On reflection of our entire exchange I do see that I failed to adequately acknowledge and address your point in favor of advocating for what I was initially trying to communicate, …

I’m genuinely interested to know more about this lore you seem to possess. Also, you’re nerd-famous, this is the highlight of my week.

I love async communication, it makes it a lot harder to leave a room in a huff after saying harmful things and then pretending you did not in fact say those things. “Maybe if I was…

Lol, I’m not on amphetamines today this is pure and genuine ADHD “hyperfocus” and my co-occurring “autism special interest” it makes communication on technical subjects hard, cause…

Oh I’m fine with receiving conflicting takes. I wouldn’t post any of this on e.g. reddit because it offers no value to the users there. HN is a different crowd. I am “shutting down…

Except I don’t use “hard drugs” I use a dose of Adderall prescribed to children to correct a specific chemical imbalance that is exceptionally well documented. I could, and did for…

YMMV by person, their neurochemistry, and their living environment. I need a stimulant for my specific biology to adapt to modern expectations.

It’s a brave new world. I recall hearing similar sentiments from linux sysadmins regarding cloud infrastructure. In many respects they were and continue to be correct. In other res…

Modern medicine evolved in much the same manner. Hand wavy practitioners copying each other without rigorous verification of efficacy that resulted in many lives lost. That’s why m…

Seems like the kind of thing that if popular would create an 'arms race' in both directions.

Personally, I would rephrase it to: Ann is 6 years younger than Mary, who is 24 years old. Or even better, Ann is 18 and Mary is 24. But then again, I always disliked word-based lo…

I suppose then the benchmark should be to give it numerous synthetic tax codes written with the same language and conventions as the target tax code and then have it file "tax retu…

I heard you liked Claude, so I put extra Claude in your Claude so you can do more Claude.

My experiences and observations of the moderation on HN is that there doesn’t usually seem to be an unreasonable response to real people trying to engage in a genuine manner. If yo…

First time I’ve seen this take, but man it rings true. I remember having teachers in middle school who seemed draconic to me in their emphasis on proper grammar and punctuation, ho…

Personally I'm not in the habit of printing and eating articles I read, but in the unlikely event that I did I find it even less likely that I would be concerned with its' nutritio…

Damn near a whole generation estranged from basic literary convention due to its horrendous abuse.

It definitely reminds me of the stereotypes of big business types stepping on the little guys to climb the ladder. I hope you get credit where credit is due in future endeavors.

It was the status quo for a long time, then the pesky security researchers started asking for compensation instead of clout.

(Disclaimer: Tech sector specific) It’s wild how different things are at different levels over time. When I started about 8 years ago, any technical skills and experience on your r…

Another excellent legal statement from The Mafia /s Aside from the obvious joke, I feel like a lot of people miss that you can pursue BOTH civil and criminal cases for a given crim…

Google, who has invested in their own hardware supply chain and is already solvent in their own right, seems to be best positioned to force the other players to implement SOTA opti…

The institutions we force on our children often closely mirror the institutions we implement for ourselves. Conversely, the institutions we go through as children mold our percepti…

As we can see by this thread… It’s heavily debated as to whether the intentions we should be following are those of long-dead forbears, or the will of the people, and in the latter…

YahooTube’s comment is heavily implying that the market systems in-place stifled invention via patent restrictions.
