I'm pretty confident that in such a case they just hire the name, and that people doing the actual work will be hired on purpose with the required qualifications.

Now that the native ocaml repl has landed, can't we just slap a s-expression syntax on top of ocaml and call it a day? We would have homoiconicity and the macros that go with it, and still could call "(compile `some-code)". I

Like many corporate behaviors I believe we tend to rationalize them too much. Most job posts for management ask for previous experience with "implementing AI". Managers don't want to be left out any more than devs. Devs rewri

multimodal models with environmental grounding may eventually have an analog [of affect]. text-only agents can’t. I'd be curious to hear an explanation about why text can't. Or equivalently, why multimodal could.

branch names are just a summarization of your commit messages What kind of dev workflow leads to this surprising opinion?

Many of us are forced to spend time reviewing automatically generated code for work, so there is an understandable reluctance to be asked to do the same here as well.

HN is for technical discussions. Even if the parent were only judging by his own personal preferences that would be relevant here. Note: I've written a lot of C by profession and passion, yet I find parent's criticisms mostly va

I've spent enough time wondering where a given short name was pulled from that i came to see lack of namespace as a quasi feature.

Actually, I remembered having read that in an old interview in the early 2000s, but I can't retrieve it now so it's safe to assume that it's a false memory. Lua was designed to be an extension language though (checked on wiki

That was the initial intended use case for Python to be a configuration language.

Looks quite interesting, hope to find some time to give this extension a try one of these days!

I'm surprised that people consider this a victory. It just shows how much open source became irrelevant to users' freedom.

We make those idyllic paintings, we dream of justice and peace and cooperation, yet we are 100% part of nature.

I think the idea is simple, and clear. Simple and clear yet everything that follow is controversial. :) First, humans are animals. You mean "each species value itself more than others"? I don't know, but I certainly d

By that logic, then we "disrupting" that equilibrium is also part of the equilibrium. Is it consistent to let a few adult male seals murder hundreds of pups while at the same time forbid hunters to hunt a few seals for fur, or fis

I find the final question about human intervention fascinating. The scientists aren’t recommending intervention, even if the perpetrators tend to be the same few individuals. “We don’t know how natural it is,” says Ursula Siebert, a vet

humans are the only known lifeform that can look at the stars ... sentience and free will. Ants look at the canopy and try to understand. Feeling good about themselves while farming a herd of aphids, they marvel: "evolution opt

Rust "denialism" is as annoying as rust evangelism. Of course any seemingly idiomatic rust is going to run circles around TS transpiled into JIT-compiled JS.
