You never know if learning calculus will make you discover new things that you might like to pursue. Also, you never know if you will need it or not apriori. By that logic, you shouldn't learn anything until you need it, wich I think would be a disaster.
Re:Ask HN: Do you think AI agents can escape human control? on Monday September 28, 2026 @12:55AM (#49873812)
The real problem is that there will always be bad actors that won't give a sht what AI might do, as long as it benefits them.
Re:SpaceX – Starship Flight 14 on Monday September 28, 2026 @12:52AM (#49873795)
"The booster’s primary test objective on Flight 14 will be executing a successful launch, ascent, stage separation, boostback burn, and landing burn at an offshore landing point in the Gulf of America."

Gulf of America? Really? F.U.

Can't they harness the heat to generate more electricity?
You just proved his point.

Boy, how I would like LG to be sued out of existence.
Re:Black hole singularity is a surface not a point on Tuesday August 25, 2026 @06:00PM (#49441283)
Doesn't that imply that, "everywhere" was, precisely, a single point?
I hate some airline polices as much as anyone, and it is absolutely terrible to loose a meeting, family reunion, cruise ship vacation, etc. for something like this, but it is way worse to die. If airlines compensated with whatever money you think you deserve, the tickets would cost way more than they already are. Shit happens. You are not entitled to compensation for everything shitty that happens in the world.

Is this enforced?

I just visited Lisbon, and their azulejos are fantastic. We also have great examples in Mexico. But, why was this posted in HN?
Re:How Olinia Turns Mexico's EV Ambition into Reality on Thursday July 30, 2026 @02:05PM (#49113495)
This is all populist BS that will lead nowhere. The current government is the most incompetent and corrupt ever. And we had a really low bar already.
Never understood why they are called hummingbirds. They sound more like squeekingbirds to me.

There is no way Olina will make it to market. It is another of the demagogic populist government's projects.
I'm tired of people jumping in to point out "AI, AI". The article is very good and informative. That is the only important thing. Geez.
Is he also proposing that the public carry the losses of AI companies that fail?
Re:GrapheneOS has been ported to Android 17 on Tuesday June 16, 2026 @06:39PM (#48563239)
Motorola is not mentioned in any of the links.
Pretty bad timing, I would say.
Why would anybody search, when you can just ask?

What has atheism anything to do with this?
I'm shocked!.... not
The word typing is wrong.

It is not about the speed of typing code.

Its about the speed of "creating" code: the boilerplate code, the code patterns, the framework version specific code, etc.

Re:Cloudflare acquires Astro on Tuesday January 20, 2026 @09:06AM (#46691949)
Ha, ha, sorry. English is not my native language.
Re:Cloudflare acquires Astro on Friday January 16, 2026 @12:47PM (#46649348)
For the perplex:

e.g. is latin for "exempli gratia" = for example i.e. is latin for "id est" = that is

I would argue against that! If anything, I hated the firs hybrids that where distinctly different, and ugly.

If one is looking for Java developers, it only makes sense to throw rails resumes in the trash. It will save time for both parties.
Pretty good actually. With the salt, lack of oxygen and pressure it can last quite a long time.
Re:Intel could return to Apple computers in 2027 on Monday December 01, 2025 @02:17PM (#46111745)
The very first sentence of the article: "Will Apple turn to Intel for production of its M-series chips in 2027? " So it is not returning to Intel architecture.
