The Raspberry Pi era is well and truly over IMO. Nobody will spec them for new projects at these prices and unless you absolutely need the specific combination of size, power consumption and GPIO there are much better options for almost any application. ESP32s and other dirt-cheap microcontrollers with radios on the low end, new or used mini PCs or even full desktops on the high end. Consider the fact that this new $385 price tag *still* does not include:

* A case

* A cooler

* A power supply

* Storage (SD card or NVMe SSD... the latter of which requires yet another purchase in the form of an NVMe hat)

Stick a fork in it, it's done.

Yeah, it manages to feel terse and yet overly-verbose all at once. Human language without human taste. And like most AI-generated content once you've suffered through a few of these "articles" they all start to look the same... because they are.

We're socializing the costs of everything else. I'd much rather my tax dollars go to pizza delivery (and single-payer healthcare) than lining the pockets of tech monopolists and the military-industrial complex.

Yes, anything that potentially costs Elon Musk money is objectively a good thing. :)

Yeah, who does the Internet Archive think it is, (insert literally any AI company here)?

This couldn't be further from the truth. The indie web was exciting because it was the product of distinct human voices. LLMs only speak in one voice (with subtle differences between the major models but similar "tells"). This is why so many people have such an immediate and visceral negative reaction to AI slop. It is distinctly lacking the human spark and it is uncanny and off-putting in that way.

What I always find interesting is how folks like DHH love to cloak themselves in righteousness saying they're making a place away from "those people" where everyone can feel welcome "regardless of their beliefs." Beliefs like what, DHH? Why not just come out and say what you mean if it's nothing to be ashamed of?

Or maybe societies could instead make the prospect of having children less onerous? It's not an uncommon story in America that a couple will choose to stay unmarried when having children so that the mother can qualify for benefits like childcare (which, if you haven't had children yourself, is staggeringly expensive when it's available at all).

To think that the solution here is to penalize women even more is insane.

AI industry profits have and will continue to be privatized while the enormous costs of job displacement (to name just one of many negative externalities) will be gleefully socialized. We've seen this film before.

Praying that this means the bubble is finally (inevitably) beginning to burst.

Give that a try and let us all know how it goes. :)

Fine, the Hank Green.

Tailwind is just CSS so there's no lock-in to speak of and no migration necessary. If you had a specific instance where Tailwind wasn't a good fit you can just hand-write as needed.

Sure, if you wanted to stop using Tailwind altogether you would have a lot of rewriting to do but I'm not sure how that's uniquely different or worse than, say, migrating a project from React to Angular.

The BeOS aesthetic has aged so well. I'll always wonder what might've been had they not been deliberately smothered in the crib (or at the very least if Apple had chosen to acquire them).

You can save a lot of time and just say you're voting for the current regime because that's exactly what "throwing your ballot in the trash" accomplishes.

You can tell conservative opinions are censored and suppressed by the way they're constantly shoved down our throats every hour of every day.

Running with ANC headphones on is like driving with your eyes closed. Safety is a two-way street and it's everyone's responsibility to maintain a basic level of situational awareness.

Really starting to feel like I'll need to look for an offramp from this industry in the next couple of years if not sooner. I have nothing in common with the folks who would happily become (and are happily becoming) AI slop farmers.

It's a speculative instrument useful for enabling criminal activity and not much else.

No big deal for people who know how to do their job.

You just know Elon could announce that product, call it "GoldX" and sell millions overnight. He never seems to run out of greater fools.

They're sort of damned if they do and damned if they don't, aren't they? If they make traffic stops for speeding people will moan about how they're just trying to meet quotas or ask why they aren't going after "real criminals."

People just want to drive irresponsibly and they will invent any reason to justify why they're the victim, actually.

Why not share your own thoughts rather than this LLM slop? Or maybe this is just a bot account. Either way, disappointing to see on HN.

I wouldn't expect to hear back. GP is either a troll or a cultist or both.

Maybe you could share some of his well-reasoned positions with us, then? :)

Social media is a poison and Mr. Adams drank deep from the well. It's a shame.

God, I was so hopeful that you were joking but I guess I should know better by now.

It may seem cute but economies only do this when they are very stressed.

Ironic, given Sam Altman's entire fortune and business model is predicated on the infantilization of humanity.

Late-stage capitalism in action. We have companies that are so insanely rich (despite losing equally insane amounts of money) that they can single-handedly corner worldwide markets for critical components in a brazen attempt to hurt the competition, and nobody will do a single thing about it.
