Pretty cool, but notice how he still uses touchpad to move through the source code. Any ideas on how to automate that? I guess I can page up/down with a keyboard, but then how do I move cursor to a specific part of the code?

Sounds like fun! Although I'd prefer to build something, like a barn or a house.

I remember I used to kick-start myself into flow by doing "useless" things like rearranging code around, doing small renames for consistency, etc. I need to return that that practice, as I find it harder and harder to interest mys

How can one become better at office politics? What are books to read / courses to take?

My realization from that article is that I'm stagnant because I can't be wordy. It's all very simply for me. Either I know something or I don't. If I know, I tell exactly what I know. If I don't I say "I don&#x

I feel that NYT should stop paywalling articles about Fox. That would be a good for educating public about them. Right now all I have is a vague title. But I bet if I go to the Fox I'll be able to freely read their position.

There is no way to estimate "probable consequences", as it all is happening very fast. Which hints on the fact how interesting / in demand this technology is. I for one will be happy to enslave an AGI if that makes my life ea

This is one of those cases where I can't help myself but ask: Why couldn't you find more worthwhile thing to do?

Now would be the time for some adversary (e.g. Russia) to provide unfiltered GPT-4 like thing, for free. Or even better, with a pro-Russia (or pro-China) bias.

You'd be surprised how many people want a one-way ticket to Mars. I think Elon can make good money from that alone.

"An fast"? Shouldn't this be "A fast", or is it an exception of some sort?

I wonder how hard it'll be to implement Android's WebView on top of Servo?

How can anyone, in 2022, still have this utopian vision about open social media? There will always be another "arrogant buffoon" to ruin it for you. It's more productive to change your attitude.

What is "hard to deal with"? I definitely can be hard to deal with if you try to run BS by me. Things like unnecessary refactors for example really rub me the wrong way. I think that sometimes hard NO is the only right answer. &qu

I like the spirit of that though. Reminds me my startup days.

That would be nice. I know a senior developer that doesn't actually do anything, he had like 2 small CLs this year. But apparently he can't be fired, so he is just there, increasing work load for everyone else.

I wonder how soon Twitter will have to crank the compensation up because no one wants to work there.

And of course fix includes magic SecurityMode.Invalid value, which makes dismiss() behave like it did before. I'd look very hard at places that use SecurityMode.Invalid.

I don't mind receiving "just", in my view "what do you think" is far worse. You can just brush "just" away (which is kind of expected), but "what do you think" implies some kind of reasoned answe

Similar safety profiles? I'm not a drinker, but I think you need to drink a LOT of alcohol to state hallucinating? I.e. most people don't do that.

There are people that don't let a single mistake sink a person. Yes that episode is bad and leaves bad taste, but everyone makes mistakes. So yeah, I like Joe Rogan, and I'm fine with associating my brand with him. But if you know

Some might see such dismissals (of "useless" proposals) as a marker of a focus and honesty, and thus give the author of the competing proposal more attention.

Oh hey, they've added a couple more chars since the last time I encountered the term! Now we just need to rearrange the letters to make pronounceable, how about QBIG2SALT+?

Speaking about consensus - there is another thread on the HN where people complain about Android 13 UI. I guess that was built with a healthy dose of consensus. The point is - sometimes you need a jerk with a vision so that the thing you&#x

The open letter wanted to “publicly address and condemn Elon’s harmful Twitter behavior”. It's only a small step until these activists start demanding similar things regarding random public people they don't like. Like DeSantis. S
