You know, anecdotally... When I first picked up an agentic coding assistant I was very interested in the process and paid way more attention to it than necessary. Quickly, I caught myself treating it like a long compilation and getting up t

In highschool, age 14, I was taking a turbo pascal class. The teacher had assigned us to pick a project to work on for 2 weeks. I had picked replicating some basic dos application. I legitimately just wanted to know how it worked and get do

I agree with their sentiment even if it wasn't phrased particularly well. While "outgroup" can technically just mean anyone the speaker doesn't identify with, applying it to the party in power creates a false equivalence

China is a Communist country (in the Leninist sense), it's just that Shenzhen is a special economic zone. This allows them to keep their ideology while operating within the global market economy. It's also why Democracy and unbrid

The alternative is recognizing that China offers a level of long term stability that the US is failing to match. That stability is worth a premium. You may not believe it's a high one, but our trade partners facing random tariff change

It’s unclear if this comment missed the fact that the previous user was using mimicry as a rhetorical device to critique the original poster, or if it was an attempt at 'yes and'-ing by doubling down on the brevity. In either case

Humans who aren't skilled require training regardless of how "unskilled" the task is. Humans that are chronically unskilled also don't learn well, somewhat as a rule. Humans that don't make much money have a high tu

>They haven't said it explicitly. This seems to be a major strategic decision of Alphabet pretty much across the board. I have only recently noticed the stark contrast to the constant hype trope you see in their competitors.

Don't kid you'reself, people LOVE grammatical and spelling errors. It's low entry, and by far the easiest way to get someone to interact with what you have written. AI deprives them of this. Why even read something with no mi

Google search? They already have an AI assistant at the top of every search result. Google is winning the AI race. They did with self driving and they are doing it with LLMs. They are sitting back quietly not making noise and then massively

To be fair, robot soldiers are the only robotics and ai problems that need to be solved to pretty much eliminate labor problems across the board. I suspect China is going to beat him to the punch on this one too.

Yes, it's authoritarianism 101. I tell you to do things and you do them, it doesn't mean I have to. I'd tell you where the largest breeding ground for this sentiment is, but hacker news isn't going to like it.

Step 1, people hand Tether real money at 0% interest. Step 2, Tether invests in interest bearing assets. Step 3, Repeat step 2 with profits from step 2. The choice of gold is just diversification. Kind of odd timing though.
