An interesting "conundrum" (at least from my outsider perspective): how many of those bot requests are from agents that utilize Turso on their backends?

I would guess a real human, one with a good sense of humor at that.

Interesting symbolic angle: as LLMs plateau and are more and more ineffectual at replicating real intelligence, perhaps this is an attempt to keep the sci-fi mythos alive from the …

Always interesting how this kind of snark never seems to go to bat for modern man's average patience and self-control, thus actually proving the naysayers wrong, but always just as…

> what are those agents actually doing? Providing material for attention-grabbing headlines and blog posts, primarily. Can't (in good conscience, at least) claim you had an agent r…

That's a great idea; a good chunk of interesting software design discussion has been crowded out by "here's how to better beg the machine to do the right thing", rather than discus…

> A sanctuary from AI and vibe coding, focused on human engineering Big fan of this project for this reason alone. I hope over the next few years we'll see this more and more not j…

Maybe, just maybe, there's some inkling of truth behind what your political enemies are saying, and you can carefully acknowledge said inklings and even gasp integrate them into yo…

Beautiful, living in Southern Michigan and dealing with slightly more snow than usual this year, I feel like a wimp compared to some of my snowy-weather compatriots here from Norwa…

It's a kind of gaslighting, probably first and foremost for themselves before others.

Some people really do think of soft power, propaganda, shady covert operations, etc. as something "the other guys" do (China! KGB-Putin!), but assume the US is somehow above all th…

Surely there's a lot of CIA involvement there too ;-)

Is it even worth mentioning that the whole "AI is the reason for layoffs" line is a charade, or does everyone here know that already? For anyone who doesn't: the economy is bad in …

Truly the next uncharted, civilization-upending frontier in computing, definitely worth the unlimited consumption of any and all natural resources and investment money.

Presenting this quote without additional commentary is an interesting Rorschach test. Thankfully more and more people are seriously considering the effects of technology on true wi…

Late to the party, but speaking of "challenge your own biases", have you considered that "Christianity" as a blanket term equally covering * historical American Puritanism (of the …

Getting your definitions and worldview from 20th-21st century reactions (many justified) against goofy evangelicalism rather than actual theology and history is likewise frivolous …

Nice job kicking the hornet's nest with this one lol. Apparently it's an objective truth on HN that "scholars" or "philosophers" are the source of objective truth, and they disagre…

It's not about "Pathologising those who disagree", it's about how demonic influence (which anyone can fall victim to) _actually_ works. You've highlighted a very real equivalency i…

I wonder if the concern about "civic institutions" as some unique and special thing within society is a generational thing; as a millennial I've almost always viewed "universities,…

Yeah, it's quite unbelievable people are still repeating the "AI everything -> UBI -> everyone comfortable and well-fed" line. Who's to say the governments won't just let society c…

If the "author" couldn't be bothered to write it, why should the "reader" bother to read it?

Yep, it never fails. Here's another prediction for "The next two years of software engineering"; AI vendors will start to utilize their senior devs' personal domains to write their…
