No. Divorce ruins the lives of the kids. Look at the statistics. The outcome and financial damage and emotional damage is horrid. The problem is more that it’s normalized. I think the normalization is wrong. Similar to how North Korea norma

It does fit. There’s actually science on this. In experiments they have found that women are much more ok with sexual infidelity than men. They aren’t fully ok with it just more ok with it than men by a huge margin. There’s a huge gender di

Can’t wait until entire triple A games are generated by a prompt. Hopefully in my lifetime.

The fallacy is believing that people have principals. A country is in essence people and the failure of a country is atomically identical to failure in people. When you blame the "country" you are blaming people, aka yourself. The

Why does the EU need the US military? China and Ukraine mostly?

Eh it’s not like the EU is some moral paragon either. Trade one overlord for another. I’ll stick with the overlord that’s most convenient.

What am I finding is that the size of the "small" use case is becoming larger and larger as time goes by and the models improve.

AI is not overhyped. It's like saying going to the moon is overhyped. First of all this AI stuff is next level. It's as great, if not greater than going to space or going to the moon. Second the rate at which is improving makes it

The IQ of an individual in a crowd is materially different than the average IQ of the entire crowd.

It’s not. Can you not go around making up fucking shit and baselessly accusing people of posting LLM output? Thanks.

If it happened in dozens of labs… how the fuck does big pharma hold patents on certain drugs? The existence of a patent means the drug was developed and patented by one entity. If a molecule, synthesis path, or mechanism has already been di

So? Zig, D, and C are also alternatives to C++. It’s a class of languages that have zero cost abstractions. Rust is NOT a beautiful language hiding inside of C++. It is not an evolution of C++. I’m pointing out that what you said is objecti

The sweet irony of this post is that this very post itself is written by an LLM.

That's ok, in the near future nobody will actually read this book. AI will be reading it. This is training data.

>Rust is that for C++ No it's not. Rust has roots in functional languages. It is completely orthoganol to C++.

Let me be utterly clear. People with your level of programming skill who incorporate AI into their workflow are in general significantly more productive than you. You are a less productive, less effective programmer if you are not using AI.

Pointers are orthogonal to sum types. They are completely different things and there is literally no tradeoff for the two things you describe. So you’re not making any sense.

Yeah I’m not unbiased enough to actually have that level of self awareness. I thought the ludicrousness of it made it obvious it was sarcasm.
22.
by ninetyninenine 11mo ago
Im not trolling. Just sarcasm to make a point. What I said is true and im saying for you specifically it hit a nerve. Look no offense. The truth sometimes is like that. Everybody needs a bit to stay grounded.

Disagree highly with this. It was up to twice a week before AI. Curious why AI made the rate go down. You seem like a high iq individual. So someone with your intellectual capability must be offended that I would even suggest that HNers lov

by ninetyninenine 11mo ago
There was more prior to AI but yes I exaggerated it. I mean it’s obvious right? The title of this page is hacker so it must be tech related articles every hour. But articles on IQ and cognition and psychology are extremely common in HN. Eno

I am unique. Totally. It is not like HN is flooded with cognition or psychology or IQ articles every other hour. Not at all. And whenever one shows up, you do not immediately get a parade of people diagnosing themselves with whatever the he

The capabilities of LLMs are unclear but it is clear that they are not just search engines or autocompletes or stochastic parrots. You can disagree. But this is not an opinion. You are factually wrong if you disagree. And by that I mean you

Yes but colloquially this characterization you see used by laymen is deliberately used to deride AI and dismiss it. It is not honest about the on the ground progress AI has made and it’s not intellectual honest about the capabilities and we

I'm skeptical because my entire identity is basically built around being a software engineer and thinking my IQ and intelligence is higher than other people. If this AI stuff is real then it basically destroys my entire identity so I c
