Not really. I have the above and my partner has pots/mcas. They're nothing alike.

This is all true. My ADHD is hugely related to and impacted by diet. I also get headaches, brain fog, and all of the above if I eat gluten. Bodies are fun.

Yes the whole bootcamp ring was a con job. Shame on them.

Not sure if the "Made in England" Dr Martens are Solovair made but they're the brand you want. Solovair continue to make good boots after DM moved production and whatnot to crap factories and methods.

Four MONTHS?! Most of the dolts I interviewed in the UK had a 6 week bootcamp behind them and called themselves "JavaScript Experts". No joke.

I hope Hurd has its day. Maybe in 100 years or something.

Programming language evolution has always been the pursuit of abstractions that enable expressiveness and simplicity. Your comment boils down to "I'm smart", which in the end, isn't terribly smart. Having simplicity and

I think you're right and it is sad to see. I think had they stuck to their guns, the language might not feel like it has lost the point.

You're being reductive. It isn't just one copy of the book. It is using the book to enable, in some part, value to be generated from it that goes in the pocket of a rent seeker (AI business) and not the author.

Inability. Inability to stay on topic. You're at least an American. That checks out.

Way to prove their point.

Even if true, this kind of response is unhelpful and fosters dismissal of your point. This kind of attitude more broadly paints AI advocates as cultists because they refuse to engage beyond "you're doing it wrong". How about

Right, and...? Just because many things can do something doesn't negate a discussion about one of the things. Your point (which it barely is one) isn't really interesting or useful.

Other than misplaced nihilism what's your point?

In the UK the government put up ANPR cameras to enforce a clean air zone. People with electric saws love pulling them down. They're only as permanent as their protection.

Nobody should be strong armed in to training models whose intention is replacing them. Technology has become a societal torture device and AI is the largest power grab in history. How dare humans be able to leverage their reasoning for a wa

I think intent, rather than target, is implied and important. You should see the abuse my motorbike gets. Poor thing.

They also own a lot of the venue infrastructure across the industry such as catering, tour buses, security,... They have leverage with venues they dont own and a monopoly across industry verticals. Sickening situation for music.

I suspect it was considered many times, but the sheer computation scale would make it feel like obscene brute force. It feels like the right shape but too wild to think about implementing. I think as time went on, and hardware got better, i

I have a rule for myself. If I think something is silly or stupid, I assume I don't understand it. I usually find I do not understand it, and it no longer seems silly when I do understand it. In this case too, you think it is silly bec

But get your car stolen in the UK and the police won't do a thing. Even if you know where it is via a tracker. Nothing. Outright refuse to take any action.

I think the attention mechanism is so simple but so revolutionary that people forget it. Like the best leaps in thinking, once it is made, is is immediately obvious and intuitive.

You missed the third and most important reason to learn: fun. Which sums up HN these days.

Truly feels like witnessing the worst of capitalism and greed play out. All that compute and energy towards a narrative of reducing the need for skilled programmers. What a waste. These people don't have our interests in mind and every
