How is that fascinating? That's what makes up most of the tedious Show HN posts these days.

HackerNews is where I find informed commentary on tech stuff because places like reddit are hollowed out and useless for it. I don't care one bit about cretins like VCs.

The majority of people with this mindset should not go to college and should just get a trade job or manufacturing job like they did 100 years ago. People were like this a few decades ago as well when I got my degree. I didn't have consistently great classmates until honors and accelerated grad courses in my 3rd and 4th year, along with various domain specific student orgs like groups for hardware hacking, computer security, etc.

Obviously this can't happen without some structural change (virtually impossible in the US due to its political ossification and indefinite deadlock) because a degree is now just a way of gatekeeping the middle class, but dull and incurious minds made ideal manual laborers in the past, and, at some point, we lost sight of that and started rotting our corporate world out with them.

150M at 5B revenue is not great: that's 3% margin!

Oy vey maybe this kind of money grubbery is not good for our society.

I'm aware and was expressing my disappointment in that kind of flaming comment coming from someone who's supposed to be the adult in the room.

This comment was unnecessary and very distracting from a far more interesting discussion in the replies to the commenter you are attempting to condescend.

An honest to god article full of em dashes that's not because it was AI but because it was a human using them as a crutch to get around crafting sentences that flow naturally. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

Crazy to see the Twitter behavior here of really smart, well conveyed top level comments replied to by weird propaganda pushing bottom feeders.

Cost of a great apartment by 1920 standards is affordable to anyone before they are 30, the problem is that they want to add lots of nice but non-essential things to that house driving the price up.

Absolute bullshit drivel because there's no GrEAt ApARmenTs by 1920 STanDArDs available in any major cities like there were in the 20s. Everyone has to rent a GreaT ApARtMENt bY 1920 StAnDaRDs instead because they just LOVE renting GrREAT ApaRTmeNTs BY 1920 StanDARds instead of buying them for the equivalent of a car payment today.

due to its Orthodox Jewish population

and its use of United States tax dollars to fund social services that make it possible to raise their broods that American citizens simply don't get.

I shop at walmart compared to whole foods and other "better" chains for similar reasons. "great value" as walmart's motto goes, it isn't about the price, it's about the value you get for what you pay for. Spirit was the "great value" airline.

Yeah it's not a secret that you can get by in life on the cheap if you have cheap, trashy tastes.

So a thousand civilians weren't shot by death squads in civilian towns

Correct. The civilian death count was below a thousand and quite good by IDF/US military collateral damage standards. Compare to the hostage rescue operation the IDF and US carried out to get that one bimbo woman (who was immediately raped by an Israeli after being rescued btw) that killed over 100 civilians.

babies weren't kidnapped

Correct

women weren't raped

Correct

houses weren't burned with people inside

I'm sure many were, yes. Again, fairly acceptable by collateral standards.

bodies weren't found dismembered

Maybe there were, but there's been no evidence posted of it.

I think you should really investigate your sources of information as this is approaching an alternative reality.

Nothing I've posted is controversial or hard to verify.

Don't use slurs on Hackernews, thanks

If disliking the terrorist tactics of the zionists who invented modern terrorism (Lehi, Irgun, etc.) is "antisemitic" then my heart weeps for the Jews who will have to be held accountable for it then.

No, learning math is still a valuable skill. You still learned how addition worked growing up even though calculators existed, right? You learned to read even though screen readers exist?

Euros generally understand that taxes aren't purely for what they themselves want to be done.

then shouldn’t you dismiss those who spent far less time than I to learn about the subject, who are saying the experts are wrong

Already have

ChatGPT, prompted by an amateur, solves an Erdős problem.

There, fixed that for you.

I am David Schneider-Joseph, an engineer formerly with SpaceX and Google, now working in AI safety. Alzheimer’s isn’t my field

If anyone wants to know who wrote the article linked before wasting time reading it, there you go.

People greatly overestimate the number of Vietnam vets who were drafted.

You think there's nothing about "politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities" that "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" that isn't "evidence of some interesting new phenomenon"?

This post is about a sport (juggling) and doesn't cover "new phenomena". So what the hell are we doing here? Any more rule nerd ass hall monitors want to drop another irrelevant rule in here?

Is there anything HN related involved here other than autism?

tfw le AI guy has LLM psychosis. We're cooked

FYI the phrase is "lo and behold"

Thank you for the heads up.

Gavriel Cohen, its creator, is one of the many human shields for the IDF^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H people cowering in bomb shelters in Tel Aviv.

I love how NanoClaw looks, but I simply can't bring myself to give Israeli software like this access to any of my systems.

Yeah dumbasses regularly post nonsense on Elon's X™

Look at all that great discussion on those two. What a shame someone had to go and submit it again!

Sorry Gavriel Cohen, but this Google search placement was promised to the other person thousands of years ago.

it causes real pain in my wrist if I use it too much

LMAO
