Because all the important ones have been true since 2022 and will be true forever, because they have nothing to do with LLM capabilities and instead are focused on LLM nature.
How do you figure? I can't see how any accounting gets it under 7 days (the LLM took 10 days to write the first version of the code), and the one I would use is closer to 2 months (time from conception to release). Not…
Because bad behavior tends to scale with company size, not because smaller companies are more virtuous, but because they just have less power to do harm than bigger companies. Imagine that there were only two companies,…
Yes, programmers are exactly like everyone else in this way.

Owning a slave that does all those things still doesn't make you a carpenter.

No, I did read it, and I think I understood it. My summary in my own words is that you find that LLMs can massage your writing and reduce the stress of communication. Did I believe it? Well... You have an account on HN…
Yes, the original prompt is 10000% better than the AI output, because it shows me exactly how much the author (you?) cares about this topic and how much effort they're willing to put into communication, which is barely…
The HN guidelines prohibit a lot of behaviors that remain unmoderated, you can see it in any thread that goes over 80 comments.
