Unfortunately this is not what 95% of HN wants to hear, even though its the truth. But you have my upvote.

Because writing a headline with 90% miss in it will get more clicks than actually thinking through business strategy and realistic projections.

That's ridiculous, you think when we were tribes in the jungle mother's didn't have something to do? Gather berries or cook etc? Even 50 years ago it wasn't phones, it was probably household chores that mother's &qu

Without doing a google search - optical fibers factories and pharma factories can deliver higher quality products when built in space. And I bet there are hundreds of other examples. Just because launch costs were high and these weren'

Composer 2.5 worked just as well for me as opus 4.6, and was faster and actually worked better for quick bugfixes and reporting back to support. And is much cheaper. I'm not saying HN should be super supportive of everything, but the l

If I vibe code an app, and make $1m, and people willingly paid me for it, who am I exploiting? How did I "extract" $1m from a market. Who did I take that away from? I didn't even exploit my workers and make a margin on their

What if - evolutionarily we just haven't evolved for birth control? What if - given a choice, women just don't want to have 2.1 children on average? No one wants to touch this topic, because it's super offensive and probably

I built the very first prototype of petrolprices.com almost exactly 20 years ago I think. One man job, 2 weeks I think and we launched. Nice project :)

I also used it for advice on a massive personal decision, but I specifically asked it to debate with me and persuade me of the other side. I specifically prompted it for things I am not thinking about, or ways I could be wrong. It was extre

> There’s no democracy in being mostly beholden to a few companies which own the largest and most powerful models, who can cut you off at any time, jack up the prices to inaccessibility, or unilaterally change the terms of the deal. LOL.

> shed partisan tendencies and critically review policy initiatives You could take a good will attitude to DOGE then. I think many (including Elon) genuinely believed they could cut fraud and waste. But by their own admission, they were

> Starlink will have competition from Amazon Leo in the next few months Amazon Leo will have 14k satellites in space in a few months? Wow! Amazing!

Yeah, I remember people saying that about making 1m model 3s per year, landing rockets, getting 10k+ satellite privately into orbit, and getting millions of subscribers using internet via those satellites. Maybe just maybe the guy does actu

I actually think the public markets have a lot less faith in openai than softbank does. They need these crazy investors. Public markets would not value openai at $1.4trn. So they can't go public. It would reveal how bad things are.

I remember Elon saying in an interview recently that the only piece of the vertical stack he doesn't own is chips. I strongly suspect some sort of fab built by Elon associated companies will be announced soon. Almost all supply can be

As far as I know gemini and chatgpt will also create these images, they just won't post them automatically as social media posts.

You know how the NHS reduced waiting lists a few years back? If you had waiting lists of say 100 for a surgery, they basically said - the list is maximum 15 people, after that it's whoever books first who gets the surgery. So basically

age rating is not how I would categorise shows. It’s also extremely hard saying no to certain shows to my kids, and it would be much easier to just not have them there. I’m pretty sure the politically oriented people at Disney want this to

Last time I checked disney plus doesn't have any option to hide specific shows. None. You either let your child watch everything, or nothing. At least netflix allows me to hide certain shows...

Has he made billions? He's obviously done well but I'm not sure he has been able to capture any value from openai except for publicity, and what else does he have? A few $10m from loopt and ycombinator?

Is it just me or did nutella go from almost solid to much more fluid about 5 years ago? And it got slightly darker? Anybody know what happened? The texture definitely changed.

by zpeti 11mo ago
The answer is fairly obvious, humanity is always more obsessed with potential value than actual value. Elon sells that potential very well, but he does actually follow up in a decent way. Turning the impossible into late is a legitimate bus

So someone needs to make a substack for music basically. That's what we are talking about here. Question is, do people think a certain artist or song is important enough to pay $5/month to individually? My sense is no, but perhaps

Considering the amount of threats and hate jewish people with no connection get about Israel vs Palestine, you don't think there's at least some legitimacy for his position? Considering there was literally just an attack on a UK s

Cruelty is your perceived behaviour of people on the other side sticking up for their values. I can both argue that it’s cruel to not have housing for everyone, while also arguing it’s cruel to tax away 40-50% of an entire country’s product

Realistic is a very broad term, but do you think they don’t have an effect? And where you are from matters a lot, you will probably answer very differently if you are from California or if you are from Birmingham UK.

What people fail to understand about dynamics between countries, is ultimately there is no supreme court or arbiter of truth. The UN doesn't have authority over any powerful country (or non powerful country for that matter). People see

If a human brain can tell the difference between sun glare and an object, machine learning certainly can. It’s already better at X-rays and radiology in many cases. Everything you are talking about is just a matter of sufficient learning da
