It is petty, but I find myself on Matt's side. I think he's right about the movement, right about better monetization for open source, right about the trademark issues, and while rude, his comments are harsh truths about DHH and h

I just read his response to DHH, and I find it interesting how he's both out of line, and really right at the same time.

> His boundless ambition is putting AI, and the world, on a dangerous path. Has the narrative really become that Sam Altman is single-handedly responsible for the massive leap in AI? I really don't think that Altman is even close to

The handling of this is so bizarre it makes me want to sympathize with Matt (even though some of the information against him seems pretty damning), grab him by the shoulders and yell "please, for your sake, get offline, listen to your

There's also the issue of screen real estate. I often have other windows (terminal, browser, the build application), and panels within the editor (git, file explorer, console, etc.). It's already a hassle to maintain all this. It

This is in no small-part due to how broken the system is in providing value to the students. Why do the teachers care? Let the students not learn and suffer from it. The only reason they pull stunts like this is because it actually doesn&#x

Because they make billions, and they have to spend it on software development. That these software devs then go out and build slightly different offshoots because of business requirements and technical requirements is, in many ways, inciden

Except that the linked article makes no distinction between LOC and SLOC (quote: "Source lines of code (SLOC), also known as lines of code (LOC)"). So saying "and only around 99 SLOC" is just as wrong since SLOC could me

90% sure the reason is that new users, not familiar with the app, want to see that the change is actually taking place. Without it, the user may expect the post would literally be '*text*' instead of being bolded.

So this is clearly a bot, right? This is the first real data-point for me on HN for how the LLM rot is slowly spreading to the entirety of the web.

I'll also echo that the site looks fine. Very little can beat just clicking "get started" and dropping right into the tool.

The countries you listed are basically all the world players that exert outside influence. It's easy for a country like Canada to sit on the sidelines and go along with orgs like the ICC since we're not really under threat, nor is

What would be the point of having him as CEO if they mistrusted him so much that they would have to put a metaphorical straightjacket on him to make sure he behaved well? Not to mention that if he was vengeful, it would be much easier to do

But you're missing the real point of university, which is to broaden your mind for the low price of 30-120k - and by that I mean pay to do the same thing as free courses online and then regurgitate exactly what your professor tells you

Project Farm is different because he focuses on reviews, and pays for all products himself to prevent bias. That's very different from makeup gurus, investment channels, vlog celebrities, etc.

The golang language spec is very sparse on implementation details in comparison to something like the java spec. I don't think the length of the lang spec is a great metric for language simplicity.
