What does “n8n” stand for? I’m assuming it’s a shortening of a longer word, like k8s.

I've been pronouncing it as "nanites" in my head since the first time I've seen it. Dunno why and now I feel just a tiny silly, though I still prefer my pronunciation.

Needless to say I never had to actually say "n8n".


i believe it stands for “nodemation”

Correct, check the "Our name" section at: https://n8n.io/press/

naaathaaan

Is that intoned like Ricardo Montalbán's "Khaaaan!" ?

I think more "Fenton!"...

Are a few hand-picked winners from VCs hand-picking the next generation's winners _actually_ creating any sort of social prosperity?

When did SV ever actually do what you're claiming? Need to see some evidence of this claim before taking it as true.

From my observations, SV just had good marketing and PR during the 2000s - 2010s.


> he was saying that people who believe in free speech are trash, targeting X users with hate.

That’s not hate speech.

You sound like Michael from the office!


The GP didn't say it was hate speech. Said it was hate. And calling someone trash... yeah, I think that fits within my definition of hate.

Incorrect. They're not a C corp, they're a public benefit corporation. They have a different legal obligation. Notably, they have a legal obligation to deliver on their mission. That's why Anthropic is the only actual mission-driven AI company. They do have to balance that legal obligation with the traditional legal obligations that a for-profit corporation has. But most importantly, it is actually against the law for them not to balance prioritizing making money and prioritizing AI safety!

Damn, sorry to hear that a nurse killed your grandma :(

Or we could do socialism and have workers, not the government, take ownership.

It’s only 4% of his wealth.

Nice /s


CA started to do this and crime got much worse. No thanks.
