And all these improvements past 1935 have been rendered irrelevant to the daily driver by safety regulations (I'll limit this claim to most of the continental US to avoid straying beyond my experience.)

What is it about this kind of post that you guys are recognizing it as AI from? I don't work with LLMs as a rule, so I'm not familiar with the tells. To me it just reads like a fairly sanitized blog post.

Isn't that moving the goalposts? The comment you were asking under specifically said these arrests were made without obtaining a warrant.

We get it, all lives matter.

The point they're making is that $currentAdministration ran specifically on a platform countering this behavior and have failed to keep those promises, whereas others which ignored it simply did not mention it.

Not to mention that Spock is consenting to his fate in taking on the role of "the few... or even the one." He's clearly rationalizing, not stating a universal constant.

This is the nuance I wish more people (and especially the articles reporting this info) brought to the table. Not necessarily something everyone would consider at first blush, but very important contextually in contrast to the "why tf would they never want automation ever?" reaction.

Trying to argue around the circumstances of a one-line anecdote is peak HN. Your experience of the world doesn't invalidate theirs, and vice versa.

When Canada was on fire last year, we had smoke all down the east coast. I don't know if it affected the temperature, but it sure affected the environment. it doesn't need to go full ashen-winter to fuck up plant growth cycles for farms and whatnot, I'm sure.

But then you're just changing who gets disparaged from a technical expert to an emotional one. If you're offended by the term engineering, may I suggest scheming? I think that would better convey the nefarious aspect of the term.

Arrowhead's CEO was on Twitter explicitly telling people to refund and leave negative reviews, as that customer feedback gives them more leverage to negotiate with when discussing reverting the unpopular change. But nice "what about the children".

Man, you and I remember Office Space differently! /s

"I don't feel like it" doesn't sound like desperation to me. It sounds more like entitlement.

What a condescending attitude towards someone trying to break into a difficult industry, who has probably been aiming for this for some time, and likely went to college for that express purpose.

I agree with this. As a layman, I've always understood "orders of magnitude larger" to just mean "way too big" and "exponential" growth to imply "out of control".

What crops do you grow in those conditions?

I can't stress enough how refreshing it is to see this take on HN. The usual rise-and-grind crowd always seem to dominate the discussions - likely because they have that investment (emotional and professional) in the first place; I don't want to invalidate anybody by saying this - so it at times feels alienating to read these threads.

I don't want to be friends, I don't want to constantly be growing and mastering my field, etc; I want to be good at what I do, fulfill my objectives for the day, and leave it at the desk when I go home.

They're free to waive your debt rather than accept payment.

I don't know if you realize this, but moms are actually people, and can exist in all sorts of situations. Go figure.

Probably the problem that persists in the modern day, because it remains relevant.

I don't think I'll be trusting the folks at Arc with reinventing the web GUI when the Arc landing page is so pretentiously ugly.

Another way to put it: "why use part of your home for work space, and pay for your worktime utilities, when your employer should pay for that?"

If you're working from home, you should be writing off that office space come tax time, which should offset the utility cost.

Put 'em in a ziplock. Pull out the top drawer of the dresser. Tape baggie to back interior. Replace drawer.

I've seen several memes presented to me by Facebook, since it's normally the kind of content and subject matter I'd consume, counseling people to not even "hate-watch" it. So there is some variety of blind opposition or boycot afoot, and shockingly, the comment sections very frequently come back around to color-blind casting.

you know what they say about the road to hell…

...you're forced to use mass transit!

Hey now, nobody said anything about reading French! ...I think. :P

All the Zorg oldies but goldies.

But do they own an NFT of an 0?

The one where a dying serial killer uses a voodoo ritual to turn into a doll and stab people?

"the other demonstrably false"

Go on... Demonstrate.

Really? I work for a <50 employee manufacturer/distributor, and we're pretty firmly locked down. If people want to _update Java_, they need an admin password.

Not to mention the fact that the very intent of a gun is to inflict harm on others, where a drug is an inward-directed substance, harmful or not.

Very few people choose to get shot. A lot of people choose to take drugs. The person in front of me shooting heroin is unlikely to get me high. The person in front of me shooting guns is more likely to shoot me than themselves.
