I like Pi, but I didn't end up using it. I tried OpenCode, Pi, Zed Editor and some NVIM packages. I wanted open source, featureful and easy to use. Specifically I wanted to easily edit the agent prompt. I ended up on VS Code. I'm

Your post I responded you had said "I have come to understand it is that everything is indeed political." Now you concede a bit: > Just because most of everything has a political angle/facet does not mean it defines my lif

That's great. You certainly know more the ins-and-outs, and I wish you luck.

AI critique often funnels itself into a narrow bucket: creating code blindly with AI is bad. That's easy to grant. Adversarial testing, checking developer assumptions, refactor suggestions , small dev tools and even some guided coding

In toying with VS Code or other 'agent harnesses' I'm always annoyed to find very long verbose system prompts "You are CoPilot. You are an expert. You can do anything you put your mind to..." and on and on. The toke

I think a lot of this is the inevitable (and good) direction teaching must go. As someone who has self-taught most of my skills both before and after AI, some deep feedback: I don't want a fixed piece of content when learning with AI,

If only the conversation could be rooted with this understanding, rather than it being a leaf.

There's an irony in your comment. On one hand, it's clearly starkly anti-LLM, but on the other hand, you treat humans and LLMs as similar categories, accepting a strong pro-AI framing. You would never say "events are for huma

That's an ambitious conclusion, and not as overly so as some may think. But I believe it is not the reason Rust adopted this policy, I think they just have a more basal and subjective dislike of AI irrespective of whatever truth you ma

Here are the actual policies, not a comment: https://github.com/jyn514/rust-forge/blob/llm-policy/src/pol... It's in-line with the 'nanny' stereotype of the Rust community that they g

Their ostensible troubles are fueled by "exponential usage growth", demonstrated by three graphs which exclude axis labels and are aggressively cropped.

A clear hierarchy may be secured through these constraints. That's the unifier - it'd be hard to achieve these three without it. A one-pager begs of you to find the foundational value simply - no fooling yourself with a multitud

Uncanny Valley means the content directly evokes that creepy feeling, because the 'unrealness' is somehow subjectively apparent. But you say yourself you "have to consciously remind [yourself]" it isn't real. The Un

The cost is $60. https://account.brave.com/?intent=checkout&product=origin I'm just repeating this from another comment deeper-in. @microflash https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47833071#47843941

Why do you nitpick his illustrative example and entirely ignore his substantive one about finance?

Give the AI less responsibility but more work. Immediate inference is a great example: if the AI can finish my lines, my `if` bodies, my struct instantiations, type signatures, etc., it can reduce my second-by-second work significantly

There seems to be wild speculation about freedom of speech rights or hacking Signal. The FBI simply joined groupchats and read them. This is trivial stuff.

Are we really mad at scams here or is this an opportunity for a bit of projection?

Oh right, because people don’t get assaulted in places where free speech doesn’t exist. It’s totally the free speech that is causing the violence and not anything specific to any circumstance of violence or some other general state. /s

Market cap is not a narrative, it’s the only objective measure so far in our dialogue. > recent That’s great you point out the importance of long term trends, I shouldn’t even have to articulate my point now. But why not go deeper anywa

HN is proof itself that Software Engineering isn’t a prerequisite for expertise in the space. It’s like a construction worker talking about architecture. The expertise relevant in blockchain are economics/game-theory and cryptography -

Muh “constraint bad” argument. Constraint on control is the whole point - you don’t even understand the explicit purpose of the thing which you critique.

It’s a failure of culture, not legality. All crypto is open source, if it isn’t then it truly doesn’t deserve the title. Apathy on the part of investors to allow so much privilege to founders in the form of token distribution and outright c

The volatility, in one direction, is a bread and butter argument for the crypto skeptic. Most people investing in crypto know the risks, that’s exactly what draws them in, because it comes with huge potential upsides. No one is better at po

That’s a good point against a common argument. It’s like saying cookies aren’t selling as well as eggs.

You don’t like the use case for crypto, you don’t accept the narratives it’s proponents put forward and you conveniently fail to mention the objective measure of value we can actually use to compare: market capitalization. I’m sure you woul

Web3 being somehow related to VR is a clear sign of the ultimate strawman. NFT’s are a tiny innovation, VR is completely unrelated, Web3 on HN is a derogatory term leaning off the assumption that it’s focus is NFTs and VR video games.

Free speech is about free expression of ideas; nothing more or less specific.
