Shaming people for not leaving comments anyway, I infer. /s I put my email address on these things. All spammers already have it anyway. I get some feedback. Or a normal web form with a captcha will create minimal spam. Certainly suffi

Yeah. Should we just magically infer that he likes getting non-gig contacts on his explicitly gig contact form? The form is under "Get in Touch", and under an offer for a 15 minute call. I don't want that. This reminds me of

You're not kidding. There's neither comment box nor email address. Is he expecting us to cyberstalk him to find if someone has doxxed him, just to give a thumbs up? "Why is nobody calling to invite me to parties", says m

That's not even remotely true.

Most top of mind was this tragedy that Microsoft somehow thinks is "good" and not something to be ashamed of at all: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/the-new-run-dialo...

> like all web apps, it’s slow No, that's a very uninformed take, and contradicted on two fronts: 1. Microsoft's other native apps have gotten unusably slow lately, too. 2. There's definitely plenty of fast web apps. I don

Like I said ... It's hard. But if we make CG inescapable it should as a second order effect close the Buy Borrow Die loophole, and the super rich must fund their life some other way. Probably by selling assets to consume. And putting

Are you expecting someone to drag your contribution to the discourse out of you?

by knorker 4mo ago
I agree with you on it being hard. But we can start by not forgiving CG on death. That seems like a no brainer with no downsides. No downsides I respect, at least. "We want to keep the business in the family" should be ignored.

What do you expect the reaction to be when he's, at best , taking a political cheap shot by misrepresenting what someone said and spinning it into absurdity? It's an ugly ugly post, and that's what set the tone. I hope your

So it's a cheap dig at a politician he doesn't like, by misrepresenting and basically mocking her? Yeah that's not better. I'm not an AOC fan, but wow that makes PG an ugly political hack, not a clever writer. There&#x27

Code is liability. AI just made it harder to ignore.

Alright, so you're not saying it. But PG is literally addressing the billionaire question. He's literally replying to a statement about billionaires specifically. We're not reading too much into it. Like I said, millionaire s

Wow, Paul Graham REALLY missed the point. How ironic. Extremely successful person tries to justify why he's better or smarter than you, and the way he does it proves that he doesn't even understand what the other person has said.

The domain AND the title refers to "GUI". Could we fix the HN title that this is limited to just graphical user interfaces?

Are AI people using LLMs to name things? Just take a widely popular thing that already means something, capitalise it differently, and you're done. Microsoft's LoRA (already a thing called LoRa) and now MiMo (already a thing calle

I'd expect it to require too much RAM bandwidth to be feasible. RAM is really slow at silicon speeds. Very little is reachable in one clock cycle, unless the clock cycle is abysmally slow.

An employer making career-affecting decisions for their employees based on whether they have kids or not sounds like a great way to get sued. That said, I have been asked if I had kids, in an interview. Later in my career, when I was traine

When I read commit history I want to see the reasons. Commit messages are for extra context. It's very useful if it says AI/LLM was used, then I know that there may not actually be a reason for the choice in the commit, so per Che

Ok, so step one is jailing the CEOs. Then what? Any time someone builds a social network, they'll be equally liable for any danger for kids that result? De facto making social networks illegal? Or is a moral/legal social network p

Are you talking about the goal being bad, or the methods being bad, or that the goal inherently cannot be achieved without bad methods? E.g. I think something pretty uncontroversial would be a goal of blocking kids from the likes of TikTok

Ah, I guess by "that" you meant the touch part, not the uncopiable part. There are many ways to implement this. I think some Chromebooks have FIDO gated on a physical button. If you have an unlocked device with keys usable requiri

Yeah but more importantly neither will those multi million dollar routers your ISP uses. Nor their ten thousand thousand dollar switches. And they won't be replacing these just because they're missing FIDO. And they can't &qu

Yes. But that'd just be a TPM on a computer, in hand held form. A laptop and a phone are both general purpose computers with "TPM chips", so "you could implement that on android" is as true as "you could implem

I don't think this is right. Yes, with TPM and yubikey you have the option to store the per key material on disk, encrypted by the TPM. But the way this is then used is that the PKCS software sends that encrypted blob AND the requested
