Quite a fitting response from a non-mind.

>says who? you?

Yes, says exactly them.

You have a problem with people's own opinions in their own comments? Should they somehow reflect your opinion instead?

Beautiful. How did you come up with that? It's strangely captivating.
Excuse me. I consider the writing within technical manuals strictly superior and meticulously written. It's fairly enjoyable to read what engineers/subject matter experts write about their own creations. Comparing those to LLM generated patronizing word vomit is a shame.
That just makes me sad. We'll never see those days again :(

Right? It's so short and...just ends. Been too fatigued reading essays on just about everything. I loved this one.

FWIW, the actual apology is well written.

Thanks for mentioning him. I gained some new perspective and felt inspired by looking around at his work and Twitter.
What a dim witted argument. Go read a book on macroeconomics.
Re:What I learned getting acquired by Google on Thursday November 09, 2023 @09:50PM (#38214508)
My girlfriend works for Google. I just moved to the Bay Area and I can definitely relate. She gives me tours of the Mountain View headquarters (and the campus) quite often and I just feel... it's too tranquil... it's too nice... it's too serene and it's just such a privilege to be here. The atmosphere is calm, the location is on beautiful rolling hills of California, the food is fantastic, there is a strong focus on biking/walking/community. Just lovely.

I'm gonna use that statement from now on.

That fits the candy store reference pretty well - the candy is not doing the kid any favors.

You can send Mullvad an envelope of cash (not kidding) and then no one will know (hopefully)!

Perhaps news to some, non-news to some. Why do we allow "product launches" on HN? Why let anything with a commercial motive ever appear on this forum? Because HN serves a very broad audience, and consequently allows information that might not pertain to everyone but still deemed valuable by some.
Re:Bolt founder on Stripe/YC on Tuesday January 25, 2022 @03:15AM (#30069472)
Person: How many Stripe competitiors does YC fund?

You: Go here, do this.

Person: That doesn't provide anything meaningful in this context.

You: I don't pretend to know...

Then why present said "data point" at all?

> Seeing a CEO who publicly complains turns me away from even wanting to try the product.

Really? That turns you off? What a lame argument. Your criteria for using Stripe is that "the product works" but not using Bolt is "CEO who complains".
