bufferoverflow··on Rents fall in most U.S. metros since 2023, demand struggles to match supply
They were not allowed to leave. Most of their products of labor was taken. They were slaves.

And yes, I'm against communism partly because of that. It's an awful ideology.

bufferoverflow··on AI Saved My Company from a 2-Year Litigation Nightmare
Both statements are false, but even if they were true, if AI can do your job, and costs 1% of you, and works 100x faster, there's no reason to pay you.
bufferoverflow··on Web designs are getting too complicated
I agree with you on Tailwind, but React/Vue solve the problem of creating complex webapps. If you write HTML and modify DOM manually with JS, it only works for relatively simple projects. As soon as it becomes complex, it becomes hard to track which JS code changes what DOM.

Another thing is maintability. Working with single-file components with state management systems is just a pleasure.

bufferoverflow··on Ask HN: Does anyone know of a general news site akin to Hacker News?
All of these are widely supported on Reddit.

O RLY? Which right-wing positions are common/popular on HN?

Except Soviet Union made you work for near slave wages. I would choose NYC over it 100% of the time.

> work discretely like humans

What kind of humans are you surrounded by?

Ask any human to write 3 sentences about a specific topic. Then ask them the same exact question next day. They will not write the same 3 sentences.

Have you missed how everyone was Ghiblifying everything?

Name any far-left position that's not widely supported on Reddit.

If you think posting crime stats of all races is racism, you got brainwashed by a cult.
bufferoverflow··on Ask HN: Does anyone know of a general news site akin to Hacker News?
Try posting anything right-wing, like government crime stats of black vs white people. You will get banned.
bufferoverflow··on Ask HN: Does anyone know of a general news site akin to Hacker News?
Good luck with that. Their moderation is too insane and not transparent for my taste.

And, considering HN is quite far left, you won't create anything new really.

bufferoverflow··on Musk-Trump dispute includes threats to SpaceX contracts
SpaceX can move to another country if the US starts creating problems. Plenty of countries will happily take them.
bufferoverflow··on Ask HN: Does anyone know of a general news site akin to Hacker News?
Reddit, but you have to carefully select your subs. And it's not very useful for politics, because it's very one-sided, very far left, and they ban you for any transgressions that don't fit the narrative.
bufferoverflow··on Researchers develop ‘transparent paper’ as alternative to plastics
I disagree. We use plastic because it's cheap, lightweight, waterproof and not (very) toxic.

If we had plastic that is not transparent and biodegraded in a year, it would be perfectly fine, as it would cover almost all food packaging cases.

But, unfortunately, we use plastics for everything these days. I saw even some cars are now made of plastic (Bezos's Slate).

bufferoverflow··on The Illusion of Thinking: Strengths and limitations of reasoning models [pdf]
> we are confused about what LLMs can do is because they use language.

But they can also do math, logic, music notation, write code, LaTeX, SVG, etc.

bufferoverflow··on Being fat is a trap
Wolves know nothing about the horrible consequences of being fat. Most people do.
bufferoverflow··on AGI is not multimodal
Ask a blind person if some color scheme looks good. Ask them to color-grade a film. Ask them if the laser level shows level.

Blind people, while definitely not lacking intelligence completely, have major gaps in their understanding of the world.

bufferoverflow··on Being fat is a trap
Because food is cheap and they have no self-control.

And because certain groups promote fatness as a virtue, or that fatness is healthy.

Just a few comments above you claimed "The sheer scope of the obesity pandemic should make it clear that we are not the problem", and now you admit that it's your fault. Which one is it?

Not for long. Sorry

bufferoverflow··on Being fat is a trap
Accountability for putting food in your mouth.

And then claiming it's not your fault.

It 100% is.

And open-source Flux.1 Kontext is already better than it.
bufferoverflow··on AGI is not multimodal
Blind people have a lot less understanding of the visual part of the world. For example, if you have a chemical reaction, the result of which relies on color, they can't tell you the result (without using some seeing tool like a camera).

bufferoverflow··on AGI is not multimodal
I didn't limit anything. Read what I wrote.

I agree, AIs should have all the possible sensors. We don't have much data for the non-human sensors in human environments though.

bufferoverflow··on Show HN: I made a 3D SVG Renderer that projects textures without rasterization
But he isn't limited to one specific resolution. If he used PNG, he would be limited.
bufferoverflow··on Magnus Carlsen might walk away from classical chess
Maybe it's a frame of a video?
bufferoverflow··on AGI is not multimodal
AGI must be multimodal. If it can't understand images, video, sound, smells, tastes, it doesn't have a full understanding of the world.
bufferoverflow··on "AI Will Replace All the Jobs " Is Just Tech Execs Doing Marketing
Why would you think garbage collecting or other mundane jobs won't be automated when much more complex ones are?

If AI+robotization gets to the point where most jobs are automated, humans will get to do.what they actually want to do. For some it's endless entertainment. For others it's science exploration, pollution cleanup, space colonization, curing the disease. All of that with the help of the AIs.
