To be fair, I've never had an issue with drinking. I stopped in my mid twenties and haven't a drink in 20 years. But I never say I'm "sober" since that kind of insinuates it was a problem at one point. If someone offers me a drink, I just say "no thanks I don't drink."

If you think it would have taken a single engineer one year to do this, you must not work in the industry. This would have taken multiple engineers at least a year.

You want to be able to launch apps without unlocking your phone? Slippery slope.

But what if someone discovers a iOS 0day worth several million dollars and burns it to compromise your app specifically? /s

Nailed it. Assume your client is compromised and/or malicious regardless of how it was built.

If the wiki was configured to allow anyone to edit, they may have broken ToS at the very worst. Nothing illegal happened.

That's very different than popping an artifactory server with a 0day.

Oh I thought make it official meant consummating the marriage in front of everyone. If it meant making it an official marriage, I agree.

Agreed. Before I had finished reading, I honestly thought you declined the $100 because everything ended up alright, you got to see some dolphins, and have a cool story to tell.

Exactly this. I know HN is obviously a very pro tech, pro science demographic, but I can't believe there's so little opposition to having our coasts littered with wind turbines.

I don't care how energy efficient it is. It's dystopian and depressing.

This makes the assumption that humans are needed to drive these AI assisted workflows. I don't think that's going to be the case at all.

The majority of office jobs are comprised of many simple tasks that current and, to an even greater extent, future, models can handle with ease.

Not all companies are looking for 10x productivity gains. I assume most of them probably just want to do exactly what they are doing now but with lower costs.

Elysium is playing out right before our eyes

1. Social media accounts with lots of engagement and high follower counts are worth big money these days. However, it takes a ton of effort to build that up organically. It's not difficult to see possible motives for something like this.

2. Leveraging their private APIs will get you banned even quicker than OPs method.

Some spaces just can't be "disrupted."

This was my first thought when I saw "travelers going between countries."

You're going to have a problem getting carriers to sign up because they are assuming all of the risk. Unfortunately, "oh you don't understand - I got paid $27 by CarrierPigeon™ to bring this unmarked, brick shaped package into the country" just isn't going to fly with customs/feds.

Genuinely curious what the [morally] good use cases for Sora would be.

From a technical standpoint, this is pretty cool. From a human standpoint, this feels so unbelievably dystopian.

Thanks! Just grabbed one.

By time I got signed in, I missed the early adopter spots. Any chance you could open up a couple more?

I think the evil part is putting it in the hands of the general public. The ability to create propaganda and deep fakes gives everyone a powerful tool for manipulation. The rich and powerful are going to do whatever the want, anyway. Everyone having access to that same tool doesn't make it any less dangerous.

There's nothing inherently evil about a knife. Standing outside of a high school and handing a knife to every kid walking in is pretty evil though.

You can set that globally but override at the individual entry.

It's been able to run on A series chips for a while. I don't think that's what's preventing MacOS on iPad. It's that the OS is not optimized for touch in any way. Too many small things to click. It's just not the kind of half-baked experience Apple would put their name behind. Likely the same reason why you haven't seen a touchscreen on a Mac.

The commercial was essentially announcing their partnership with Flock

Don't forget about the facial recognition any time you go through a toll booth

Mass unemployment would/will be the catalyst to mass uprising. All of the fuel is in place (ICE, Epstein, rising costs of everything, unaffordable housing, general lack of hope and faith in the government, etc.) High unemployment numbers will be the spark that sets it all ablaze.

If you could write drivers in javascript, it probably would have done just fine /s

I'm a senior engineer and have no degree. I never get offended by people making comments like this. If we're both in similar roles, making quality contributions, and are progressing in our careers, the only difference between us is, I didn't spending 50k-100k on a degree.

Sounds more like a knock on the person making the comment than it is on me.

Seems like everything is a hot button topic these days. Even things like movies get connected to a hot button in one way or another.

Couldn't agree more. Squash merges to main ONLY.

That way, I don't care if your branch contains 100 commits or 1 commit. I don't need to worry about commit messages like:

- fix 1

- fix 2

- dfljfdlkfdj

- does it work now?

Do whatever you want with your commits on your feature branch. Just make sure the title of your PR is clean and follows our formatting. Git history is always well formatted and linear.

It's the ideal solution.

Captcha is only effective at annoying legitimate users. If there is any incentive to do so, bots have no problem bypassing/solving them.
