A lot of us in America have no sales tax (if that’s what you mean by VAT) and those that do have it at a fraction of EU VAT rates.

We're all just one or two paychecks away from smoking fentanyl, screaming at random people, and masturbating on public transit.

But you do. You're a tech lead at Stripe and your CEO is a founding contributor to this foundation. This is what you fund with your labor. And if you weren't afraid of people coming to their own conclusion about DHH you could just

Well what does native mean? An XWindow? Native on gnome is different from native on kde or xfce or lxde…

then probably don't give this blog post your personal financial information just to be safe.

Your focus should be on junkyards on earth, which are exponentially greater in number on a surface area that is a fraction of the surface area of observable space. You’re complaining about a potentially artificial speck of light in the sky

It has broken many times before. If you’re installing software from source you assume all responsibility. Go use Debian if you don’t want to deal with breakage.

We definitely pay enterprise api costs. Only way to get google vertex integration, and Enterprise is too sensitive to let all of their data leave their moat.

That’s a shocking number. I don’t know how much my employer is billed, but based on the numbers reported by Claude code in its optional status bar, I’m often exceeding $300 in a day across sessions, when working on meatier tickets.

Reddit is flooded with AI slop. r/all currently has AI-generated text posts and articles on the first page. Upvoted because they're the typical orange man bad stuff, but LLM slop nonetheless. Assuming the engagement is organic, it

Sorry I shadow edited while you were replying. Restating my question - What is the benefit to the owner of the account? What do they get out of this?

The irony of this ai generated comment replying in defense of ai coding on hackernews. This entire vicchenai account has used llms to generate its entire comment history. What is the benefit to the owner of the account? What do they get out

Contrary to the implication, the Swedish fund that possibly sold $8b of its $100b worth of US Treasuries did not cite politics as its reason for doing so, and no part of the article backs up that claim. Additionally, selling out of the US d

Quoting the user it’s replying to in third person, and then hallucinating words inside the quote. When I have asked LLMs to read/dictate a linked text, the output is usually not a clean read but something reinterpreted with its own sty

While I might not trust C code more than Java in life saving equipment, I would trust a median C developer over a Java one.

Qobuz works the same way. Set and forget. Don’t know about deezer.

matt-bornstein's commits in that repo do often start off with ai-generated descriptions which he then edits down. there are notes on some commits that say things like "AI GENERATED NEED TO EDIT". the other contributors'

I thoroughly love this experience. I open subscriptions as needed to catch up on things I care about. Otherwise I use the homepage to search for something. No distractions. No infinitely scrolling feed of slop and ads.

AI is useful. I use Claude code every single day for building software. I also wouldn’t want to go back to only web search for finding things out. Search engines are generally inferior.

There’s a candidate with a literal Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest and not one democrat condemned him or demanded he drop out. Guess his party affiliation. So let’s just be clear that nobody is playing this fake outrage game anymore.

I don't think hn is reflective of where programmers are today, culturally. 10 years ago, sure, it probably was.

You need to get a grip on reality for your own sake. I mentioned both terrorist and communist for evidence-based reasons. I am literally a naturalized citizen who had to affirm he was not affiliated with communist parties when applying for

No, these are not crimes for all. As a citizen I am free to associate with communist parties. There’s a Communist Party USA that was a top sponsor for the most recent no kings rally. As a noncitizen I may face consequences for such associat

Advocacy can count in certain situations if it’s with the purpose of facilitating the other kinds of “material” support (ie funding).

I think me presenting an argument that basically says that certain noncitizens to the United States face consequences when exercising certain kinds of speech that citizens do not face is substantially different from your rule that I should

This is tantamount to you calling for my execution and the death of other people you perceive to be your political opponents, and ironically it’s over my exercise of speech. It is disgusting what has been allowed to fester on hackernews

It’s not a crack in the argument. I literally reference similar fact in the same comment, if you read to the end. It’s evidence that yes, indeed, citizens and non-citizens do not share the same rights. There is a long history to back this u
