Or perhaps you are the one who is “coping”? Ask yourself honestly, is this genie ever going back in the bottle? If not, you’re gonna have to find a way to come to terms with it my dude.

There’s a need for something to understand those things, but from a user perspective it doesn’t matter if that’s a human or an LLM. Besides, loads of software that’s human written has people maintaining it that don’t understand what it’s do

Correct! I’d go further and say typing is the easy part of writing a book, and I absolutely agree with that

In an odd way you’re absolutely proving the article’s point. The requirements, deadline, pricing, idea, implementation, customer story, these are the things that matter and are hard. Compared to that, code is easy.

They didn’t. No one getting paid that much was getting paid for their code.

Something can be hard and also be the easy part. Imagine you got to see into the future and use a popular app before it was released, and you decided to make it yourself and reap the profits. Would be an absolute cinch to copy it compared t

Well said. But, I understand what they meant, they meant from an organisation’s perspective. Either way, I’ve seen far too many people in HN who fear AI won’t write perfect code, forgetting half the code we wrote before was probably worse.

Well not every one on the face of this earth as that’s where Kansai airport is located. It happens a lot in America and other places too but not everywhere

What, people like OP doing incredibly creative and whimsical projects like this?
72.
by jama211 8mo ago
Oh come on, what I see here is whimsy and human creativity! Amazing work by OP

Very true! Lots of things had to go right for Terrance.

I don’t say everyone has the same mental ability. But I stand by my point. Those people you mentioned might be dimwitted in part _ because_ their lack of enthusiasm for learning is low, so they didn’t do it. I don’t care how smart you are,
75.
by jama211 8mo ago
Yes, the “with enthusiasm” bit is very important.
76.
by jama211 8mo ago
I simply disagree. Yes, they could. Same with adults. Basically no one does. Also I didn’t say innate ability doesn’t exist. But in my opinion is a small multiplier on top of effort. That’s why I said close to.

by jama211 8mo ago
I actually think you could. If you’d done that, with enthusiasm* - and not just practiced but guided, trained practice, you 100% could.

Not sure it works like that, I think his biggest superpower was intrinsic motivation. Any child who read maths textbooks with enthusiasm for 3-4 hours a day for years could in theory at least get close to doing what he did, but what kid had

Wow, incredible read! Amazing what motivated peple (and children!) can achieve.

This thread is gonna be full of HN users blaming the parents for a systemic problem isn’t it? Yup.

by jama211 8mo ago
So the only options are no support or give you up for adoption? No middle ground is possible?

They could provide all the tools in the world. Unless there’s legislation change to what children are allowed to consume legally, everyone will largely ignore it.

Ah, the abstinence theory of protection. How it continues to rear its ugly head. Why this utter drivel is the top comment is beyond me, unbelievable.

by jama211 8mo ago
This is honestly the best argument for this, use it if you find it fun! Obviously it won’t be mainstream as some seem to think, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be cool.
85.
by jama211 8mo ago
I think they actually learn it because of the fun of mastery and the satisfaction of typing at high speed when you’re good at it, I doubt there’s much practical value.
86.
by jama211 8mo ago
That’s a bit different
87.
by jama211 8mo ago
Yeah I mean that makes perfect sense, just means it’s probably not for me. Best of luck to them though

Thank you!

You mean in the way that it was massively overblown in the media but ultimately wasn’t a big deal?

by jama211 8mo ago
No, they wouldn’t have.
