Ah, you're right. I actually looked it up after I made that comment and it looks to be a 10% reduction in relative risk per 10g extra fiber consumed Considering Americans as an example only get 10-15g per day, and it's perfectly p

I wonder if it's due to diet. Endurance athletes love their simple carbs, highly processed gels. I've seen plenty of cyclists taking gummy bears on rides for fuel, or a concoction that is effectively sugar water to drink The study

My breakfast: 80g oats, 2tbsp chia seeds, 1tbsp ground flax, a shitload of frozen berries, 50g of mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, whatever), raisins or other dried fruit Delicious and has more than the recommended fiber in one meal. I didn&#x

Here's my definition of good writing: it's efficient and communicates precisely what you want to convey in an easy to understand way AI is almost the exact opposite. It's verbose fluff that's only superficially structure

> what was interesting about a "Show HN" post was that someone had the technical competence to put something together Wouldn't the masses of Show HN posts that have gotten no interest pre-AI refute that?

You're right, a lot of the style can be changed from its default. I don't think you can get rid of the soulless aspect though - the lack of underlying relatable consistency. Especially once you go past a page or two. When you ge

No worse than "junior developer" assuming they were looking to move on from it Writing SEO content for random sites was of course the lowest skilled writing job. Ideally they'd have higher aspirations than that though. Maybe

This type of cadence. You know the one. Choppy. Fast. Saying nothing at all. It's not just boring and disjointed. It's full-on slop via human-adjacent mimicry. Let’s get very clear, very grounded, and very unsentimental for a mome

Of course people will buy software.. but the 80% margins we had of yesteryear won't be there The result of the barrier to entry being erased is that prices will also be driven to 0 as products are commoditized It's hardly worth go

People here saying creativity or having a good idea is the moat You know that if anything you build gets traction, it'll be cloned by 100 people, right?

I'm not sure its a complete nail in the coffin but its definitely going to make things much harder Lower barrier to entry = much more competition, lower prices, lower profit margins

The stakes are very different, both for themselves and society at large if they're set free. They're fighting for their life and freedom, not just a relatively small rent payment These people have also already shown their characte

The thing in the back of my head is that everything they say is tainted by the crimes they committed How do you empathize, or trust that it's not just a ploy to try to get out?

You don't think it's possible you'd notice if you, or the people around you, produced 6 months of work in 3 weeks? The case where it's not obvious is when the effect is <1.5x. I think that's clearly where we&#x27

Some of my friends bought a tonne of bitcoin when it was around ~$100 because it was clearly the future. I'm still not sure if I was an idiot or smart to reject that

Best guess: a few months and it'll spread through dev communities that the effect is a lot more modest than the extreme claims are making it out to be 6-12 months before non-technical leaders take notice and realize they can't act

Why is it an all or nothing decision? Do a small test: if you're 10x faster then keep going. If not, shelve it for a while and maybe try again later

There's a good reason for that. The end result of exploring what they can actually do isn't very exciting or marketable "I shipped code 15% faster with AI this month" doesn't have the pull of a 47 agent setup on a m

If they outlast the competition it might be a really hard market to enter. Models are expensive to train, and they'll get outdated. You're on a time limit to make a profit off of it Google and Meta might be the only real threats a
