I think tunnels like this are more about future-proofing access than betting on a specific technology

My understanding is that it's mostly mechanical and thermal, not electrical cleverness

No flashy product launch, no app, just "we quietly replaced a 1960s failure point before it failed."

I'm shocked it only took five years and only cost 4 month's worth of bomalian budget.

Great job whoever was in charge.

It’s not just a tunnel, it’s a game-changing lifeline

At this point the benchmark soup is so dense that it's hard to tell signal from selective framing

Once you drop the idea that it's a knowledge oracle and start treating it as a system that navigates a probability landscape, a lot of the confusion just evaporates

This is one of those updates where the value only really shows up if you're already deep in the weeds

The speed bump is nice, but speed alone isn't a compelling upgrade if the qualitative difference isn't obvious in day-to-day use

I'm pretty much in the same camp. For a lot of everyday use, raw "intelligence" already feels good enough

HN tends to self-regulate pretty well

HN is the mix of personal experience, weird edge cases, and even the occasional hot take. That's what makes HN valuable
