This has been litigated endlessly with guns. The ceo of Smith & Wesson is not personally responsible for what people do with their guns.

That’s not a new phenomenon. The public education system is rooted in creating factory workers for the Industrial Revolution.

You can run it with a ChatGPT subscription (or even a local model) so it can be flat fee

China did it. It’s not inconceivable.

Don’t worry we have those 80 hour weeks in software too. I can think of a few examples. For example with mobile App Store review time used to be kind of like that. You submitted your app waited a few business days and prayed there wasn’t an obscure rejection that lead to an appeal which could take even longer. Very stressful when you are cueing up a launch and press releases on a certain date. you had to make sure you were done a few weeks in advance to account for everything.

I don’t work much on apps anymore but I hear it’s somewhat better now.

Another big area is compliance, those processes can take forever.

VPNs, proxies/relays, crawlers, etc

Except at big tech the next level might be 500k more not 5%

Starlink roam solves that!

This is just a laptop cpu, not an end consumer product…

The popular national parks like Yosemite do pay for themselves, so that’s how it works, it’s just run by the government instead of a corporation.

Sand is heavy af. A ton is only like 20 cubic feet. Still… that’s not very much money.

Makes you assume the article is also at least partially generated by AI

Calfair will certainly need to be bailed out. The plans has over 5B in exposure in palisades alone, and only a few hundred million in reserves.

Defensible housing exists, there have been some viral photos of a few houses that survived this wildfire. But the embers from large fires can fly for miles in high wind, so it would likely have to be the whole city

If it were just pro that would be one thing, but when I saw “Pro Max” I instantly thought of Apple.

You’re forgetting lots of people rent. Lots of people can’t afford to own, and almost all of them rent. The other factor is dual, or even 3+ incomes in families living together.

Haunted IPs are a thing, same as the haunted domains article also on the front page right now! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41951131

To me this sounds typical. I seem to remember people saying similar things about millennials 15 years ago. Would be curious to see a comparison.

Sure it’s possible, but it’s also incredibly difficult.

1991 tag. An all time classic.

Unpopular view perhaps, but public WiFi seems obsolete except for where cell signal can’t reach. 5G is usually faster and somewhat more secure than connecting to access points.

What’s the use case? Production system with minimal downtime? Replicate and backup the systems individually most likely. Or snapshot the fs.

At Meta folly::Coro is used pretty heavily. Have you taken a look at it? Wondering if there are any advantages. The api seems fairly similar to me at a glance.

The fee is already 1% in a lot of places after the NAR ruling earlier this year so that arbitrage is mostly gone.

I think you answered why the only real solutions are

a) don’t collect the data (signal approach)

b) hire an army of lawyers and compliance people (big tech approach)

c) ban users from entire countries where you don’t comply (common in crypto)

d) risk jailtime or asset forfeiture

Also known as the dead internet theory

Maybe zero sum on a global scale but not zero sum in terms of where industry gets developed.

Obviously there is debate, but reciprocal trade and national security are the reasons.

depends on the project and whether it needs the speed vs the cost & power savings, same as buying an old pc

I’m sure they have a pitch deck. It’s pretty obvious a big chunk will go to compute costs for model training & research. But mostly it’s about the people in any company at this stage, same as any seed funding but on a different monetary scale.
