AFAIK, babies can survive on goat milk (barely). I think I read that this was used in the past when the mother died and there was no wet nurse available.

You mean like what Anthropic announced yesterday ? Code Review can review your code for $15 - $25 per review. /s So now, you can speed up using Claude Code and use Code Review to keep it in check.

I wonder how this will work in practice. Say I'm a senior engineer and I produce myself thousands of lines of code per day with the help of LLMs as mandated by the company. I still need to presumably read and test the code that I push

The solution is for the users to be able to mute/hide accounts. It won't matter if an account has 10k points, once you mute it, you won't see what it posts.

Agree, HN can't be immune to what happens in the programming world. Would be great though if we can have a way to mute or hide accounts. This way each HN user will be able to clean his own feed of articles.

Their code is written by their amazing models (this is what they claim anyway).

Didn't FreeBSD recently dropped their 32 bits x86 version ? At some point every open source OS will remove the parts for which no one is willing to put the work on maintaining it.

I doubt you will want to code professionally in Forth unless you work on embedded, so the dialect you learn doesn't matter too much. But it is interesting to implement a small interpreter and play with it.

How do you know GPT-5 does not call a Python interpreter remotely on OpenAI servers when you ask it to do arithmetic ? Your prompt goes to their servers, you have no way to know what happens there. The only way to be sure a model calls no t

You got me wrong, I did not defended OpenAI - the 180 they did from non profit to for profit was disgusting from a moral point of view. What I was describing is how most businesses operate and how to look at them and not be disappointed.

Nobody should have any illusion about the purpose of most business - make money. The "safety" is a nice to have if it does not diminish the profits of the business. This is the cold hard truth. If you start to look through the opt

I doubt it will be enforced at scale. But, if someone with power has a beef with you, it can use an agent to search dirt about you and after sue you for whatever reason like copyright violation.

This is an exaggeration, if you store the prompt that was "compiled" by today's LLMs there is no guarantee that in 4 months from now you will be able to replicate the same result. I can take some C or Fortran code from 10 yea
