   I don't see a problem with that and is not what I had in mind with "pretty big hints". See my other reply here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47493450

   I'm not talking about getting more in-depth explanations or clarifications about class material, I'm talking about: "If I were you, I would really focus on that exercise on page 47 (wink wink). Also, just skip chapter 4 (wink

   It's not the office hours themselves that felt unfair, but the way some students got privileged hints about upcoming exams.

   I remember in college there were always small groups of students chatting with professors after class or going to office hours. Many profs would drop pretty big hints about upcoming exams. I guess it was a mix of enjoying the attention, pit

   For every MongoDB and NFT, there is also the personal computer, the Internet, the web, the smartphone, etc. If you think LLMs are comparable to NFTs, well I really don't know what to say... It's genuinely shocking to me that there

   People who reject those things don't get left behind... In fact, they tend to live more successful lives and spend less time in prison.

   They'll get left behind in the same sense that 1980s professionals who refused to touch computers got left behind.

    The point is that people who reject them on moral grounds won't be using them, irrespective of whether they are easy to use.

    I feel bad for people who reject LLMs on moral grounds. They'll likely fall behind, while also having to live in a world increasingly built around something they see as immoral.

    I think anyone would. But that’s not the scenario here. The question is: would you spend your last decade in a cell just to have the "satisfaction" of knowing where some gold is buried?

    Younger. The opportunity cost of time scales non-linearly with age. If you're old enough, 10 years can be a life sentence.

    Spending a decade in jail at age 60+ is a hell of a price to pay for a few millions. I'm tempted to believe he doesn't actually know where the coins are. If that's the case, he just spent 10+ years in a cage because a judge d

    Same here. I don't understand how people leave it running on an "autopilot" for long periods of time. I still use it interactively as an assistant, going back and forth and stepping in when it makes mistakes or questionable a

    Isn't this essentially a "free" proxy where the install base also act as exit nodes? It's a common pattern among "free" VPN services and kinda risky.

    Is he your uncle or something? I was just saying that it's surprising someone whose livelihood revolves around Apple uses a 5 year old MacBook. And yeah, if he was not an Apple enthusiast, Apple wouldn't suffer but his blog would.

    I don't know... I used to upgrade MacBooks more frequently in the past even when they were functioning perfectly fine. There was usually a compelling reason like a markedly better screen, a big jump in performance, or noticeably improv

    Somewhat unrelated but are there good boilerplate/starter repos that are optimized for agent based development? Setting up the skills/MCPs/AGENTS.md files seems like a lot of work.
