Enormous monitors aside it's funny, even though more than a quarter of a century has passed, how contemporary those office scenes look. Even the on point trendiness of the "unfinis…

We're not talking about the friend. I'm talking to the person I responded to: I'm saying they should have recommended a better tool to their friend. My HR friend found Lovable off …

> how could you possibly know to go search for Lovable, let alone figure out agents? Is this an actually serious question? Am I losing my mind here? I didn't tell my HR friend abou…

No, not really. My HR friend went out and found Lovable on her own. You're acting like people can't Google, or even ask an LLM via a Chatbot interface for recommendations for tools…

Interesting, but... wrong tool, wrong job. And by tool, I mean web based chat interface, not LLMs in general. (Maybe wrong delivery mechanism, if you like.) Your friend needed an a…

> I don't think the average person has to be taken into account all the time. This needs to be said louder and more often whenever this "average person" argument is trotted out. Ex…

If there’s a big difference then it will certainly impact on willingness (and ability) to pay, depending on the cost of premiums, so I’d say it’s very relevant.

What’s the salary difference between doctors and cops of similar experience levels on average in the US?

OK, this was fun. But I think the real problem is that we’re pushing carbon into the atmosphere that has hitherto been sequestered for upwards of millions of years deep underground…

I like your way better. I like your way a lot better. A: It’s actual justice, and B: Otherwise it just becomes another way for insurance companies to make money - in this case by c…

> not mobile friendly. It’s not what I’d call mobile unfriendly either. I had to zoom in slightly but then it’s perfectly readable in landscape. Some very basic inline responsive C…

> I wouldn't I'm not talking about you though, am I? I'm saying that there are people working in this field who will do exactly that. We are now going in circles.

No, I absolutely realise that: but it's irrelevant. It doesn't make them safe. And after reading the linked BBC article, along with the article linked from the discussion at https:…

> was being tested in a controlled environment, but found vulnerabilities and managed to escape. Uh-huh. It's worth keeping in mind that we are here talking about people who simply…

Yeah, what convinced me was seeing friends’ setup that they’d had for 10 or 15 years still working flawlessly.

As someone who watches a reasonable amount of PoV outdoor activity footage shot on helmet cams and the like (base jumping, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, etc)… I don’t love…

Yeah, we ordered a double width pax with sliding doors, drawers, shelves and lighting, plus another half wardrobe with a mirror door, shelves, and lighting. I’m fairly handy and qu…

I just noticed that by around 2015 it had got super toxic and snippy. Usually I’d find answers on SO. Relatively rarely I’d ask questions but, when I did, I’d always try and follow…

It’s also practicality and ergonomics: old furniture is nice to look at but it’s often awkward to use (e.g., squeaky wooden drawer runners that require periodic waxing to keep them…

> piss easy to assemble Sure, it’s not hard, but if there are a lot of steps it’s still going to take longer. A fully specced up pax double wardrobe with drawers, sliding doors, an…

Weekend HN is definitely where the more interesting and offbeat content lives, and I often find myself enjoying it significantly more as a result. During the week, well, it would b…

It's a brave new world, etc., isn't it? One does find oneself slightly askance at one's own thinking sometimes, that's for sure. But I suppose, is it really so different? I mean, b…

I don't know how you'd enforce that unless it was something you could mandate at the level of the API call, and then the API call is rejected if the customer hasn't configured it f…

I imagine this will be because a decent chunk of the IP in Codex is probably within its prompts, how they're built, and how they're sequenced and orchestrated, rather than in the c…
