throwacct··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
The entire point of the 1st Amendment is to protect the citizens from being thrown in jail or being prosecuted for speaking against the government.

Where do you see that here? The FCC chairman just said that "...broadcasters are entirely different than people that use other forms of communication. They have a license granted by is at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest".

According to the latest iteration, his right-wing family said he was left-wing and even neighbors saw him with his roommate.

Freedom of speech is protected. That people are celebrating a man's death, and worse yet, justifying it, is evil but still protected. But what's not protected is the consequences of these actions. I don't want to live, work, etc... next to someone who thinks that it's ok to commit acts of violence against others just because we don't share the same views.

throwacct··on Ask HN: Is anyone else sick of AI splattered code
I'm using "AI" almost exclusively to scaffold projects. I spent 2 days trying to find the reason the code wasn't working the way it supposed to work. Where I work we're using it with moderation, knowing that if you generate code, you must double check everything and confirm that what you generated doesn't smell. You'll be held accountable if something brakes because you were eager to push unreviewed code.
throwacct··on Not Buying American Anymore
"Free market with open competition" works when countries play fair. China doesn't play fair. What you propose is to decimate the car industry (your example) and be dependent on foreign actors. Extrapolate that to every industry, and now you have a shell of a country. Late-stage capitalism is equally bad as a "free-for-all" market.
throwacct··on Women dating safety app 'Tea' breached, users' IDs posted to 4chan
Hahaha. Bet money they left everything accessible just by signing in into the app.

This x100.
throwacct··on Man wearing metallic necklace dies after being sucked into MRI machine
I came here to say the same thing.
throwacct··on 'Europe must ban American Big Tech and create a European Silicon Valley'
Only the EU? Most of the world is like that.
throwacct··on The Architecture Behind Lovable and Bolt
This is a sane approach. I'll try to propose this to the team to see if this sticks, hehe.

Is this similar to the "vibe" code tool sold to Wix?
throwacct··on Facebook is starting to feed its AI with private, unpublished photos
I don't care if they label me a weirdo. I agree with OP. Please refrain from posting any pictures of my children. Simple as that.
throwacct··on Project Vend: Can Claude run a small shop? (And why does that matter?)
I don't think any decision maker will let LLMs run their business. If the LLMs fail, you could potentially lose your livelihood.

This x100. B2B is a different monster altogether.
throwacct··on Base44 sells to Wix for $80M cash
We're still in the "gold rush" era: The guy and his team sold a company that sells "shovels" in a crowded market. Good for him for capitalizing on this.

throwacct··on The Unreliability of LLMs and What Lies Ahead
This. I use LLMs for some tasks, but for more complex issues, I do it myself. I tried to use it for a project by defining each task as clearly as possible, and I spent weeks trying to come up with something useful. Mind you, I achieved 80% of what I wanted after iterating and "telling" the chat that their answers were wrong, and going over the code to double-check if everything was okay. Now I use it for specific, simple tasks if these are work-related, and then use it for random kinds of stuff that I can verify by going to the actual source.
throwacct··on Judge said Meta illegally used books to build its AI
Only Facebook?!!
throwacct··on U.S. Economy Contracts at 0.3% Rate in First Quarter
This. Sooner or later, this had to happen.
throwacct··on How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?
This 100x. This is the time to go all in and truly shake everything from the ground up. If the US moves at least 25% to the continent, it could solve lots of issues by developing manufacturing for critical products in-house and nearshoring the rest to LATAM, helping reduce illegal immigration considerably. Win-win for the whole continent.
throwacct··on I don't think I can trust Google as my search engine anymore
I've been using Brave Search for quite some time, and to be honest, their AI is okay. I rarely use Google anymore.
throwacct··on Tesla deliveries down 43% in Europe while EVs are up 31%
Tesla needs to develop an affordable car for emerging economies (LATAM, EMEA), and their stock will increase faster than before. China is dumping its cars on these markets like crazy and even then most people are reluctant to buy them.
throwacct··on 62% of Canadians Plan to Avoid the U.S. for at Least the Next Year
Interesting. I'm not from the US or Canada, but are Canadians really going to "war" against the US? They're going to lose +400B in trade potentially. No markets are waiting for those products. Just "play ball" with Trump, spend more on border security, block any drugs from entering the country that might start with the letter "f" and be done with that.
throwacct··on The Era of Solopreneurs Is Here
So, dropshipping?
throwacct··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
This is the correct answer. Everyone here saying "We need to stand up to Putin..." won't be fighting on the frontlines and at worst, we can be entering WW3 if the US, Russia, and the EU keep escalating the conflict.
throwacct··on Microsoft deletes official Windows 11 CPU/TPM bypass for unsupported PCs
I don't regret switching to mac 2 years ago.
