>And I don't agree working at Google or whatever means you're not allowed to privately have a forum where you can talk about tech as a hobby. As far as I can tell nobody's advocating this. Anyone is free to spin up a priv

Of course you don't see it. This entire submission got artificially pushed off the front page. This is exactly what I'm talking about.

>Most of us don't work at those places. Right, but we should be able to shame, ostracize, and criticize the people that do work at those places because if we don't then it's a tacit approval of what they do. You know that

I would, if people on that woodworking forum did critical work for DOGE, or Palantir, or Facebook, or Sam Altman.

This is what happens when one allows oneself to hide in "safe spaces" (like HN) where there's a "no politics" rule enabling people to hide and avoid being confronted with the ramifications of their actions. The enti

I found out it's easy to write Swift/Appkit apps without the dumpster fire that is Xcode! It turns out it's really easy to do it with good old `make`.

Yes, that is exactly what I'm proposing. You're talking about a library of markdown files for your own personal use to practice writing some code, posted to github, and includes a bunch of language about how to contribute, explici

I fail to see the value to someone transitioning to Go if there aren't any reference solutions. How would one know if one's code is idiomatic, without either a reference or someone to ask? And if you have someone to ask, what&#x27

It wouldn't be reported as an Instagram breach, in that case.

A lot of the features in org simply aren't adding a ton of utility, IMHO. If you need to represent tabular data, possibly with rudimentary calucations, in plain text then it's great. For anything more complex it's best to jus

Sure but each "completely trivial" step adds complexity to the overall process, which makes it brittle. I'd rather just write in markdown than have to spend hours upon hours reading the awful emacs docs. I have a thousand th

It makes it more attractive for FOREX trading, maybe, but economic instability (which Trump is absolutely fomenting) is anathema to investors.

The market, where I live anyway, has largely forgiven VW for the diesel thing. Probably every fifth or sixth car I see in my city is a Volkswagen, and lots of them are recent models. It's absolutely not too little too late for them.

It absolutely is pronounced "wares" as in "software" but 13 year old me didn't know that so I and everyone I knew pronounced it "war-ezz", as in "warfare". Oh, the times before voip

I think we're talking past eachother. I'm saying: Whether or not the Russians consider their silos to be more or less survivable than their truck-based missiles is immaterial, and doesn't change the calculus at the strategic

by stackghost 9mo ago
I don't agree regarding a quad vs a triad. At risk of sounding like gpt, the triad is not silo/boomer/bomber, it's land-based/airborne/seaborne. Whether or not the survivability of your land-based ICBMs are due

Strategic bombers are just as important because MAD itself is fundamentally a political and diplomatic tool. The reason you have strategic bombers is, as you correctly said, so that you can signal your posture and intent by stationing them

Yes that's the orthodox doctrine of nuclear deterrent. To be truly effective you need a triad of land-based ICBMs, nuclear-armed submarines, and aircraft-based delivery systems so that your second-strike capability remains intact thro

The default personality (You're absolutely right!) is so grating, but 5.2 set to "terse, professional mode" or whatever they call it is pretty good at not being sycophantic. I would imagine that the sort of person who is pre

I think for OpenAI's liability it's less about intent than it is about negligence.
