The critic I see most frequently on the unprofitability of AI is Ed Zitron. I am sincerely curious if he shorted Facebook's, Amazon's, or Google's stocks. Or if he's in index funds which have tech stocks like those.
For example: I have index funds which have some of these stocks. So I, by process of revealed-preference, don't think it's a bubble, or I think I will keep my money in through the bubble's pop. I don't have that much else to say!
For the record: I would respect the creator of this site equally or more if he/she said, "I'm shorting these stocks and this is why."
The difference between say a think tank and an advocacy organization like "reclaimthenet.org" is a think tank hopefully feels obligated to think about, and pitch, a solution to the identified problem (spam calls).
Obviously reclaimthenet.org can post whatever they want on their site.
I'm curious about requiring all phone calls except to emergency services to cost a tenth of a cent. Or some amount that permits desired robocalling (prescription drug reminders for those not on the 'net) and excises spam calls.
I'd be curious why user NaOH chose to submit this. I'll offer a justification: it is notable that a car company lists all (I assume?) its past products, giving equal visual weight to the F50 (lauded today) and Mondial 8 (not lauded). By contrast, it's hard to find Ford talking about the Pinto: https://www.google.com/search?q=pinto+site%3Aford.com
Those are all situationally-valid criticisms, but I've long thought the ability to have smartphones' cameras cryptographically sign photos is good when available. The use case is demonstrating a photo wasn't doctored, and that it came from a device associated with e.g. a journalist, who maintains a public key. Of course, it should be optional.
In terms of that example: they should link to how they got those numbers, and it should state the benchmark used, the machines used, what they controlled for etc.
Apart from the style of the prose, which is my subjective evaluation: This blog post is "a view from nowhere." Tiger Data is a company that sells postgres in some way (don't know, but it doesn't matter for the following): they could speak as themselves, and compare themselves to companies that sell other open source databases. Or they could showcase benchmarks _they ran_.
Them saying: "What you get: pgvectorscale uses the DiskANN algorithm (from Microsoft Research), achieving 28x lower p95 latency and 16x higher throughput than Pinecone at 99% recall" is marketing unless they give how you'd replicate those numbers.
Point being: this could have been written by an LLM, because it doesn't represent any work-done by Tiger Data.
The font color implies this comment is downvoted, but I earnestly encourage readers to take very seriously the difference in SLOs and SLAs between high-cost vendors like AWS and GCP and low-cost vendors like DigitalOcean. Read their docs; do not assume DO is "the same, but lower cost."
Posting a quick TL;DW. A minute into the video Chuck Moore says that Windows updates (on 11 and 10) have caused colorForth to crash, with Chuck thinking it's a graphical problem. I may comment more, but I wanted to post this because I don't see it mentioned as a youtube comment.

The job as-written is mid-level, but you should apply if you are senior, too. I (a hiring manager) am interested in tracking HN applicants separately, so please send me ([email protected]) an email when you apply. Just a one-liner "I'm Rich Hickey and I applied via HN" is all you need, but feel free to say more.
Lowest plan:
"In times of congestion, your data may be temporarily slower than other traffic."
Upper plans:
"Get access to 50GB of 4G LTE premium data per month. ... . In times of congestion, your data may be temporarily slower than other traffic after exceeding 50GB/mo/line."
Of course, that's 4G, not 5G, but before they tell you whether or at what point they throttle 5G, I can't say what "having unlimited 5G" means.
For context, it looks like this means what a commenter on a Verizon forum says (quoting verbatim, looks like the GB numbers changed):
"Verizon has 3 levels of unlimited data plans. The cheapest one has the possibility of being "throttled" AT ANY TIME there is congestion on the local towers. The mid-tier has no throttling until you have used at least 22 GB in a month on a line. The highest tier has no throttling until you have used at least 75 GB in a month on a line."
