What if this paper actually took things seriously? A serious paper would start by acknowledging that every previous general-purpose technology required human oversight precisely because it couldn't perceive context, make decisions, or

This article was deeply disappointing. Anything about the people, the science fiction that struggled with these ideas? Mention of Player Piano? Anything about Robert McNamara? About this stuff actually being tried? About the actual failures

I've been reading this same exact comment since 2012, and it has not described any city I've lived in since the bad old Tallahassee days. Come to Denver. We have suburbs that are walkable. Or rather don't, we don't need

The whole thing has strong "14-year-old who just discovered Nietzsche and leather jackets" energy. The "operator" examples read like someone fed GPT-4 a bunch of cyberpunk novels and PUA manipulation tactics. This is not

We started with "AI crawlers are too aggressive" and you've escalated to volumetric DDoS. These aren't the same problem. OpenAI hitting your API too hard is solved by caching, not by Cloudflare deciding who gets an &quot

You make unauthenticated requests cheap enough that you don't care about volume. Reserve rate limiting for authenticated users where you have real identity. The open web survives by being genuinely free to serve, not by trying to guess

The web doesn't need attestation. It doesn't need signed agents. It doesn't need Cloudflare deciding who's a "real" user agent. It needs people to remember that "public" means PUBLIC and implement bas

You're off by about three orders of magnitude. A human consuming 2000 kcal/day (conservative estimate) uses about 2.32 kWh per day. Over 75 years, that's roughly 64,000 kWh.

Which is why I wrote a code extractor MCP which uses Tree-sitter -- surely something that directly connects MCP with LSP would be better but the one bridge layer I found for that seemed unmaintained. I don't love my implementation whic

I was watching Star Wars recently and a little voice in the back of my head kept freaking out about the lack of biosecurity -- "sure let's just tromp directly from this planet to another one without even changing our shoes!"

As I said a couple weeks ago, they're gonna have to cash out at some point. The move won't be around Uv -- it'll be a protected private PyPi or something. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44712558 Now wha

Precisely this. This article might seem reasonable to anybody who has never tried to organize something as simple as a local music collection.

Wooo I used to think this was how managers work and just ... Was inevitable. I'm so glad to actually be a manager now, because no, it's not. You don't call people who spill coffee, (have you never spilled anything?) crybabies

Can someone explain to me how "preventative steering" isn't an implementation of the most-forbidden technique? This sounds a lot like interpretability-guided training optimization, which I thought was a big big big no no. It

That's not really how I see this going. Probably the play will be along some "protected private PyPi" or vetted packages or something. It won't just be the uv binary.
