I get what you’re saying, but I wouldn’t say easy is the opposite of challenging. As a quick example, I would surely find a day job of manual labor harder and significantly less en…

That makes sense to me. Thanks for explaining. And I'm sorry to you and the parent poster for being needlessly snarky, I wasn't in a great mood when I wrote my original comment. I'…

Just because you can mad-lib something that makes sense at the surface doesn’t make it insightful. How are plungers comparable to LLMs?

Maybe I'm incorrectly parsing your comment, but what does a "founder centric pov" for documentation look like?

People seem to think you’re attacking the article. I read the article but know nothing about aquaponics otherwise, and I was wondering why we don’t see it used more. So I appreciat…

"Sufficiently developed" seems like a cheap proof. There are still many non-technological problems above and below it. For example, how do you ensure everyone on the road has a sel…

Are you making a joke? Not being snarky, I actually can't tell if it's a real suggestion or satirical.

The distance between DeepSeek and Claude is far, far less than the distance between Google Search and any of those.

The frustrating part is that these posts will never post any details about the business, despite the fact that it would immediately invalidate most criticism. It seems to be a simi…

I don’t even know the names of any open source search engines, but the open source models perform decently on various benchmarks and in personal experience. Was it ever even a clai…

I get what you’re saying, but I think it’s fair to view it as equivalent to drinking a protein shake after a workout. You used the resources in a productive and healthy way, now yo…

From what I can tell, the sad truth is that people think “he’s a billionaire / trillionaire, I want to be involved with that.” It’s a variant of the people who pick “Jay-Z” in the …

Personally my least favorite is the overuse of "quietly" (e.g. "No tricks. No marketing gimmicks. Just one company quietly outperforming the others"), and the one that makes the le…

I think it's a little different because: 1. This person is asking us to use/try their product. Very different from a boss/subordinate relationship. 2. This is Hacker News, which ha…

It’s not my area of expertise, but a friend in the field told me the fun fact originally. Looking into it, it seems like smell has the most potential for genetic variance: https://…

I don’t really understand what you mean. How can you have a community without identity? Isn’t that just a category? i.e. “a person who uses rust” vs “a member of the rust community…

Pairs nicely with the fact that smell is the sense most likely to be experienced differently between two people :)

I think this is really insightful. Every "good and invisible" tool I thought of fit neatly into one of those two categories. Examples: Powerful and specialized: automatic transmiss…

Makes sense! My mistake for assuming it was the former definition, lesson learned. Hopefully soon our industry will align on some standard terms. I feel like "AI-assisted", "agenti…

I think programming is work, but I get your point :). And yes, of course - I'm mostly just curious how peoples roles at various companies are evolving as they hand off more and mor…

To be fair, thraway3837 posted a reply on a sibling comment and offered "AMA" :). That said, I do see a lot of those posts you're talking about, and I think a lot of AI development…

Thank you for the thorough reply! I also appreciate that you recognized my question as good faith (and my apologies, based on other replies I should have been less brief to avoid m…

Yes, I'm familiar with these talking points. I didn't mention clean code or solid or frameworks or anything like that. However, the poster explicitly said they don't do what you sa…

To be clear, I didn't mean this as an anti-AI gotcha. They also said: > We get feature requests, improvements, ideas, feedback So maybe I misunderstood, but it sounded like the des…
