It's simply a prioritizing time to market over a global release. You tend to release into the most restrictive environments last and the most forgiving environments first, for obvious reasons.

Its because the standard product development strategy is to get the product into the hands of users to determine value and iterate based on feedback. The EU has rules that are expensive to implement correctly, so if you want early feedback

I think even if what you say is true, it doesn't address parents' point that both humans and machines regurgitate what they've consumed. But I'd also want to point out that the way you're characterizing an LLM plann

These are really cool - I've been meaning to return to my pikchr-in-wasm IDE experiment. I only ever built a PoC, and that was before AI coding. I should pick it back up and polish it a bit, but after seeing your DiagramIDE, I might ju

How about critiquing? Like, the moral equivalent of an editor pointing out issues and/or suggesting alterations? I think it would still be the student doing all the things you pointed out, but I suspect there's a fair amount of l

Sure, but deconstructing the platform to look at the engagement points is also useful. Some things that I think set HN apart in a good way: The lack of any kind of personalization whatsoever on Hacker News is a huge differentiator. There ar

This is the reason I buy many games twice: once when they release on Steam, and again (if I loved them) when the come out on GOG, with Doom Eternal being the most recent example, but also Doom 2016, Skyrim, Dying Light, Tomb Raider, etc. I

These projects are fascinating, and I referenced them in a nearby comment about static hosting from archives. I need to try the latest versions to see how they work at higher scale (more data in the archive).

> All you did was ask the slop generator to make it. Is this founded? I know it's popular to trash every new project that's built with AI in the pipeline somewhere, but there's a big difference between a project built by s

It would be interesting to extend it to zip, which is what redbean/greenbean use to serve static assets. Back in school, I worked on a project called Velox, with a partner - the idea was to take a bz2-compressed dump of the giant XML e

I'm of the school of thought that if a practicing/retired software engineer (i.e. someone I reasonably believe has experience writing software for "production") wrote it, I've got to show it's trash, rather tha

Can anyone explain how the thermals will work? One of the biggest challenges on Earth is cooling the data center, and it's at least as challenging in space.

> If most of the pull-requests were AI-coded, well, the maintainers are equally capable of prompting Claude Code themselves. I see this position a bit: the notion that AI-generated code has no value. I think it's easy to generate ze

I only tried reading Gravity's Rainbow, but boy, was that a totally different literary experience than I've ever had. I could only make progress while listening to trance.

Yep, it's called 10DLC. My teams work on telephony integrations, and for the devs to even test that outbound SMS is working, we need to go through this process with every provider we integrate. Massive pain, indeed.

This is pretty great, in the sense that I'm now very aware I should avoid Flux.ai at all costs, and should recommend to others that they do the same.

I'm into sustainable, long-term vision. I feel like the plea for Google to make their index open has a lot of good points, but I also think it will go nowhere. So I could view Kagi strictly as a service, like a guy who mows my lawn, bu

Nothing public at the moment, unfortunately. I was kind of surprised at the lack of Very Simple scripts to just host a site for a handful of users easily. So I wrote one that focuses on: Unlimited-length posts in a chronological feed.

This is correct. GP hid a lot of unfounded and speculative negativity behind "this is a signal I'm getting". Not only did Yegge interview at Amazon, he also interviewed at Google and was very successful at senior levels of en

Sqlite is good for lots of stuff, but you're probably focusing your days on high-scale webapps that want sharding with networked DBs. That's one domain, and an interesting one, but there are lots of others. I'm a big fan of

I think you mean fallible. It's also a bit weird to "disclose use of LLMs". It rubs me wrong, the same way parents breathlessly talking about "screen time" rubbed me wrong: it's too general, and with such a br

Indeed - I had a team that called this "remote brain execution" (we were a build team that used Bazel, and often fielded questions about why someone's build broke). My favorite phrase on that team was "What have you trie

Section 230 applies to millions of sites. It's important to consider how repeal affects most of them, rather than just the biggest.

Section 230 is foundational to how the web works. I think Mike Masnick has a superb grasp of the salient issues, and is articulate. I recommend his writing on the topic. https://www.techdirt.com/2021/10/29/eve
