Palantir damage control got to this thread faster than the last one.


I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a whole team dedicated to running an online bot army to counter dissent. It wouldn’t surprise me if they plan on selling that service to their customers.

Ironically the best solution for this is for websites to start de-anonymizing users to the extent necessary to block fake accounts from polluting the airwaves.


Probably mostly just people who work at companies that bought their software and know it's not special. It's a souped up version of Databricks. If you've worked with it it's always a laugh to see both their supporters on X who drank their koolaid, bought their stock and think it's some kind of one-of-a-kind magic, as well as people on places like HN who think they're data brokers. I guess HN is 90% people who have only worked in pure play tech plus academia. If you have any friends at Boeing, Airbus, Citibank, ask them if they've used it. Ironically most of it runs on the clouds from the average HNer's workplace on big enterprise contracts with AWS and Azure.


As always, I like to point out that someone here is probably very proud of their work on this.


And, if you criticize them for building these systems, they'll trot out the usual excuses:

- Well, I'm working on interesting technical problems at massive scale. Leave it to the business guys to figure out how to apply it--not my problem.

- Well, I just move protobufs from one middleware API to another. I don't even talk to the application guys.

- Well, I just write the code my boss tells me to write. I don't want to be fired!


No, actually at least one person in this comment section is outright happy to say they like what is going on.

These people don't care what harms "deporting illegals" means, because they aren't really attached to reality and are utterly lacking empathy.

"Better ten guilty men go free than one innocent man imprisoned" is clearly not something they consider acceptable.


These losers are everywhere on HN, 10+ replying to the top comment. No surprise considering who runs the site.


AgingWheels on youtube did a video testing exactly this.


Apple could do this if they wanted to. Hey Apple, Put the Pro back in the iPhone Pro. Give me a dock and and macOS in docked mode.


I would love that. For the things I do on my phone the hardware is so oversized - it’s really ridiculous. It’s definitely capable of running desktop things. Most of the apps out there are just webpages anyway (which are responsive).

They could basically abandon MacOS completely and focus on iOS. I mean sometimes it feels like they abandoned macOS already.


30% App Store fee. Not gonna happen.


Yes actually, I happen to save the built in GPS for occasions when the phone network is inaccessible.


No No, We didn't use AI. We used this cool new windows copilot feature, look it has a button on the keyboard and everything!


don't forget 0-10v and 2-10v analog signals.


Never used 2-10V but I learned about 0-10V when someone approached me to design a device to input 0-10V position signal and output two phase-shifted sinusoids to retrofit to a controller that only took resolver inputs. We shipped a couple dozen of them to repair broken machine tools. Fun project, but not going to get rich from it!

I'm guessing that the 2-10V is to detect line break conditions?


I thought the Teensys were made by PJRC. and they seem to list a number of US distributors on their website still. (including adafruit)


That RCX #000001 is super cool.


Don't forget the Amazon one has AI to "help you decide which artworks are the best fit for your room." So it 100% has a camera watching you.
