Yeah, it is complete bullshit. Even if they don't do it straight away, once they have the spyware in place, it's only a matter before they do. It is Meta after all.

The anti-Cursor sentiment here is baffling to me given how useful it is to me. I use it interactively and actively review everything it produces. I like how I can plan a feature and refine the plan before instructing the agent to implement

I don't have a stake and I'm not disagreeing, but care to say why?

The cost to bootstrap a sovereign cloud offering in Europe that can even begin to compare to the big ones in the US would be humongous. There would need to be a solid, multi-year incentive for a company/startup to even want to attempt

You and me, brother. The writing is unnecessarily convoluted.

I'd say each move like this increases the likelihood of the next one happening, and typically, nobody wants to be the last one holding the bag.

I see societal changes like container ships turning. Society has a massive cultural momentum so of course not much has changed today, but we'll have seen big changes years from now. The tools are only just getting really good at what t

I get this. I couldn't grind leetcode before the LLM AI era, now even more so. It always made me feel like I'm doing a junior's work. I guess it comes down to the kinda work you want to be doing. I myself love building prod

I had the same feeling. The underlying message has merit, but the format felt very similar to a lot of the get-rich-quick landing pages. I had to edit some of the CSS to get through the page at all.

It's not wasting energy if it genuinely helps you build products much more efficiently. Regardless of our feelings towards it, it is here and it's making a difference. You can either move with the times or be left behind.

I honestly can't see what's wrong with using TypeScript anywhere in place of JavaScript. Unless you're making a simple script or a throwaway prototype, then you're pretty much always better off with it. It's invalua

Here are mine - go and do something that excites you, whatever it is. Also, be respectful of the local culture and have common sense, et voila. Whatever you do... > Crash a wedding. You are not a nuisance; you are the celebrity guest

That's my problem with a lot of the literature on building successful businesses. They all seem to be offering a white glove path and don't talk about all the tactics ranging from shady to downright illegal that helped many of the

With all due respect, this feels better suited as a journal entry rather than a comment on a HN thread.

Nitpicky, but I admit I stopped there for a second too.. like how did it get past even a half assed editorial review

And I guess tech companies need to be reminded that human lives are more valuable than investors money.

Free markets don't work. Corporations absolutely will abuse their position and power to establish monopolies wherever they can, blocking any new entrants to the market. I wonder how we (europeans) would ever regret regulation to stifle

You really can't speak for everyone. You can maybe say this particular cohort is fine despite seeing some of this content while young, but certainly not because of it.

Great. I think few people have any doubts about social media being a net negative for young people.

I mean that's what web crawling is, right? By extension, you just can't reach a page unless you stumble upon a link to it _somewhere_. Google gives you an option to submit a link and schedule a crawl that way, so that's anoth

Cynical view: without new regulation in the area of AI, it will reduce the value of labor in many domains and completely eliminate the need for it in many others. Profits will go to companies like OpenAI, unemployment will rise and people w

I don't want to sound crude but... really? How about a few sensors to check for aircraft presence on the runway and some way to feed that information to surrounding traffic? There's a million different ways this could be done, you

Of course it was because of a human error. A passenger plane landed on a runway that already had another plane on it. At least have a proper alerting system in place, we've had the tech for decades, you don't even need AI for any

I wonder if that's a sign of things to come. Nowadays it's (in most cases) pay so you don't see ads, but in the future it will probably shift towards pay so you see fewer ads kind of model. I mean Spotify already kind of does

I mean, since we're boiling things down.. I guess you could say 1. Make a good thing 2. Market it Which the OP does very well, and has done with this post on HN which will no doubt boost his meetup even more.

Strongly disagree. I do think trivial work is not paper-worthy and it would be more beneficial not to publish such work, as it mostly a waste of time for the peer reviewing it and the readers who will gain nothing from reading it. It's

Oh well. Maybe it's about time incompetent people were named and shamed, maybe that would put a stop to failing upwards for people who really shouldn't be there.

That is such a weird position to take on the matter, that offers literally no advantages and a several disadvantages.
