>> "but practically speaking [they] are broke" > How do you know this? They were not claiming a fact, they were posing a hypothetical.

If you haven't watched this talk by Matt Might on Precision Medicine with MiniKanren, you will surely find it inspiring https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt3XyeFHvt4

Reminds me of Borges

Two years ago, I started a new company, and decided at the outset to avoid using any heavy JavaScript SPA framework. We stuck to simple server-rendered html and only use progressiv…

That's interesting. Every evangelical with whom I've spoken seems to be willing to give Israel carte blanche

The city of Corpus Christi, TX is currently considering options for desalination plants—all of which pump their brine into the shallow water inside the bay or the ship channel.

Not unique to software engineers, but a significant factor is that many technical founders are highly specialized. As a result, they use language from their field, draw on cultural…

Wow. Never thought I'd see J&J's come up on HN, but as soon as I saw the title, I was intrigued for exactly this reason. I was there too in the early 00's. Small world.

I know the Chernobyl fallout had a pretty significant impact on agricultural in the region, but I don't think I've ever heard about anything similar in New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma,…

I think the `/remote-control` feature does this, if I understand you correctly.

Cool project! My folks get Cliff Swallows nesting under the eaves above their door in central Texas and they make a huge mess. I wish we could encourage them to nest on the side of…

This is an unnecessarily rude, dismissive, and low value comment. I loved this game growing up and I think it's fantastic to see this work. I don't find it particularly relevant wh…

Sometimes I do this, but sometimes it's just more work than it's worth. I have started to do this a bit more with language models to help reduce the toil, but I yearn for a more ri…

I'm enjoying pasting early 2000's era blog posts in here and learning that they too were LLM slop!

I have long wanted a tool to help split large diffs into smaller semantic changes. When you're working on a feature, for example, and end up refactoring along the way, you may wish…

I have a volunteer fig tree growing in a container on my patio in the middle of a bunch of onions. I have always heard of people transplanting them from cuttings, presumably becaus…

This sentiment is quickly becoming the most annoying low-effort comment on HN. If you don't want to read it, don't read it. If something about the writing offends you, then describ…

This is a Markov Chain based generative arpeggiator. It stochastically walks through diatonic chord changes using weights derived from Hook Theory's database of chord change trends…

It's so disappointing that this has become a meme. Lot's of people write with em-dashes. If you want to criticize the _writing_, then do so.

I find that this idea of restricting degrees of freedom is absolutely critical to being productive with agents at scale. Please enlighten us as to why you think this is nonsense
