I think this guy has not worked with enough people who aren't that good at programming. GenAI lets me spit out reams of what to me is boilerplate, but to someone more junior might legitimately take weeks. It's a tool that right no

This is precisely the madness that I'm astounded by. Most people think this is sane, normal and moral. And, I imagine most people reading this think I'm either insane, ignorant or uneducated, or will attach some other adjectives t

It's amazing to me that people think they need other people to resolve disputes, or that "law" is some kind of magic... And yet people keep thinking so, both selling it as magic, and buying it as magic, and not once taking th

Is it just me, or are the videos that look like they're shot through the glasses extremely jerky and at a low frame rate? For me, buttery smooth animation and synchronization of the physical and projected world are table stakes.

So you agree with me, that it's worth optimizing for objective metrics, and then work on subjective metrics afterwards?

by manofmanysmiles 2y ago
Happiness being subjective is exactly why it is an important metric. We are conscious beings with subjective experiences. I don't care how many studies say that I'm objectively happy I read, if I'm not happy, the metrics are

I think it's important to optimize life for metrics, but I think it's even more important to remember that we (conscious beings) are the ones living, so if we hate it, the metrics are either wrong or not relevant. Imagine living s

This thread seems beaten to death, yet I feel strongly that I'd like to express this: Groups of people that work together share a common purpose, that is aligned with the individual purposes of all the people that make up the group. A

What is he accused of? I can't find any sources that say any more than that, he was arrested, and that the warrant was issued by a team investigating larger issues.

It was a genuine question. Any implications are either below my conscious awareness and unintentional, or creations of your own. Since you didn't answer, I'll make a guess: you are expressing what is true, using written language a

I really appreciate hearing the story that weaves all these computing choices together! Somehow that human element contains more actionable information than a dense data sheet, and I now I know I'll give Gnome and some of the apps ment

Let's say for a minute that what you're saying is true, that is, there are people in power that are aware of the etymology of words, and name things with symbolic insight, what are you hoping to accomplish by sharing this here?

I'd love to see what would happen if the board said "Okay fine, we won't sell anything to anyone in Europe." I know, unrealistic, but a fun thought experiment. Walk away from $21B profit on $86B revenue. https:/&#x

Unless I'm missing something, Secure Boot as designed is fundamentally broken. Its root of trust is the BIOS/Firmware, which can be updated from a running OS. There is no hardware root of trust. How Secure Boot Works Secure Boot e

Address the problem that people have a proclivity to do "bad". Call it mental health, resolving trauma, spiritual practice. When people are no longer wounded and "broken" internally, they will go out and sculpt the outer

I didn’t check the referenced document, but wouldn’t be easier to ask the authors what they intended? Ultimately the words are a representation of meaning in someone’s mind.

Thank you for pointing out Pharo! My mind is blown, and I can’t sleep!

In the last 15 minutes I’ve read a few blog posts and reddit threads and am saddened. It does seem there are many false or misleading claims, though there does appear to be steady progress, or at least the appearance of it. I hope the langu

I am thrilled to see so much progress on V! I remember being excited about this language and seeing an immense amount of hatred, skepticism and doubt, and unfortunately being taken in by it. Is this hatred still present? Has anyone used the

Although I strongly believe all information should be shared without censorship, it should be clarified what is happening here. The people of the court are not ordering him to do something against his will. They are clarifying that the peop

I can see a future where “AI” Image generation is so good it provides perfect plausible deniability. There will be images of every type of every person that proving one is real becomes impossible. For content creators, it may become irrelev

Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I an pretty disheartened with the "state of the world", or perhaps people's attitude towards it, and didn't even look at HN for a while. I totally agree that my attitude may be off putt

This may have already been said, but many of the authors/gurus/teachers from the “Vedic” tradition emphatically state how true spiritual work should and even must be done scientifically. The science as described involves primarily

The “harm” is caused when people realize it is not moral for people to use violence against each other in the name of authority, and as a consequence cease to follow the commands of authority figures. No real harm is caused when this illusi

How do you define a conspiracy theory? If you break about the words, it simply means a theory about a group of people working together towards a common goal. People who do engage with some wilder ideas do in fact take some actions that are

You don’t sound like you’re asking in good faith, if you are, let me know and I’ll answer.
