thanks for the nice feedback, I appreciate it. Actually, regarding your sentiment, I also wrote a post where I said that the technology is good, but that people overhype it https://proofinprogress.com/posts/2023-02-01&#

I can‘t believe the citizens of a country have to stand up against mass surveillance every few years. This is nonsense. I guess we‘ll see more approaches like Signal and crypto where digital policy is being executed upon without the involve

this was an interesting read, although the beginning was a bit confusing. I laughed a little when I saw the author hinting at TS creating complex structures. A reason I never adopted it. A great use of TS would be to type the external inter

Yeah that's fine. But you have to consider that an article called "LLM discourse needs more nuance" will never make it in the /new sub page on HN. There is so much competition that uses the same tricks but potentially le

I didn't intend to insult the AI crowd as in "Millions of people are stupid." (as in e.g. "you, ML engineer are stupid"! I did NOT intend that). But in a stampede or a market mania people don't get hurt because

yeah sure, that's the same argument as "Twitter is a private company so stop being outraged by censorship." I find it paternalistic that only _certain_ things get moderated in this way while other stuff is "too hard to d

#13 Virtual DOM is pure overhead (2018) is a dramatization. It says everyone using the virtual DOM is stupid for not optimizing their code and still using react. As someone with a lot of equity in react, it is shocking because it invokes a

Just exemplary, the #4 on HN right now is "A Cold War mystery: Why did Jimmy Carter save the space shuttle?" This is a fairly normal occurrence and nobody would dare to moderate it. But it is clearly super clickbait (of a nothing

I spent lots of time to think of the title „The AI Crowd is Mad“ because I wanted to hit all triggers for virality (belief, belonging, behavior). A bit disappointed it was moderated/changed
