Ok, but that only benefits them. If they actually believe this stuff is so dangerous, they should shut down their company, and use their fortune to buy up/shut down all the others. But of course they don't actually believe that. I

Yes, which is nothing compared to the destruction wrought by oil companies, steel manufacturing, meat production, concrete, energy, and transport. Which have actually destroyed our environment for over a century. With only a slight bend tow

Bizarre to say that. When I have it perform work on a bespoke code base on a niche videogame, in a less commonly used language, is that still "regurgitating stuff"? No, it is impossible for it to have seen this combination of thin

That sounds more like the extractive setup of corporations like IBM, where return/specialist must be maximized against the number of clients that can be juggled simultaneously. Whereas in larger technology firms, yes that happens to so

The first premise is reasonable. The second premise is so outlandish as to require dozens of other assumptions, optimistic outcomes for launch, and pessimistic views on the cost of earthbound systems. I care about the environment and I thin

This becomes clear to anyone that wants to do marginally complex work. Developing pipelines that combine pre-processing flows, semantic targeting, and minimal contextual calls to an LLM API gets you powerful automated steps. Combined with s

There is an argument for that being an opinionated part of the Java language, and as i hear it, opinionated programming languages are all the rage. Fwiw, I like that class names and file names must match. In python codebases I have had anno

The second one is almost always used by Healthcare companies in my experience, in a backwards attempt at HIPPA compliance. They want to make sure they called the right person. Except they know everyone hates getting called like this, so the

The biggest irony with telling a recruiter they'll be replaced, is how much easier a data scientist is to replace with LLMs. With their sycophantic nature, execs will eat up whatever "data" the LLMs make up, too.

Sam Altman is the guy fired for lying. Why believe what he claims?

Odd, why can't Trump be both cause and symptom? Surely, he has made things uniquely worse, and in ways that would not have happened without him.

> It's a heuristic that saves me time. A bad one. I listed many other useful heuristics. Do you not find value in them? Do you find stars more valuable than them? Take a moment to consider stars as a useful metric may only be usef

by whatisthiseven 6mo ago
Sure, I suppose that is one solution, but given that buying stars has been around for at least 5 years, and I have been aware of people faking stars for longer than that, I am not sure why you would rely on stars as a primary metric. There

True, but that is beyond my control. I am not evaluating every package within a dependency tree unless something happens, out of practicality. I have limited time on this Earth and at my employer. My job is not critical to life. I am comfor

I don't think I have ever used stars in making a decision to use a library and I don't understand why anyone would. Here are the things I look at in order: * last commit date. Newer is better * age. old is best if still updating.

It's quite telling there are no other recommendations for "bare metal hosting" on HN other than Hetzner. I guess no others in the world exist? Or maybe it's just advertising/astro-turfing. At some point it has to be

Currently 4.7 is suspicious of literally every line of code. May be a bug, but it shows you how much they care about end-users for something like this to have such a massive impact and no one care before release. Good luck trying to do anyt

Worse, I have had it being sus of my own codebase when I tasked it with writing mundane code. Apparently if you include some trigger words it goes nuts. Still trying to narrow down which ones in particular. Here is some example output: &quo
