Why write a sentence by sentence exigesis like this? The text you are responding to is right above where you are writing. Who is going to miss that context? Is there something more that you want to communicate other than that the linked page does not in fact solve it the way the LLM did? Writing more does not in itself make a comment more thoughtful! We are all presumably on the same page here, just say what you want…

Because the annotation is making it clear what exact part of the comment I'm referring with each part of my answer. > Who is going to miss that context? On hacker news? Anyone. Sometimes you blink and there are 200 different comments between the comment you responded to and your response. Often going into different tangential directions. People reading your comment have to trace subtle variations in padding to follow…

If there was truly no other way you could of articulated your argument there in your mind, then I am sorry for suggesting otherwise I guess!

And fwiw, I just collapse comments if its hard to follow a particular thread! That's why they have that feature.

It can build a C compiler or browser if you don't know or care that it's a buggy collage of the dozen or so existing open-source C compilers or browsers, with no bearing on its ability to solve novel problems for your business. In the months since those original stunts were pulled, the same playbook has been applied to the math and infosec spaces with some degree of success, and to the medical, legal, etc. etc. with…

That's true, what happened to the vibecoded browser? The fact that Rust-Bun is in production does somewhat show it is possible, but I guess that has a lot of human effort in it too.

Well again, it shows that translation of existing logic is possible. It's impressive when compared to what came before, but it's categorically different to human intelligence, let alone "super(human)intelligence"

Why don’t you solve such problems?Being “not impressed” sounds more like a knowledge gap on your part than an informed opinion.

Why are you so toxic?

How ironic for you to say that to me. Maybe you can use ai to help explain it to you.
