Not everything is about money.

Because the model is owned by a for profit corporation, ran and owned by total psychos and the (presumably) competent teacher is a friendly uncle?

You're idea is well intentioned, but this legislation will be used by the well known platforms to burden the heterogeneous web and kill it with legislation.

What we need is a 2nd renaissance of small discussion forums. You don't need to use X, Facebook, instagram and the rest of the commercial web. Seek alternative, REAL COMMUNITIES.

It makes perfect sense the AGI would use the masses to dislodge the rich and powerful.

What do you mean, “our society”?

How do you know we live in the same place.

Perhaps where I live, efficiencies are to the benefits of everyone?

It will bring down the prices for nursing and allow more people who previously couldn't afford health care to afford it, theoretically.

If Gore had built a floating castle in the sky, a one off magical house, I’d say, he’s alright

Gore is a massive hypocrite and deserves the ridicule he gets.

No champion of the environment gallivants in a jet and lives in a mansion.

Not at all. Concentration of power has historically been extremely dangerous for the powerless.

You’re making a lot of assumptions not based on facts. Looks more like this to me: math wizards uses ChatGPT to assist solving a math problem. OpenAI gobbles up the prize.

Iraq was a disaster for the USA and created an insurmountable amount of debt.

Not sure why this is down voted.

“Go save the Jews” was hardly a motivating factor for any nation in the war.

You’re deluded.

Switzerland and Europe in general didn’t start a trade war against their long term ally. The USA did.

It makes sense to decouple yourself from a country that decided to vote in an unhinged con artist as their president that is actively hostile towards you.

How do you know what the majority of HN thinks?

We had it, it was called Windows 2000, and it was awesome. FreeBSD on the server and Windows 2000 on the desktop, a match made in heaven. It was a beautiful year.

Since then, computing has only deteriorated.

No, I didn't forget anything. Don't put words in my mouth.

I do not believe random Joe, even an intelligent one, will be able to build advanced software using LLMs in the near future.

Why could it not have intuition?

Hard disagree.

The AI is a fantastic assistive tool, and in many ways it surpass my skillset as a software developer(I'm a skilled software developer, although it's not my job).

However, I do not believe I would be able to build what I'm building using LLMs, without myself having the right skills.

The same way young Barron has $150m to his name? Through sheer corruption?

Bidens nepotism was small scale.

Donald Trump is burning down the country for his and his family’s wealth.

You don’t have to support either

So in the beginning of your paragraph you say it's "very different" depending on where you are in Europe, but towards the end, you generalise the entire continent.

I travel all over the world for work(Though mostly Europe) and my experience has been that Europe is a very diverse place.

Currently outside London where you can absolutely chat with random strangers(I'm from Sweden, so obviously I don't).

There are 150 nationalities in Zurich.

Indeed. Every time it is mentioned(without fail) how undemocratic the European Commission is, someone points out that the demos has a say via 3 levels of indirections. But that is not at all what democracy is all about.

I am supposed to have a say about how the country I live in is run. That is democracy. Not that I get to vote on a person who votes on a person who votes on another person who may or may not agree with me.

It's why I live in Switzerland now, and not the EU.

Being armed to the teeth is all you can do when your neighbour is Russia.

I just wish more of my Swedish countrymen understood that.

Frankly, I'd prefer the 70s remake.

I fly around the world for work. I have two laptops, plus a triple screen setup. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GTQZWG77/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_bdcrb...

1. You leave the company laptop at work(in my case, at site).

2. Get a lightweight laptop for yourself.

3. Get a proper travel laptop bag. I have this one from Brics

I find Claude to be extremely verbose and yapping a lot without saying much, plus the occasional marketing punchline.

Give me TERSE.

Uhm, seems to me the companies that are spearheading the rollout of electric vehicles will be still existing in the future.

BYD will dominate, not GM.

So it's not that you "prefer" native, it is that Apple are intentionally limiting PWAs in their capabilities?

I have built an application that I originally intended to be a PWA, but I had to make it a native application because how Apple are limiting many things for me.

It sucks because I now have to pay the apple tax and get "accepted" by Apple. Ironic, considering the original release of the iPhone, where web apps where the promise to us.
