kzs0··on When did AI take over Hacker News?
I’m relatively young and I noticed this trend in myself and my peers. I wonder if it has to do with the increasingly true fact that if you’re not one of the “best” you’ll be lucky to have some amount of financial stability. The stakes for kids have never been higher, and the pressure for perfection from their parents has similarly never been higher.
kzs0··on A message from Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan to all company employees
Wasn’t that in conjunction with the us govt essentially taking over gm though?
kzs0··on Bond rout starting to sound market alarm bells
I think that has to do with the rate at which it moved no?
kzs0··on Middle-aged man trading cards go viral in rural Japan town
Ngl that kind of pulls the fun out of it
kzs0··on Penn to reduce graduate admissions, rescind acceptances amid research cuts
His/her first statement was directly answered in the original comment. When that was noted, they swapped to undermining the basis for the comment. It’s pretty typical for techies to provide an opinion without basis and desire for it to be treated on the same level as those “in the know”

So everyone should always be included in conversations if desired, but coming in with an uninformed opinion spoken loudly, desiring more to be “right” than to come to an understanding, won’t typically be appreciated.

kzs0··on X users are unable to post “Signal.me” links
But how does any of that relate to banning signal links regardless? This is an effort to reduce self-organization and solidarity between affected normal people. It isn’t just USAID, 100,000+ people are being illegally terminated across the government (probationary employees who are only allowed to be fired for “performance,” but many/most have fine reviews and/or just started).

If a bunch of new people are being fired after having just moved or started new positions, why wouldn’t people try self organizing to support their coworkers who just had their lives upended?

kzs0··on Small Businesses vs. Corporations: What Tech Tools Are We Missing?
That’s true relative to a VC backed startup, but not necessarily true for bootstrapped or startups looking to create sustainable companies. Look at base camp for instance
kzs0··on Tesla excluded from EV buyer credits in California proposal
Why? It fosters competition and considering Tesla was heavily subsidized during its early years, it makes sense its competitors should have similar shots
kzs0··on How Japanese black companies oppress workers (2014)
1. Wasn’t the sitting leader 2. Assassination is predicated on politics/religion/“impetus greater than oneself.” The murder in this case was personal
kzs0··on USFS decision to halt prescribed burns in California is history repeating
Disagreed, the smoke impact alone affects huge swaths of high density (and deep blue) regions like the Bay Area. Additionally, controlled burns are most necessary in areas near density like the counties ringing the bay (that are still quite blue).
kzs0··on USFS decision to halt prescribed burns in California is history repeating
Depending on the severity of the fire (and wind conditions), defensible space will increase the chance your house survives but won’t save it. In Sonoma county, fires hopped over vineyards due to the high winds carrying embers and stuff actively burning hundreds of feet
kzs0··on An unordered list of things I miss in Go
In the cases where this is important, you can use pointers. Go allows you to make pointers to primitives as well (making the zero value nil) so you can explicitly define those edge cases.

You’d be surprised how infrequently that’s actually a concern though.
