Big eye roll from me. "Can't scale due to too many PRs" neglects answering questions like: Are these PRs valuable? Are they just additional PRs to right the wrongs of previous ill-conceived PRs? How much churn is going on her

And then the US government will say that these company's futures are in the national interest, and they will be bailed out with taxpayer dollars.

Do you think bad actors can't make something like this? What are you even talking about?

Avery Trufelman does an incredibly well-researched podcast on clothing of all kinds by the name of Articles of Interest. They did a whole show on the pointe shoe. You can check it out here: https://articlesofinterest.substack.com

1. It was a joke about pointers. 2. Cut out the macho gatekeeping nonsense around what makes a "real" programmer. It's tiresome.

Your response suggests that you're only considering native apps where users can view memory usage. For cloud apps where the costs are largely hidden from users, the user has no way of doing that analysis. I agree with the second part o

They're answering the question posed in the article: No, programmers won't write more efficient code. They're suggesting that instead, consumers will just be forced to pay more for inefficient SaaS products being run on more

I can refer you to some documentation on the topic. ;)

Yeah, that would be a more nuanced take. The comments I'm indirectly referring to are people who are literally unaware of these features and talk confidently as if they do not exist.

After reading a lot of comments in here, there is one thing that always repeats itself in Java/JVM-related comment sections on HN. There are a surprising number of people who have an idea of what the JVM or Java used to be and have v

The biggest negative I'm seeing is that people are moving _too fast_ to evaluate the stuff they're slinging. When you move too fast, you do not take the time to build up your taste or appreciate the nuances of different approaches

My criticism of the comparison would stand in either case. There is nothing clear and uniform about the interface to LLMs that match their musical counterparts. Even modular synthesizers with random sources are far more controlled. I also t

It is not at all like playing an instrument. Instruments present a clear interface to a user, have predictable outputs, etc. The only comparison that might work for me is that LLMs are very bad instruments where you are constantly forced to

It would appear that the author of this posted a big pile of AI slop describing project and was heavily downvoted.

With respect, were you around to use any of its predecessors?

Yeah, uh, why would it go away? In what world do you completely surrender your ability to control the work product, the methods for achieving said work product, etc. That is the dream of a PHB.

The difference is that president Kamacho cared about his people and was ok with being counseled by the smartest guy in the country to turn things around.

I think maybe this is getting hugged to death. I searched for an old favorite of mine: `radix - bright eyes`, and couldn't find it, but maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

Could you say more? I don't really follow, and I've used trackers for a long time. Don't some trackers already have something akin to this in terms of "randomizing" wave forms inside some reasonable parameters? Why

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I almost never run into paren-matching issues. Hooked to a working REPL, Clojure isn't merely "good", I'd say it is dominant compared to a lot of other langs.

I think we're probably talking past one another a little bit. I use LLMs. Daily, even. I've been doing so since around the same time. The vast majority of people in my organization are doing the same. I have watched some projects

So I accept that “nonsense arguments are nonsense”, but with some minor differences of opinion. Naming of things matters insofar as you care as a human to actually conceptualize the system you’re building. You can call all of this stuff min

"as most arguments don't apply to today's world" makes me want to roll my eyes so hard at you. The vast majority of problems we had with building complicated systems are all still just sitting there. People are speedrunn
