This is kind of the point I am trying to make that sovereignty is somewhat of a spectrum and there are a lot of options for preserving parts of it. I think the Westphalia thing is …

> HK always was bound to become a part of China Why so? Do you think Monaco should be part of France? Do you think Singapore should be part of Malaysia? A lot of big countries resp…

I would never ask a question on stack overflow because half the time it seemed to be flagged a dupe or for some other reason and it brought you closer to being disallowed to ask. I…

I see this advice a lot in various forms. I think people are probably too conflict averse on average so there is some merit to it but there are limits. I feel like there are a lot …

This is such an interesting comment thread because people have such wildly different opinions and from my perspective the entire disagreement just comes from company size. I am a "…

I am pretty skeptical of how useful "memory" is for these models. I often need to start over with fresh context to get LLMs out of a rut. Depending on what I am working on I often …

> When just a few years ago, having AI do these things was complete science fiction! This is only because these projects only became consumer facing fairly recently. There was a lo…

Any physical process can be interpreted as computation. Computation is in the eye of the beholder. Interpreting life as computation doesn't really add anything new we are just desc…

In general, I think the dependency hate is overblown. People hear about problems with dependencies because dependencies are usually open source code used by a lot of people so it i…

I am extremely skeptical of this mathematical model to predict history thing. There's just not enough history to do it and you bake in your biases when you go through the qualitati…

Fair I stopped using Go pre-generics so I am pretty out of date. I just remember having this conversation about generics and at the time there was a large anti-generics group. Is i…

I find the way people talk about Go super weird. If people have criticisms people almost always respond that the language is just "fine" and people kind of shame you for wanting it…

This just makes it even more frustrating to me. Everything good about go is more about the tooling and ecosystem but the language itself is not very good. I wish this effort had be…

These people's theories (except Turing) are highly speculative predictions about the future. They could be right but they are not analogous to the predictions we get out of epidemi…

I honestly can't tell if you're being facetious. Maybe I suck at writing and don't properly understand sarcasm but unfortunately I'm only human.

I don't agree that it is because of the "quality" of the video. The issue with AI art is that it lacks intentional content. I think people like art because it is a sort of conversa…

I'm very skeptical of this psychoanalysis of people who disagree with you. Can't people just be wrong? People are wrong all the time without it being some sort of defense mechanism…

> I do feel that there is a routine bias on HN to underplay AI It's always interesting to see this take because my perception is the exact opposite. I don't think there's ever been…

I think it's fair to point out that they were never intended to be a good framework for aligning robots and humans. Even in his own stories they lead to problems. They were created…

There are some great native apps out there and a lot of them do things you couldn't do on the web, but nowhere near close seems like a stretch to me. There are some great web apps …

I totally agree. I don't get why people feel so strongly that native apps are better. The web technologies we have are great both from a developer experience perspective and a UX p…

This doesn't make any sense. When people say this they mean they want more social spending and they are willing to pay more taxes to get it. The budget is what it is, the administr…

I think this is fair. Untracked TODOs should be minimized but I think there is value in recording how some section of code could be improved even if you know you are unlikely to do…
