You know, I think I’ve had enough of “have taken up farming”/woodworking Silicon Valley nostalgics at this point (I’m talking about them/in general, not you). Modern computing is toxic. The Internet is shit. And all because it was

“Editing” commits is not niche, and editing metadata like dates seems to come up a few times for a fair few number of people. You can already expose the commit object as the headers (metadata) and the commit message. That’s like a spreadshe

Dunno what you are asking me for. That’s what the hypothetical person that you are confronting about their personal halo is doing.

Yeah England is a country. Like what else do we have the name “England” for? We talk a lot more about England than some non-country geography like Anatolia (Asian Turkey). For example there was no UK in the World Cup, but England made it qu

There’s nothing like those irrelevant TV gotcha segments. Wow, we were able to find five ignorant people (out of [?]), what a joke of a cause. You don’t want this proposed nuclear power plant because you are afraid of a nuclear meltdown? We

The subject of Internet anonymity and children really presents a pest or cholera situation. No, I don’t want to scan my face or my passport to use the Web. And also no, this glib, thought-terminating, “common sense” quip about “the parents

HN’s favorite CS professor homepage webpage-style author is on top of the AIs but sticking with keeping out newfangled CSS. Nothing could tell us more about clanker inevitability.

Asking the AI to believe in itself is the absurd part. I don’t understand why people think describing something in some ostensibly dismissive way constitutes making a point. But some people spend their time banging keys with letters on them

Call it blame, call it something else, but they are in the end changing the product while hiding it. I get these emails sometimes, probably because of regulations: - We are changing the price from X to Y. [tirade about rising prices] Maybe

AI is on the whole bad but it’s impossible to forget that the ostensibly human-curated Web as presented by modern search engines is bad too. Invasive ads, popups, and worst of all the substantive content has a nine inch frame of SEO filler

The problem with political organizing in order to solve ecological or environmental problems is that it makes too much logical sense. For solving the problem, that is. It’s better to not build a data center in the first place than to build

Any retort to do this like “but why would they just openly release this”[1] pretty much answers itself. Public relations. If a company can spend money to redeem itself then, well, it can (game theoretically or whatever) do whatever it wants

Reads like capitalist romanticization to me. The point about concentric circles (of care) is true e.g. for workers. If you have ownership. Not corporate-speak ownership like you feel like you are invested in outcomes but real, legal owner

AI critics and honest AI executives of 2023 might say that AI companies are automating labor so that Capital can capture all productive value. But we have to give them some credit. They are hiring real humans. And not even hounding them abo
