You may say that, but it seems to me that by definition vibecoding things will make them less unique because the technology is best suited to reproducing best practices even when t…

If the things you're thinking about are intrinsically so totally worthless outside of impressing people with them, and if that's all there is, please do not attempt to do those thi…

Even if you're entreprenurial, LLMs are useless for this. You can't go really hard unless you can come up with something people weren't expecting, but when they discover it they wa…

It's probably an AI-written article. I was curious enough about the premise, but there wasn't any intention in there, it sort of wanders about going 'ooh'.

I was talking to some friends that are heavy Claude users and suggested it was bullshitting, and got some pushback along the lines of it wasn't a person and didn't have agency. I'm…

Alcohol has existed for zillions of years, but not literally every person is a useless drunkard. You could consider it a class of predator on people who have vulnerabilities that c…

"I don't know" is an extraordinarily powerful answer, but maybe it's getting ruined. I'm not sure it can be entirely ruined. In a human interaction, when used confidently, it means…

Oh, they still are, it's just that it's a rare parrot that can reproduce 'all of the written corpus of three.js' or stochastically align all that with arbitrary and weird condition…

If you framed it as 'the biggest criminal' it'd still be impressive but would read mighty different. Acquiring money and power is no way to go through life. Not at that cost.

I went back to Ohio…

No… they took time from YOUR life to try and take credit for what an LLM produced when asked. And took over from you when you'd apparently chosen not to ask an LLM, as if to say 't…

No Man's Sky has such a range of possible outputs that in theory, nobody can possibly know how it works or what its limits are. That's the mathematical reality of how many combinat…

Now and then it has some thoughts about the Boer that would give that impression. If he's not a total fool, he tries to hide his obvious direct influence to make it be not so heavy…

If they did I wouldn't have had to go to DDG. It's not like it's a big jump over what used to be. I left claw-marks in Google Search, if they drove me off they're in trouble, becau…

You're missing a few words. To be correct you would have to have said 'if nobody's capable of hearing the difference every single time beyond a statistical doubt, does it matter?' …

That would be how you'd go about telling, sure enough. You can't go by 'frequencies' or distortions or anything like that, these analog departures from convincing reality aren't ho…

Hydrasynth aliases like a mad thing. My flagship synth ended up being Summit, and its oscillators are digital but run at a crazy high sample rate. Did likewise with some Chord Orga…

Oh, 3/5ths of a citizen, surely.

You 100% can write them off entirely and go about your business as you previously had done. Ignoring the errors, it is very debatable whether there are even productivity gains beyo…

Worse'n crypto… which I would not have believed possible.

What if you want the world to be demonstrably better, and yet you're pretty sure the world is not just you? Does that count, or is it axiomatic that for every person, the world is …

Landlords are slave owners? Gosh. On the bright side, who knew Hacker News was so revolutionary? Alex, how do you interact with AI? I don't, 'cos I don't use it. Are you one of the…

In fairness, it's our Berlin Wall, and I absolutely would want a piece of the delaminating paint as a souvenir. The difference is we are so early into the collapse that the armed g…

What, all of us? I would suggest that Russia's proxy leaders threatened to invade both those places specifically to weaken US alliances and hurt NATO. So when did we become Russia?…
