I think it's great that we don't have Chinese-style censorship of the internet but disagree that "there really isn't much to talk about (yet)". I think there is good reason to believe that many governments around th

The press release itself says that the formal proceeding concern "the dissemination of illegal content in the context of Hamas' terrorist attacks against Israel" and the person you refer to as "some guy" is a adjunc

Even though we don't know everything about what is happening in this particular instance, I do think there should be a global conversation on the ability for state-level actors to directly or indirectly pull strings in order to coerce

Apparently the dissemination of illegal content refers to the October 7th videos of the Hamas terrorist attack against Israel that galvanized American support for Israel [0]. I personally don't think it's in people's interest

Yes, good shout -- I do this sometimes, too. The only thing is that it doesn't work if what you're releasing is a shared package or installable and is not part of an application.

I have a question for you all: When you're building something and you notice one of your dependencies has a bug or is missing a key feature that you need, do you (a) PR the fix into the dependency and then try to "harrass" th

I'm also a happy Kagi user. There are only two reasons I still visit Google: 1. I'm based in the UK and often it shows me shops based in the US high up within my search results. 2. Sometimes I specifically like to visit

The article is good on the whole but the title "Code is run more than read" seems false in many situations I've been in. A lot of software doesn't have users. Often the target users don't like the product enough and

Hm, my own intuition is that it'll raise the baseline experience but then cause hyper-competition by human creators to exploit its powers to the limits while infusing further human creativity on top of what is mechanistically produced.

Yes, it's very sad to see work you provided for free to a community used to exploit these people.

Well, I'm also English and I didn't read them that way. However, I do think that Paul is telling people that competing with Sam in certain domains would be extraordinarily difficult. The other thing is that if you take a look at P

Really? It seems like a glowing appraisal. He seems to think that Sam is devestatingly effective at what he does.

If Paul Graham fired Sam Altman from YCombinator it's interesting that he appears to have such a favourable opinion of him [0]. However, personally, what I've taken away from this is that he is a much better strategic/tactica

I felt the same way and recently did the whole 92 questions of CodeSignal's Python Arcade section ( https://app.codesignal.com/arcade/python-arcade ). This made me completely fluent on modern Python syntax and the q

Why don't they just allow children to work legitimately through the application, but add some safe-guarding controls and potentially notification to or authorisation by parents? This seems like a much better idea than to have a level o

I don't agree. You should be collecting data, running experiments and A/B tests and finetuning your own models, but you shouldn't be building CRUD apps to automate this yourself, even if you have two decades of experience doi

I think this is exactly the kind of issue that the startup Klu [0] is trying to solve. Not everybody should be building their own custom toolchains for finetuning/prompting AI models and there is really quite a lot of work involved in

It's pretty bad that, more than a decade after this was released, there are detractors for some of the guidelines but yet nobody is able to point to a singular more modern set of principles. A lot of our advice is now nuanced and sprea

It's good for some people but really it just means that if you have already put down roots in a location like San Francisco, New York or London then you'll have to look elsewhere for a job that pays more.

I didn't mean that literally zero users have left Twitter. But, I do not recognise its replacement by other services (Threads, Bluesky or Mastodon). Obviously there are people that have cut social media out of their lives, and there ar

Despite continuously making very unpopular moves, I can't see how Twitter loses its users. In fact, I think it will exist long after usage on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok falters -- because, it is less replaceable and less
