I didn't work at BMD but worked for a cine distributor supplying lenses to be tested. But yes, lean clean company that works well.

The people say "tax the rich".

Tax AI is the answer.

This is interesting to see since on another HN post everyone is bemoaning how expensive it’s getting to use frontier models because Anthropic is massively throttling Pro Max Claude plans. That’s certainly not going to become more accessible to us normal folk through taxation.

The tax dollars can go to programs that support normal folk, when the vast majority of tax collected will not come from normal folk.

This might be a solution if there wasn’t staggering wealth inequality prior to AI.

LTO via LTFS is probably your best long term bet.

However, traditional spinning rust (multiple copies) is probably the easiest.

Sans DIY solutions, cloud infrastructure would be the costly alternative.

According to Gemini itself:

"Google Antigravity" refers to a new AI software platform announced by Google designed to help developers write and manage code.

The term itself is a bit of a placeholder or project name, combining the brand "Google" with the concept of "antigravity"—implying a release from the limitations of traditional coding.

In simple terms, Google Antigravity is a sophisticated tool for programmers that uses powerful AI systems (called "agents") to handle complex coding tasks automatically. It takes the typical software workbench (an IDE) and evolves it into an "agent-first" system.

Agentic Platform: It's a central hub where many specialized AI helpers (agents) live and work together. The goal is to let you focus on what to build, not how to build it.

Task-Oriented: The platform is designed to be given a high-level goal (a "task") rather than needing line-by-line instructions.

Autonomous Operation: The AI agents can work across all your tools—your code editor, the command line, and your web browser—without needing you to constantly supervise or switch between them.

Hi Richard

Breast cancer affects men too.

As a recent QLD convert thanks for this. I had been wondering why the water up here was so hard.

Hi. Check where you actually are located in Qld, because chances are you are fluoridated just fine. https://www.health.qld.gov.au/public-health/industry-environ...

Difference between G and E-type lenses is that 'E' stands for Electromagnetic Diaphrapham.

The G type lenses have an aperture tab for diaphrapham control as dictated by the camera body, the E-type lenses leave this to being controlled by the camera electronically.

Yes however, the original broadcast contracts may not have clauses in them for streaming services so having to revisit those contracts would be a costly process.

Can confirm as a good looking male, I slay on apps compared to my peers.

However I believe it also boils down to personality traits too.

Saying "Hi" isn't enough. One needs to be creative to stand out from the field. Women get absolutely swamped on the apps.

Swamped is on point. I watched my roommate-now-girlfriend get over 1,000 likes in no time at all (I can't remember well but certainly on the order of hours, not days). It was in a populated, well-off area, but still. When you see something like that, it puts a lot of this whole thing into perspective.

Women being swamped on dating apps has absolutely no relevance to saying hi in real life.

Women who are swamped on dating apps are not swamped with attention from men in real life.

They see this discrepancy, and instinctively interpret that as the dating site being a space where all the world's desperate losers have gathered.

You don't need to stand out, just not stand in that same place.
