Sometimes in an effort to understand things I'll try and take them to their limit. One limit, framed as a path to a kind of dystopia is "wire heading". Another more tangible limit …

That would imply they created their hacker news account when they were 3-8 years old. Seems unlikely. Its more likely that they simply value all the convenience they listed over ha…

When certain people are convinced that all wealth and success are only achieved through exploitation, then it's easy to lack empathy and consideration for anyone more wealthy or su…

That is not at all what I meant. I mean that if you accept that the market demand for software development is evolving and you evolve with it you won't end up starving on the stree…

Whether or not it's a shitty deal is ultimately up to you. For all of history the environment has put evolutionary pressure on living things. If you choose to make a deal with the …

I'm a decent full stack web developer, who knows almost nothing about kernel architecture or machine code. Before LLMs I could make a functional app, despite not understanding seve…

As someone who cooks most of my own meals (and almost never eats out) I agree. I also know quite a few people who don't know how to cook at all and the thought of cooking stresses …

Usefulness depends on intended job to be done. A hair dryer isn't very useful at drying clothes. If someone spent a lifetime mastering woodworking with hand tools, and then was sho…

I struggle to understand how they can frame for the greater good to be anti-distillation and pro-open-weight-models. I can understand how they would be against competitors distilli…

I haven't done a financial deep dive into SpaceX since all the consolidation, been focused on other things, so I really don't know how to price it either. It feels overpriced to me…

Everything you said sounds about right to me. The point I was making was based on a reference to their market cap when it was $20bn in 2018. At the time there was overwhelming and …

Comparing revenue, without at least also comparing revenue growth rates and leverage ratios is really nonsense financial analysis. It was the same thing with Tesla. Everyone scream…

Two things about your line of thinking stand out to me: The first is a subtle implication that the share price of SpaceX is dependent on the short term feasibility of data centers …

> I hope so but whenever I do, I feel like I'm coping hard and not dealing with the facts. Maybe I'm being naive, but as someone who spent 2015-2025 fully bought into the idea AI w…

> The only thing that matters is if LLMs with sufficient scaling can become frontier AI researchers kicking off the exponential I agree with your sentiment (about the noise), howev…

I pointed out the question you asked seemed disingenuous and how it appeared you weren't being intellectually curious (which is the point of HN). If you treat every criticism as a …

> Is it possible to get constructive feedback? sure, maybe. Not maybe, definitely. > it possible to get a specific teacher's feedback? Not really. Yes actually it definitely is. > …

Okay, I'm coming around to your point that "everything in moderation" is a reasonable generalization. My gut still says it's easily misinterpreted and can be used as justification …

One interpretation of your comment is "LLM chat bots don't" or more specifically "ChatGPT doesn't", but I feel like this is a straw man and not intellectually honest answer to my q…

1. Containment requires realtime adjustments to control fields which benefit from very powerful specialized machine learning models. 2. Designs require advanced simulations which b…

I'm not who you asked, but here are what good generalizations are to me: 1) days contain more photons than nights 2) water boils at 100 degrees Celsius 3) eating excessive sugar wi…

Random passerby here... There is a term for your argument, it's called a "suckers choice".

My comment conveyed the meaning that you aren't adequately interpreting the point of GP. To ask "What point?" Is disingenuous, since the point was laid out pretty clearly in the li…
