Not only was his response incredibly rude, but it was also close minded, short sighted, and frankly quite dumb. Still amusing to watch, though.

But we also have laws for the first part. It’s just breach of contract.

Excuse my french, but from my personal experience and small sample size, people who push these sort of things in orgs are usually wankers who don’t actually get things done.

I genuinely love how Marc Andreessen is a capitalist and isn't apologetic about it. It's honestly refreshing, coming from a tech billionaire in '23 SV. And I agree with every word. There's a follow-up, by the way: https

To each their own. There are obviously very smart people choosing Lisp so I’m not trying to knock it down or anything, I just never got the appeal Every now and then I try to check out a Lisp project and this is my reaction the moment I see

What makes people see Lisp-like languages and think to themselves "yep, this is how I want my code to look like" is beyond me

Whenever this “SSR vs SPA” question comes up, I feel like it’s the wrong question to ask, because neither is ideal. Server rendered or static sites make sense in some specific use cases (e.g docs, blogs), but even for those classic use case

Why would progress be faster in Python? As for JS in general, I agree, but there's a (very small) subset of TS that actually makes a very nice (and complete) language, IMO.

I’m gonna get shit for saying this, but I think ML would have been more widely adopted with JS/TS as the frontend.

How dare they charge money for something that costs money, surely regulation can make everything free!

I can’t help but think many of these conversations are made up.

I think we’re about to see social engineering attacks at a scale we’ve never seen before…

Up until ChatGPT became all the rage, Sam has been pushing a crypto scam called Worldcoin, which aims to scan everyone’s eyeballs(??) and somehow pay everyone in the world a living wage(???) without creating any value. This while allegedly

I mean sponsored by a foreign nation (not as a false flag). Of course this is just my gut feeling, nothing else.

As much as I want to see the Islamic Republic collapse, and as much as I do believe it will collapse in the next few years, to me this hack[1] seems state-sponsored. It looks like professionals trying to look like amateurs. Not a bad thing,

My comment was very clearly asking why dozens of different web scrapers are needed.
737.
by brap 4y ago
I wasn't going to, still I think it's a fair question.

Just how many web scraping tools do we need? It seems like every month there's a new web scraper on HN, is that really such a common task that we need dozens of tools?

It should close and mark your question as a duplicate of something unrelated.

I’m curious to hear why Google isn’t going to win in this AI arms race. The way I see it, Google: * is effectively the gateway to the internet, owning the most popular website in the world, mobile OS, and browser * has infinite LIVE data,

This! Chat was such a joy, I don’t think it can work in any other medium (like Netflix). I honestly found myself watching the chat more than the stream. My favorite moments were when the AI seemed somewhat sentient, and the whole chat blew

You can also interpret it as “…but it’s not a joke, it’s reality“, which is definitely offensive.

God I WISH I was there to see the chat’s live reaction to this… the chat is the best part of this “show”.

by brap 4y ago
Sure. But will that be the case 5-10 years from now? As a programmer, I gotta say if you're not at all concerned, then either you haven't been paying attention or you're in denial. Sooner or later it's coming.

If you can't describe to your target audience what you're building in 1-2 short sentences, then you're most likely not building anything valuable.

Valid point, but I don’t expect AI to be able to really pull off a believable stream of scenes in the foreseeable future. I think for at least the next few years it will still be off enough to be hilarious. The uncanny valley can actually

This is hilarious, especially as a hardcore Seinfeld fan, but the thing that really cracks me up is the live reactions in the Twitch chat. I just wish they use AI to also get the voices right. Then maybe one day stable diffusion can be go

I keep ending up in rabbit holes of ever-increasing cleavages. Must be a bug.
