In the modern discourse and context, 99 times out of 100, indeed they are, and indeed it should be.

Because... the post is about Kagi? > And $10 is about 1% of your monthly income in your example numbers, meaning it's perfectly fine also for somebody making $10 000 per year. What on Earth? Ok I'll bite. $70 is about 1% of med

We’re talking median annual income of $10,000. I could forgive someone getting paid that not wanting to spend that $10 on an internet search engine instead of food.

Safety in the context of a nuclear reactor concerns human lives. “Safety” in the context of LLMs concerns not offending certain individuals.

As opposed to future prejudices? I agree: the trials are not speedy enough. None of us will live long enough to take advantage of the endgame version of this.

I'm not convinced it existed before - not to the extent where it actually harmed people. But you know what will harm people for certain and a lot ? "Ending H-1B ASAP". So why end it (let alone make it worse by making H-1B wo

So erase that worry for them of having to go back to their home countries instead of doing the opposite and kicking them out? Extend the unemployment grace period from 60 days to a year. Make travel easier. Make it so that companies can&#x2

Also, why shouldn't those companies be forced to compete with US wages? Do only Americans get to have nice things and a strong purchasing power?

Do you think the European workers were in the right? Is the solution to kick out (let alone slaughter) the Chinese, or is it to make them less exploitable by companies?

by ycombinator_acc 4mo ago
I don't care about "every international company" or any company. Kicking out immigrants is cruel to people .

Now, with the $100K fee which has turned H-1B workers into indentured servants, they could and will be used for that, sure. But prior to the EO, they had the freedom to leave the country and reenter whenever they'd like to, so long as

Or it’s a way for the less fortunate (geographically) to seek a better future. They more or less got rid of it last September, yet the job market has only worsened. Scapegoating minorities, whether it be trans people, brown people, Muslims

Really? Of the two, you chose to name Karp as the fascist, not Thiel?

It's not a scraper though, is it? Last time I checked it was API-based.

Huawei’s CANN is fully open and supposedly a drop-in replacement for CUDA. The latter could make it a supеrior option to either AMD or Intel.

I'm seeing the opposite happening. The ability to focus to the point of obsession or find joy in boring repetitive tasks associated with autism helped before the rise of AI and automation. Now, interpersonal communication and creativit

Am I the only one with the opposite experience? I can’t remember the last time GPT told me I was right. It always finds something to nitpick (sometimes wrongly). Maybe it’s OpenAI being aware of the “attachment” issue and combating it by ov

I got the impression they were kick-started by Anglo countries (the Five Eyes, whatever you wanna call them), then gradually picked up by the rest.

They are initiated by the same people - the government - and pursue the same goal - mass surveillance. They should 100% be fought against and grouped together.

Adversary? Unsure if you've been living under a rock, but the US and Europe are the ones starting wаrs and destabilizing half the world. They are the actual bad guys. I'll get a Chinese company's phone over an American or E

iPhone SoCs are very powerful. MacBook SoCs are built on them. Memory is the bottleneck with all Apple products. I have zero issues in terms of compute with the iPhone 12 Mini and could use it for years to come if the SoC were the bottlenec

You have to be very precise with your finger drags because it loves snapping back to the original position. Gbroard doesn’t suffer from this. Part of the reason is it doesn’t do the “free-floating” cursor thing - which I’ve never understo

This one has always confused me as well. Tapping the screen, as the other commenter suggested, dismisses the whole thing too, so I have to fish for the stop button in the notifications every time. Maybe there’s “the Apple way” that we’ve ye

No, that’s a common cope. Not AI. Not bots. Not Indians or Pakistanis. Not Kremlin or Hasbara agents. All the above might comprise a small percentage of it, but the vast majority of the rage bait and rage bait support we’ve seen over the pa

What's the alternative? At least they don't comply with takedown requests, which can't be said about archive.org who remove everything even semi-controversial.
