jmorenoamor··on Utah to let AI examine patients and prescribe medication without human oversight
The wind, the universe, that statistic function you studied and forgot after passing the exam.

Don't worry, it's going to be ok... probably.

jmorenoamor··on Utah to let AI examine patients and prescribe medication without human oversight
Is it already a cliché to cite Idiocracy?
jmorenoamor··on Factorio that you can touch
Monday? Of which month?
jmorenoamor··on The Board Game of the Alpha Nerds (2014)
You better have a great relationship and frustration tolerance to play this. Backs are going to be stabbed like nowhere else.
jmorenoamor··on Why are European countries moving their gold out of North America?
Sorry but no "unless" left IMO. China has been and is still gaining momentum in every strategic matter, and they are very probably going to lead from now on.

What I am curious about is how that global leadership is going to change them, from citizens to government.

jmorenoamor··on Dwarf Fortress is getting the mother of all magic updates
You made me feel good, looks like we shared those moments. Have a hugh and a beer mate.
jmorenoamor··on Coconut oil jet fuel matches kerosene's efficiency in engine tests
Using food as fuel is not a good idea.
jmorenoamor··on Stop Making TUIs
A good UI can be text, graphic, voice, etc.

I enjoy the usability and self perceived speed of not having to leave the console or reach the mouse to move a pointer when a cople of key presees is enough.

It's a matter of choice, I know, but I also think there is a genuine case for text over graphics. I see it everyday on businesses that keep old cobol tpvs at the cash, the speed at which the clercks check inventories or perform other crm activities is unmatched to mouse or touch interfaces

jmorenoamor··on Japan tried to build an operating system for the world, the US intervened
We usually point conspiration theories with fun (with a reason) but it's also surprising how some "success" narratives are based on a government killing competition.
jmorenoamor··on Stop Making TUIs
No. I like them.
jmorenoamor··on France to ban unsolicited telemarketing calls
Marketers ruin every sales channel they can, it's their nature.
jmorenoamor··on Why Is Europe Burning?
Climate conditions raise the probability of wild fires, dryer plants, deyer aquifers and wetlands.

Abandoned rural areas mean less "organic housekeeping" of them. Pastures and forests are no longer maintained by local population.

As I ser it it's a matter of higher risk plus lower boundaries for the fires when they start.

jmorenoamor··on Azulejo
Well, being able to chat about arts and culture is a nice surprise in the current sea of AI slop.
jmorenoamor··on Azulejo
You will find great artista in Spain and Portugal. I can recommend you Talavera de la Reina in Toledo, Spain. It has a centuries old tradition of producing quality ceramics.
jmorenoamor··on Leaded gas was a known poison the day it was invented (2016)
What does lead have to give those properties?
jmorenoamor··on Single Dose of Frog-Derived Gut Bacterium Eradicates 100% of Tumors in Mice
Sorry but the site looks too sensationalist for me.

Is there any other source?

jmorenoamor··on Instagram is incorporating users' photos in ads for Meta Glasses
Why? Because they can, and they will.

Leaving these services looks difficult or impossible, until you do it, and the world just keeps spinning.

jmorenoamor··on Why are we so obsessed with lawns?
Agree.

I prefer having a vegetable garden that just plain grass, it's way more rewarding.

jmorenoamor··on Bobby Prince, composer for Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, and Duke Nukem 3D, has died
His name will be remembered forever in the industry.

Thanks for being a great part of my childhood.

Farewell.

jmorenoamor··on Trial of 12mph bike lane speed limit grinds gears of Dutch cyclists
The boundary between a bicycle and a motorbike has completely dissapeared.

That boundary needs to be recovered, and then rules will make sense again, until then, any effort is futile.

jmorenoamor··on Apple Watch for Your Kids
This is crucial, and at the same time difficult now that I am a parent. Part of my childhood was stretching limits, going past that street because there was a cool shop or place I wanted to see, returning home one or two hours later that I should have because I was having fun.

Now I try to avoid the temptation of control, I have the tools and the skills to easily do it, and it's a daily struggle to say "let them go"

jmorenoamor··on Ask HN: What is your (AI) dev tech stack / workflow?
A browser tab with Claude to ask questions while I code.
jmorenoamor··on Mathematicians issue warning as AI rapidly gains ground
Sorry but I couldn't agree less.

Deep esoteric research and trivial looking boring research can be as useful as state of the art trending areas.

"Jobs for nerds" as has been stated, has given surprising and unexpected advances, or leveraged incredible advancements.

An standard and boring bacteria in a specific Spanish biome, gave us CRISPR-Cas. There ar hundreds of examples.

True knowledge is, and will be, a human endeavor, deiven by human curiosity. Promoting curiosity is the sign of a developed society.

jmorenoamor··on Spain blocks prediction markets Polymarket, Kalshi over lack of gambling licence
Ludopaths often try to put on the same level national lotteries with sports betting and other means of information based betting.

Not a fan of lottery myself, but at least it's just some random numbers drawn from a drum. There is hardly any dark pattern or illegal incentive there. It is just you against Thomas Bayes.

jmorenoamor··on “Kitten Space Agency”, a Spiritual Successor to “Kerbal Space Program” (2025)
Rescue missions were one of the funniest and challenging parts of KSP, and a cannonical meme of the community.

Day -1 mod will bring space frogs back.
jmorenoamor··on HashiCorp co-founder says GitHub 'no longer a place for serious work'
Now I understand why my ArgoCD randomly shows sync problems saying it cannot access GitHub
jmorenoamor··on What killed the Florida orange?
No need for huge and complex machines, this is all you need if you have a grocery shop or a coffee shop: https://www.pepebar.com/c/1956-0_thumb/M%C3%A1quinas%20de%20...

You push the white lever and juice comes out. In grocery shops it's customer operated.

That's incredibly creepy tbh
