Marc Andreesen has first-hand knowledge that absolutely refutes what you are saying. The Democratic party is more anti-ai than the Republican party and unfortunately both of them are increasingly responding to astroturfed populism. Do you t

If you think that anthropic wasn't pushing aggressive regulatory capture legislation in the Biden administration, why do you think they hired a bunch of people from it?

Yep. Lighting is a blatant, shameless rip off of Jeremy Howard's FastAI library BTW.

You basically just parroted a bunch of Howard Zinn agitprop and didn't cite a single example that was remotely similar to this specific incident, because you literally can't. What exactly is your motivation here, because it'

Please cite an example.

Student/teacher ratios have gone down, not up over the last few decades. This isn't a lack of funding. Teachers are put in an impossible position with students who come from homes where the parents don't do their proper jobs

It's a shame that the UK isn't making their own EVs. It's a nation with a long tradition of manufacturing and a working class hungry for opportunities. Both Labour and the Conservative parties seem to have resigned the natio

This is where teaching my teenage son how to drive was a great preparation. Also my wife is not a great driver and I've been married to her for 20 years. Compared to either one of them, FSD is way less stressful and is a vastly better

"The code isn't clean" Skill issue. If you just one-shot everything, sure, you'll get a messy codebase. But if you just manage it like a talented junior dev, review the code, provide feedback, and iterate, you get very

They care how much you charge them to build it, and they care how fast you deliver it to them. The idea that they don't makes me question whether or not you have ever been self-employed in your entire life. This kind of thinking make

Excellent point on the automatic car. I love driving a manual transmission. But I also understood why it was so hard for me to find a new Jeep Wrangler with a manual transmission a few years ago.

There was absolutely no reason to flag my comment, other than the fact that you disagree with it because it penetrates your Bay Area bubble of distorted reality. I don't know what the comment you are replying to was talking about, and

I worked in the Pentagon for 10 years, and got my beak wet with neural nets there very early, back when we were using Playstation 3s for their GPUs. I was staunchly against the Iraq war, but even when Bush was president I didn't let it

You have made a false claim. What is your evidence that I am religious, let alone a religious radical? I mean, if we're going to make accusations based on perceived political tribal allegiances, I can say to you with equal certainty t

6 months? I've been using LLMs to augment development since early December 2023. I've expanded the scope and complexity of the changes made since then as the models grew. Before beads existed, I used a folder of markdown files f

I work at a company with approximately $1 million in revenue per engineer and multiple 10+ year old codebases. We use agents very aggressively, combined with beads, tons of tests, etc. You treat them like any developer, and review the code

I've been on HN for well over 10 years. I literally volunteered for Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns, and my comments in that time period clearly show my politics. I taught free web scraping workshops at the Center for American P

Garry is a good person and smearing people over their church is a disgusting thing to do. I am now going to sit here and listen to this talk because I guarantee it's not saying what you think it's saying. And I don't want to

I haven't heard of it, but I loved Descent, and even bought Descent: Freespace back in the day. I will have to check out Overload.

Reminder that HN is SV centered and therefore everyone and everything is oriented around tribal group think. Meta was funded by Thiel, yet most of the people in this thread use their products. The CCP has technology that dwarfs Palantir, bu

With infant care it's an edge case. Obviously. Everyone knows this. Being raised by a single dad, I know this more than most. People are always surprised because it's NOVEL.

I just wish people would remember how awful and unprofessional and lazy most "journalists" are in 2026. It's a slop job now. Ars Technica, a supposedly reputable institution, has no editorial review. No checks. Just a lazy s

The most active HNers are just extremely negative on AI. I understand the impulse (you spend years honing your craft, and then something comes along and automates major portions of it) but it's driven by emotion and ego-defense and th

Yeah, we wouldn't want someone who understands the most revolutionary technology in 100 years to be the technical advisor to the mayor of the largest city in the United States or anything. That would be silly.

Yeah, you have a hard life as you type on a device powered by magic with a full belly and a roof over your head in a building that magically heats and cools itself. Compared to our ancestors, who alternated between fighting to not die of h

I was raised by a single father, but thanks for derailing the conversation with your assumption that I'm a sexist because I didn't account for the edge case in parenting.

Awww man, I agree with you sooooo much on the food portion. My son is now 19 years old, and doing very well financially (he chose to join the Army). I taught him from a young age how to shop and cook on a budget, in a healthy fashion. Sta
