The irony in you determining what is and isn’t HN, simply by if it’s “many users” vs “many companies” spamming someone.

I would assume YC-funded AI crawlers spamming a website with requests is “very HN” and “not DOS” in your mind.

I’m expecting that to decrease, not increase.

Apple pushing top talent to competitors reminds me of Apple 1994.

In other words: don’t buy a year’s worth of credits.

Only give us money more frequently, otherwise you might give us too much money, which we’ll happily keep without giving you what you originally paid for.

How often do gift cards lose their balance after 12 months? Seems like a bad deal for consumers.

That’s honestly more frustrating, given call and SMS spam is more prevalent than fax or email spam for me. Those systems just have better (but not infallible) consumer-side protections.

Get with the times, Congress.

Is that why I’m suddenly getting fax spam this year?

Every few weeks, it’s either a fake invoice or investment pitch.

Since I receive them as a PDF in an email, I wonder if prompt injection via fax has been done.

Once again, here is Apple encouraging its users to paste random sudo commands into Terminal.app instead of just providing a toggle in System Settings.

Steve Jobs would be so proud.

I think that’d be appropriate.

I’m angling for it to go out at $250b.

Personally, I think it looks like a silver dumpster.

To those that downvoted, I’m sorry my opinion offended you.

Uhg that’s my issue. I keep getting it mixed up with https://wave.google.com/

Go with the Flow, don’t ride the Wave.

Yeah, I definitely want to buy a $1,799 mobile device from OpenAI that has a dynamic, AI-generated user interface I navigate by voice. It will be revolutionary.

I’m still waiting for voice commands for controlling your computer to take off.

They’ve been around since at least the 90s, but the keyboard and mouse still are dominant.

Will well performing voice models eliminate the need for touchscreen devices?

They make for great targets in foreign conflicts.

For now that’s true for older machines, even though other OSes can’t really make full use of the hardware (yet).

I wouldn’t put it past the Ternus-run company to issue a firmware update that breaks third-party boot loaders for existing hardware, and simultaneously hinder third-party development on upcoming hardware.

As of last month, yes.

Looks like a County road, which I believe the County Sheriff would have jurisdiction over.

I don’t see any attempt to obtain a comment from Hennepin County in this biased reporting.

I like the concept. I’m going to reimplement this as a single page web app I have more control over for my kid.

The nice thing about politicians is they can be held accountable by constituents, per the Constitution.

Data center developers, who should be equally distrusted (but seem to get a pass), are not beholden to you.

It will take developers and politicians working together to find a solution, rather than let developers do whatever they can to maximize profits without regulation or public process.

Which is what Republicans were already doing, while agreeing to NDAs that kept their constituents in the dark.

With the mandate from voters, hopefully we see less secret development and more open communication about the deals being cut.

Apple lawyers will argue you can’t access the audio or transcript directly, just an AI interpretation of what was said.

Like someone next to you on a train recalling from memory what you said to your boss.

Opt-in for the owner of the wearable device, not for the people being listened to.

Kind of like Meta’s approach to those glasses that record everyone you look at, except without an indicator the owner has to cover up or disable.

I was expecting talk radio, but I'm enjoying the music too!

The untested loophole is you can't access the audio or direct transcript, just a "summary" of everything everyone around you says.

Now we need HackerRadio to run in the background.

I thought that’s what sponsors and advertisers are for. Let the Saudis cover the remaining bill.

Same for Flock cameras, running a 2017 kernel.

Apple can pivot Siri pretty easily.

> where being duped with propaganda into believing falsehoods should not be something to look up to.

I agree, but believe we’re now in a regressive society, moving as fast as we can to repeat history, investing vast resources into effortless propaganda machines.
