Right? In a way I'm mildly surprised he hasn't had some kind of resurgence, because his style was (is?) actually so prescient of the kind of content that blows up on tiktok or whatever. Not that I'm equating the two—for all I

I'm reminded of Ze Frank's "Brain Crack:" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sHCQWjTrJ8 The idea is that unexecuted ideas can actually become addictive. You keep telling yourself, "boy, that thing is

Maybe someone can clear this up for me. I always thought it was already obvious that neural networks, artificial or otherwise, are symbol systems. Some input pattern reliably associated with some output pattern is, nearly by definition, a s

what's the point of going to burning man? What's the point of going outside? What's the point of reading? what's the point of posting a comment on HN?

I don't understand this perspective. I've developed, delivered and maintained countless Next.js projects and never come close to considering it "high cognitive overhead." It's among the nicest DX I've experienc

Am I missing something? The entire point of next.js is that it's backend+frontend in one project

please define "authentic activity" and "inauthentic activity"

Yeah I'm wondering the same thing. It's bizarre and unsettling and seems off-brand for HN.

China is an authoritarian regime that brutally punishes dissidents. Just throwing this out there because apparently everyone seems to have forgotten this.

Hm? The self-awareness is the advantage. Instead of just regurgitating cringy bullshit, write something sincere, something you actually find interesting, something you liked writing and something you'd enjoy reading. Like any since

I legit love this idea as a general book concept

Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for posting this. It drives me absolutely freaking crazy when people do the "Oh, I'm just not _____," having essentially decided they are not _____, and therefore will never learn or change. Like ever

by virgil_disgr4ce 2mo ago
Yeah; I get the impression that people saying this really mean "I hate the stupid upsells." Which is fine, I do too. But I guess on HN there's more clout to claiming it's the UI that's the problem?
