I've not really enjoyed finding out lately just how few people seem to notice what ought to be unmissable.

You should just read more about this stuff and try using it. The high-level questions you are asking suggest you don't yet have a great base-level understanding of the concepts.

Just like fully extending a ladder brings the moon closer.

I don't disagree with any of the points in the post. They're even framed better than the average "I love using AI because X" post. Unfortunately, you won't become a better writer letting AI do it for you.

The second thing is not an ad hominem, it's talking about what he did or how he did it, not who he is.

Marketing departments everywhere have been letting internal corpspeak just leak out lately. OAI's announcement shutting down Sora was similar: > To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you

Low-effort, low-quality self-promoting slop, of the sort where you assume that significant errors are present, so obviously generated (and unedited!) is the text, but it's hardly worth your time to actually chase them down.

What, you don't like your caveats to be honest?

Freedom of expression is inseparable from the right to privacy. Should journalists be forced to reveal their sources if the subject of a claim sues for defamation?

These are solid conclusions/lessons to take away for people working in creative disciplines. Enforcing constraints on yourself can be rewarding and productive (the 3% rule), and forcing yourself to pay attention to other people's

With AI, I can finally build what I've been dreaming about. What was your dream before AI, exactly? Not to build a VCS for agents, presumably. But the entire value prop here is centered around agents. This is not the first &q

It's a useful term but humorously risks becoming auto-exemplary.

All the benefits you're describing apply to the present moment; people with knowledge, self-discipline and expertise can leverage LLMs to great effect. How many people like this will exist in a decade? Two?

How do you measure the bundle of "skills" that comprises critical thinking? And if that's your analogy's distance running, what's the "riding a bike" analogue?

I'm genuinely trying to cut down on complaining about slop writing, but how are you going to say: Ask yourself where you’re using technology to replace human moments rather than amplify them ...right after you've subjecte

Well, sometimes there's flat-out nonsense that seems to have been written purely to back into the author's thesis: You cannot design an algorithm that eavesdrops on dinner conversation and dispatches someone to buy a street

Unless we're doing away with human accountability, the responsibility to accuracy (and whatever other statutory requirements) will remain the same, it will just be concentrated among significantly fewer federal employees.

In the spirit of the project, I can replace this with a "one-liner": Is there a simpler solution?

Cheers. Absent explanation, I do think it's reasonable to assume that you stood by the wording/claims of the README when you posted it, but I appreciate the patch you made to the docs. FWIW, re: best practices, your install script

I think the tension here is that phrasing like this actually helps keep the model aligned, which is why the training and RL converged on it. But it's so annoying to read!

What a strange subset of capabilities to neuter, eh?

Ask HN: Should the term "cognitive surrender" apply to writers who publish slop?

If your mental model is "run my image instead of docker run," this won't fit. If it's "run untrusted or ephemeral workloads with stronger, auditable isolation on a single host," that's the target.

Did we need five thousand words (easily 1/3 of which didn't deal with the main topic) on techniques that aren't exclusive to Linear in the slightest?

It's generally best to do several things that no one did here.

They are probably reacting to the laughable idea that by making PRs 20% better (or whatever), devs will continue to review the code with sufficient rigor to catch even the bugs they're supposedly now preventing. Assuming such rigor was
