This whole exchange feels off. Essentially, the underlying spat is over a strong technical disagreement, but it is being prosecuted in this weirdly stylized language of emotion and abuse. I have no idea how something like this can be overco

This seems like it would introduce a tremendous amount of work to solve a problem that basically does not exist. You can just handle your POST request idempotently. We should just live with the semantics we have.

You are not really getting anything in the size difference between this and something like preact, you are going to end up bottlenecked on something else like waiting for CSS to load. This is fine if you just want to write the code in a min

Cool project! Might be nice to include a random permutation method.

Exoneration implies a presumption of guilt, whereas the default should be a presumption of innocence, especially in a scenario where no concrete evidence can be furnished. The professor has undoubtedly caused a great deal of stress and anxi

A lot of jobs are about being able to network and people-manage, not about being able to push PRs. It seems clear to me you are at a disadvantage being remote in these types of roles. Even for people in technical roles, or whose work natura

I have no problem with companies that censor for their international audiences, since asking them not to do it is akin to asking them to simply be banned in an overwhelming number of places. I think the advantages to having American compani

Are you not worried at all that strenuous pushing for regulation will cause unintended bad outcomes? I look at the recent history of technical legislation and see little reason to believe that regulation would result in the outcome of an e

Horrible how people want to be compensated in some manner for their full time work...

I suspect you are right that there's a type of person Haskell feels very intuitive to. I think if your mind works that way you might have a hard time appreciating the degree of confusion "regular" programmers face when trying

I think it's less there is a misunderstanding, and more the author is simply expressing their frustration with this aspect of Japanese culture.

It's always seemed to me like one of the main perks of having your company use a weirder functional language was the ability to attract talent that preferred it to more standard choices. An experienced developer might be willing to act

I don't see how Substack notes replaces the Twitter need, isn't the idea that you post on Twitter to drive traffic to your Substack? It seems like you already have to be subscribed to see someone's notes feed?

Are we going to have to have this discourse for every single instance of GPT doing some semi-novel harm via hallucination? (Probably, I suppose.)

I think you can get an A- on a paper these days for writing anything remotely representing a cogent or lucid train of thought.

Insert any <major issue> in place of AI here and you will also get a truth. We are about as likely to get a sophisticated debate on AI as other issues. The best strategy here is to fall in with whatever unsophisticated line of argumen

I don't see how you can ever profitably offer unlimited AI usage for a fixed fee.

I feel like there is an arbitrage opportunity for someone willing to gather up all these sites and use them to facilitate a discounted GPT API...

K3s seems like a terrible name, given how people will be confused with the numeronym for Kubernetes.

I think we essentially agree here. My main qualm is that the way the paper is presented implies a false degree of rigor (not "rigor" exactly but more so the idea that the arguments are based on some incontrovertible formal reasoni

Unscientific implies there is no reasonable experiment to be able to evaluate a hypothesis. Generally, it is very much possible to conduct scientific experiments on innovations, and even LLMs can be tested to a degree by comparative evaluat

There are many reasons to be nervous about AI, but this line of argumentation seems unscientific.

The thing is that I think it doesn't have to be - its just the convenience of having an LLM trained on all your customer data that you can throw in wherever people would want to generate some text.

This is not the most cogently written argument ever, but I think the points here are all essentially correct. The key risk highlighted here which I have not seen as much talk about is the way that these technologies might give shift power f
