I think that pure white (255) and pure black (0) should be using extremely sparingly. #FFFFFF? Why not #f6f6ef or #eceff4? Lower contrast can improve legibility, too much contrast can hinder it. #000000? Why not #121821, a dark shade of blue? Nothing in real life is perfectly dark.

Thankfully HN has remained pleasingly off-white.

Think about the world's poorest man, and how disconnected he is from the rest of humanity. Now think of the world's richest man. They are equally disconnected.

Not to accuse the Germans but politicians rarely protest lobbying when it involves bribes.

Musk's greatest achievements are in the field of financial engineering. I wish he could write a book about it, because it's the only part about his life that's remained invisible.

In the 1900s we called "control over technology" something else, I believe it was "seizing the means of production".

I think it's quite obvious why Lisa Su isn't motivated to financially crush her first cousin once removed. AMD is doing quite well in the CPU space and as such isn't even forced to compete in the GPU space. AMD could take market share from Nvidia, but they don't have to, because there is no one else who would take it either.

Zen has replaced Arc for me nicely.

One of two legal outcomes must follow from OpenAI's piracy.

1. OpenAI must be fined according to law.

2. Piracy is decriminalized.

Failing to do neither is an admission that the US has become a corporatocracy. That is, a form of oligarchy where the rule of law is not by a majority or plurality of people, but by a number or corporations you can count with one hand.
