user9999999999··on Poorest US workers hit hardest by slowing wage growth
the min wage is long overdue, its should be somewhere near $25/hr this is how you 'tax' billionaires
user9999999999··on Show HN: Companies use AI to take your calls. I built AI to make them for you
This is great! Even without the LLM agent, async communication is so nice for low cog distracting customer service calls and holds. Why can't everyone just have an async comm universal chat interface? I guess this bridges the gap where the tech is legacy and or there is human involved. Can't wait to try it out!

user9999999999··on Show HN: I made an app that lets you save audio to your Cameral Roll
this is so obvious when you think about it. Historically sharing audio has been so incredibly difficult because of the DRM of music and its history of sharing since napster. video always gets the pass.
user9999999999··on Trump's NASA cuts would destroy decades of science and wipe out its future
> or make the world a better place.

Exactly. The past 163 days have only been about hurting people and cutting things down. There's no hopeful or optimistic rhetoric. Its just hate after hate after hate and blame.

You cannot build a great country on this. But you most certainly can tear one down.

user9999999999··on The first big AI disaster is yet to happen
the first 'ai disaster' will be a corp shirking responsibility by blaming their unchecked automatic bureaucratic processes on ai. Look no further at what HERTZ did sending out automated arrest warrants for erroneous causes, leading to dangerous confrontations with armed police. Luckily no one was killed, but innocent law abiding people were very traumatized.

This was without 'ai' but the blame was nearly close, "oops automated process did it!"

The 'artificial intelligence' has been here (starts with B). Kafka wrote about it comically.

user9999999999··on A look at Cloudflare's AI-coded OAuth library
why on earth would you code oauth in ai at this stage?
user9999999999··on Abundance Starts with Mobility
Do not act like cars are the only way for transport. Less cars means more modes of transport. More options means mobility. Cars and their parking and road infra exceed at providing ON DEMAND transportation. Beyond that their storage and use and prioritization makes other modes of transportation less able. - So its the other way around. Less cars, more mobility
user9999999999··on Abundance Starts with Mobility
Prioritize trees over roads
user9999999999··on Converting a Git repo from tabs to spaces (2016)
whitespace is a terrible block scope definition, its literally using 'invisible' characters to determine block scope! just use semi colons. LONG LIVE SEMI COLONS ;;;;;;;;;;;

user9999999999··on U.S. Economy Contracts at 0.3% Rate in First Quarter
funny you assume rational thought has a hand in this
user9999999999··on U.S. Economy Contracts at 0.3% Rate in First Quarter
literally handed an economy which was recovering quicker than the rest of the world...
user9999999999··on U.S. Economy Contracts at 0.3% Rate in First Quarter
"listen up liberal"
user9999999999··on Generative AI is not replacing jobs or hurting wages at all, say economists
It shouldn't. Its propaganda spread by VCs and ai 'thought leaders' who are finally seeing a glimmer of their fantastical imagination coming to life (it isn't)
user9999999999··on In Jail Without a Lawyer: How a Texas Town Fails Poor Defendants
The state has nearly unlimited power and resources to build a case against you. They also have nearly zero risk to the outcome. Merely being taken to court is already material loss to you. How is that fair?
user9999999999··on I won't connect my dishwasher to your cloud
reminds me of some dystopian short story I read somewhere, where society moves to a nearly full advertising economy, and everyone has to be an influencer about all the food / things they consume for the day, streaming themselves on camera live 24/7
user9999999999··on The Internet Slum: is abandoning the Internet the next big thing? (2004)
if that's true, that's extremely rage inducing. also that sounds like an accessibility violation. which town is this?
user9999999999··on uv downloads overtake Poetry for Wagtail users
is it me or is there a new python dependency manager every year?
user9999999999··on In S3 simplicity is table stakes
whoops. I was wrong! you can store base64 encoded metadata in the object then run a HEAD request to get it, but its limited to 2kb. also, you ~can~ query the metadata, but its latency is more suited to batch processing and not lambdas
user9999999999··on In S3 simplicity is table stakes
if only metadata could be queried without processing a csv output file first, imagine storing thumbnails in there even! copied objects had actual events, not something you have to dig cloudtrail for, you could get last update time from a bucket to make caching easier

how awesome would it be to have multiple login accounts? Or what if you could run macOS on this?
user9999999999··on NCSC, GCHQ, UK Gov't expunge advice to "use Apple encryption"
I'm always curious about the digital rights erosion. The frog boiling in a pot is a pretty apt metaphor. At what point do we throw are hands up and just assume all channels of communication are compromised to the point its public.
user9999999999··on A Letter to the American People
when can i expect the upside to this? Will it come in dollars? Will I save $10 a year now at the expense of a gov capable of building scalable web apps?

Pooling money and resources will always be greater in quality efficiency and quantity than individual or privatized effort. Think about how inefficient decentralized blockchain computations are.

gutting gov services for measly tax cuts is atrocious and an attack on American people.

More or less trained LLMs are obfuscating "stolen" training data. The status quo used to call this sort of thing theft and piracy
