That's...wow. What an absolutely disappointing reply. If "be kind" is an actual value of HN I have yet to see it in almost 15 years of being active on this forum. This community is generally speaking not kind and fulminating

Thanks for your reply. Yep, you got me with that word. Exposure has become totally toxic to me, just like "merit."

I worked with a guy once whose previous employer, a startup, had been bought by a large well-known entertainment company (famous for running an amusement park or two in Southern California). He told me that when they had the company party,

Grok might be able to find the cure for cancer but as long as it's associated with Musk, not touching that thing with a 10-foot pole. (Simon's analysis, of course, is lovely)

Funny this article is trending today because I had a similar thought over the weekend - if I'm in Ruby and the LLM hallucinates a tool call...why not metaprogram it on the fly and then invoke it? If that's too scary, the failed to

Interesting article, I'll admit when I first saw the title I was thinking of a different kind of "scaling" - namely the client/server decoupling in X11. I still think X11 forwarding over SSH is a super cool and unsung&#x

Yeah it's odd. Was it a warning or a prophecy? Was it both? Hard to say I suppose.

I’m a 90s kid so there’s something poetic about Zuck choosing Oakley for this, feels on-brand for him. In my mind it was inevitable that we would reach this point. The novel Snow Crash predicted this exact phenomenon (along with the Metaver

Reading this article I couldn’t help but remember the Key & Peele skit about joke theft - “high on potenuse.” All this AI training feels similar to me on some level. Yeah, it’s “just making a copy” on the other hand the person who origi

Sometimes if I'm reading something and having trouble with the words or sentences, I'll slow down and focus on the individual letters. Usually helps a tremendous amount.

Agree, The Economist knows who they are and they're very happy to throw some acidic British humor into their writing for fun.

They've always been upfront about their bias, in no way are they trying to hide it. Way back when I was in college 20 years ago they ran a very funny article poking fun at all the PhD's doing "deconstruction" on The Econ

100% agree on this. It’s 1995 all over again. AI is as big (or bigger) as the Internet back then. Hype to totally insane levels but eventually all things that go up must come down. In the meantime, the usual suspects are gonna make a whole
