I think the point they're making is that the failure mode of a waymo and automated air traffic control could look the same from an angle, but would have very different consequences.

>I want my comments judged by the contributions they make and do not make to the discussion

There used to be a sort of gentleman's agreement that I could spare the time to read and judge your comment because you went through the effort of writing it.

I feel like that would only change your opinion of the quote if you originally equated it to "Government bad!", which is a thoughtless thought.

I refuse to believe you sincerely think this is a salient point. Determinism was one of the fundamental axioms of software engineering.

I've made a couple with the Kumihimo technique, using cheap embroidery thread. The texture is similar to paracord, but you get your own pick of colors and patterns. I'm surprised at how durable they are.

Hopefully not. I'm impressed with the engineering, it is a technological achievement, but my only hope right now is that this tech plateaus pretty much immediately. I can't think of a single use-case that wouldn't be at best value-neutral, and at worst extremely harmful to the people interacting with it.

I don't think it's obnoxious to protect your trademark against a literal homophone operating in the same space as you. I'm confident a lot of people heard about "clawdbot" and assumed it was an anthropic product.

Newspapers and professional journalism are indeed doing well right now, nothing to worry about.

you're right, blog articles should be entirely devoid of stylistic choices and signifiers.

This is HN, you need to use sarcasm tags.

the lack of capitalization (and occasional omission of punctuation) was already a big thing on tumblr / twitter 10 years ago, especially in some anime and LGBT-adjacent spaces. I don't think jyn got it from Sam Altman, and I don't think he had that big a role in popularizing it.

It was a thing 25 years ago already in SMS and IM.

Before smartphones, it seems to have been the standard for just about every form of instant messaging. Well, morse has no capitalization and telex would typically have been uppercase-only too, but I think we can still count those?

I suspect that this is just something that happens naturally, for shorter-format messaging typing in sentence case probably offers no added readability and tends to get dropped over time.
