sporkxrocket··on Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not
Going to the moon is very much vaporware. Maybe the penultimate example of it.

More Musk vaporware.
sporkxrocket··on Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not
Musk constantly promises to build things that never get built. He's 99% vaporware. Unless it actually exists, it's safe to assume that it never will.

These don't exist.

What moon bases?
sporkxrocket··on Israel demanded Google and Amazon use secret 'wink' to sidestep legal orders
Yes.

sporkxrocket··on Tesla Q3 2025 Update
I’ll give it to you for predicting the never ending stream of idiots! This stock is single-handedly going to bring down capitalism someday when reality hits. I do think there has to be more than just Elon fanboys emptying their savings though. Somehow they’re pumping this thing with billions of dollars.
sporkxrocket··on Tesla Q3 2025 Update
You can only move the goalposts so far.
sporkxrocket··on We tested 20 LLMs for ideological bias, revealing distinct alignments
I don't think they accurately labeled the progressive position. Most of the models are pro-establishment news, pro-British monarchy, pro-border restrictions, pro-political elites, pro-Israel, pro US involvement in Taiwan, pro-NATO and pro-military. They seem very conservative or neoliberal but definitely not progressive.

The extremely pro-Israel bias in gpt-5 should not be surprising as the Head of Research for OpenAI has openly called for the destruction of Palestinians:

sporkxrocket··on Tesla Q3 2025 Update
It's down over 4%.
sporkxrocket··on Tesla Q3 2025 Update
The stock is literally down 3% after hours.
sporkxrocket··on Tesla Q3 2025 Update
Yes, every single earnings call has contained verifiable lies.
sporkxrocket··on Tesla Q3 2025 Update
Musk can only commit financial fraud for so long before it all comes crashing down. 40B in the bank most definitely does not justify a 1.4T valuation. We’ve witnessed a public securities crime the likes of which the world has never seen before. It makes Enron look like IBM.
sporkxrocket··on Tesla is heading into multi-billion-dollar iceberg of its own making
We created Sarbanes-Oxley after Enron and made it very difficult to go IPO, yet somehow TSLA is allowed to engage in blatant and obvious fraud. Musk lies in every shareholder meeting and is rewarded with hundreds of billions of dollars. I can't think of another case of financial fraud at this scale that is allowed to go completely unchecked.
sporkxrocket··on Tesla is at risk of losing subsidies in Korea over widespread battery failures
Where can I buy a Tesla robot?
sporkxrocket··on After nine years of grinding, Replit found its market. Can it keep it?
Amjad is one of the only leaders in tech (along with Paul Graham) speaking out against Israel's apartheid and genocide. He also happens to be Palestinian. I will happily give him my money and invest in ethical platforms. Replit's a really good option for AI coding anyway!
sporkxrocket··on How A Scottish maritime museum ended up in Israel's 3D propaganda videos
It's propaganda and the point is to manufacture consent to bomb hospitals.
sporkxrocket··on Who owns Express VPN, Nord, Surfshark? VPN relationships explained (2024)
I don't see China as my adversary so that's not an issue for me. If anything they provide a much welcome alternative to both Israeli spy tech and US spy tech.
sporkxrocket··on Who owns Express VPN, Nord, Surfshark? VPN relationships explained (2024)
This is exactly what I've done when possible. I have no problem with China.
sporkxrocket··on The ruin of Gaza: how Israel's two-year assault has devastated the territory
You're going to need to provide some documentation to back up your claim. Fighting hasn't slowed. They've been killing roughly 100 Palestinians a day. Most of the killings are documented by people on the ground.
sporkxrocket··on The ruin of Gaza: how Israel's two-year assault has devastated the territory
This is false. Reporting has slowed down as the hospitals have all been bombed. They don't use a "Google form", almost all of the infrastructure in Gaza has been destroyed by Israel during the genocide.
sporkxrocket··on Who owns Express VPN, Nord, Surfshark? VPN relationships explained (2024)
I avoid it whenever possible, especially when we're talking about VPNs of all things. It's funny that you mention medicine because we all use Nazi technology and medical advancements too. Having zero ethical boundaries does indeed mean you can make technological progress.
sporkxrocket··on Bari Weiss named editor in chief of CBS News
That's fair enough. I would definitely define CBS News (not local news from CBS affiliates) as very much having an elderly audience and being propaganda. This move to place Weiss isn't that out of place from that perspective.

A better analogy would be: would you use Nazi technology? There were roughly 8.5 million Nazis.

Talking about the breath of which Israel has compromised our technology is actually helping to make my point. They're operating a comprehensive surveillance network and have the ability to literally plant explosives in our consumer devices.

Can you control the geography of the exit node? I really like Private Relay but it doesn't get around geo restrictions because the IP is still in the same country you are.

Unit 8200 is part of the IDF and contributing to those war crimes. I as a consumer only need to consider my own risk profile, not the politics of an entity that's committing acts I consider to be terrorism.
