    etcd is notoriously unreliable and one of the biggest problems in k8s. I didn't know Go just isn't a good language for it, but now that I know I'm no longer surprised at etcd being…

    The incentive is there, but their money making niche is to solve problems you can't solve locally with a 30b, so they're unlikely to stray into territory owned by ultra cheap to ru…

    Ollama uses "consumer UI guidelines", it's the second worst AI tool to use for anything more than writing fanfic.

    I'm guessing you also haven't asked. All places are very much not the same degrees of sensitive and important.

    It's factual. With receipts. What do you find unreasonably hateful in the statement?

    If you write more good code by hand than by agent in 2026 that says more about you than anything else (either your ability to give instructions or your ability to delegate). The co…

    I agree with most of your points too. But some of them are kinda bullshit. For instance, why would you blame Google for unattended kids dumb enough to go on a "5h" wilderness trip …

    I attribute this to a hazy memory of "previous ways". Either that or you're in some very well supplied area. I remember not being able to get books, I remember walking for hours in…

    All of Amazon, Apple, all the AI stuff, Google, including YouTube, yes. They make tons of money for the US. Value is somewhat more subjective, but Amazon for instance certainly cre…

    Read the post. It's all fear mongering around a very balanced response from the WMF. Could they engage in union-busting? Sure. Did they? No.

    Because solving a real world problem is fun. Doesn't really matter how frivolous the problem is, there's always something to be learned when creating a new system.

    Most of the big ones. Only issue is the US is crap at collecting tax from them.

    You're still cutting a take off and landing so I can't imagine it'd be too hard to break even for flights where this increased capacity is helpful.

    Martin was convicted on three counts of securities fraud. The TL;DR is he was shilling a successful fund while sitting on massive losses. A Madoff kinda thing. This has nothing to …

    Not really. Using leverage has risks that you're supposed to understand before you do it. It's not a free lunch, unless you're putting the sharks' interest ahead of yours. Or cluel…

    Because hn is primarily about competence, knowledge and tech, which Martin has in spades. The arguments against him barely hold water in general anyway.

    You should be the one driving Claude instead. If the offshores need PR review then they're literally adding no value at all. If you're wasting time reading slop PRs then you're als…

    You're right, but the "just" in "just finetune" is doing _a lot_ of work here. It's still early days and we "just" don't really know how to do it well.
