thuridas··on Tesla Roadster
Like the people who get trapped in case of accident when the electricity fail and is burned inside?
thuridas··on Ask HN: What are you reading?
10x Org.

I am fed up of this "you should be fast with AI" and this book explains how your can really improve the global performance.

Not super complex. It is written so even management should understand it. But it makes you think about your organización.

Like the Ferrari paradox: give everybody in the city a Ferrari and the traffic won't improve or even be worse. The same with AI

thuridas··on 'We hacked the FBI:' Hackers say they have data on all FBI employees
And, was this system exposed to internet without any VPN? Out was it also compromised?
thuridas··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says
Nothing wrong in their to help.

But if you only help based on the colour of the skin... That's a little bit racist.

Also, as far as I know there is not persecution in South Africa. Trump used photos from the wrong conflict. And there are really bad things happening in Africa... but not to white people

thuridas··on Magnifica Humanitas
Note that, as anybody, the Catholic Church may have is bias.

For example. Their dualist view of the world makes them see AI as something very different from human intelligence. So, without having read it, the church may negate that it could be at human level. A few years ago that would negate that computers could be creative because they do not have a soul.

Anyway, kudos for focussing on the important issues and the impact on human.(And less on sex)

thuridas··on Italy moves to Airbus A330 tankers
Can you lobby to make Trump become not Trump?
thuridas··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says
Ethic cleansing is something much worse when that race you are "cleansing" is already living there (Israel removing Palestinian from Gaza)

The accusations is just racism. The fact that Trump gave extra fast visas to white South Afrikaans makes you think that there were some racial reasoning there.

In the last decades the whole world is more global.

thuridas··on CISA Admin Leaked AWS GovCloud Keys on GitHub
DOGE was the culture of let's do things fast!!

I can imagine CISA reducing personal and subcontracting work to some cheap company to save money

thuridas··on 5x5 Pixel font for tiny screens
Some non-ascii characters will be hard on 5x5 like ñ o É
thuridas··on Google broke its promise to me – now ICE has my data
Does this administration care to much about the law? A judge can rule something but they mostly keep doing the same thing.

Not to mention the supreme court that is willing to let this happen.

thuridas··on Mexican surveillance company Grupo Seguritech watches the U.S. border
The weapons flow from USA doesn't help.

US can afford to have militarized police with armoured cars. But the combination of drugs, poverty and weapons is very dangerous

thuridas··on Chuck Norris has died
And it is not as if he was great at acting or as martial artist.

Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan were in a completely different league.

thuridas··on 90% of crypto's Illinois primary spending failed to achieve its objective
I Will never understand why US allows this kind of political intervention.
thuridas··on Neurons outside the brain
What really called my attention is the personality change after transplants. I am not super sure about how good the science is.

Also. We are very neuro-centric, but the system also had all type of hormones and other chemical messages affecting it.

thuridas··on Surely the crash of the US economy has to be soon
You need US dollars because you have with US. Tarrifs hurt the need for dollars.
thuridas··on De-dollarization: Is the US dollar losing its dominance? (2025)
Having dollars was useful to trade with US. But the trade has been reduced by tariffs.

Also. Any attack to the independence of the federal reserve damages whee vale of the dollar

thuridas··on Statement by Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands,Norway,Sweden,UK
[flagged]
thuridas··on Some Epstein file redactions are being undone
Europe is already considering to have a nuclear shield.

This is because if Trump

thuridas··on Pornhub extorted after hackers steal Premium member activity data
But that transferred very sensitive data to a third party without anonymising the amount.

Just by replacing the email with a random anonymizedAccountId the impact would have been reduced from disaster to who cares. This was bad design from the start.

We may see some interesting news in a few days.

thuridas··on Airbus A320 Fly by wire corrupted by radiation in flight
That wasn't just automating... That was hiding the features from the manuals to avoid having to re train the flight crews.
thuridas··on Cognitive and mental health correlates of short-form video use
I would consider paying premium if they allowed me to disable shorts
thuridas··on The Miracle of Wörgl
They can hide wealth (at their own risk) but it prevent them from extracting money from the country:

The cannot own houses, factories, monopolistic contracts o media. It makes harder to influence politics ( in a legal way).

The housing issue is specially important because city space is limited and the demand is very inelastic

thuridas··on Alaska Airlines' statement on IT outage
Just by forcing to compensate passengers accordingly they would start to care more.

What is the lost productivity for having so many people waiting on airports?

But that is consumer protection regulation and it is not going to happen in America in a few years

thuridas··on America is getting an AI gold rush instead of a factory boom
Without post WW2 taxes.

Part of the problem is that a lot of the extra wealth ends invested in the house market. This increases the cost of terrains for both old and new homes. It is also not very productive just to buy one thing to extract rents from it. ( There is value in handling the rent, building or reforming and old house).

The urban land is limited and requires government infrastructure to connect it.

Another big cost is the university.

thuridas··on Pharma is a small component of US health care spending
Not only the drug has to be approved but the production process and laboratory.

There is a lot of bureaucracy and audits. It is but as if a European laboratory is allowed to sell a generic drug without at huge costs for certifications ( and viceversa)

I am not saying that buying your medicines to questionable online web is a good idea. Just that other countries have their own controls depending on their policies

thuridas··on Top Programming Languages 2025
I had this feeling when Kotlin (that took a lot of ideas from Scala)

Intellij tools are great.

thuridas··on Java 25 officially released
And there is Amazon Correcto, Eclipse Temurin...

Sure, that could stop to maintain it, but would put the power immediately in the hands of other companies with a fork

That said, you always have oracle's greediness...

thuridas··on Pontevedra, Spain declares its entire urban area a "reduced traffic zone"
I would say that the causality goes in the other direction. We have big stores Carrefour and even some Coscos, but not in the middle of walkable cities.
thuridas··on Mapping connections of anti-offshore wind groups and their lawyers
Electricity prices go up? Are you blaming the windmills? It should you blame the new AI data centers

And windmills are profitable by themselves. And reduces foreign imports with increasing taxes on this goods. If we removed all subsidies coal would be the real affected.

I am not sure about property value but burning gas next to homes creating health problems to power Elon musk data centers surely doesn't help. The dark fumes from coal, gas or oil are going to affect it.

thuridas··on US national debt reaches a record $37T, the Treasury Department reports
With less companies to compete you can expect it.

When Donald put tariff in dishwashers even the ones made in US rose it's prices.
