When so called luminaries are calling 60 hour work weeks a good baseline, you're not pro-family.

The idea that the uk is a remotely dangerous country is probably why it's now seeing more and more nanny state laws. It's also probably part of why Brexit happened.

Literally every business school and consulting firm wrote articles about how many jobs this stuff was going to displace and how much it would grow the gdp by.

My fundamental worry with this technology is that you all are going to seriously fuck up the development experience for those of us who feel the technology at the core of this stuff is not sufficient. Development efforts will focus on this

I find it really difficult to take this stuff seriously when the proponents of these tools are constantly flitting from tool to tool. There's tools and paradigms I've used for years at a time. Some things like vim have been used f

If you can find Buffalo Trace for msrp which is $20-30, it's a good deal. I think the bourbon "market" kind of popped recently so finding things has been getting a little easier.

I'm being hyperbolic but yeah four roses is probably the best deal next to Buffalo trace. All their stuff is fairly priced. If you want something like Weller though, you should get another wheated bourbon like Maker's Mark French

Every bourbon tastes the same unless it's Weller, King's County Peated, or Pappy (or Jim Beam for the wrong reasons lol)

This kind of opportunity cost thinking can lead to things like overwork or ignoring your family. It makes sense up to a certain point but viewing your whole life through an overly simplistic heuristic can be a negative thing.

Regarding your first point, I feel it's important to understand Liskov's substitution principle, which is basically, the code might look the same now, but it could diverge in the future if the contextual semantics around that code

The industry is practically allergic to the strict certification processes that are present in other fields like engineering. Don't expect this to change anytime soon. I think these companies prefer a wider recruiting pool to standardi

The point is that it costs more than $1200, you're just not the one paying all the costs. It seems like there are a ton of people on HN who are absolutely pumped to be totally dependent on a tool that must rugpull them eventually to co

There's a brand new thin wrapper for this bullshit every month. First we had Langchain, then MCP servers, and now this. The industry has been constantly trying to wrap the stochastic bullshit generator with frameworks and guardrails, f

Based on my 5 seconds of Googling, games made about $190b in revenue, 55% from mobile. Movies made $32b, so even ignoring mobile, games are about double what movies do. Games also have massive projects like Call of Duty that now cost $700 m

The video game industry takes in more money than movies. It's absolutely huge.

Crypto uses more power than Generative AI with fewer users. A much easier solution is to use the law to classify the payment processors as common carriers.

There's no evidence in actual psychological literature that porn is harmful to people beyond making some religious folks feel a little more shame than normal. Porn addiction isn't an actual psychological condition. I question the

One of the most concerning parts of this is that these are global companies. Regardless of local laws, these companies still wield enormous power. This is also a sovereignty and self determination issue.

Imo there's been a big disconnect between people who view code as work product vs those who view it as a liability/maintenance burden. AI is going to cause an explosion in the production of code, I'm not sure it's going
