Fallout 4 is better anyway.

How does this work? Link doesn’t talk.

Honestly, I think there are just a lot of really naive people who visit this site… and I think there are a lot of bad actors here who are complicit too.

Anyone who’s been in the game for more than a few years knows how amoral companies are. Marketers and growth PMs are incentivized to convert, regardless of the methods used. Execs don’t give a shit unless there’s an impact on revenue.

Anecdata - I PM a product suite that serves growth/marketers. If you’re reading this, your company has probably used it, is actively using it, or has considered using it. I regularly ask customers and prospects about their KPIs during research calls - in the end, conversion is all that matters.

Could you imagine if the UK was just… cut off from the rest of the western internet?

What a time to be alive.

So glad we threw that tea into Boston harbor

The article says that Tesla knowingly overestimated their numbers. Tesla even switches the range algorithm to be more accurate when mileage gets to 50%.

Most of these people seem to think one to two quarters at a time, so anything longer than that doesn’t matter. Just my $0.02

Why don’t we reduce this down a bit? Hollywood studios are businesses. Businesses exist to create value for owners. Hollywood talent is expensive. AI tends to be much less expensive. Hollywood studio execs believe they might be able to replace expensive talent with cheap AI, thus creating more value for owners.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Right, but that won’t happen until things become sufficiently painful enough (for the masses or corporate profits or both). Not ideal, but that’s the world we live in.

The simple reason is usually the best - it works

I mean… contextually, it kinda has been for the past decade if you’ve been in tech.

It’s only starting to matter now because those fictional numbers are starting to become very real, very fast, given the current state of interest rates.

Let us know if/when you figure out how to find communities. Discoverability seems to be a real problem with Lemmy.

4. Most people are idiots.

The older I get, the more I go with #4

Quora content is so blatantly useless these days. I haven’t seen a single useful piece of information on that site in years.

Dunno. It does feel as if discourse on HN has become less thoughtful and more angry/Reddit-esque…

Is PM not consulted for changes like this? I feel like this is something that a competent PM would ask eng to pause on while they determined actual user impact and lines up messaging.

Sounds like you should get up to date on US terms then, since they’re what matter.

Hey can we save this kind of comment for Reddit? Literally the majority the tech you use today was born from companies that were unprofitable and leveraged VC funds at some point.

I don’t know about you, but I come to HN for discourse that I could not get on race-to-the-bottom social media sites.

Older I get, more I realize that this game is brutal as shit. Is what it is though. Kill or be killed.

Can you even downvote on HN?

E: For reference, I wouldn’t downvote this because it ain’t wrong.

How do I install one on mobile?

Ok. Do you realize that most of us are the shareholders? This is a Fortune 500 company. Most of our 401ks include blended Fortune 500 holdings.

I keep hearing this rhetoric around social media… Do people not realize that there is a cost to our retirement funds always having to increase in value?

I mean, dark mode would be nice.

This is how it played out in Austin, which may or may not be the protest you’re referring to.

IMO, the biggest issue here is that no one has any patience for anything anymore (outside of what they’re getting paid to be thoughtful about), so nuance has gone out the window.
