Here's one tiny example. Take Doctors (Medical doctors.) One of their frequent tasks is reviewing film from X-rays, MRI's, CAT scans, etc. The bulk of this work could be offloaded to an AI/Expert System, relieving them of reviewing film that the vast majority of the time shows nothing of value, and giving them more time to treat patients. Not only that, but expert systems can combine the opinions and experience of thousands of doctors, rather than just one and they'll do a better and faster job of it.

And that's just one tiny example. There are uncountable tasks and entire jobs that require people to do intellectual "grunt work" that could not only be relieved of this drudgery, but also saved from simple human error.

AI will revolutionize every part of our lives.

I like that. So sick of listening to AI doomsayers. AI will transform everything.

If I knew that, I wouldn't be here surfing HN in my cube in this god forsaken company that I'm working for at the moment.

Oh good, let's start the data collection on kids as early as possible. Targeted ads for 5 year-olds should be a hot segment for advertisers.

No, and I prefer it that way. Spending another 45 minutes with people I already spend 50-60 hours a week with is not something I need or want. Lunch is for me the opportunity to take a well-deserved break away from work and from coworkers and the office (whether virtual or physical).

Lunch is me time, not work time.

A short story, and a boring game in my case. =)

Just upgraded from Samsung Note 9 to Samsung S22 Ultra.

I know, not exactly "value", but I love having the pen.

Interesting a relic card of all things could break the all-time record.

I disagree. The worst part of my day is getting up and forcing myself to get ready to go to a job I absolutely hate. Having to only do that 4 times a week versus 5 is far more important to me than getting home at 4pm instead of 6pm.

Any chance you're going to have an API? I'd love to have a random Dune quote in my email signature. =)

Bro, you could at least spell 'Silicon' correctly.

I certainly hope so.

I quite enjoyed that as well. I was quite surprised when I finally got one wrong.

Cool idea, but what is the practical application?

It's a cool idea, but what exactly am I supposed to do or get from this?

It was stressful enough before the bubble. Went through it twice, both times in a buyer's market and it was exhausting. I can't imagine what it would be like today, even if I could afford it.

I completely disagree. I've had all 3 and gas is far superior to the other two. Yes, induction is better than electric coils but it pales in comparison to gas.

I'll take 53 days. The stress and frustration of having to use an electric or induction stove every day would take a far greater toll.

Yes, I do like that feature in particular.

Not me. I can do this forever, and would prefer it. Seriously, fuck going back to the office, you can have it.

Would be nice to be able to change the display from a grid to a list so you could actually read the titles without hovering mouse over them.

Almost always at 1.25, unless it's for a couple of specific channels where I like to hear the guy speak in a normal voice.

Ok, I'm good with that.

> I have no interest in Twitter anymore and moved on to other projects

Due to lack of interest, not any technical hurdles.

No offense, but some of those "themes" are hilariously bad. I love it!

The web has become far too homgenized and corporatized.

Thanks, there's some really cool stuff in there! Shame it hasn't been updated since 2007.

Of course, that's just part of the charm of working for a startup. At times I've been the boss's Administrative Assistant, logistics, IT, facilities, R&D and now I've settled down as the Operations manager for the most part.

It's kind of cool wearing different hats sometimes. Keeps things fresh and lively.

Always pre-tax. (Gross)

There's far too many tax variables to discuss salaries at net level.

This was an interesting article...7 years ago when it was published. What about it is relevant to today?

I'd be curious to see what your take rate is. I imagine 99.99% of casuals are just going to close the window and leave when they discover this is a paid service, which you hide up until they need to enter a payment method.
