This is only true if a llm session would produce a deterministic output which is not the case. This whole “LLMs are the new compiler” argument doesn’t hold water.

I think people simply don't like to read or write. --help is probably as discoverable as it gets.

XML is back, everyone is rediscovering the terminal. Soon we’ll discover that object oriented programming is good again.

Mitchell, What has it been like witnessing terminal emulators make such a huge comeback with the advent of Claude Code et. all? I remember comments here in the early days of Ghostty along the lines of "Why is he working on a terminal e

“Wooden” is much richer and unique than “a bit unnatural” so yes the ai version does sound more like a robot.

The public facing internet is done. HN has been fairly resilient (I think) but even it is beginning to buckle. It’s been sliding for a while but LLMs are the death knell. It was a fun 2 decades. Time to stick to private discords and real li

All this says is that all uses must remain lawful. So what? As if this admin has been a shining example of lawful behavior. This is weak.

The reason this is on the front page now is because of Altmans recent deal with the department of war, not because of these general grievances.

I'm sure it's a matter of interpretation. Anthropic thinks the DoW's demands will lead to mass surveillance and auto-kill bots. The DoW probably disagrees with that interpretation, and all OpenAI needs to do is agree with the

Cancelling seems like a pretty reasonable thing for a human to do.

Who said anything about local communities here? This would be a nation-wide law.

Is it a rug pull? Where in the terms of service does anthropic say their models can be used for autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance?

People will continue to retreat into walled, trusted networks where they can have more confidence in the content they see. I can’t even be sure I’m responding to a real person right now.

This is really hard to judge because by the looks of it, finance papers mostly consist of gobbledygook and extensive filler to begin with.

The amount of wishful thinking, copium, and straight up bad math you managed to shove into a single paragraph is astonishing.

Nice! HTDaemon.good, HTDaemon.old.c, some classic version control practices going on here.

On a meta note, this comment section is absolutely littered with flagged and dead comments from fresh accounts. There are certain topics that really bring out the emotions.

Maybe not North America and Europe, but with proof of income most countries most definitely will tell you sure, come on in!

Has anyone been able to recover the original source code? The README here: https://info.cern.ch/hypertext/README.html mentions a src/ directory under the same location but it 404's to me. Would love to see th

Meanwhile the areas where the coal jobs used to exist (or still do) just had their food stamps removed or reduced. It's such a charade.

And in all cases, those industries make no earnest attempt to develop safe ways to do things instead of simply doing it where it doesn't matter.

Well that's the whole problem isn't it? It's not like the laws are simply "you can't make semiconductors here". The laws ban the harmful externalities of the process. The companies that want to make semiconduct

Everywhere in California that isn't a giant population center is growing food for the rest of the country, or is a mountain where these things can't be built anyway.

All we have is the weather? California is the largest agricultural producer of any state, and it's not even close. Plants like growing here for the same reason people do.

Texans seem more than happy to host these industries. Let them, they have no public land left to protect anyway. The environment is arguably California’s most valuable asset. May as well preserve it so people continue to want to actually l

There is something in the toolbar that looks like an avatar in the screenshots on the page. Do you need to log in to notepad now? What in the actual hell is going on?

There is a transpacific cable landing in my town. Large unmarked building, seems lightly staffed judging by the parking lot. It’s Verizon.

Absolutely not. Nouveau might give you a usable desktop but the second you need to do any 3d rendering or decoding it’s atrocious.

He also mentioned it took 2 months. I’m actually wondering how long it would take to do the Linux to BSD port by eyeball, or at least ai assisted. Probably not that much longer? I guess it depends on wall time vs real time.
