It's more statisticians saying this, and not doctors per se. You run into issues of signal detection theory, false positives, and the lay confusion that Bayesian P(A|B) !== P(B|A). You're right that we could take steps to fix it,

Yeah, it's a cool idea, but for proprietary formats, it's much harder for outsiders to do, and the original companies just don't see it as something they should take care of. My gut says there's too many changes that cou

Hoverjets, probably. If you're not sick of hearing about it, jj is git-compatible, and borrows heavily from hg's UI and terminology. It's CLI is concistent, logical, and easier to pick up than git.

You are still missing the point, and talking about everything BUT the disconnect between objectivity and subjectivity. I don't know how many times I have to mention the Hard Problem in the comments before people address it in their res

On an unrelated side note, I wish we would start saying about "$X / megatoken" over "$X / million tokens". No good reason really, it just sounds cooler.

You've completely left out the Hard Problem, though, and missed the essay's point. A large part of the essay is that we have plenty of objective knowledge about how bat sonar works, but we don't know what the subjective e

I guess this depends on whether you're emphasizing deadliness or likelihood. I live in Thailand, and I can assure you that while scooters dominating city streets increases awareness by car drivers, it doesn't make accidents less l

Weird? I live in Thailand, use Firefox, and get half a dozen CF challenges per day. It takes very little for CF to consider you "weird".

If you're focusing on emotionally charged comments, then you're looking at a biased data set, yes? I have you tagged as an admin; have you ever thought of blogging statistical/ML analyses of HN sentiment?

Of course, the flip side is, modern construction isn't done with artisanal woodworking techniques. I'm not even thinking of AI, but Rust. I guess I'm just uninterested in a "modern C".

Think so? I feel like HN has always had a high level of simping.

Unless you're advocating for mass direct democracy, with public votes on everything under the sun, a certain level of delegation is inescapable at scale. You say "career bureaucrats" as if they can't be fired or controll

But in this case, the yt-dlp maintainers didn't actually evaluate the rewrite yet, they just declared they wouldn't support it, sight unseen. Not really an argument on its merits.

Possibly, but you may want to use the GPUs for other things, or have under-utilized CPU-only servers lying around.

IIUC, jj was heavily inspired by hg. In particular, the revsets and the UI.

To be more clear, I didn't mean debugging the generated state machine itself. What I meant was, the use of the go state machine renders certain debugging techniques useless. E.g., stacktraces are less helpful, and js-debugger is pointl

I can't speak for Zach, but in 2019 on The REPL podcast #23 ( https://www.therepl.net/episodes/23/ ), at 00:41:01 and 00:45:31, he talks about being a bit unhappy with how the core team communicated about his a

Heh, I used to maintain manifold/aleph for a few years after Zach left the Clojure community.

True, but there are many reasons to avoid core.async, especially in 2026. It balloons up the Js artifact, has no inherent error model, and transforms into state machine code that's hard to read/debug if something goes wrong. Plus,

Possibly, but the Zig creator is active on Lobste.rs, where he's been vocally anti-LLM for a year now, so the timing could just be a coincidence.

Well, "warp" is a generic word, the projects are unrelated, OS/2 was never that popular, and it was last released 30 years ago. I personally feel like there's no need for acknowledgement at this point, but that's ju

Well, for starters, I get obscure errors if I get something wrong editing the Ghostty config file. I think there's a reason people are very interested in libghostty. It's a fully-featured library to build off of, but Ghostty prope
