nessbot··on Mac mini will be made at a new facility in Houston
Yeah, not denying the bribing. But that doesn't change tax law. It still needsto be passed by congress. Does it affect enforcement, though? maybe
nessbot··on Mac mini will be made at a new facility in Houston
Can one "cut a deal" with the IRS without it ending up in legislation (i.e. tax law)?
nessbot··on Officials Claim Drone Incursion Led to Shutdown of El Paso Airport
Murdering buses of people doesn't bring the full force of the US military on them. The difference is the risk not the depravity.
nessbot··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
He's not just the leader, he's the primary beneficiary, and he's a blatant white supremacist. He's arguably responsible for the deaths of over 1 million people world wide from his short tenure shutting down USAID[0]. So yeah, I'd say its more than fine to take pleasure in his failings.

nessbot··on House to investigate Wikipedia over allegations of organized bias
You're the one who made the claim. Do you have examples?
nessbot··on House to investigate Wikipedia over allegations of organized bias
Pleas name a website the government has shut down over bias.
nessbot··on House to investigate Wikipedia over allegations of organized bias
Yeah that'd be a very easy 1A case.
nessbot··on House to investigate Wikipedia over allegations of organized bias
I mean it is a "a pejorative term used to describe negative reactions to U.S. President Donald Trump..." How is having a page for that biased. And this is coming from some who has been described in the past (not anymore) of having TDS.
nessbot··on GPT-5: "How many times does the letter b appear in blueberry?"
Do bat's know what senses humans have? Or have the concept of what a human is compared to other organisms or moving objects? What is this analogy?
nessbot··on Replit's CEO apologizes after its AI agent wiped a company's code base
any of those pullin a profit?
nessbot··on Replit's CEO apologizes after its AI agent wiped a company's code base
Where's the big in-production use of this stuff in business that is making money and selling a product people use?
nessbot··on Replit's CEO apologizes after its AI agent wiped a company's code base
I don't want to be too inflammatory but seeing comments like this are what's poisoning AI to me more than the crappy products themselves. Of course the apology would suggest that, it would be business malpractice not to. However the history of results with these things shows otherwise so why put stock in the apology letter and not what has happened.

Also, sure people want that, but that doesn't mean it's a valid thing to want without putting the work in and once again, the history of these things being used shows that they don't really offer that. They offer the *feeling* of that which is good enough to get people's money, end products be damned. You could say the same thing about herion, tbh: "There are many people who don't wanna feel the crappiness of life, and these dealers are offering it."

nessbot··on Starcloud can’t put a data centre in space at $8.2M in one Starship
That didn't answer the question but just repeat the original claim differently. Where are they getting those numbers?
nessbot··on Show HN: SnapQL – Desktop app to query Postgres with AI
But it knows what you're querying, which depending on what you're doing may also give away a good bit about whats in the DB.
nessbot··on VC money is fueling a global boom in worker surveillance tech
No. I said "by definition" which means based on the meaning of the word not the context.
nessbot··on VC money is fueling a global boom in worker surveillance tech
I didn't say it was or was not unreasonable, I said it was surveillance by definition (i.e. based on what the world means).
nessbot··on VC money is fueling a global boom in worker surveillance tech
I mean regardless of whether it has value in being used, it's pretty much, by definition, "surveillance tech."
nessbot··on My AI skeptic friends are all nuts
Not if they only way you know how to code is vibe coding.
nessbot··on US Trade Court finds Trump tariffs illegal
Yeah I get personally being worried but it's a weird thing to post online because the implication shared is that it'd be better if he [was allowed to]* just abuse emergency powers.

*edit

nessbot··on US Trade Court finds Trump tariffs illegal
So he gets to flaunt the law because he's vindictive? Not a system I wanna live in.
nessbot··on AI can't even fix a simple bug – but sure, let's fire engineers
and my comment said "own and control" and later focused on "control".
nessbot··on AI can't even fix a simple bug – but sure, let's fire engineers
Good for them?
nessbot··on AI can't even fix a simple bug – but sure, let's fire engineers
It's not a tool its a SaaS. I own and control my tools. I think a John Deer tractor looses it's "tool" status when you can't control it. Sure there's the local models but those aren't what the vast majority of folks are using or pushing.
nessbot··on Show HN: Chat with 19 years of HN
Don't disagree, just saying it goes both ways. In your case you didn't care (not judging, I probably wouldn't either) about the opinions of the randos at the beach. However, in business, reputation does matter.

And don't mistreat peoples public data, and expect them to like or support you.

Sounds like the thought process behind this comment.
nessbot··on First American pope elected and will be known as Pope Leo XIV
No fan of the RC church here but I didn't hear any mocking. Just pointing out a counterfactual experience.
nessbot··on ICE Deports 3 U.S. Citizen Children Held Incommunicado Prior to the Deportation
You got a source for that? I've hear otherwise about some of the parent's decisions for their US citizen children.
nessbot··on Dear Lewis, my CEO wants AI to do it all. How do I argue for humans?
The humans, but now with a boss that values them a little more.
