It’s such an insane take that proof would be amazing

I’d love to see this placed into the context of the (actual) average Joe. If you consider that the average person dramatically overestimates their reasoning skills and can’t correctly do high school level math, I think it would help understand if we have reached AGI. It would also just provide some color to the state of things.

This is a wonderful example

Hacker news is peak contrarian. If your stance was that this merger was incredible, your replies would be entirely about competition lol.

Pay a bit extra to board earlier.

No, devaluing the 5th because they regularly have completely insane takes is logical. They regularly twist legal frameworks for completely out of pocket takes. Criticizing government actors instead of blindly trusting every ruling without reading it is how democracy functions and grows. If you’re so upset over that, you probably need to re evaluate if you should live in a country where citizens get to distrust their government. That’s exactly the foundation of this one.

Sorry for the confusion there, but I bought that up as a point that their rulings have been so bad that even the current, extremely partial SC, has been forced by the politics of the situation to slap down their rulings. It’s as if your own friends tell you you’ve gone a bit too far.

Well judging how bad a court is by how many times this Supreme Court reverses it isn’t the best metric, that would require the SC to be a fair and reasonable actor

Adding the 4 missing Supreme Court justices for the circuits that don’t have them would go a long way to solving this in the short term.

This exactly, the 5th has the wildest and most twisted rulings to the point even the current Supreme Court has slapped a few down. Any reasonable person should be skeptical.

That’s a super thoughtful response, thanks. Also my armchair understanding is that HVDC electric is superior and our electrical grid needs the rework anyways haha

You know I remember hearing this way back in the early 2000s but forgot about it, Carl is pretty low key, no Wikipedia / etc

Yes of course - it depends on what lens though. If you mean "I'm learning to build better from this" then no, but its very informative on Meta's own goals and mindset as well as real numbers that allow comparison to investment in other areas, etc. Also the point was mostly that Meta does publish a lot in the open - including actual open source tech stacks etc. They're reasonably good actors in this specific domain.

Honestly Meta is consistently one of the better companies at releasing tech stack info or just open sourcing, these kinds of articles are super fun

You’re right, I could have specified that even if you don’t use iCloud you have a keychain on iOS
