Exactly my thought. There must be a reason that evolution didn't auto-optin us to these proteins. Everything is a trade-off. It's possible with the prevalancy of viruses in the modern world that we would, on balance, benefit from a more vigilant immune system.
The clearer answer is: the US stock market is denominated in dollars.
If dollars devalue, then the price of real assets and equities in dollars increases (i.e. equivalent value, different number).
It's entirely possible two things happen at once: (1) US companies become less profitable and competitive due to tariffs (thereby decreasing their objective value) & (2) US dollars devalue (thereby increasing assets value in terms of US dollars).
Realistically, persistent inflation, international willingness to buy US government debt, and/or consumer confidence will be the things that collapse everything. (Or not)
I'm not sure where to stand on this statement so I can only sit back and watch: I thought we would meet another AI winter ~2015 when we saturated computer vision and classification problems - then things started taking off for a little bit but settled but then things really took off...
You're still likely right as things must always come down but what if it doesn't.
I was riding through a town in Nevada with less than 200 people the other day. There was a billboard advertising that readme.com now supported MCP servers.
If that isn't a bubble I don't know what is.
Remember, the dotcom bubble didn't mean the internet was a dead technology. It meant that money was being invested into ideas that didn't pan out into profit.
Are you just going around arguing with everyone in bad faith just because you are convinced of your position? I see you all over this thread just throwing out any reasons you can that it should be removed. It seems like you have your mind made up and are just here to evangelize, not discuss. Hacker News is for discussion and open-mindedness.
It's weird to me because I seem to be replying to people talking from a prescriptive position (ie "social security should care for the elderly"), while I am trying to force the conversation to a descriptive (ie here are the actual observed impacts of social security).
I don't want to discuss should-statements, and I don't think that violates the spirit of HN.
Looking at shareware days and games like Jazz Jackrabbit with team of 2-3 devs also. I don't know if Unity would have been necessary. Ofc, after 20 years there is lot more processing power and lot less memory constraints. But still, I am not sure if such engines fundamentally changed anything.
It'd be quite difficult to deploy the processing power and other resources without an engine.
A 90s PC can't do a complex 3d engine because it lacks the grunt. A 2020s game dev can't do a complex 3d engine themselves because they don't know how to do complex 3d.
All that stuff was bad, especially Japanese internment, but this feels like a whole different category. It's a full-blown ceding control of the country to one man.
