Wow, the worst example of violation of privacy is...(wait for it) local push notification storage being plaintext. We already bought it, no need to sell more Apple product to us!

And MS-DOS was a massive success. Even 'massive' is such an understatement and English probably needs to invent a new word for that level of world-changing business. So yeah, perhaps it isn't fooling the author, but it doesn&

Yeah. It's just some random self-help piece. But slightly worse, as at least self-help books would provide some examples.

That's how bloat happens. The more people you add to the team, the more likely there would be one grump who thought that the thing they care at the moment deserved to be added to the system prompt.

I don't think your idea of 'fishy taste' is the same as theirs.

Because it's objectively non-expensive, compared to the hardware you want (not need ) for photography.

The comment you linked to doesn't know what they are talking. (Edit: given the context, they know what they're talking about, but you don't) A game having random mechanisms has absolutely nothing to do with whether it's

A million foreign students are studying in US universities. Millions applied. What a joke education system indeed!

College exam tests C++ syntax and people frame it as a good thing. Interesting. It sounds almost indefensible for me. If it were Scheme perhaps it would be okay, but C++ and Java...

Or, you know, it's far easier to input natural language with voice-to-text than coding with voice-to-text, so even if they can write long comments on HN, coding is still a problem? Nah, impossible. They must be making up their carpal

Is there a "mind-blowing fact" about category theory? Like the first time I've heard that one can prove there is no analytical solution for a polynomial equation with a degree > 5 with group theory , it was mind-blowing.

No one is claiming an agent can do 50% of arbitrary tasks. It's just 50% of METR's benchmark set. > I think you're overestimating, or oversimplifying Yeah if you only read comments on HN but not the actual linked article

All of them. It's simply impossible to sell tokens by usage at a loss now. You'll be arbitraged to death in a few days. It only makes sense to subsidize cost if you're selling a subscription.

It's not the argument the maintainer gives. I unironically suggest at least use AI to summarize that thread if you don't bother reading it before commenting.

I'm pretty pro-AI, but I find it very amusing that every single time an open source project enacts no-AI policy, someone will chime in and explain how it will be outcompeted by the yes-AI version, while in reality it never happens.
