It probably matters where, because the longest waiting times were always in the US for me. Especially since digital passports, the queue into the EU is always extremely quick with those, while it’s still the same into the US (at least in Boston and Los Angeles, where I usually land).
It wasn't misleading for 70 years... How did it become misleading?

As it is taught literally every single AI/machine learning course on the world, machine learning is very much part of AI completely since inception.
I don’t completely understand why it is this important for you to argue against this completely defined fact.
Most of them were completely unrecognizable back then. Compared to those, this is a huge achievement.
Probably it was added to the training data on the first day when this benchmark was on HN main page. It’s a bad benchmark since then. I don’t know why people still rate it high. Basically, every benchmark becomes pointless after it was published. They are good only to have a picture at the time they’re published first, and not after.
First, they would need global coverage for that. Because looking at this map tells a different story: https://starlink.com/gb/map
It’s still the best option, but far from “global”. Also Iran is an obvious lie with that “coming soon” color, so god knows what else isn’t true on this.
Maybe this will help, but I know that your cognitive dissonance will find something else:
- There are 100 controversial opinions - 50 is censored - you can see 50 all the time
Also, you ignored all of the explanation which explained to you why your “censorship” and mine are different. And make your whole question nonsense. Because you predictably used “leftist”, and I anticipated that the problem is empathy.
It's censored and there is a ton of controversial opinions being spread?
Do you see how these two statements are in conflict?
It's not in conflict. Both can be true at the same time. Also, there is nothing which is not "controversial".
You don't like some speech but that's proof that restrictions on speech have been lifted.
Still, nothing in conflict. I can have problem with some speech, and I can support full blown free speech at the same time. Also, there is literally nobody who supports uncontrolled free speech. Not even, who lie to themselves that they support that.
The charlie kirk stuff wasn't censored.
It wasn't "censored" in the sense, that you can find whatever you want. That was true on Twitter always in every single topic, even before Musk. It was censored how you can find it. Which is the case even by government censorship. You can find Mein Kampf even in countries where it's completely banned. You can find weed everywhere, the difference is only how.
this tends to resolve itself as there is a market opportunity to create a better product
If the market is fair and leveled. Which is not the case without intervention as we know for hundreds of years at this point. And governments clearly started to no intervene even when their own laws would require it.
which lifted its restrictions
This is categorically not true. Twitter home page is massively censored and coordinated. And this was quite obvious around Charlie Kirk's death, when normalization of racism was heavily promoted, and without a doubt promoted. Not before that, and after that was so obvious that they touched the algorithm for that (I have a far right racist fake account there to monitor this specifically). Also from Musk's own words, when Grok didn't lie for them. And since controversial topics, like racism, alt-right, etc spreads better, "lifting restrictions" mean exactly to form public opinions towards these. The market is not fair even towards ideas for a long time (and probably it was never true).
Currently, the fact that these large platforms can block you and they block you randomly (which is the case of Reddit for me, because I dared to use privacy protecting extensions when I commented on a subreddit to which I wasn’t subscribed; Instagram permanently blocked me because I used VPN when I wanted to login) is way larger restriction on my speech than removing these harmful platforms completely. Currently, I’m not allowed to react to others at all on some of these platforms. Even TV is better, because there is contact information for all of them.
What does it give to the military, what they haven’t had already? Better round trip time?
Huge advantages maybe in the future. Not now.
I’m thinking buying a camper van, and just travel through the world. Except I need internet, everywhere.
There are no such options. Starlink is the best, but there are two main problems with it:
- In the countries where it would be the most useful, it’s not allowed to be used (Garmin has the same problem with their Fenix 8 Pro, their availability maps are a joke) - You need to go back to your “home” country every other month (there is a non legal, thus risky, option to circumvent this for now)
So, that huge advantage is not here yet at all.
Interestingly, the average reader wasn’t that annoyed by the magnitudes higher information density of 2 decades ago.
Also, the information density plummeted because of ads, not because it was demanded by readers.
Even in 2015, we have already started Spring projects without XML configuration.
But you shouldn’t be surprised. Very few people really can code in Spring nicely. For example, configuration in application.properties is still seems to be too complex to understand for most. Most accepted solution on StackOverflow is not the best at all (for example many-many includes unnecessary lines).
Not sure why such stuff would need to be retained to function
It's quite difficult to know what happened in the previous frame without any kind of retention.
Except of course they did something. They created a new language from scratch when they knew this whole situation beforehand.
My analogy is perfect, because it’s easy to filter people out who cannot add anything to the discussion. They immediately start to divert the discussion to orthogonal topics, which has nothing to do with the core topic. It’s a bait for stupid people. It makes obvious when the commenter really has well thought thoughts, or just parroting something.
You are the first in my life who said to a cognitive dissonance that it’s well put. People always amaze me.
Exactly. Which you cannot possibly know from the cited sentence.
I think fascism is just a symptom. People here do the same thing with Apple for example. Yesterday, I could induce cognitive dissonance quite easily, the same way when they encounter irrevocable fact against their faith in fascism. The exact same reaction with their faith in Apple.
But I understand, they are disappointed in democracy, and when they should disappoint in the thing which is presented them as the exact opposite, there would be nothing, and that’s scary. Of course, they fucked up their belief system at the first place, where they started to think about democracies in a black and white way.
The same thing with Apple. They disappointed in Google, then Apple. Then what kind of phone can you choose?
I have two 5 years oldish nieces. And looking back to kids’ world, almost everything (but that “almost” is quite new) teaches them to view the world as black and white, when most of the things are grey. I’m not sure that I ever got a teaching which tries to help this contradiction. How to choose between two wrongs. Many will base their choice on faith, and since their conditioning taught them that there is only black and white, something needs to be white. No matter what.
If I allow you to cross my main door, but I'm 100% kill you immediately after that, do I really allow you into my home, or not? Your legalese only works in court, and Apple and fanboys spread this nonsense only because of legal reasons.
The parent commenter rightfully criticizes these kinds of sentences:
Necessity being the mother of invention, this led to the creation of an ingenious solution: daisugi, the growing of additional trees, in effect, out of existing trees — creating, in other words, a kind of giant bonsai.
It tries to sell something as completely unique. It’s not. For example this sentence should emphasize what’s unique with daisugi, because there is a very good English word with this exact same meaning as written in this sentence: grafting.
The fact that simple VendorID spoofing makes features available tells otherwise.
Even that is a lie. It allows other OSs, but they know quite well, that without drivers, it’s an empty promise. I can’t run anything else on my Mini for example.
For me, what others said and literally showed with Claude Code, et al, and what I’ve been experiencing with it, clearly signal way lower standards. But this was true even before LLMs.
Is this type of problem even solvable?
But since when Trump or Republicans own them? The whole idea behind modern democracies is the exact thing that they don’t, and these kind of influences shouldn’t exist.
they had to choose credit card
And that doesn’t always work. For example, at a Chevron petrol station in California in the middle of nowhere we tried several European credit and debit cards, and nothing worked. At the end, the guy working there helped us with some prepaid option at the counter. He didn’t believe us until he tried himself that really none of our cards worked.
But the situation is way better than 5+ years ago. Back then, almost every second purchase of ours had some problem with our cards in the US. Now, we had like one or two in more than a week.
But of course, some car rental companies still pretend that they are generous that they allow debit cards. Not just in the US.
And this is their circular reasoning of their valuation.
“See, here is our company made to worth X by our product, because it can make a company worth X.”
And yet, the product made something really unreliable.
And nobody bats an eye on the market.
But hey, SpaceX successfully sold that they would generate 30 trillion dollars of revenue.
It’s funny, because I felt that drivers were the chillest in New Zealand compared to anywhere in Europe, North America or Australia. There are regional differences (for example somebody mentioned Sydney here, which is truly different than for example North from there like Brisbane, Cairns; or obviously different parts of Europe can be vastly different), but I experienced the calmest driving experience in my whole life in and around Auckland. I labeled exactly zero other people as idiots there, but my scale is probably different than locals’. I drove a lot in Eastern Europe and South Italy. Compared to those places, New Zealand is heaven regarding this aspect.
It’s funny, because I don’t expect more features from Windows than Windows XP, or let’s pretend that I need more security (I don’t, but I know a lot of folks need them), then Windows 7. But even those could have been reduced greatly. I remember that I could disable at least half of the services in XP without losing anything. Maybe the only features since back then which I use are proper DPI scaling, individual app sound level settings, and maybe the favorite folders in Explorer, but I’m not sure whether this later one didn’t exist back then.
If they would provide that (with security patches of course), then they wouldn’t need “quick startup” and other bullshits to make things “quicker”.
