This seems less about frontier models and restriction and more just lack of compute capacity to meet demand. This has always been an issue for large clients running on cloud, thoug…

Can you explain what your point really was then? Belittling the idea of hotlines seemed central in your messaging and the possible exploitation of data more of a secondary thing. I…

> React is the literal worst of all the modern JavaScript frameworks and yet that's what everybody insists on using. That's rather amusing. "Am I wrong? No it's the rest of the wor…

My (personally) humorous interpretation was that they were extending your joke by implying the only users using FF are devs and they are the ones that care.

Anyone have examples where fold leads to easier to read code than a for loop in Rust?

I think people are missing that you're being satirical (maybe there is a better word for it?). Unless I'm the one being wooshed.

"most fraudsters are not evil people, they just follow the incentives and almost non-existent disincentives" Maybe I'm too idealistic but why does following incentives with no rega…

> Why invent "safety" practices and ignore every documented software engineering best practice? That seems unnecessarily brutal (and untrue). > 2,000 line long modules and 200-line…

I'm not saying you're entitled to a paycheck - a company has the right to fire you for your differences in politics. But if you frame it as a relationship, communication can help b…

A lot of work can be inherently political. If your company pivots into mass surveillance is it unreasonable to speak up if it's against your ethics framework?

Isn't having a private entity be able to do what previously required a nation a good sign for that nation? The idea that the USA cannot re-obtain that capability again seems silly …

Money and tech. Their dev experience is imo better than Google. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the best out of all large tech companies.

I mean, it's not really wrong, is it? :D Have you tried the same with gpt4?

4) Throughput is probably a better metric than density and that's hard to guess from static images.

Is the gas in the car you parked publicly really yours ("private") if there is a way to siphon it out? Just because there is a way to obtain a resource doesn't make it yours automa…

Yeah.. but do you think most ultra-rich elite are pushing against entropy or contributing more to it or at best staying neutral while further growing their wealth?

For certain things I think so. For me the fascinating and really useful utility of LLMs is their ability to synthesize answers to questions. This is something search generally spea…

> You have no idea the wave of disruption coming. Cool, but can you give some concrete examples so it doesn't sound like you're being extremely hyperbolic? > Even adapting to the n…

Then you would encourage people to have behaviors that trend towards criminal so they would get paid. But I agree with the thrust of the idea - investing that money in reducing fac…

I can't speak for large games but the Bevy build-run loop is quite fast for smallish games (say 10k loc). Certainly more pleasant than say Python or JS where it starts fast and the…

Agreed. Most code at the top tech companies isn't interesting or even necessarily good. The hardest part of jumping into a new code base is almost always understanding the problem …

That's too simplistic of a statement. Sometimes you have to drive some segments out to keep others or to keep advertisers happy. If HN didn't put effort in curating the community w…

True, but achieving that sustainably is a problem at least 2 orders of magnitude more difficult. Let's take the wins where we can.

There are good use cases for WASM in the browser where the js shim is transparently provided for you, e.g. for game engines that export to web. As for non-web use, I believe the wa…

You need employees to care about their employer. This won't happen if the employer doesn't care about the employees first. I am not sure how true this is but I have a feeling a lot…
