That's some nice guillotine energy going on here on this unflagged topic. You surprise me, HN.

If you delay your iPhone upgrade because of RAM prices, you're not going to buy two at once because you were delayed. So push, forward, push forward, sure, but to a point.

If we end up with metric tons of unused HBM memory lying around, I'm sure that someone will design a general purpose computer using them, or design a HBM-to-DDR interface.

Silver lining: can you imagine how dirt cheap RAM will be after that bubble has popped? Oh my...

This comment raises an interesting question: Would Serenity OS have brought Andreas the same kind of serenity had it been developed with AI? Open candid question.

Your reasoning is sound, but is already covered by Collapse OS' manifesto. It refers to two stages of collapse, Collapse OS being for the second. As long as we have working modern machines, self-contained modern open source OSes, NetBS

We truly are in the age of incompetence. Isn't Apple supposed to have budgets big enough to hire the brightest minds of the world? And this is all they can come up with? Then the emperor has no clothes and they're a bunch of overp

If we want to make that distinction, then we should also acknowledge that "vibecoding" is a misnomer and should be called "vibeprogramming", because it delegates the whole act of programming to the LLM, leaving you with

And yet, the only reasonable action to take is to flag this topic and move along with the "humanity has always found a way out, technology will save us. Remember, we were supposed to drown in horse manure!" Why? Because candidly l

Oh my, this is a slap in the face for me too. For me, GTA is the first one. The other ones (III and following) are GTA with 3D and a story line slapped on top. I must have a dislike for 3D because I've tried again the original GTA a fe

20k years ago, humans hadn't invented agriculture. Our whole civilization has existed in one particular geological time, an exceptional one. There is absolutely no indication that it's flexible enough to be transposed in another,

It's such a weird take. You have a project, it costs X to make. Either it's worth it or it's not worth it. Some tool might bring the cost down, but the breakdown is the same. If X is too high, don't do the project. If th

Native americans were initially pretty YIMBY and that ended up very well for them. In any sane world, being open and welcoming is a pretty rad posture to have. But in a capitalist world? Naive and stupid.

I asked the LLM whether my program was correct and it answered: you're absolutely right!

Every accusation, an admission The process is so blunt, so blatant, it's surprising that it works. I'm guessing it's the result of years and years of lessening the american people so that they can roll over in the most undi

It must be some kind of a joke. If it's not, well, it's interesting that they feel the vibe strong enough in their disfavor to come to the conclusion that they need this kind of event. I guess it's an indication that this vib

This is not flagged of course, because it has everything to do with Tech and Capitalism, and it encourages curiosity. It's not at all reddit-worthy. I'm so glad that HN has all these vigilante flaggers constantly on the lookout to

I'm not the one who made the "it's crashing now" claim and I do agree that from a certain point of view , it might be seen as a stretch. However, what I'm claiming is that "all time high" is also quite a

All time high if denominated in USD. YoY, stocks have been increasing in value as fast as USD is losing to CHF. Regardless of whether gold and silver jumps are a pump and dump, stocks, in "real" value, are at most flat.

Whatever Trump's strategy is, it's not for the benefit of the US, but of some group, the same one who got all the insider trading hints on this roller coaster. But today's USD decline? Brutal. It almost makes me want to say,

Is your AI faulty? Did you bother asking it for a sentiment analysis of the comments here before drawing your conclusions? That's not what the comments here are saying.

It seems like quite a qualitative jump in consensus. Wasn't the previous consensus "you're using it wrong"?

Well, CHF gained 12% on USD YoY, so I guess that it ends up being much better yields than US treasuries.
