I’m not a professional software person but I’ll offer my two cents as a no-LLMer: I first came to HN in the “todo.txt” era of “productivity hacking” and note-taking -platforms like Evernote. Like many people I had a zettelkasten phase, trie

Aaron Swartz faced 50 years in prison and $1 million in fines for sharing academic research papers on a local network. Meta/OpenAI/et al. rip off copyrights for profit and the Pentagon comes calling with flowers.

Yeah, I agree, if you’re talking about the role of the patriarch as a stoic provider who isn’t allowed to be a vulnerable man with his own emotional needs. It has been encouraging to see how much more men now seem to desire being engaged an

I often wonder in these threads what proportion of the commenters is male. HN skews heavily male, and statistically speaking, fathers are spared a huge chunk of the physical and mental burdens of pregnancy, birth, and parenting. Being a mom

I agree with you. The harmonics/diagonals of the notional rectangle(s) of the piece are more important than any one particular ratio. Phi is no more special than any other self-similar relationship in terms of composition. The root rec
