Actually, yes, it can. Chill a bit.

I’m sad that you’re being downvoted. It’s clear that you’re correct. However, HN does tend to take extending the courtesy of assuming good faith to the breaking point, whether we like it or not. It’s blindingly obvious that they are here me

Yes, that was evil. If your point is that both Obama and Trump are criminals who deserve imprisonment rather than full throated defense and endorsement, I am in complete agreement.

Caddy is beautifully simple, a joy to setup, configure & use for a simple home server with a few services. I love it! I used nginx before, and it’s great, but caddy makes things easier. I love how easy it makes SSL certificates & re

They don’t have anything because they’re lying. Even the sibling comment is a fabrication.

To anyone else coming across this: this is a lie.

Exactly. All of this was stated in advance, in Project 2025 and in tech bro interviews about how much democracy sucks. These people are not subtle, smart, or original; however, they are completely amoral sociopaths who think they can destro

Ah, naming things. Something about one of the hard problems in computer science... I think consistency is more important than perfection. If you use something like vw_ as recommended in the sibling comment, that's fine, then try to app

I feel you, and LLMs are no doubt a boon in tooling to help in this kind of scenario. I'm not poo-pooing LLMs in general; they are very cool! I wish they were allowed to just be very cool while we incorporate them into our tooling and

I believe that we'll learn how to incorporate LLMs to improve parts of data pipelines, particularly those that involve extracting unstructured or semistructured data into structured data, especially if it can provide a reliability scor

This is a head-scratcher of a take. Have you actually done any in-depth work on data pipelines and analytics tooling? If so, what precisely do you see LLMs making easier? I tried using enterprise chat gpt to write a query to load some json

Treating hallucinations as an error that can be corrected fights against the nature of the technology and is more hype than reality. LLMs are designed to be a bullshit generator and that’s what they are; it is a fundamental limitation. (“Bu

While we’re alive, we care. When we’re dead, it’s up to our children to care. Inheritance wishes are generally respected, but also can and do get overridden. I’m not saying that an author’s wishes shouldn’t be taken into account, the living

Why? They’re dead. Not trying to be flippant, I honestly don’t get why the deceased’s desires should be elevated over the living’s. It’s a moral choice I don’t agree with and don’t entirely understand.

Hard disagree. Those “productive” programmers are a nightmare, their code is a barely decipherable jumble of randomly gluing function calls together until they kinda sorta do something that approximates working some of the time. They cause

What luxury! I’d kill for a copy-pasted error message! Usually I just get “it didn’t work.”

My sense is that the N64 cartridge just couldn’t compete with the optical disc formats for content storage as RPGs just exploded in size and complexity at the time. (And way too many rendered cutscenes!)

Maybe it's just that I haven't been fortunate enough to encounter leadership that's not like that, but this story sounds right to me. Try to think of it from leadership's perspective. For the sake of simplicity, let&#x27

org-mode tables are great. So is magit, I highly recommend it! I'm comfortable with command line git, use it quite a lot, but I also use magit a lot, and magit is especially great as a much better `git add -p`.

I think humans already struggle with this, without sufficient background knowledge and context. Reality is messy.
