Very well said. Programming has always felt like converting thought-stuff into something that the computer can understand. That's still the same, it's just a different language, and much faster. My hot take is: if people are sayin

You’re layering several hypotheticals on top of each other, which leads to progressively distant possibilities. Good on you for caring about humans though

For what it's worth, Bun is written in Zig ( https://bun.sh/ ). The language isn't exactly in an early stage.

Palantir came to me multiple times over the years asking me to interview as a senior swe. The temptation was very strong back then. Insane pay package as you can imagine... but I had a really bad feeling about them and always turned them do

Sure, they build innocent dashboards in the same way that your name is an innocent Dutch word. Obvious bad faith arguments coming from a troll.

Thanks for sharing. Absolutely right; people need to feel useful and valued—not to mention, jobs can help us get out of the house and connect with people. Just to be clear, are you saying the only life work that you can find fulfillment in

Runaway capitalism! Time for me to log off for another ~2 years

Elites unilaterally claiming and reaping the benefits of automation (i.e. consolidation of wealth) is not a law of nature.

You’re right and validating the point. A specific part of GP’s comment keeps getting overlooked: So the problem isn't robots, it's the structure of how we humans rely on jobs for income. Humans being forced to trade time fo

Equating “business” to “profound human intimacy” might be one of the most HackerNews comments of all time

You’re getting a lot of negative feedback for whatever reason, but you’re absolutely right. I for one remember reading about possible silicon/methane based life, etc. Actually, here’s a whole wikipedia article on what you’re talking ab

If you have the money for it, you should really consider hiring a contract artist to supplement your gaps. A concept artist and a 3D modeling artist altogether will cost like $3000 for 1 fully complete character that fits your vision. For 2

This is awesome, I'll try it out when I get back to the office. Very nice find

WOW that's amazing how different people's experiences can be. I smoked one pack spread out 2 or 3 days, for about 3 years (in college). Rarely would do a full pack in a day. Quitting was pure torture. I stayed up 24 hours walkin

There is no hate here nor anything intended to be a personal attack on specific individuals, but clearly my comment struck a nerve. This comes across as a saddeningly extreme armchair psychological evaluation and extrapolation to just attac

Sharing this in a forum full of "billionaires temporarily down on their luck" is bold and not likely to end well; yet, I agree with you and GP. Hacking should not be synonymous with runaway capitalism, siphoning human energy, and

In the same way that vaporizing vicious dictators--subtracting how many people they personally killed by their own hands--would have no detectable difference to global murder rate. This specific idea of limiting CO2 is being taken a bit too

Well, I'm glad we're finally on the same page that you are in fact specifically defending top-consuming billionaires. Conversation ends here

by warent 3y ago
Maybe the disconnect here is a misunderstanding of how much wealth billionaires have. We could increase fuel tax by 1000x, increase landing fees by 1000x, and this would not even begin to give billionaires pause on waste and excess flying.

by warent 3y ago
Not sure why you're so deeply triggered by this; is your name on that list of top consumers that you would be personally affected? Your comment comes across as yet another average joe randomly defending billionaires wrecking the world

This is the classic teenage thought of sitting in a bus / subway looking at everyone thinking they're sheep without their own thoughts or much awareness. For everyone who we think is an NPC, there are people who think we are the N

The number of comments here of people fearing there is a ghost in the shell is shocking. Are we really this emotional and irrational? Folks, let's all take a moment to remember that AI is nowhere near conscious. It's an illusion b

Interesting, the way I interpret what you're saying is "Obviously ChatGPT can make an accurate medical diagnosis" in the same way of "Obviously a Python app can be rewritten in Go" Go has been around for quite a whi
