xAI literally says in their own lawsuit, "Defendant breached the xAI Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy by leveraging Grok to generate non-consensual sexually explicit images and CSAM". "CSAM" is literally right

Might want to double-check that one, chief. xAI itself disagrees with you. They admitted in court that Grok was used to generate CSAM: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/07/15/business/xai-sues-user-al...

I hear you, but Zig is also 10 years old now. While the authors may not want to signal they're ready, people make assumptions based on age regardless. Either users think (a) it's actually ready after a decade, since many langs&#x2

That is absolutely false. Israel offering citizenship *does not* mean diaspora Jews are their citizens. This regurgitates two lies: 1. The old antisemitic trope that Jews have dual loyalties, and are therefore, untrustworthy and not full ci

This is a fictionalized vision of how ideas spread. The key piece you're missing is there's an asymmetry in generation of truths vs lies. They're not on equal footing. Arguing for that disproportionately benefits lies and ens

This is true, but thunks carry overhead that macros don't in this case.

Ehh, no. In fact, other Lisps are actually slightly better at hot reloading because they're not hampered by the JVM's limits. Check out stuff like CHANGE-CLASS or whole image loading.

I have you tagged as someone who claimed January 6th was overblown. Maybe you shouldn't be lecturing anyone else about what qualifies as a crime.

Pretty sure it works out well more often than not. In a Bayesian sense, expertise signifiers are more useful for updating priors than a lack thereof. Most people invoking "appeal to authority" are not uncredentialed autodidacts

I know Space Coast techies who knew SpaceX people. They were talking about how they had to prevent Musk from making dumb changes whenever he showed up, and this was a decade ago.

Free speech is important, but the truth is pretty important, too. I'm fine with calling liars out. The blizzard of BS we live in should have thoroughly disproved the idea of the "truth will win in the marketplace of ideas" an

You forget about Mecha-Hitler and Musk having the system prompts changed for him? Grok is dead-last on impartiality.

I sort of lament the use of lines under headings, as they look visually better for human readers of Markdown, but they're worse in other ways: ambiguous heading levels (quick, which is h2, `===` or `---`?), and less token-efficient. Fo

Setting aside that very little about economics rises to the level of "facts of nature" like physics... What makes you so certain that economies of scale won't work the opposite way you imagine? E.g., if model improvement ta

As someone who just upgraded a month ago from the last Intel MBP to a new base M5 MBP, I think your laptop might have a problem. I'm definitely not experiencing any of what you describe when doing normal tasks.

It's funny (and a little depressing), because HN routinely assumes that their world view, and thus, their domain expertise, transfers. There's no shortage of tech people convinced they deeply understand law, medicine, philosophy,

Uyghurs, Tibet, and Taiwan, for starters. Taiwan in particular could become a conflict if push came to shove. Hard to say. (No nation will go to bat for the Uyghurs or Tibet, though.)

If you have power and are willing to use it, you don't need legal authority, it turns out. Trump does many things he lacks the legal authority to do.

I think it makes sense, if one sees that LLMs exposed various pre-existing splits in the developer world. Those who viewed code as a means to build something else, are happy to switch to LLMs if they can build that something faster/che

Uhhh, irony and facts are not mutually exclusive categories. And advocating for the dissolution and replacement of the UN due to it being ineffective is deeply ironic, because that's exactly what happened with the League of Nations, w

This is ironic, because the UN itself was already a rebuilt version of the League of Nations.

Unfortunately, I saw some research paper suggesting that TOON doesn't help overall. It's shorter than JSON, but novel/different enough that agents wasted more tokens thinking about it, interpreting it, and making extra calls.

> Agree or disagree, you always knew where he stood! This is always such a weird phrasing to me. We collectively praise politicians for this (and admittedly, many of them will just say anything to get elected), but the phrase discourages

Heh, Signal Detection Theory strikes again! This problem is as old as detecting whether a radar blip is a WW2 bomber on its way or not. Sadly, there's no perfect threshold when the signal and noise distributions overlap substantially,
