You're not a web developer, right? See my other comment about context if you want to learn more about the role of context in software development in general. If you keep repeating whatever point you're trying to make about some im

Java writes to a bytecode spec that has failed to keep up with reality, to its detriment. Web development keeps up with an evolving spec pushed forward by compatibility with what users are actually using. This is "culture" only in

HN loves inventing semantics problems around AI. It's gotten really, really annoying and I'm not sure the people doing it are even close to understanding it.

Because one of the functions of government currency is keeping things like prices stable for the sanity of normal people buying food and gas, against the type of upheaval and reactionary change that a global currency is susceptible to. Bitc

It's not even that crypto is bad, it's that it's not good. The user experience is bad universally. I say this as a tech person that didn't care about it as a technology and had to deal with it anyway and I can't sta

Companies care about material damages in practice. I'm not a lawyer but my understanding is that in that case, the artist drawing and selling the work is infringing (to a degree, because this seems to be a case Disney et al doesn'

This keeps coming up, and I am not a lawyer, but as far as I can tell none of that matters. I can pay someone to draw Mickey Mouse for me and hang it up in my house. If I invite people to visit my Mickey Mouse House and charge them for the

In this thread your pedantic definition of vaporware seems to hinge on a compatibility between spec and delivery that has not existed once in the history of frontier engineering, so I'm not sure good faith is in high supply here in any

This is largely how it works for nearly all coprightable work. I can draw Mickey Mouse but legally I'm not doing anything wrong until I try to sell it. It certainly doesn't put Crayola or Adobe at legal risk for me to do so.

It's not the formatting, it's the content. A resume that tells me what I need to know without a bunch of extra fluff vs an essay tells me about the author's priorities and it'll be a deciding factor when you have hundred

Because crypto is a liability itself and nobody normal likes interacting with it.

This makes it obviously a pain in the ass that nobody normal will tolerate; dead on arrival, waste of time

Worse, honestly. There was a strong case to be made that crypto was absent of a real problem to solve. Meanwhile people use GenAI for real work every day and a disturbing cut of HN has their ears plugged, insisting it's a bubble and th

That's nonsense. Code has bugs and you're always writing for a particular target runtime anyway. "Someone might run this on a version of the runtime that implements an incomplete or nonstandard version of the spec" is no

My naive intuition is that any assertion like this is hokey. If we did live in a simulation of some kind, there are no expectations that we can measure the physical rules that govern us accurately - either they behave according to some dete

You'll be down voted appropriately for muddying the difference between the language runtime (on the server side there is one runtime people use and several small competitors) and the framework, which was the issue in this case

What is the subtle distinction? I'm "many" and it's not clear at all here. If we had some massive physics breakthrough, the LLM needs to be tought about it, but so do people. Teaching people about it would involve produ

Amen. If you could spin a turbine with the ire directed towards frontend engineering on this forum alone, we could retire the sun. I think there's a defensive quality to it. It was at one point an overwhelming meme that writing JS was

Totally fine, you're not alone. The kids call it a "typing quirk" as a justification if you're interested in learning more.

Sure, and I'd be the first to admit I'm not aware of the intricate details wrt how LLMs are trained and refined, it's not my area. My original comment here was in disagreement of the relatively simple dismissal of the idea th

I was referring not to individual learning ability but to natural selection and evolutionary pressure, which IMO is easy to describe as a band-aid patch that takes a generation or more to apply.

This sounds sick, I looked for a photo and couldn't find one that seemed to be this specifically, just lots of the flexible ones, do you know if there's a photo ref somewhere?

It's a post about web development on HN. Half the comments will rag incessantly, half will talk about how the web should go back to being a delivery mechanism for documents only like it's 1995 forever, someone will rant about Goog
