It was a fair critique, but if you're looking for feedback I think people were probably responding to your last line. "I'm glad you're having fun vibecoding" comes across as very backhanded and condescending. It sou

Many of these quotes are technical or social critiques of Bitcoin, not claims that it is "dead". Here's one for example: https://bitcoindeaths.com/posts/2023-10-26-every-single-bitc... . It is dishonest t

The data comes from this paper, I don't immediately see an answer to this question though: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-025-02513-9 . My guess is that the climate is complicated and the planet doesn'

Ah sorry, didn't realize they had their own policy. This is a little stronger, but you can certainly still use an LLM to search for vulnerabilities, you would just need to write fixes yourself and mention if you used an LLM for assista

They did not disallow LLM contributions, and they definitely didn't disallow using LLMs to research security vulnerabilities. They only disallowed projects that are majority LLM-written. https://codeberg.org/Codeberg&#x

Wow I had no idea Pocket Casts was open source now. I still have a subscription because it's a perfect app I use every day.

When they say "narrowest", they mean that New York is one of the most difficult places to convict a driver. Right above what you quoted: > Our neighbors have different vehicular laws than we do. Both Massachusetts and Connectic

Yes, he would be banned from driving if he ran over a kid. Self-driving models and the companies that create them have not been banned so far, even after they cause accidents.

I don't understand how they can say it's unlikely. It's objectively true that they train on de-identified user data ( https://openai.com/policies/how-your-data-is-used-to-improve... ), and objectively true

Who is this guy? Even if I had enough mathematical background to understand the arguments I'm not sure I could follow this post. Punctuation exists for practical reasons, it's not just an aesthetic choice.

No, they use that wording because they are mocking this tweet from an Anthropic employee: https://xcancel.com/_sholtodouglas/status/209721833169057800... . I don't know why.

It's obviously not designed for mobile but I wouldn't call it unfriendly, it's still fast and pretty easy to read. It also works perfectly with Firefox reader mode.

That probably comes from this article: https://www.mckoolsmith.com/assets/htmldocuments/2024%2011%2... . Could be a copy/paste error, or could be an LLM trying to cite its own work by just looking at a list of

Nobody is buying these things to review them, it's just a guy that works in "AI Strategy" in Palantir that has a lot of money to spend on LLM tokens.

This is a fair response and I think would be a good top level comment, you don't need a meat shield. The reason the parent was downvoted was that it isn't criticism, it's just a declaration that they didn't read the arti

This is kind of dumb but for any common interval length there is probably a YouTube video that's long enough for your workout. For example, 30 seconds and 1 minute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Bb4PfLvJE , https:&
