Why assume every HN member has (or should have) a US-centric point of view?

But the other question is the manner in which these were carried out, even if they were needed. There is a real chance he caused needless pain, with long draw out procedure with in…

Could this not be intentional? Who wants to waste time getting a map of "shithole" countries right? /s

I'm talking about the general direction this is taking. I don't think once this is established in enterprises it is going to stop there.

This is going to make things worse for all kind of use cases that are legitimate but seem non-standard or marginal. Heck, many websites I visit on the web cannot understand why I, …

You are committing a type error. Consciousness does not necessarily arise from computation, just as simulating snowfall on the computer does not make it cold

I hear you, but sometimes it is hard to understand why things just stop working for no apparent reason. One more example: Whenever I navigate to the Hacker News login page in the m…

This is what I'm starting to believe. Also, its maybe partly a systems issue: create a product with 1% tolerance for failures; if it has to interface and work with 5 other products…

Even though I'm a software engineer with long experience with serious projects, I'm become so disillusioned with the whole thing nowadays. Forget the ridiculous AI hype, forget abo…

Yep, never own a domain with NameCheap. My experience was kind of opposite, but still bad nonetheless. I lost domains I had with them simply because I lost the phone I used for 2FA…

Sorry, I meant if the couple were regular visitors to those areas in Tuscany known for malaria. I do agree that this test is still inconclusive, which was the point of my original …

Nice project, but what is "hidden" gem about Elmina castle in Ghana? If Cape Coast Castle is described as "world renowned", then Elmina should be as well. I live in Ghana their pop…

Your article is all over the place and seems to have agenda. It is unable to stay on point and present a coherent argument. I'd rather trust the Nytimes and the UK intelligence who…

Japan should be the last country with a complaint. Read up on unit 731, at least, if you are unaware of the rape of Nanking or it does not convince you.

There is more to my comment than meets the eye. You should not assume ignorance on my part.

Why Japan? What do they have to complain about?

Better as one word "vibecounterexamplemaxxing"

It may not be a lot of dying at once, but some modern wars are rivaling these catastrophic wars of old in casualties. By some counts there have already been at least a million casu…

It's not over-engineering if you are committed to what you are building for the long term, and know you'd very likely need stronger architecture at a certain time. No one starts a …

Isn't Anthropic anti software engineering? This state of affairs is exactly what you should expect.
