defer to the AI

The 30,000 number in the blog is the number of changes landing per day, not per month!

The author is a woman, not sure why you assumed they identifed as he/him.

I'm quite curious to know what kind of systems / software do you work on?

There's thousands of species of mosquitoes, and we could get rid of the small number of disease carrying ones at least - https://worksinprogress.co/issue/mosquitoes-are-a-choice/

> it’s technically considered East Asia

This phrasing seems odd, considering that those two countries are firmly in East Asia, and would not be considered as a part of SE Asia by any definition.

> Confluent is seemingly decimated

Hm, care to elaborate? It looks like they've retained most of the engineering team and day-to-day priorities for Confluent / Kafka probably haven't changed much.

> waste your time

Do you not read any fiction at all? Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

There's tons of Indians in Cupertino and Mountain View as well, so I don't know what your comment was trying to prove, apart from openly displaying your prejudice and racism.

HN can be pretty weird with +1 kind of comments.

If a comment gets flagged enough, it gets marked as "dead". There's a show dead option you can enable in your HN profile settings to still be able to see such comments though.

There's dozens of cities and towns named San José globally.

> does the article end at "How do we balance the risks of broad access to AI with the risks of concentrated power and centralized control?" or is there more that is paywalled?

That's how the article ends; The Guardian doesn't have a paywall (yet).

> Professionally, I see people largely falling into two camps: those that augment their reasoning with AI, and those that replace their reasoning with AI. I’m not too worried about the former, it’s the latter for whom I’m worried.

Yep, it's a low sulfur, lower volatility gasoline blend (https://thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/how-california-reg...) which apparently cuts harmful exhaust emissions like carbon monoxide and NOx.

> competent replacement for Google Maps

Maybe in the US and a handful of other countries. See the replies on this thread talking about various issues with using Apple Maps elsewhere - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47840219#47840616.

It's exactly the other way around actually, continental US would include Alaska since it's still on the North American continent whereas contiguous US excludes both Hawaii and Alaska. Contiguous US refers to the lower 48 states.

> 12-15K feet just isn’t that high in the scheme of things. Many peaks in the western US are in that range or more.

The highest peak in the contiguous United States is Mt. Whitney at ~14.5k feet

I don't disagree with your overall point, but how's an S22 ultra a "medium range Android"?

And the UK is not Venezuela.

The Guardian is not an American newspaper.

Yeah, this article is quite funny in the context of today's men's tennis landscape, where an entire generation of players (90s born) were effectively blocked from the big prizes by being sandwiched between two generations of all time greats. Money is obviously an important factor in the growth and development of most athletes, but the article seems to be downplaying the importance of inherent talent and ability in sport.

Sorry for the pedantry, but "thought" and "taught" are actually phonetically different (/θɑːt/ vs /tɑːt/).

> most of the credit for a huge company's success goes to the CEO who gets 100X the salary of a regular worker while delivering usually pretty much nothing

Well, in Confluent's case I'm not so sure that's true given that their CEO is also the company founder as well as one of the original authors of Apache Kafka.

They've not yet clarified whether the visa fee is applicable to a change of status from within the U.S. which is used by people on other non-immigrant visas. The most common one being the student pathway transitioning from an F-1 visa after graduating.
