How can you conclude they’re “wrong”?
You can’t say LLMs are missing the thing that causes consciousness, because we don’t know what that is.

Re:Ask HN: Any active COBOL devs here? What are you working on?
on Friday July 18, 2025 @11:20AM (#44605685)
Government. About 25% of my job. No day to day mainframe development, but we do need to update some logic for new policies and regulations.
There’s not much maintenance work. There are very few bugs, as the core applications have been running for decades, most come up with interactions to external services.
Any major development projects are only in service of lower overall COBOL development time, like transitioning some business logic to database updates.
And there is a decommission plan for the mainframe, so plenty of work helping that team.
Re:Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens

There was no illegal content on kiwi farms. Even then, I’d say taking down a single page by request is understandable. However, they surrendered to the mob and chose to stop archiving the entire site. This was to censor any criticism of the people involved, but as a result, we lost all of the other information on the rest of the site as well. It’s clear this organization cannot handle pressure, and is relying on people treating it kindly.

You’re still only holding yourself accountable, which is harder for some than others. If you don’t have friends to study with, maybe some internet strangers could be a motivational alternative.

For me personally, these models offer much more explanatory power. We don’t have to always view depression as a mental illness.

Re:Changing Your Diet Can Help Tamp Down Depression, Boost Mood

Yes, vegetables are always going to be among the lowest calorie dense foods, and therefore not going to taste that appealing in the face of other options. It’s no surprise then that the ones kids tend to like the most are those vegetables that are highest in density ie corn, carrot, potato, peas. So while you’re not going to teach them to like vegetables, still good to teach them their importance and that they should eat some things even though they don’t taste good
