I see this sentiment a lot on here, always with a vague intimation that it's a widespread thing. But it is just so far out of sync with the way I use search I just can't wrap my head around it. You say 90% of you usage, but then d

I know this is not the point, but... Michael Stonebraker is an adjunct? I mean I guess at this stage in his life what does he need the money for, but you'd think they'd give him like a "visiting professor" title or s

Agree that this statement is way off, but the rest of the article is hardly "nonsensical." Did you stop reading here?

I'm honestly kind of dumbfounded by the level of hyperbolic reaction to what is... basically just a gaffe? AI models have all been doing this sort of thing from the start, because they don't want to get the pants sued off them. Th

Am I crazy, or is everyone taking all the wrong lessons from this whole thing? This doesn't really seem like an AI problem, or even a Google problem. Gemini did exactly what Google told it to do, and Google did exactly what prevailing

? If anything, working at that scale -- with far more points of interaction, across a colossally higher surface area -- makes the problem of maintaining general quality far harder. The amount of money and headcount available to throw at it

IME just enabling experimental proton support in Steam is enough to run 75-85% of games I'm interested in.

Is there any good reason for anyone to be installing windows anymore other than locked-in enterprise IT setups? Gaming was the big holdout and even that doesn't feel too relevant these days

The culture war take is fairly dumb -- mostly because absolutely nobody is confronting the much more obvious and important point that it's exposing how self-contradictory our expectations around diversity are. But this take is even d

Is there a name for "article doesn't at any point explain the niche jargon term the whole thing is built around?" Don't make me Google "S.M.A.R.T. attributes" just to understand what the subject of your post is

Eh.... this kinda just feels like a very surface level description of things that happen in online conversation, and doesn't really explain or analyze anything. Just some extra terminology for people to throw into arguments like it mea

I'm already starting to feel a big "who cares?" When it comes to the federal government in general. Everything's so calcified it feels like they're barely keeping the lights on. How many debt ceiling "crises&qu

Why would you make AI-generated comments on HN -- to what end?
111.
by gipp 3y ago
?? In your links, I see either a) people responding because some commenter is being weirdly aggressive about an issue that is not controversial and that nobody is on the other side of (like me, responding to you, right now), or b) people pr

I get the vibe that this is a gripe the author has with one specific person they work with, but really want to frame it as a broad general pattern

I mean that's just pseudocode to illustrate my point. You'd certainly want a more structured way to express specified vs actual value, not just similarly named fields This is also not a new idea, though I can't recall if ther

I actually did do this on my personal machine. Works pretty well tbh. Of course you have to worry about accidentally starting some install (or, just evaluation and fetching I guess) process every time you have a typo in your command, but th

I mean... yeah? I don't understand why your comment is phrased like you're speaking some truth nobody wants to admit. Python traded off speed for flexibility etc. This is neither news nor some kind of mortal sin

So, maybe someone here can explain this to me. I anyways hear about how the entire semiconductor industry is completely dependent on TSMC, and nothing can operate without them, thus their geopolitical importance. But then what are Intel, Ar

I'm having trouble connecting the opening paragraphs to the examples much at all. A lot of this seems like splitting semantic hairs -- can't we just generalize our applications "State" to include the "Intent"?

You pretty much just summarized the article.

Yes, I am, but I'm claiming a lack of firm knowledge, not that I have "more proof" of one particular explanation.

I don't have a particularly strong stance on RTO, but I can't help but call it how much less rigorous HN is when talking about this issue than, say, anything that doesn't affect them. The putative ways in which poorly organiz
