On the other hand, there's research suggesting that the most optimal behavior for the best outcomes (based on the famously dependable economist style of analysis in a vacuum) is to practice the moral/ethical framework but to also engage in tit for tat - ie, assume everyone means well but respond proportionally when they don't.

They're slowing down token usage, not the path to regulatory capture.

Unless you were in Europe and didn't run a small business

Ok, but their post talks about making a product in small volumes. It doesn't explicitly say that it's a small business, but together with the first person singular language, that's definitely the impression given.

Also, their other posts suggest they are in the US: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49477186

As others commenters said, it's amusing. But also the person you're replying to is the guy who created the pelican test in the first place and I appreciate the whimsy he brings to the discussion.

I was using it on Cowork yesterday, so I would imagine so. It arrived before I updated but the message says it will work better after updating the app.

You see this type of thing daily in Brooklyn NY still, but instead of techno it's any genre, primarily hip hop, reggaeton, or afrobeats.

I was on Pixels since the first generation, and only I recently switched from the Pixel 8 Pro to the OnePlus 15, so I was very late to the game here and missed the peak OnePlus days.

But even so, I've been way happier with the OnePlus than the Pixel. Only thing I miss is the camera quality of the Pixel.

Bummed that I won't have the option next time.

Yeah I recently went to a Find N6 and the battery life is quite literally 40% more than a Pixel. Not to mention the performance is significantly better.

Obviously as a folding phone it's more expensive, but it's leagues ahead of the Pixel Fold as well.

I was already annoyed at the amount of headlines shoehorning the word "quietly" into a story to imply some kind of malicious secrecy (and therefore drive clicks), but it seems to have gotten way more common when people use AI to write titles.

It may not have been a nasty name but damn that was brutal.

When I lived in India everyone would always tell me how everyone drives so much safer there because they're more aware etc (similar reasoning as we're seeing in this thread), but man, the national crash statistics say otherwise.

Not to mention I lost count of how many dozens of accidents I witnessed in my year there. I've personally been in 3 rickshaw crashes.

My experience as well in Vietnam. the first time I was there I figured they were right but it’s just a false narrative people sell to make themselves feel safe. Don’t even get me started on methed out American size semi trucks speeding with no concern of running you over.
