These are great points. I would add that part of societal buy-in might involve driving the cost of hiring cars down by automating them, though I realize at the moment Waymo can charge a premium because people prefer to not have a human driv

For starters, how bad do you think it would be to unplug all datacenters? How many people starve?

Yes. AIs are a lot better at coding than they are at writing. I author less than 1% of the code I push these days, but still write the grand majority of emails and posts. Probably I would do it 100% human if it was high stakes and I expecte

Yes some of us are having a hard time with it. All of the years we've spent on immutable by default, strong types and dreaming about the lambda has to matter! The AI that just rips out thousands of lines an hour of imperative and weakl

Shouldn't tons of applications linked against musl be crashing all over the Internet if it can express this kernel bug?

Actually, if you implement a JavaScript runtime at all your choice is either too slow for modern web users or `unsafe` everywhere. Runtime values are often simultaneously either words that encode immediates or pointers to heap blocks and do

GitHub is the worst place to host your code. Except for all of the other places.

Sounds a bit like surrender here. There's no reason to read the code anymore. The LLMs produce it inhumanly fast. They can usually debug and fix problems faster than Haskell can compile the project. Meanwhile the open source communitie

Lyme disease is not the only tick disease. There's alpha gal (red meat allergy ) and also ascending paralysis. And more.

My child almost died from a tick. Other children do die. I would gladly kill every tick on Earth and whatever relies on eating them so no human has to lose a kid to this again.

At the minimum I might say you only allow Chrome to access Google Workspace/SSO, which is needed to access like 95% of company resources. This is, in fact, the topic of the OP. You can do additional device management to lock down the r

This is the correct answer. Having your users run multiple browsers by default (instead of with whitelisted exceptions) is now multiple attack surfaces the org has to manage.

It's incredible how hard it is for firms to migrate away from platforms. Clearly you could just give something away for nearly free for 20 years and then jack the price up and make bajillions. Even better if you can charge a mildly hig

After spending years on end doing functional programming I used to stumble when looking at for loops until I got used to thinking that way again. It's funny how different the skills are.

Lisp actually kind of sucks and the community is insufferable but a lot of good things in computer science are unachievable without lambda calculus. Compilers, type inferencing, Rust's borrow checker, some parts of React, async/aw

probably the best use of s-expressions is as an alternative to json which you can implement in 50 lines of code e.g. pretty good for config files or basic serialization

The irony of these fancy FP languages that were designed to develop compilers or to get PL academics off is that they're actually also really good at the most mundane code imaginable. Being able to minimize boilerplate and have strong

A year ago I would have agreed but lately, when it comes to stuff linked off of HN, it's actually more likely to be clear and readable if it's AI written.

It's interesting that despite how common polyamory is in SV, even "eccentric" tech billionaires have to be presenting as monogamous. Polyamory still comes off as a low status behavior.
