I was top-roping in a gym once, about 40 ft up, my belayer said “one sec” so I stopped and looked down, they had __unhooked__ their belay device, fucked with it for a bit, and reconnected it. I downclimbed, not the route just whatever holds

A website partially dropped their paywall, and they attribute blame. The hell do I care? Now I can read parts of their website without archive hacks.

Out of curiosity, is it common to pay to use “AI” in 2025? I have no desire to pay for any of these “products” even a little bit.

Someone once put together an llm backed list of things people on hn post about a lot, mine was about this “other” dvcs system. It is superior, and it’s not even much of a comparison.

I sure don’t. You nailed it.

I’m not sure what the best path forward is for making single-binary apps without static-compiling in of the libraries. Licensing usually makes that untenable.

Smart people who grew up poor making their own way, isn’t that the idea? Or do we just assume they’re all rich, privileged folks?

Somehow gambling is directly correlated to using S3? That’s the best I got.

I was referring to this part: > A relatively small number of wealthy people who matter to the economy, and a huge number scraping by day to day whose economic activity amounts to a rounding error in the grand scheme of things.

I heard a story the other day where kids tried to steal either a Bentley or a Porsche, and could not figure out how to get it into drive. Is that a feature or a bug?

What are you on about? I can ask an llm (which amusingly autocorrects to “lol”) or a search engine, stocks that retained and grew their value over decades. There’s lots. Would you rather a centrally planned government where companies no lon

Training a language model on non-verified publications seems… unproductive.

I don’t even let my kids watch YouTube. Imagine what an llm could hallucinate to impressionable minds. Edit (addition): How the fuck did we decide that a large language model somehow became artificial intelligence? It’s like claiming a dict
