Good writing shouldn't just be how you talk out loud.

come together and build them or pay for them to be built

That's just taxes!

It's not a novel opinion but I'm tired of things being fucked all the time.

Millions of people died and the main takeaway for the US seems to be giving up vaccines and cutting programs that would mitigate future disasters. Not sure how you've come to that conclusion.

Of course there is. The person I'm responding to is still rich though.

You are the rich people.

I first encountered cyberdecks a while ago and thought they were a fun idea for hacking about but more recently I've started seeing videos of beginners making them by cramming raspberry pis into random cases salvaged from second hand shops.

It's been really cool to see people creating hardware without worrying about the usual limitations of soldering or 3d printing. Some have more technical ability than others and have salvaged screens or other bits from random electronics.

It feels like a rediscovery of hacker ethos without the slightly toxic baggage of maker culture.

Seems like that's just for protesters.

Whew! Glad that's sorted.

Okay well we have those already and it hasn't really changed anything.

Not really!

Because it's only an option if you're rich and most of us aren't rich.

That is a blog.

Here is a meta-analysis that says trans women don't exhibit significant differences in performance: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/60/3/198

Does that work?

I get the feeling that it's not worth looking at because it was probably made using LLMs

This is the big one for me. Small toy website someone has made as a passion project used to be the big draw of HN for me but now I just a assume it's a vibe-coded mess that'll 404 in 7 months.

If I had fewer orders, I would work more to increase the quality of my product

Really? Because most of the time what you see is huge layoffs and gutting the company's assets.

Workers ultimately have a job because they are useful to managemen

Workers have a job because their labour produces value

sloppy thinking and sloppy arguments

If you think this is the result it's probably just because you're not used to discussing political theory. Within academic spaces these discussions are very well developed and nuanced. HN people like yourself aren't very used to being left behind but there are experts that understand what you don't.

That's not a reliable source.

one to do the work and submit PRs to your repo

Have we not seen loads of examples of terrible AI generated RPs every week on this site?

I don't think the problem was a lack of Elon Musk's involvement.

Polling seems to suggest you're wrong.

That’s fine, vent. But don’t confuse that with discussion.

The idea that discussion should be dispassionate and analytical is just wrong. All that does is hides biases. Discussion should be honest; often that means being messy and angry.

Police officers cannot be continuously getting into fights with people, especially armed people

That is their job.

There is nothing to suggest LLMs will be as revolutionary as paper. The PalmPilot didn't lead to new field of science just because people had a new way to write things down.

level of extremism of the pro-trans activists

What on earth are you talking about?

I mean, we were previously working together to invade countries in the middles east, killing millions of people. I wouldn't call that peaceful.

It's about half a dozen accounts, it could just be the very strange hobby of a single person in Iran. I don't know why all the other comments are acting like this is evidence of a huge misinformation campaign by Russia.

As someone that doesn't live in the US, this post sounds insane.
