Were you intending to respond in this thread instead? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46346796

I've also been told the key difference between a Land Rover, and a door-to-door salesman is you can close the door on the latter.

I can yes, the phone sample images on your landing page all render as blank screens, and image loading is not web optimized (they load slowly). Example: https://imgur.com/a/Sh3DtmF…

Won't even begin loading for me.

I hadn't checked since I posted this, but today the entire document appears properly unredacted! Nice work.

This is on FF for me. Specifically Zen, which is FF based.

Is this just a quirk in my display, or are all the code blocks in this formatted like a CIA black highlighter

Regardless of if you agree with the US Constitution's perspective on self-evident rights, your point here does not negate what they said, simply indicates that the Russian governme…

I don't want to have to ask questions like this when using a browser that is intended to anonymize me

Yes, however it still means that the browser is phoning home to somewhere. To be able to make use of that API key, it has to send some data out. Is that data routed over TOR? Does …

I made the decision a few months back to go all in on self-hosting, and my own infrastructure. At least once a week I run into something that makes me realize I made the right deci…

Yes, however it's also an accepted name for it > Low-background steel, also known as pre-war steel and pre-atomic steel, is any steel produced prior to the detonation of the first …

My go-to as well. Pre-war steel.

I'm not sure I follow what you mean, but in general yes. I do find "just read the docs" to be a way to excuse not helping team members. Often docs are not great, and tribal knowled…

Yeah, I tend to agree. The main reason that I use AI for this sort of stuff is it also gives me something complete that I can then ask questions about, and refine myself. Rather th…

The mentality you're replying to confuses me. Yes, people can mess things up pretty badly with AI. But I genuinely don't understand why the assumption that anyone using AI is also …

Exactly, yeah. And once you look over the Ansible, it's a good place to start and expand. I'll often have it emit hemlcharts for me as templates, then after the tedious setup of th…

Right, which is why you go back and validate code. I'm not sure why the automatic assumption that implementing AI in a workflow means you blindly accept the outputs. You run the to…

I agree. I use LLMs heavily for gruntwork development tasks (porting shell scripts to Ansible is an example of something I just applied them to). For these purposes, it works well.…

I don't think it's a flaw as much as the system is operating outside the intended design capacity. Imagine how sideways HN would go if nothing at all changed in the way the site op…

Reddit, in my opinion, is the absolute worst platform for this. It's incredibly easy to manipulate the appearance of consensus opinion. Also, the degree of power the individual mod…

This sounds to me like an argument against platform centralization, as the internet itself isn't a platform, but a protocol. So this is a problem of platforms, and their improper d…

Pen and paper in my opinion is absurd. You will never write code by hand. Ever. Writing things by hand teaches you how to do something in a way you will never use, so the memories …

I tend to agree. But will extend beyond computer science students and say especially people who are self-learning. When I was getting started, I actively tried to minimize the numb…
