I was a early user of conductor, even gave a lot of feedback through the inapp button (the team responded to me personally and quickly always which was nice, and my feature requests got into the app quickly). I've stopped using it a long time ago but at the time it was a game changer for me.
I felt like the applied science video was an ad. He said they sent him the printer to do the project so he at least got the printer free. I didn't hear any other disclosures but the entire back half of the video was talking about the printer
The implication of your comment is that the description/review/opinions expressed by Ben in that video were inaccurate due to having received the printer for free. Is that what you're suggesting?
In fact historically lieing in an ad could get you lawsuits or FTC complaints. I know creatives at agencies who would have to go through legal review to ensure every factual claim they made was true.
"Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data."
The odds that a Hacker News user who has been here literally 19 years and submitted over 4,000 links is some sort of marketing shill seem rather negligible. You could have figured that out yourself based just on the public data.
(3) Even when an article can justly be called an advert, it doesn't automatically follow that it's off-topic for HN. Most adverts are off topic, of course, because they aren't intellectually interesting. Intellectual interest a.k.a. curiosity is the only criterion for what's on topic here—again, please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
This is a pretty unusual use case though, like I can see it growing, but it's not the same platform you use for long lived running business applications. Vastly different use case. (And a lot will settle for kata containers.)
Spinning up and snapshotting and rolling back agent states, sure.
Irattional things continue to be irrational i guess
