I think you say “as good as they can get with [the] hard manual work that goes into compiling them” as a way to respect the challenge of the BLS and say they’re doing the best with…

From experience I can say that traders prefer extraordinarily little whitespace in their UIs.

I’m no UI expert - what’s wrong with the margins?

Could you not send a message that pointed to the state that changed in a non-row-specific way?

As someone not good at identifying this myself, what about this post indicates AI editing?

So if the matters to you, run the LTS release, right? I'm not sure I follow the concern.

Distinguished version: write the outline of the slide deck for the talk you plan to give at conferences about it, without having shipped anything or even written code yet.

These takes Arne necessarily incompatible. It can be a great tool for helping you do this kind of big picture design, but still need you as a guide and taste-maker to get to a good…

It’s worrisome, but it’s also worth pointing out that no one else has succeeded at it, or even gotten close. It’s easy to forget that there are not good well-integrated person AI s…

If it helps, I could have written this comment just about word for word, and you can check my account and see that I’m clearly human. I would probably add that I’m nervous about AI…

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you were different than the commenter I was responding to.

Can you link to it? Your comment history does not show such a comment.

Can you explain why? I'm getting better at detecting some kinds of AI writing, but I constantly seem comments like this on HN for things I'm much less suspicious of, and I want to …

Did you read the article? They did not believe that the token the agent had access to had the ability to delete production data using it.

Who is building an artificial wall? Maybe I skimmed the post too fast, but it doesn't seem like this information is being presented as "you have to know/do this before you start ag…

As not a shill myself, who comments on a variety of stuff regularly, I could totally see why the mention of a product someone loves is the thing that pulls them out of lurking.

It’s just how discussion on the internet works, for basically anything at all worth discussing. It’s exhausting, but I can hardly blame HN specifically.

You could break it down further if you like, yes. Everything is complicated by money. I wish we were better about shielding politics from money. So much about society in general is…

Lobbying is literally half of what representative democracy is. First, you elect representatives to office. Then, you try to get them to do what you want. The latter is lobbying. O…

Isn't this post an announcement of time-based billing? Just in a kind of indirect way (not billing, rather than billing). Also, my (extremely naive) understanding is that at the cu…

While it may not have “agency” it definitely doesn’t necessarily do what you tell it. I’d put it as “it may do what you let it.”

I really am quite in awe of Claude Code recently, so definitely not a naysayer, but this is a really important point. It’s so easy to create code, but am I shipping that much to pr…

I’m a heavy user for about four months now, and it’s definitely getting better for me. How would you say it’s getting worse?

What is that spend compared against though? They already spend hundreds of billions of on various things in a year, but what is the marginal spend? When you present these numbers a…
