

Life is always changing. HN has gotten more popular over the years and at least it feels materially different in comment quality. Bots are always a problem but that’s not why you see different things on the front page, that might be your no

> Hmm, yeah, good and condense version of what my previous comment said. I'm much impressed by your reading ability. 10month old account with 20k karma. Low value rubbish postings as a professional user. Sad.

The front page is a reflection of what folks want to see. AI is certainly mentioned a lot but it’s also top of mind for every industry atm. I still see a lot of diversity in posts though. After all this is a VC forum for startups.

These become such silly arguments. Why are you arguing against autonomous vehicles in America? Your examples on a base general case are not applicable and while I agree there are areas where things can be improved, for most American cities

I did a poor job with my example. My point is that your example is just a cherry picked anecdote from an extremely small country that has the luxury of a handful of dense cities and a large number of smaller towns that sit on the couple of

They also always hand wave the last mile problem. Last time this came up some folks were adamant that you could solve public transit and specifically last mile in a city like Dallas. I welcome the car overlords like Waymo or related compani

Good for your country but also your country is quite small. I think a better analog is taking a trip from Zurich to Madrid. You could do it via train but it is probably going to be filled with lots of transfers and take 20 hours or you coul

Next couple of decades? No way the scale/sprawl for most US cities already exists, 20 years is not changing a thing.

You’re extrapolating on something that is false. Consumer hardware never caught up to asic.

But it is. In America if you tell someone they are going to need to walk home for 15 minutes they will in the base case opt to take their car. This type of convo has come up in a number of different ways on HN and folks just hand wave away

And when folks are given that option or driving they will always take driving.

Hyperbole if I have ever read it. Lots of other products released I don’t think the highlight was the iPhone 18.

I am still missing the point sorry. Infection risk from parasites is quite low via ingestion and even lower via skin. It’s quite low of a risk for ground vegetables and it’s why you want to rinse everything off to begin with. Non-zero but h

Go back and correct your idea that consumer hardware made asics obsolete. Then we can figure out if asic or asic like devices for inference will have no advantage.

This is factually wrong no? Bitcoin is asic only. The others all changed for other reasons unrelated to your thought.

I live in a city too but don’t share the same problem as you in my yard! Sorry about that!

Yea that is why most departments have sensible policy allowing the camera to be turned off for informants or tipsters who don’t want to be on camera. That’s how most of the camera policies are run. Always on for calls with special exception

From being barefoot? I think it’s pretty low on the risk list. There is absolutely an animal hookworm but it does not have the some risk as human hookworm. Sure if you eat the poop in your backyard you might get something so that is always

Sounds like a great self-selection problem.

I love them because while not perfect it’s a good way to filter out businesses that don’t have good taste.

Thanks for sharing! I had missed some of the updates on unions since I looked.

Are you walking on human feces a lot? Hook work was a problem because of a huge lack of sanitary conditions. Less about being barefoot. Would I walk around barefoot in my yard? Absolutely.

To add. It was not that long ago that most police unions were resisting the implementation on the grounds of collective bargaining. This was 15 years ago so I guess sentiment could have changed but I would be shocked with how often you see

Interesting. I for one wish cameras rolled constantly in cars and on body. I would think it should improve outcomes for everyone abiding by the law. I just don’t know in the US how much local police appreciate wearing them. I go back to the

That’s not snarky. I am asking for evidence based on the original comment that police like wearing comments. My own anecdotes differ but they are of course anecdotes. Asking for citations is neither snarky nor worth of posting a rules link.
