When people show you who they are, believe them. This is what the Republican party is about.

Yeah this is really lame. I used it because I like Mozilla and thought Pocket's future would be relatively safe in their hands. I'm sure a lot of HN readers view any of Mozilla's operations outside of Firefox as a distraction

Definitely true currently, which is why there's so much focus on using them to write real code that humans have to actually commit and put their names on. Longer term, I don't think this holds due to the nature of capitalism. If g

Note that these people often condescendingly refer to themselves as "rationalists," as if they've unlocked some higher level of intellectual enlightenment which the rest of us are incapable of achieving. In reality, they&#x27

You're right, I'm thinking about the future. We're still in the window where the tools aren't really ready. If you need to get shit done right now you have to mostly do things the old way with similar headcount. I as

The plural of anecdote is not data, but your personal experience definitely aligns with the "vibes." AI will remove the need for a lot of tech worker cycles. Period. The idea that "some new work" will just show up to fil

Exactly, now they have the best of both worlds: let Microsoft host the code using a standard VCS, but avoid lock in by continuing to use their own issue tracker and project management software.

It's the exception that proves the rule. Things look stable until they aren't. There are enough "tense diplomatic situations" happening all the time, and given a long enough timeline eventually some will fail and end in

This guy is obviously senile, so it's pointless to even try to analyse this. What did he mean when he said this? Who knows - he probably doesn't even remember himself. What will the resulting policy, if any, actually be? His advis

It is not at all unusual for a Trump EO to look like this. Almost all of them really do read like propaganda. Most other administrations were more... considered in their choice of language.

Are we even reading the same thing? The rest of his statement is simply a justification for this explicitly stated position!

How does this context somehow exonerate him? It reads like absolute paranoia to me.

My take: "winning the lottery" in a Facebook sense requires a floor of talent and work at the early stages , but the odds of winning don't correlate with how much talent and work exists, nor are continued talent and wo

If there's one thing that might help save firefox, it would be OpenAI ruining Chrome by adding a bunch of AI slop into it.

Can you read that much into it? It seems equally possible that they're beginning to wind things down and they're just releasing what they've got to the public now.

Somewhat tangential, what is the purpose of the lengthy prompt used in this post? Would not "location of this image" have worked just as well?

I use Gemini almost exclusively as a normal user. What am I missing out on that they are far behind on? It seems shockingly good and I've watched it get much better up to 2.5 Pro.

I mean it's trite but obviously a democracy can fail in this way (see Weimar Germany). If you can make enough people feel aggrieved and give them an "other" to hate, you're off to the races. This US slip into authoritari

Absolutely insane. The world's richest man is also the most powerful bureaucrat in the world, and he's self dealing to his own company which is arguably the most powerful propaganda machine ever invented. It's difficult to no

This is a hilarious assertion. Their stated objectives have been all over the map, so any outcome can fit at least some of their statements. Admin proxies have said tariffs are to pay for tax cuts, they've stated they're intende

Say what you will about Clinton, but slashing the military budget is what made the math actually work, and lead to a budget surplus. The austerity and efficiency stuff was peanuts in comparison. Clinton's cuts were ultimately only te

It amazes me the contortions some people go through to maintain the belief that this administration is competent. Occam's razor suggests that they just have no idea what they're doing.

A truism, but: There are a lot of Trump supporters on HN. More data points that highlight how incompetent or corrupt this administration is might eventually sway them. Midterm and special elections are real points where negative stimuli c
