Do they still have any engineers? From the downtime it seems like they don't any more. Yep - the competent ones likely all left.

If you start to let AI decide or influence policy, it can kill people. This seems very simple to me... 1. Put AI in charge of health policy 2. Give it a naive misguided charter/goal eg eliminate suffering 3. Euthanasia for everyone Thi

Isn’t the whole point that they don’t want you to use the website - they want you to install the app. Why would they make the website an enjoyable experience?

Wouldn't need any of that. An AI agent setup to "Do the best for the world" or some other broad claim, and with enough power to say crash the stock market, disrupt power supply, delivery, etc etc after reasoning that it'

If the human isn't ultimately in charge, don't be surprised when AI decides to eliminate humanity "for the greater good" or something.

LLMs are as good as the operator directing them.

You're citing a government report to support their position on why we need infinity immigration? Seriously? The UK population grew from about 58.9 million in 2000 to 69 million in 2025 - an increase of roughly 10 million people. The la

That's exactly how it was in the 90s really.

Maybe you want to byte align some data, or pack to a certain size but keep compat. I think they're going to be rare cases, but I can see it being used.

I don't think you can ignore it. It's the biggest change to tech in 30 years I'd say. "I'm tired of all this internet talk" in 1990s?

I don't think this approach is wise. Concentrate on code quality, and whether it does what it needs to do. Not whether it was written by AI or not.

That's like saying ban IDEs. Or ban search engines. LLM is just a tool that humans use to create things.

Fun little game, but I think the questions jump context so much it's a little unrepresentative. It might be better to group things into "packs", which have more real-world representative structure to them. For example, lots o

And so the cycle will continue. Always a shame when languages cave like this and add extra unnecessary complexity and error prone hard to parse syntax. It'll be interesting to see the next language that comes along rejecting bloat in f

If ever there was proof needed to show just how far HN has fallen... Perhaps time for me to move on.

I've always found B2C advertising supported relatively easy. Perhaps I'm just lucky at it :/ Perhaps I'm just very bad at B2B. However, I'd much rather have a million customers paying me $1 each, than have 10 customers paying me $100k each.

The UK health system is absolutely fantastic FWIW.

One of the things I dislike about B2B is the lack of fine grain control. With B2C, your revenue grows over time as you grow your userbase. It's pretty predictable, and not too risky. With B2B, it's more binary. You might go months with 0 re

A company on the stock market owes it to investors to make them a return. Donating 10% of revenue away, wouldn't go down too well with average Joes pension scheme. Also I'm not sure any big company 'completely depends' on FOSS. Yes it's
