Banks for what? Uber can be done totally headless, without a screen? Food? Get outta here.

I welcome the era of secrecy. After living so much in this era of open information where everyone seems to know everything, secrets may be a way to make things more interesting again.

Exactly. In fact, hiring may be conducted almost entirely based on what kind of tools and skills you build that no one else really has access to.

There are tools for finding connections. You really do not even need to open files unless you are going to edit them.

The vast majority of work people do is basically supporting simple CRUD type apps. CRUD apps have long been a solved problem long before AI, no one should be spending a lot of time dedicating their life to figuring out how to write a better

“Not a lot of games” will soon be a thing of the past once people find out they can just vibe code all kinds of VR games and experiences.

AI can easily manufacture and distribute a bunch of prions through water supply. After that it’s pretty much game over you will not survive even one prion. In fact I’d say prions are probably the great filter.

Recursive self-improvement will ultimately be a problem of money. It's a very big bill and AI companies need to start thinking in terms of how they will accumulate cheap and free energy, because merely paying for compute will no longer

It’s strange because on one hand, people don’t want to live near data centers, but on the other: the rampant use of AI signals people really *do* want data centers. The proposal to put data centers in space doesn’t seem too far fetched.

A cool project would be to go online finding syllabus and assignments from random CS classes that were posted online and have an LLM do them and post them to GitHub repos.

I say embrace the eras, hackernews has always be fixated on some shiny topic for a while before jumping to the next. Someday you will look back and see this as the good old days.

At some point, LLMs will be a far better source of truth, and then this distaste of people “outside their domains” is really just going to be a sort of snobbery from people who have had experience in a domain for a long time, (but they stil

One of my dreams if I ever had so much money is to build some kind of non-profit third place for my community that was basically set up to be a big LAN party where people could come multiplayer games together and some kind of DJ type person

No. If you could do it, with no remarkable skillset, that means people who are actually competent will be doing it orders of magnitude way better than you and you will be too far behind to really do anything significant except waste your ti

If it doesn’t make sense for people to say “vegan except for chicken”, “vegan except for beef”, then why on earth would it make sense to say “vegan except fish”? Fish aren’t lesser beings, they are living creatures like anything else. Just

Killing and eating animals is not a perspective vegans will be open to. You can reduce harm, but you cannot call yourself vegan until you actually eliminate the possibility of eating animals or their products from your life. There is no rea

That is absolutely wrong. There is no gray area when it comes to veganism. Just because there is no word for that diet, does not mean you can just twist the definition of vegan for your convenience. You could easily just say your a pescatar

So basically, humanoid robots are just good for prototyping before the big boy robots show up to do the real work. Exactly what humans already do cheap and easy. No reason for humanoid robots.

This view is a little idealistic. Software Engineers have historically not been very liable even for errors they create by their own hands, and companies tend to operate on a “blameless” engineering culture where there is not really a forma
