Political searches I assume would be very very minor percentage of real learning. Even in such cases, I would rather rely on a good LLMs response than scrounging websites of mainstream media or blogs etc. For an objective response, reading through opinionated articles and forming my opinion is an absolute waste of time. I'd want the truth as accurately as possible. Plus people don't generally change political opinions based what they read. They read stuff aligning with their side.

Palo Alto networks provides security product "AI access security" which claims to solve the problem you mentioned - access control, data protection etc. I don't personally use it neither does my org. Giving here just in case it is useful for someone.

I understand anything that comes on NYT is with a level of research and resources. But casually slipping very obvious innuendos to convey a strong opinion does not give confidence to me. I already feel like an idiot for getting too invested in this saga and now more of this. I just wish the truth comes out, that's all. Objectively.

Oh my sweet HN! What is happening to you? Article with such hateful tone and clearly loaded is being posted, discussed and on the front page. I guess this what scale does to any community. "......parlayed the success of OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot into personal stardom ....." "....Mr. Altman’s $27 million mansion in San Francisco’s Russian Hill neighborhood...."

Works for channels looking to only promote something else. But majority of content on YT is to make money to the creator. Ads is the sole source of any revenue there, comsidering the ad revenue share model. Or the premium subscription revenue share. Either way it hard to do away with ads in still booming creator economy.

I couldn't relate to any one of those fully. Boy is there a difference in culture! For us friends are not for helping when needed, networking, getting jobs for us or what not. In most cases of 'friends', its a non-transactional relationship. You just like talking to them, spending time with them. Yes, there are other 'acquaintances' for other things. Not sure if we need to make it so complicated.

Would you like to use an aggregator service which gives you credits? You can use those credits to 'buy' an article from any paid news sites. Maybe a browser addon which activates articles you want to read.

How to know if a post is flagged?

Patiently waiting for someone to post the archive link.

Lower middle class kid to now a slightly upper middle class person here. Migrated from small towns to cities. I think this falls into majority category.

Wow! I don't experience even one of those points the author mentions. In fact quite the opposite. It is unsettling to feel even mildly rich or show the world that I am doing well. Maybe I am not in the majority after all. Or the article is so very rooted in western demography.

Code does not make money by itself. Business does. Code has to work for business. And if programmers can manage business, nothing like it. But someone has to. You can rarely have it both ways, code for fun and make money for the business too. And make no mistake, running a business is as difficult as building software if not more. If we assume that 'non-tech' people do not understand code, we can assume that 'tech' folks do not understand business too. Both of which are not true. Also, such a flaming rant on any other topic would be flagged out to oblivion. HN's predisposition with tech vs nontech is quite apparent.

I should have mentioned, our appearance had to do something with the situation. Majority of the crowd is Indian in such restaurants, but with clean and 'westernized' attire. Our experience was not unsurprising becasue we had seen/read several such instances all across the country. In fact, there is a law passed in Tamil Nadu mandating all public places to allow folks with Dhotis or face license termination. This is to peotect the interests of natives. Quite a bit of what is mentioned in your comment is loaded. I wouldn't want to get into details and am happy to let your opinions be. Only thing, I am well aware that I am writing on HN, a place which inherently forces you to be reasonable and grounded. Writing here takes 10x more time than usual. So yeah, my intellectual arrival can never really arrive.

A bit off-topic, but something unique to India is reverse-racism, if I can call it that. Many a times, me and friends (mostly all male) try to enter a decent restaurant/pub only to be shown away saying its all booked for the evening. We could clearly see that was not the case. Even if stag entry is generally allowed at those places. But they happily welcome foreigners (of all kinds) right after they deny us. We Indians are an amusing bunch!

How they are made is not something I really want to get into. It was more about how some of us look at fault in everything and call it design thinking. I understand that it is frustrating when a product is an outright abomination in terms of design. But not everything needs to be 'designed' to the T. Be it mass production or craftsmanship. Not to mention, there is always added cost involved in the superior 'design' that people talk about.

Absolutely not. Atleast not with everything all the time. I love how the front camera on my phone is not concentric to the notch. How my table has uneven legs (I place a wooden piece to adjust). How the edge of my door is not aligned with the frame. How some of my t-shirts have slightly uneven sleeves.

For me, imperfections make them personal. I am repelled by people ('designers' ;)) looking at everything to find faults and point them out with pride. Tells me they never made a thing with bare hands all their life.
