Shhh we don’t talk about it
This is buried at the end. > My goal here is not to write the end-all-be-all benchmark for “I’m a vibe-coder, which framework should I choose?” The point of this post is to demonstrate that it’s possible in the era of…
If you don’t start new ones, will you really finish the unfinished ones? Really? It’s ok to admit that the beginning is the most fun.
I must live a very vanilla, sheltered life because I’ve never bought anything and wondered if a payment processor would object to it.
That’s almost always a delayed effect. Move software people around and the revenue effects aren’t instant. In a heavily R&D-oriented area it might be 2y or more.

I would assume that a company with the resources of an OpenAI or Anthropic would have already thought about this very thoroughly, based on Spectre/rowhammer/meltdown/etc. If a random HNer (no offense) can have a…
Faring well in general, sure. I read it as: faring well in a work/industry/employment situation where expectations for velocity and quality pivot on the fact that 99% of your peers use AI, and 90% of those use it to do…
Would you do this work but not expect credit for your progress? Especially if your career depended on it? Not many people create things and refuse to sign them, and believe in anonymous contributions to humanity. I’ve…
The argument against aggressive term limits that I’ve read: there are many people making a career in politics as a whole—lobbyists, influence groups, party committees, etc. They have a huge advantage over the…
Hamming it up is an overlooked parental contribution to reading. Lay it on thick! Do all the voices, act like you don’t know what’s on the next page, be shocked and surprised. Kids love it.
That’s what they say about communism and anarchism and many other isms: if it’s not working, you aren’t doing it right. Every failed implementation gets the No True Scotsman argument.
Right, it’s everywhere, it makes the computers and managers and house happy. It just doesn’t sound good.
The problem with fines is that they don't actually disincentivize bad behavior by companies, as long as they are large enough to absorb the fine as a cost of doing business. Time in the pokey is unpleasant for everyone.
That last bit is unnecessary. If pick development is accelerating, the lockmakers can do their very best in good faith to build the best, most pick-proof locks possible, no doctoring involved. And still those locks will…
This reads like the typical expectant-parent confusion. The big mistake is thinking about a one-way flow of information from the parent to the child. What really happens is that the infant is the teacher. The parents…
Sure, but resulting in a weak premise that gets thrown out in court?
I just wonder how this cop got so lucky that he randomly stopped a car with 91kg of meth in it. 91kg!!! LPR will scan thousands of cars automatically, but he stated in the footage that he chose her specifically. Why?
The sensitivity to that difference is extremely varied. Customers buying TVs are attracted to ridiculously brightly colored videos, and go home to watch a murky movie with banding artifacts and say “I love my tv.” And…
Not enough gaffer/duct tape! But the inability to bank to the right side is perfect. Just do a 270 to the left.
Is this a super-serious discussion amongst committed prospective buyers? I don’t see much evidence of that. As for the rest, this is the Internet, and a cat may look at a king.
Sure, a space-age flying car which isn’t in production yet might have a waiting list. But what about eastern bloc econoboxes like the Trabant or the Lada? That are literally made of cardboard? You’ve got to be kidding.…
Agree, in principle, but in the US we are very far from that system, so essentially unrealistic. And the countries that do have such systems are doing so with US pharma companies cranking out drugs. Presumably if they…
Valid questions. What would you propose instead? Who will do this research, with what funding, and why will they want to do it? And why would we trust that research more than this? Wouldn’t we scrutinize research…
Not me, my HN posts are all done by candlelight with a quill on parchment.
