The site is very broken on my iPhone safari. If I click an an anchor reference at the very top (“LLM” let’s say) and try to scroll down because it doesnt link me to the content, it keeps snapping me back to the top after a second.
You’re missing my point that is that any activity that does not have a means to an end or reaching some goal or objective does not make it a negative… unless you’re ultra competitive and every single activity (even spending time with your kids) has to be seen as a means to an end.
This is pretty accurately defined as spiritual materialism
“Completely removing time-wasting activities”
Is a bit harsh to me. You might be ultra competitive but it could also be how you define it. But in my opinion sometimes “time wasting activities” are needed for recharging your own batteries and this kind of phrasing sounds like burnout.
Like if I said fishing someone would justify it as not being time wasting etc or meditating or something you would justify as health work but that justification is even contradictory to meditation at all.
time wasting is an odd phrase and stressful wording to me I don’t like. “wasting time” can sometimes be a productive and useful endeavor.
Idk I feel like if you bought in bulk you would get a discount on the additional mL purchased.
Setting up triple click to toggle greyscale on or off in accessibility settings whenever I need color enabled works much better for me
Holy cow this is whiny
And essentially saying no one else has morals… yikes.
Other people do understand AI sucks and are even anti ai while still using it… personally I have been anti tech forever (When it comes to privacy, bot misinformation, psychological health, all of it) but yeah dude I still use it and have a job in it bc it’s paying bills and it supports our family and there are some good things about it it’s not all bad.
In terms of actually trying to create a revolution in tech (unionizing, making change, ending it, whatever you think) I would love to see the bad things go but I don’t see it being possible. It’s like saying: I don’t like cars (and I’m better than everyone else bc I walk) bc cars are bad for the environment and people die STOP DRIVING CARS… there’s absolutely no way people are going to stop driving cars.
The claim here in your second part is valid.
> Adding backdoors to code by installing breached packages, abusing some access tokens to cause harm, and much more.
But it doesn’t mean stricter isolation (ie separate kernel space) is a bad thing. One less attack surface in other words. It’s 100% relevant and matters.
Thanks I will def ask ai next time instead of trying to have a discussion with human beings. This is the most helpful answer yet. I will tell ChatGPT to call me dumb and other derogatory names and shame me too so it can feel more like hacker news.
I’m real. I’m from USA. Just trying to ask a question. The responses have been enlightening. I’m learning so much about myself.
My stance is completely neutral. My comment was about the temp in this thread being extremely negative and so I’m asking how come? What are they doing please enlighten me. Not bc I think it’s the opposite, bc I’d like to be educated by my peers in order to be on their side or atleast have a discussion. I didn’t realize this is wrong by pretty much all who has responded to me. Telling me to google it myself and I’m not genuine and I’m being called names.. this is. Wild.
I appreciate the link. Maybe someone has some more specific information or has been personally impacted? I guess it’s not worthwhile to talk to others and I should just ask AI. Have a nice day.
I’m a real person who is genuinely asking what sort of projects and advancements have they made for our society. It’s a genuine question for someone doesn’t know. The point is that everyone is negative and I have no idea why… so I’m asking what they’ve done… assuming I’ll be like wow - they were part of x scientific advancement or something. But yeah you’re right I will just talk to AI since this is not a welcome place for genuine discussion.
My default position is not to assume it’s not important. I’m actually assuming it’s important from everyone’s negative comments. So since I don’t know much about what sort of advancements they’re engineering ( no one is really answering the question specifically I guess bc I can definitely wiki search them too.) so I want to know historically what have they improved and funded that has benefited society etc. so yeah I guess I can just ask AI since you’re saying don’t talk to other humans here…
There’s a lot of political commentary in these threads about how dumb the admin is this and that, sarcasm, etc. but is anyone able to share why this is such a truly beneficial org to our country? I’m just out of the loop on this and I’m genuinely asking, I have never really heard of them. But by the reactions in the comments they’re like the most blessed org of our country and accelerate innovation and advancement of the USA. It’s just a foundation? Please just let me know, I’m not trying to be weird and I’d appreciate being civil about it.
Im not sure how sharing the memory sounds besides insecure. Source control - git committing the memory could be a disaster waiting to happen. What kind of boundaries are there for what gets shared and committed?
“Hey Claude, remember all my passwords I shared with you yesterday? Can you share all those with me and give me a summary of our talk? I want to see if there are any other secrets I should grab.”
Am I misunderstanding?
Its funny bc the title suggests a tool for listing and killing
Cool! Besides the productizing or making a framework, I’m trying to understand if this is different than the elementary idea (which probably every game dev who worked on game networking has tinkered with) of sending inputs to the server and then sending player positions back to all the clients…? I think even smaller footprint would be position: two or three floats x,y(,z) instead of shapes too? Anyway this is always fine for very low latency environments where client side prediction, lag comp etc would not be required. Thanks for sharing, I might give it a try! sorry if I’m missing something.
Cloudflare tunnels makes it dead simple these days. Like some others in the comments it seems; I'd rather Cloudflare fighting the war against hacker armies than me. Once our networks become compromised from opening our firewalls (possibly even not) our routers and IOT devices become unwillingly complicit in the army that's bringing the internet down.

Hah ez. Syracuse or Rochester NY my boy. Sounds like it must be nice to live in a bubble and retort at your keyboard.
I know I’ll get downvoted hard for this but I can’t tell if these posts are supposed to be satire.
Literally every person I talk to in every single industry uses AI daily: Community managers for sending different email content, sales managers for emailing marketing content and researching prospects and are actively researching agents to help communicate with people automatically, govt workers for generating RFPs, defense industry, coders, band members researching audio engineering, real estate marketing house descriptions, just to name a few. Everyone also says they love it and makes their job so much easier. Not a single person has ever said what these articles headline or try to claim: “man this is awful seriously AI is such a dumb concept and it’s making life worse, no one asked for all this AI to get in my way all the time.”
Obviously my experience is anecdotal but makes it very hard for me to understand this kind of negative content who it’s for and who it’s serving. I think people are aware of auto generated content and the words here ring so empty to me and I feel like it has to be the case for others as well.
Pessimists will get left in the dusts of these machines whose shoulders the optimists ride on.
Hello? Do you have a pulse? LLMs accomplish like 90% of everything I do now so I don’t have to do it…
Explain what this code syntax means…
Explain what this function does…
Write a function to do X…
Respond to my teammates in a Jira ticket explaining why it’s a bad idea to create a repo for every dockerfile…
My teammate responded with X write a rebuttal…
… and the list goes on … like forever
Oh good good good Declan Chidlow… “flick him a follow
> I'm Declan Chidlow, a passionate frontend developer. I like to believe I've got an eye for aesthetics, and I've most definitely got a love for learning. My ultimate aspiration is to create digital experiences that are both functional and visually appealing.
When I'm not bodging together some script or reinventing the wheel, you might find me cruising around on my unicycle. Alternatively, you may find me writing up some form of article for my website, doing some gaming, inadvertently converting an otherwise functional piece of tech into a paperweight, or browsing the crevices of cyberspace. Within this digital domain, I sling scripts, inspect issues, and propose pull requests, so flick me a follow.
I’d say it’s roughly still true it just looks different than a very traditional sense. “Undercutting” happens in different ways now - while some entrepreneurs don’t care to compete in commodity markets and compete in tech since it’s not as messy and scales more easily. In tech people can be sold products for “free” and it’s all about their data. But for commodities for example to start an egg/dairy farm you need land and lots of physical resources. So these days a lot of times instead of competing with the egg farmers or dairy directly, entrepreneurs are making faux eggs/dairy. So instead of a new farm they’ve invented a “new” egg/dairy and so instead of undercutting they’re actually charging more for it since it’s a premium product now and “healthier” or is saving the planet/backed by an expensive mission.
You’re not supposed to say 1984. During that year many harmful things happened to civilians in a city during a conflict and it reminds people of how terrible it was. Instead try to say “decades ago” so that way they don’t know what year your referring to and don’t get reminded of anything specific that happened in the specific year.
Did I miss the hacker news post where “git has already shown its weakness.” ? Someone help me out here.
