    I like to avoid the risks of processed foods by simply not being hungry.

    Aren’t birth rates already at a historical low in most parts of the world?

    Isn’t that the plot of an episode of Always Sunny?

    That’s a solved problem, you just add another agent to check if the tests are any good, and one more to oversee the test-checker, and one more…

    If I did have kids, I probably wouldn’t want them to run around a big heavy robot with very little spatial awareness.

    Very interesting topic, but a strange choice of source. I'd recommend these instead: Coller foundation press release: https://www.jeremycollerfoundation.org/news-and-insights/pre..…

    A point mutation is very unlikely to produce “the next Einstein”, it’ll just produce someone with one slightly different protein in their gut.

    I don’t think the analogy was the issue. What does it mean for a system to be so transparent that it’s obvious when it’s compromised?

    I’m at a large Fortune 500 company. On a recent call, a mandate came from the CEO himself - “we have to use more agentic AI”. And I found it really funny, because for what? Use it …

    Lawyers run the US, I don’t think anything that reduces the country’s dependence on them has any chance of widespread adoption.

    What I’m seeing in that link is that the organization pays 16 people a total of $3.6 million.

    Similarly, I sometimes daydream about those ancient law systems that were so simple that they could be engraved on a stone pillar and placed in a public area. Could you imagine a l…

    Isn’t this just something that any IDE has built-in these days? Maybe I’m missing something, but how is this fundamentally different from the built-in git timeline view from someth…

    This might be an unkind reading, but to me this just sounds like an attempt to reinvent the very same kind of mysticism that it mentions in the first paragraph. “No need to study t…

    That’s not OCD, it’s just paying attention to detail.

    It’s not that much higher, actually. I just looked at some unskilled production line job offers, and looks like they start at 15-18€ per hour. Scale that to full time, and it’s les…

    True, but muscle memory and a couple keyboard shortcuts (or heck, even using the mouse to select and drag the block) is always going to be faster then describing the changes you wa…

    Have you been using the same foldable phone for those 5 years? It’s the price, but it’s also a question of durability.

    I think you’re confusing mastery with marketability. “Other people want to hear it” is at best adjacent to someone’s skill at composing or playing music. There’s plenty of mediocre…
