If you don’t make it back you would die of starvation and lack of water. These are some of the worst ways of dying. What do you find comforting and peaceful about it? The person has been abandoned by their community and could suffer terribly for days.

They could also make the sport more affordable to watch again.

They kept it secret to not disturb the research they were conducting.

If you share this link on a public forum like HN you might want to add more than an error message for mobile devices so people might be incentivized to switch to desktop or bookmark it for later.

Otherwise really impressive.

In my experience Claude is quite good at the popular stacks in the JavaScript, Python and PHP world. It struggled quite a bit when I asked it non-trivial questions in C or Rust for example. For smaller languages (e.g., Crystal) it seems to hallucinate a lot. I think since a lot of people work in JS, Python and PHP, that’s where Claude is very valuable and that’s where a lot of the praise feel justified too.

I linked you research showing the opposite of what you claim. I'd recommend not looking at topics through this culture war lens, it tends to corrupts people's ability to be objective and thoughtful.

> The elephant in the room here is that, like so many issues, AI has become political for some people. In this case your "AI skeptic friends" are your "defund the police" and "abolish ICE" friends. For 95% of people AI is just a new technology to be loved and feared.

I really don’t think there is this “elephant” at all. If you reduce critique, skepticism and fear people might have to political slogans of mainly fringe online activists, I wonder how objective your assessment of those attitudes can actually be.

I recommend you take a look at this research published by Pew. You can see that concern about AI is much higher than 5% and is shared across the political spectrum: https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2025/04/03/how-the-us-p...

I see.

> With platforms like substack, X, and LinkedIn it seems easier than ever for an independent journalist to cultivate an audience.

Cultivating an audience is one thing but serious investigative journalism often takes considerable amount of time and money. Most journalists I’ve seen on Substack and similar platforms seem to mainly do commentary, summaries of topics, interviews, and the like. There is a place for that of course but it isn’t really filling the need for investigative journalism too well at the moment.

No one said it's illegal. They said it leaves a bad taste. I also don't think this particular comment was necessarily a critique of capitalism as a whole.

I just took a few random spots from around the globe and it got most of them right and some of them incredibly precisely right. I also tried to exclude obvious hints such as license plates, street signs, advertising, etc.

> One now needs to take an exam to get these licenses.

I’m not too familiar with VMware’s entire product offering, so the answer might be obvious, but why would a company add hoops for their customers to jump through like this? Is this a new money angle for Broadcom since the acquisition?

No, Hunter Biden is not at all the „same“ as the false elector scheme and violently storming the capitol.

To anyone, I recommend you give this a read: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_fake_electors_plot

Musk says a lot of things. Naivety is on display when you accept them without skepticism.

I think you are being quite generous to him here. He is not saying there is a non zero chance that it didn't happen similar to how there is a non zero chance your entire existence is the dream of a child who is about to wake up. He spends the next fourteen minutes weighing the supposed reasons for why it might have happened and why it might have not happened. Seven years ago he clearly stated that he believed in the moon landing. Here he is actually sowing doubts about the event.

Take it as you will. OP responded to another user saying maybe if there was fly-over video evidence it might convince someone like Rogan as clearly he is not entirely convinced yet. I think that's a fair assessment.

Rogan has questioned the moon landing again just five months ago. Here is him having a conversation with Matt Walsh about it from episode 2204 of his podcast: https://youtu.be/xGoQcOIONVs?feature=shared

>Buch of children in the US executive branch.

The intended audience is eating this up. If you go to conservative spaces, NATO now is considered a rip off, the EU was apparently designed to hurt the US, Zelensky is a dictator, etc.

I'm very sure that there is a lot of spending that is used inefficiently. Any large organization does run into that problem. Resolving some issues, cutting red tape, making processes more efficient, all that is probably a good idea. However, "DOGE" and those cheering them on have not produced any evidence for the vast majority of the claims they made. Often they also just misrepresented facts (e.g., USAID supposedly funding media sites, condoms in Gaza and many other nonsense) or simply lied. I also don't see much promotion of actual nuanced views on the topic like the Hamilton Project's tracker of federal expenditures which you can find here: https://www.hamiltonproject.org/data/tracking-federal-expend...

At the moment, the US government seems to be mainly focused on causing headlines to make their base happy who want quick victories and have not shown resilience to simplistic takes, and - of course - to make the opposition party and their supporters panic.

I think it's definitely helpful to describe a source's political leaning to add context to a discussion. However, claiming that they generally "hate big tech, love DEI" seems a little disingenuous. I think, HN is best when it's nuanced and does not jump and feed on hyperbolic culture war topics primarily used as ragebait.

There surely are many articles supportive of diversity initiatives published by the Guardian. But they have also published critical and nuanced articles on the subject. Here are a two examples:

"Focusing on diversity means we miss the big picture. It’s class that shapes our lives" -> https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jan/29/focusi...

"So your company uses diversity training. Does it even work?" -> https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/10/workplace-dive...

That’s a good point. I think if you really like the editor it might be something your employer could pay for. At least ST only offers a one-time fee for each major version. Of course that depends on where you work and their policies. So I see how it’s not so easy and my comment definitely missed that part.

You can essentially use Sublime for free indefinitely. It shows you a prompt to buy a license for every few saves you make but that’s about it. Not invasive in my book. I also think people underestimate the amount of work that goes into building a good text editor and keeping it up to date over the years.

I don't understand why this makes Biden look bad if he was for this ban in the first place.

> after the democratic party decided that their winning strategy would be to villainize tech and emerging west coast values.

Trump proposed the TikTok ban and even tried to enforce it via executive action during his first term. He also said he would put Zuckerberg in prison and attacked big tech companies for almost a decade at this point. The reason Silicon Valley is aligning themselves with Trump’s administration is for strategic reasons. If there are any ideological reasons I doubt these would stand the test of pendulum shifts.

Republican speaker Johnson also still wants to enforce the ban and only considers Trump’s interference as a delay to have TikTok sold to a US entity (which the bill explicitly allows as an alternative): https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/speaker-johnson-2-...

The ban had bi-partisan support. So why should Biden stop it if he agrees with it? A major adversary (China) owns a main communication network in the US while the US and other Western countries are not allowed to operate such networks within China. You don’t have to agree with this of course but it’s not unprecedented for the US to restrict the reach of foreign governments. In the past radio waves were restricted in a similar sense.

The ban had bi-partisan support. Trump was initially for the ban and then changed his mind. On Aug. 6, 2020, Trump signed Executive Order 13942, which sought to ban TikTok in response to national security concerns. Courts struck it down.

He expressed his changed opinion in 2024. Was it because he met with Jeff Yass who holds 7% of ByteDance (which owns TikTok) and is a major Republican donor? Who knows.

But what is clear is that this is again morphing into a talking point against the Democrats even though all of this started with Trump initially.

The argument that an adversary should not have access to radio waves is definitely sound reasoning to me should the UK or the EU ever decide to ban Twitter/X.

> Trump is engaging in some light trolling here. He's going off script and just saying whatever comes across his mind.

>People shouldn’t take his threats literally - but you should take them seriously.

So, when Trump talks about possibly using force to annex Greenland or control the Panama canal we all should consider this trolling but you also want everyone to take it seriously. I understand you think you’ve made some nuanced point there, however this is a complete contradiction, if you aren’t aware. The lengths some people go to excuse, explain away and play down this man’s words is quite astounding.

> A slightly self-involved concern I have is that I like to prove that I’ve read it. This is more for me than for anyone else: I don’t like to recommend something if I’ve not read that thing myself, and sticking in a detail that shows I read past the first paragraph helps keep me honest about that.

I really like this approach. As a reader it also makes me more likely to click on a link when there’s some detail that goes beyond the headline.
