afaik at least half the things you said are simply not true. Android is not dead. It might be dead to you based on your values, but that doesn't change the fact that loads of people use it and develop for it. Stop exeggerating, please.

I wonder when they see legal betting on a company's future success as a bad thing for society. For now one can only dream, unfortunetaly.

Not to this degree in the last few decades. But I feel you are overall correct, it's just that the Internet allows for much bigger coverage of the details of the horrors committed, and it's interesting how governments around the w

It is incredibly interesting how the US (and Germany) have put so much into Israel and associated groups they really don't want it to fail (despite the Israeli gov doing their damnest to facilitate just that). In my understanding Israe

If we can create an AGI, then an an AGI can likely create more AGIs, and at that point you're trying to sell people things they can just have for free/traditional money and power are worthless now. Thus, an AGI will not be built a

This concept is in the novel Accelerando - so I think once again it's just AI-fans LARPing, just like the rest of the current LLM hype

Very good find, thank you for writing it down. For some time I had the impression that they could be unified, I just never bothered trying.

I don't think it's down to ability, I think it's down to the decision not to learn itself. And that scares me.

No. Your understanding is only as good as what you saw for yourself, no superficial explanation will serve you. Of course, the LLM will not even give you a suitable answer anyway for anything beyond trivial code snippets.

also the additional heat you produce outside of the building... making some AC-dense city areas even more unbearable at 40°C than they already are.

Looking at your code, I don't think you understand any of the regular DB requirements, let alone how to implement a vector database that is actually fast. Because, let me tell you: this isn't it. Please get more experience and use

This explains why I'm so confused and troubled by python's list comprehension syntax, thanks!

That is somewhat of a sensible view if you've seen the worst of the worst in startups - I just feel that rounds of layoffs are more common; but then again I work in a government-y enterprise situation with no layoffs.

And my answer is: stop being a user when you want to be a developer so bad. Write the tool you need. (we certainly did with our company internal tool, but then we're all seniors who only use autocomplete and query mechanisms other than

You are sadly completely missing the point of ever-self-improving automation. Just also use the commit history. Better yet: don't be a bot slave that is controlled and limited by their tools.

Interesting. Now I'm worried we're moving from prescription lenses to subscription lenses.

I feel you are both having very similar views, just your somewhat bad-faith interpretation of their words makes this unnecessarily complicated: the person you are responding to is probably largely talking about those who "don't ev

Appreciating that not everyone tries to optimise for LLMs and we are still doing things like this. If you're looking at HN alone, it sometimes feels like the hype could drown out everything else.

Absolutely. As history shows though, you can't keep that last state particularly stable, so we will always have times of equality, times of oppression/exploitation and times of killing today's flavour of nobility, ad infinitu

Finding a product quickly is actually the opposite of what a store owner would want, because it means you are spending less time on looking at the other products. Yes I hate that attitude too.

Saving up on actual cables you carry around - you always have that one extra iphone cable, while everyone else is on USB-C for years now.

Acquire as much vendor lock-in as possible - everyone pulling in all directions equally means that your position is going to be incredibly stable!
