As per usual, that’s British slang which was carried over to Australia. Almost all slang phrases Americans associate with Australia are British in origin and still in wide use, as you’d expect given the history of both countries.

Do you not feel uneasy about demonstrating such entitlement?

But the person being addressed specifically used the term cybercrime.

It should never have been a mere formality anyway.

Damage to property including military bases, damage to property considered to be Jewish-owned, and a documented list of targets including charities, government buildings and financial institutions.

Let’s not trivialise such activities.

We’re firmly beyond the pale when you use a decommissioned prison van as a battering ram, attack security personnel with a sledgehammer and mark people with spray paint.

Get a grip. PA is a proscribed organisation, and with good justification. If Sally wishes to fund the organisation, she must face the same consequences as those funding similar organisations.

There is so much misinformation in your comment that it’s difficult to find a good place to start. Even if one were to bother, you’ve started from such a point of disingenuousness that it would be futile.

They said what they wanted to say, and it was quite clear. The person who commented suggests we don't use client-edge compute unless we have a specific need for it, i.e., don't treat it as a default due to its apparent simplicity up front.

You've taken it in a rather odd direction with the request for a framing more palatable to you.

I can’t think of someone more worthy of the collective attention of HN than Rich Hickey.

Drew is hardly one we should listen to on matters spanning weirdness. He’s a total creep.

Oh well, obviously. That's precisely how opinions work. To share several opinions with DHH on matters technical in nature is to agree with all DHH opinions on matters universal.

HN commentary becomes closer to reddit by the day.

Petty aside: Several JS people I know who were previously quite down on using a dependency injection framework are now seeing the benefits after adopting Effect. The most egregious example being a colleague who considered the adaption of DI tooling to be a language-level defect. It’s now one of his primary selling points for Effect.

Brilliantly put. Hedonic adaptation is exactly what it appears to be.

It’s frustrating to observe communities made up of smart, professional individuals as they behave like spoiled children on the day after Christmas when new toy novelty has begun to wane.

I understand it’s relatively harmless but for goodness sake, take a step back and appreciate what you have instead of immediately wanting the thrill of a newer model. Slow down and do deliberate work to get the most out of these amazing tools. Don’t just live off the temporary thrill of finding something marginally better than what you have.

That's a fascinatingly softened description of both, particularly Lula. Something related to his tacit support for violent far-left terrorism, vote buying or corruption would have trumped "doddering" for me.

Isn't the popular understanding of AI slop perfectly aligned with what you're saying? I.e., AI slop is the result of lazy and/or careless prompting.

I'm not particularly keen on the font selection observation. Boring is ideal for the vast majority of interfaces. Far worse is the vulgar font selections guided by design skill documents which disallow common font selections.

Something missing from the list of tells is overuse (or even any use at all) of the middle dot (·).

> But our underlying belief is one of profound optimism: that greater intelligence can ultimately produce a world of greater abundance, greater knowledge, and greater possibility, while allowing us to build in a way that benefits both intelligent life and the natural world around us.

When will any of those things be realised?

I'm seeing the precise opposite be reported by humans not engaged in growth marketing or techbro evangelism. Fewer job opportunities and career paths the world over, fewer incentives for private investors to invest in anything other than AI infrastructure, reduced access to consumer technology products, etc.

I find it curious how quickly the term oligarch has been diminished. The usage in the linked article is so loose as to be meaningless. I can't blame the author too strongly given the default mode for discourse on the internet over the past decade has been tabloid fervour.

I've not got a huge amount to appreciation for PHP but I'm not sure it makes sense in 2026 to refer back to an article which suggests Perl with Catalyst as an alternative to PHP with Symfony or Laravel.

I suppose you are more a fan of the histrionic tone of the criticism than anything? In which case, I'm with you there. It's equal to the most unhinged but technically correct rants of Zed Shaw for me.

Look, either you loosen your understanding of native to be the region you are born, or you tighten it to mean precisely indigenous.

None of the populations of North America, Australia or the British Isles are indigenous by any neutral definition of the term. Populations have migrated and settled these regions over thousands of years.

You are a native of a nation if you are born within its borders. It is that simple.

Can you clarify why? I believe native anything is a flawed concept since a human, let alone an entire ethnicity, does not grow from the soil. Populations have moved, migrated and settled throughout our entire history.

Your replies are directly from an LLM too.

Amongst other tells, “it’s free and MIT” stated as a noteworthy feature gives strong “how do you do, fellow kids” vibes.

You’ve mentioned the mass of sloppy content you know we’re drowning in. Throwing more slop our way isn’t likely to help things.

Take the ideas from your generated work so far and put your own intellect to work on it. Find someone to bounce ideas off. You might find it fun, and it might provide some human interest worthy of a new HN post in future.

There are no breakthroughs. And your attempt to closely associate LLM’s with compilers is tiresome.

Look, you are allowed to feel excited about using coding agents but understand we don’t have to lower the bar with the purpose of entertaining your LLM induced delusions of grandeur.

I don’t see the point of letting an LLM generate an article when the topic is your personal, subjective experience which only you, a human, would be able to express.

> who wants this is literally every mainstream consumer.

Any basis for believing this?

That’s really not how personal endorsement works.
