I'm not in on the joke, can someone ELI5

Perhaps there is none.

I'm not a native English speaker and every now and then I see a comment in my mother tongue (downvoted to all hell of course). It's usually some kind of offhand remark.

You need both. My sense is that only a minority of people are hardwired to preferably live as hermits. And whilst it's an important life skill to be happy alone, everyone has their breaking point, it's no coincidence that one of the best predictors of longevity is how rich ones social life is.

I'm not talking about being hermits. But if you have one hour alone, you could learn to be happy with your own mind available. Of course most people (not hermits) need social relations.

I believe both Nvidia and Google have higher market caps

this could make for an interesting new benchmark

> Surely Congress or the courts would have something to say about it?

my sense is that Trump feels to be above the law right now, having ordered the operation to seize Maduro without Congressional approval (illegal under U.S. constitutional law). Trump's reasoning was that "Congress has a tendency to leak", and so to him congress seems little more than background noise.

I switched to Firefox after Chrome stopped supporting uBlock Origin, for all the slights I've seen on HN lately with the direction of the product I've been very happy. No regrets.

My understanding is that agents are:

1) helping to saturate traditional SaaS because code is being commoditized / the effort to build is dropping significantly.

2) defining an adjacent sub-category of SaaS: "Service-as-a-Software" where the SaaS provides _outcomes_ instead of _tools_; this couldn't really exist at scale before recently.

I recall in the first lecture of some Comp Sci class back at uni, our lecturer had learnt what felt like every student's name and face from their digital profile, some 100 people. Whenever a random student raised their hand to participate he would say say "yes, <first name>". I'm still to this day in awe of that.

I had a math prof who did that in a class of 200 and still remembered our names 2 years later. Incredible.

My macroeconomics professor did this. Day 1, he greeted every student by name at the door. The class had at least 100 or so students.

It’s not just irritating, it’s repetitive

Indeed, the several streets around me in London just had hundreds of EV chargers attached to lampposts.

I saw them in London a couple of years ago, and they looked like they had been there for a long time then.
