Black Mirror of all work should not be called "pessimism porn". It's not unrealistic for the depicted scenarios to happen in real life. You can kill a messenger for delivering a false message, but not a true one, even when it

A perspective from a friend, who recently gave up trying to get into concept art: Before AI, there was out-sourcing. With mass-produced cheap works, foreign studios eliminated most junior positions. Now AI is just taking this trend to its l

Using Agent-2 to monitor Agent-3 sounds unnervingly similar to the plot of Philip K. Dick's Vulcan's Hammer [1]. An old super AI is used to fight a new version, named Vulcan 2 and Vulcan 3 respectively! [1] https://en

My two cents: isn't this arrangement more of a continuation of the Marshall Plan? If the US did nothing, post-war Europe was likely to fall into the influence of the Soviet. Now even the Soviet has dissolved, there's always the me

I had expected to see a more programming language theory flavored formal specification, but it's actually just prose describing the language for industrial conformance purposes. I guess something is better than nothing, but still.

Imagine adding types to a legacy JavaScript codebase. You can turn everything to valid TypeScript by annotating `any` everywhere, then you can gradually add types here and there. Or imagine writing Rust with `Rc` everywhere and then using t

AGI aside, sometimes HN critics/cynicism indeed points out the exact reason why something wouldn't work and is vindicated after the fact, e.g. Apple Vision Pro. I guess it's just hard to predict the future and for me, it&#x27
