I believe existing laws carve out exceptions for medical fitness for certain positions for this very reason. If I may, stepping back for a second: the reason privacy laws exist, is to protect people from bad behavior from employers, health

If it was really down to two engineers, it's almost certainly what one or both of them were already comfortable or familiar with and no other reason. Six months is such a short time frame for long term projects like this that I imagine

Could you elaborate a little bit more?

plugging your AI newsletter at the end of your comment comes off as an indicator you want to farm engagement, not genuinely stimulate conversation.

>it seems likely that it's going to be on the LLM user to know if the out is protected by copyright. To me, this is what seems more insane! If you've never read Harry Potter, and you ask an LLM to write you a story about a wiza

This is a frustrating comment. Please elaborate with a real point! Just highlighting something that used to be the case, does not imply that it should always be the case, nor does it imply that it reflects the case now.

Wow, I might need to steal that idea for bypassing Jira discussions. I hate Jira with all my might.

This sounds very interesting to me. I'd read through that blog post, as I'm working on expanding my K8s skills - as you say knowledge is very scattered!

Respectfully I disagree there. Social media is dangerous and corrosive to a healthy mind, but AI is like a rapidly adaptive cancer if you don't recognize it for what it is. Reading accounts from people who fell into psychosis induced b

Interesting statement. I suppose you could argue that long term archival storage is communication with a long tailed, sometimes ill-defined window for receiving the message. Few people write books they don't want anyone to read.

I 100% see the Framework Desktop and Steam Machine less as competitors and more as separate flavors of the same form factor: Steam Machine for the lower priced, casual plug-n-play gaming use case, and Framework Desktop for the higher priced

Any recommendations on registrars?

This seems like you are not fully thinking this through, either intentionally or not. Benefit of the doubt, I will add to your question about why you should care with more questions: what if it's someone you know? what if they want to

Just yesterday, there was a post that made me angry in the same vein: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45609942 Not only was the article slop, but the author kept responding to comments/criticisms with MORE slop. I

What is this? The formatting of this article is horrendous, the writing style follows common AI output (read: slop), often to the point of being nonsensical, and the citations are questionable at best. For example, they never actually state

This is why I use the phrase "sucking all the oxygen out of the room" where the proverbial oxygen is funding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_High-Speed_Rail#Hyp... Musk literally admitted he wanted

everybody knew and voiced their knowledge before, during, and after the Vegas tunnel that Boring Co and the Hyperloop were just bad concepts. You didn't need to waste money to try it, because it's not new tech. It's a tunnel.

I agree the market is niche atm, but I can't help but disagree with your outlook long term. Self hosted models don't have the problems ChatGPT subscribers are facing with models seemingly performing worse over time, they don'

In that case the obvious move from the 5$ wrench perspective is to hit you with it until you tell them where the private key is kept, because you would need to have it somewhere.

I've had this same idea! Of course, it remains an idea never taken out of the garage. Are you delivering broadsheet, or formatting a printable file for users to print at home?

Could you link a real source instead of ChatGPT, please?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills or misunderstanding you. Shouldn't it matter that they are using 70mb of RAM more or less totally wastefully? Maybe not a deal breaker for Brave, sure, but waste is waste. I understand the worl

"Given a detailed list of symptoms" is sure holding a lot of weight in that statement. There's way too much information that doctors tacitly understand from interactions with patients that you really cannot rely on those pati

That sounds horrendously inefficient, no? Is creating a giant wobbly world of unreliable AIs all talking to each other in effort to get their own tasks accomplished, is that leaving us much better off than humans doing everything themselves

But who _wants_ a program to be alive? To be super clear, I love the tech behind LLMs and other transformers. But when discussing regular, run of the mill software projects that don't require AI capabilities - do you really need to hav

Hah! Especially seeing the same articles, and pro/con discussions feels like a form of the preceding lines: _"There's only one subject on HN for Christ's sake. _Tips For Agentic AI Use_,_Gemini CLI_, _Building X with Cl

Not to be rude, but what about understanding the "transcendental nature" of LLMs allows people to build more, faster, or with better maintainability than a "hardened industry titan"?

That's all well and good to ask as a what if, but in terms of practical applications, the vast majority of the time you want to trade the other way around whenever possible - you want your system to work reliably. That's the corne

I don't really disagree with you about handwriting CRUD apps. But I'm not sure that having an off-the-shelf solution, from AI output or not, that would spin up CRUD interfaces would _actually_ erase software as an industry. To me
