predictably, summing up the entire worlds cinema as inferior to one nations cinema provokes disagreement. you can simply say that you were wrong to make such a sweeping judgement and have no actual notion of the entire worlds cinematic out

it appears that MAGA has successfully dismantled the USA. I don't expect any further fair elections, TBH. I'm rather aghast at how much of American corporate money is just either collaborating with an obviously criminal regime or

OTOH, trump is not very clever, and IS rather infantile. its sufficient to allege that forces that seek to destabilize American power likely aided Trump financially and he is proving a good investment. the term is "useful idiot"

we actually had books by folks like Naomi Klein back in the 90s that indicated that the petroleum-based forces would subvert international cooperation for the sake of short-term profits. we were informed of the current navelgazing nationali

I've noticed that nearly ANY criticism here is grayed out. HN has a credibility problem here.

what's up with all the waymo sycophantry here? choruses repeating the same claims "its ok for waymo to enter the bike lane" "yeah, waymo is right" "yes, good waymo entering the bike lane because reasons"

i am suspicious of all the anti-human-driver comments and all the dismissal of any concerns about Waymo in the comments here. I am not convinced that public testing of such services is safe, let alone commercial service. One cannot punish a

Mozilla config makes the old Windows registry look logically organized and named. (try to disable cache, for example...) i am unclear if Google merely counts on Mozilla acting like a reincarnation of the living-fossil that is the Apache fou

almost like they think a desktop monitor is a portrait mode phone screen... it's not like we dont have media query API, google, but hey, it fits with the general dumbing down and phonification of all interfaces that should have stopped

the earth is not the property of humans, nor is any of it empty until you show zero ecosystem or wildlife or plants there. for sure, we are doing our best to eradicate the conditions that make earth habitable, however i suggest that the fi

navel gazing will be shown to be a reactionary empty step, as all current global issues require more global cooperation to solve, not less. the individual phenomena you describe are indeed detritus of this failed reaction to an increasing a

LLMs are the least deterministic means you could possibly ever have for automation. What you are truly seeking is high level specifications for automation systems, which is a flawed concept to the degree that the particulars of a system ma

I am concerned about the authors propensity for taking pop cultural memes very very seriously. Somewhere in here is a lightbulb waiting to go off and a complete human ready to be born. Maybe consider going camping.

the fiscal conservatives want to avoid taking responsibility for having been a part of electing trump, and now seek to blame society itself for what they have themselves wrought, and they invoke a sacred ancient authors pluggable quote mach

Just to clarify, for the reader, that ansible and python are only required for the deployment host, not it's targets. being agentless and using ssh for transport, the target hosts need only have an ip address listed in the deployment h

the people paying for development see "more = better" and spend their time envisioning how to add and connect more things. alternatively, there may be 50 petty feifdoms each with it's own heirarchy and vested interests to de

Anyway, i enjoyed reading a sane human expressing sane views, for a change. The ycombinator sponsorship thing seems to put an insanely large thumb on all scales always, around here, so much so that rules sort of allude to one being prohibi

I finally found a real human on this website! The default pose here on HN can be rather eye rollingly bad: "oh, you will FALL BEHIND, everyone is using LLMs and they provide advantages you cannot conceive of, it's an arms race, no

Well, yes. CORPORATE BEHEMOTHS do not appreciate small players getting top search results, for one. The article raises a valid point about indifference and lack of responsibility and authority being weaponized. "What are you gonna do a

These voters were scammed. Many still don't realize or believe this, and they avoid real news for the purpose of keeping faith in the easter bunny they voted for.

Have you no hesitation, even at this late juncture? Read everyone elses comment above, and try to stretch your critical thinking ability just a bit. Trump is our Caesar, we have ceased to be a constitutional republic, and you defend this w

"Skeptical of AI skeptics"... gimme a break, logic doesn't work like that. So called AI is the one with the burden to prove things. Skepticism is a natural position of repose. Nice try, though. I wonder when the shrill attemp

Can we now admit that AI coding hype was overplayed, just like every other LLM application being foisted upon us. An AI IDE or coding assistant? Yuk. No thanks. I have enough frustrations with normal IDEs and their overgrown spellcheck men

It is a stronger rage than you allude to. The world is smoldering in a rage at American hubris exemplified by Trump and his sycophants. One cannot literally insult and attack the entire world on the declining phase of having been the most d

It's so strange how all the federal agencies all spout obvious propaganda now with this new regime and its loyalty tests. Just know that the entire rest of the world will generally not be queueing up to kiss the ring. Absolutely no hum
