It's because everything Republicans say is projection. They want to cheat, so accuse the Democrats of doing it first. In actuality it's the current admin that's laying gound-work f…

Looks beautiful, congrats on the launch! I've been looking for a replacement for my Apple Magic keyboard. I would love to buy one, but ISO layout is a must for me, also would like …

I'm taking a slightly different approach. I've started a project where I intentionally don't use agentic coding. I use LLMs for researcher and to learn, but write all the code by h…

Who is in charge of certifying implementers? What happens when I provide an implementation and don't verify anything at all?

How does this work if you use Linux or Graphene OS?

I don't want the market solving this. If we are going to do age checks it should be based on public key cryptography, be open source, and handled by the government. You verify with…

Do all the writing yourself, use LLMs for research and as an editor only. When using an LLM as an editor never copy its verbatim suggestion into your prose.

> One sufficient policy would be to price everything in money + co2 equivalent currency. Every person in a country gets a certain co2 currency budget per year. Pretty simple actual…

Even if you are correct, in practice there's no way to put this particularly genie back in the bottle. It's the same as trying to argue that we should solve our energy problems by …

Yeah fair, having experienced Japanese trains I fully agree about the comfort. I'm not arguing that we shouldn't build high speed rail and try to shift more travel to trains instea…

I was saying a bit of both. megablast is correct that there are alternatives, but I'd maybe quibble with "viable". For example you can get from Stockholm to Umeå with a 1 hour flig…

Flying is a bit unique in that there aren't really viable alternatives. It also accounts for a fairly small portion of emissions. Land transport (cars and trucks), power generation…

7+ years ago GPT2 couldn’t be released because it was deemed too dangerous[0]. It was, of course, eventually released. 0: https://openai.com/index/better-language-models/

I don't usually check in compiled artifacts myself.

I feel it's a faux pas to pass off work entirely or partially done with AI as your own. I make sure I leave those lines in specifically for that reason.

I'm not saying "never use C". The thing I dislike is the false dichotomy between "(Zig|C|Go) is simple unlike Rust, which is complex". A statement like that makes it sound like wri…

Of course Rust has a few footguns too, that's not my point.

> There is no sense pretending anymore that languages with as many gotchas as C and Zig are "simple". Quite simply, they are not. The complexities lie in what's left unspoken, unad…

The Dunning-Kruger thing wasn’t meant to disparage the developer and certainly not to call them stupid. It’s simply a reflection on not knowing what you don’t know and thinking you…

It's not uncommon it's used in France, which has a population of 66M (also Belgium). This is just a classic case of a developer situated firmly at the first peak of the Dunning Kru…

> with rust you have 2x more ways to shoot yourself in the foot. The checking isn't how you shoot yourself in the foot, it's the absence of checking. Rust doesn't allow you to forg…

You sound like people who claim AI is freeing because it has removed the gatekeeping of programming when programming was never gatekept, all you needed to do was dedicate time to l…

That makes sense, but I would love to see the data on it. I don't doubt at all that capitalism in isolation is viewed more favourably in the US, but that doesn't preclude the inter…

I don't doubt that's true for everyone who reads HN, but having seen the other side there are loads of people who don't make the effort and could've found their own answer in the k…

Agree. I actually think we'll see a resurgence in art and graphic design as a consequence. At least for now people can spot AI generated artifacts and many immediately have a negat…
