More than the CEOs themselves, I feel news media are more suffering from "AI psychosis" than anyone else with the constant stream of FUD articles they keep churning out.

Just asserts "Tech CEOs" in general, I don't see any names being named. Meaningless FUD article

This↑ - I had also jumped ship to DDG until I realized this query string still works on Google.

This article is a whole lot of nothing, feels like just an excuse to feature Goldman CEO on the publication for prestige value.

Surprising that nobody's talking about the non-AI Google - https://tedium.co/2024/05/17/google-web-search-make-default/

The captcha on this site is irritating.

> while Western Democracies are afraid of the future, and of their own shadow.

Trillions of Dollars being invested against AI infra would indicate otherwise. US is in fact betting a lot of its economic future on AI.

This is also the kind of advice that only sounds good on paper. In reality there is no clear marker of what you can and cannot do well unless you empirically experiment with everything which would take several lifetimes.

Modern gurus like Cal Newport advise the opposite, and for good reason.

DuckDuckGo gives you enough control in its settings to completely filter out AI-anything in search results. I like to think it is near classic Google's levels in search result quality even though it probably isn't.

Distro wars are pointless when the main point of friction remains the upward fight that is getting useful software to run on Linux.

You are not supposed to use Windows 11. Use any of Windows 10's enterprise versions, the difference is night-and-day.

This completely resonates with my experience. I have amassed enough familiarity with Linux having used and tried out all kinds of distros to the point of being able to assist others in setting up and diagnosing their systems, but I myself keep drifting back to W10. There remains a "homely" feeling to it that keeps eluding Linux distros.

The video version of this article made me feel very good. Not just AI anxiety, it shares a template of better living in general. Highly appreciate.

Will this get LTSC's security updates? I can seriously try this out as a daily driver if yes

All he brings up are social media comments, which may have been mildly representative of people more than a decade ago, but in the present-day are widely understood to be completely immaterial.

Sure but the attendants shouldn't have to play dress-up and condescendingly steward every single adult on the plane. Just have them as guard-like postings onboard and cut down costs on the training time wasted on customer "management".

LOL, I remember this one being a famous traitor to FOSS by starting out as a community project and then closing doors to make money from it. Guess they weren't able to make any money after all. Karma in action.

It might not be that significant of a cost all things considered, but I have always felt the peculiar existence of "professionally happy" cabin crew, in-flight meals, screens and other pointless "comforts" glaringly unnecessary in what's generally meant to be just 2-3 hours of sitting on an average for the passengers. You could just operate a plane like a dumb bus and save up on a lot of costs and turn it into competitive advantage.

Hmm

You say that, but when you empirically look at the people doing crimes you more often find that they're not exactly starving in the streets.

Hacker News Guidelines #19:

    Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

I don't use its products myself but Apple fits this definition perhaps; its current CEO is a former engineering head, the previous CEO was a former operations head and the one before him was Steve Jobs.

They wouldn't have had to face such embarrassment and rollbacks and spend billions had they just stuck to maintaining Windows 10 in the first place. To this day any improvement W11 offers over W10 is still an enigma.

They should honestly just instead back `scoop` as the default way to install Python on Windows. It's clean, sits nicely in userspace and handles CLI execution aliases elegantly.

But are PC software and games compatible and tuned for console hardware even if you hotwire Linux onto it?

The entirety of the web browser runs in userspace afaik. Whatever goes there and within is de facto a user agent.

Brave runs Sluggish and causes random temperature spikes on both Windows and Linux on my laptop like no other browser does.

Ridiculous comparison

Genuinely amazing!

> i have never heard someone outside of tech circles... mention "apk" or "fdroid" and their eyes start to glaze over

My no-tech middle-aged uncles and aunts know what apks are, and that you need to install apps from somewhere apart from the main Play store if you want them to have no ads.
