It is very strange to me to have the thought "man, the current bee population cant support the human population much farther" then on the heels of that, "the human population is about to experience a significant decline"

Motorboats are for people who want to get to the destination, Sailboats are for people who want to enjoy the journey. It's funny though, James Bond books don't illicit the same ire that Pynchon does and I'd argue the two are

There's a balance here, and for me it comes down to whether or not I'll be able to remember all of the narrow edge cases that this particular piece of code will introduce. Will braces around if statements matter when QA comes back

This sparks something I have always been fascinated by, hopefully someone can illuminate this for me. If someone was born with profound blindness, or deafness or any profound lack of sense - what do they see in their heads? Or hear? I hear

If we agree GPT4 is a net negative compared to the work it's replacing, then the more hardware you throw at it, the less C02 would result. Scale in this case is a Negative

You say that, but if I'm confused about something and think hard about it, I think in language. If you blinded me, paralyzed me, deafened me and desensitized my olfactions, I could still think, but what I would be doing is feeding one

This honestly depends on whether you are familiar enough with the Ruff codebase and Rust syntax, no different than just "doing it by hand". At this point (IMHO) ChatGPT does not make a meaningful difference in the production of so

This addresses none of the concerns raised in the above post, which you malign as a rant. Hacker news is not the place for hot take-downs and ignorant dismissals. There are other places for that.

I believe a fundamental design tenet for Phoenix is the idea of "do it _this_ way, but there's always an escape hatch if you want/need it."

I would also humbly conjecture that Stripe and Paypal aren't freezing small business for fun-zies and giggles. I'd imagine that any competitor would get caught in the same regulatory tarpit these other companies have found themsel

Truly what most people use the computer for is pornography. 1 type of person "Bicycle for the mind", another type of person "porn machine". This has no bearing on the value prop of personal computers. Guess which kind of

I have to admit my brain seems to be short circuiting on this one. Aren't these 2 ways of saying the same thing?

Same rate? Well hard to say, but micro algal reactors can get pretty efficient, albeit at high cost - but that's a moot point in this scenario.

Ironic that you would make such a sweeping assumption about the audience based on the article. Would you say the same of `Make Friends and Influence People`? That it's written for autistic people who didn't learn common sense duri

I used to be a cook in a a few michelin starred restaurants, so you can trust my opinion here. Gas is far superior to electric heating elements because of the speed at which it can change temperature, and makes flambeing a cinch. That being
