I think if nuclear weapons were unregulated then we would probably have blown up by now.

Thanks for commenting and acknowledging that it's challenging. My mates and myself have definitely fallen into this. Reminds me of that hackernews post about how doomerism is a siren's song for genZ, forget where it is.

Devs gotta eat. Yeah the code is out there but the code is a result of a lot of thinking, prioritization, research into what is needed from the actual product. So now AWS owns that mindshare and talent and will (probably heavily) influence

> I declined to take that offer. I had missed several business meetings that cost me actual money. I couldn't donate blood for years because I had been to the Amazon and was tagged a malaria risk. RTFP?

Why are we citing novelists for appeals to authority on something like intelligence. I thought this might be a figure on developmental psychology to give value to your comment, but it's not even that. Should I be citing George Orwell&#

Did you deliberately not address the prices skyrocketing comment? Not that the price is what it is, but that the price changed?

If I could install PVE on my M series Mac, nothing would make me happier. It would be such a nice way to recycle such hardware once I finally upgrade.

I just use Amazon Ion as my JSON superset of choice for my own sanity, and downconvert to JSON when (if) it matters, it's not even bad and it supports comments. Hell there's a freaking Lisp for it now, too (Fusion). https:/&

If I had a nickel for every post I saw on HN front page involving companies confusing people on phishing-like patterns today, I would have two nickels. Which is not a lot but still weird that it happened twice. https://news.ycomb

A few days multiplied by the number of skills I once had translates to well over two months of lost time.

Programming without writing, to me, feels like doing mathematics by reading proofs but not doing proofs. Which quite frankly works very poorly for me. I write code if, for nothing else, so that I can spot bad code/proofs with an easier

no mention of dynamic programming for dealing with recursive functions? Dynamic programming was built for this, you don't even need to thrash the heap as much as that trampoline. Instantiate your array, make sure you set your base case

Is this a response to marketing lingo specifically or some other cultural phenomenon? There's a difference between what you want to do to advance your goals (e.g. compromising), and what you want to say for visibility for whoever'

Why? Why do people submit content for our reading when it is not their words? Does it give legitimacy to them? Does it push an agenda? Does it make you look professional? Is this for some kind of executive or boss? "The part I have to

Any mechanism you find that can do this could also be used for money laundering, no? By way of identifying that money laundering in the US should not be possible (meaning without legal consequence), then this too should not be possible.

Your LLM can fuck that up badly if your LLM starts to take loans, right? Or BNPL regardless of sandboxing?

Why jump on the opportunity to prune reading by rejecting the lot as soon an unrelated premise you disagree with is presented? Perhaps at that point if you stop reading after the first sentence, you could churn the entire article through AI

Heh. I do something like this when I'm at work in meetings, basically dynamically trying to map out what people are saying so that I can build mental models. Funny that soon the AI can define my own mental model on the fly soon.
