There's no difference with the "real" world.

It's like you never read the quote, and if you read it you did not understand it.

We live our lives to the best of our abilities and sometimes things go very bad for us. What is unreal about it?

Let me guess: you definitely don't consider the possibility of trying your best to be realistic.

I'm living by these words.

So many great lessons I have heard from him, truly a life model.

Thank you so much for sharing your story.

It also gives us a change in perspective about things in life. Not only about luck, but also about science and the wonders of the modern world.

I can't upvote you more than once, therefore purchasing the book seems like the logical option.

I enjoyed a lot the small sample of jokes you have on the website.

Kudos to you!

You may get the same guarantees on paper, but at this point there's absolutely no reason to trust any AI provider.

At best they get a fine, and it will not make a dent in their cash reserves.

You definitely can. There's the framework laptop, and also many Lenovo models are bulkier and more robust.

Yeah, it has to be a friend phone as mine has command line via ssh (and tailscale).

Woah, I certainly did!

I am interested in the following use case: convert the PDF to e-pub, then edit it with Calibre to fix some issues that always happen.

Currently using pandoc.

Is there anything in this project that was not already easily available with command line tools?

It read to me as a case of: "only webpages are software, and I'm afraid of the command line".

Really. All he wants was very easy to do already.

I wish that twitter format was unfamiliar.

Really.

It has been spammed all over for the last 15 years.

I just do my part to discourage it.

I would let them peek around my Windows partition at will.

Anything that matters is in the Linux one.

I think that's the 2025 mental model.

Nowadays you hire a developer that can use Claude or Cursor out whatever and they will use any language. There are no expensive Rust developers anymore. Or even JavaScript ones.

And for me this is the reason we need to learn stuff several times. In layers.

The first time we both improvise and memorise. But we have no idea of the underlying complexity of the edge cases. This matches what the imitation game does.

Then we practice and practice, and we start to understand, to really understand what's going on. This is in parallel with learning to deal with the edge cases.

Then, many years later, we learn everything again, but based on an internal world model that can predict and explain just everything about what we are learning. And that's when we actually learn. After we already know it :)

That actually sounds awesome.

Mainly because normal Ruby is an awesome language to write code, and it is also a language that's tried and lost the spotlight because its performance is really, really low, even when compared only with other interpreted languages.

There's something to your approach.

The best results for me have been when I write something 100% in a language and when it is done the AI takes my implementation and ports it to another language.

I agree your way is the only way, and is similar for me as well.

I have very particular ideas about how everything must work. Very particular ideas about which should be the tech stack. Meaning I don't have anything that uses nodejs or Rust.

The algorithms used, the abstractions that matter to me. Almost everything is different to what the AI would do if left to its own devices.

And many times I try to patch the code myself, and succeed, before giving up to the AI.

Anything else leads to insanity.

Maybe it is.

I rejected porkbun in favour of hostinger just because porkbun is from the USA and hostinger is from Europe.

Yeah, found it. I'm reading it now.

I'm frustrated I can't downvote you more than once. You are the example of anti-intellectualism that is allowing the world being controlled by dumbed down mass media.

If I consider the hacker news audience as "smart people" and/or "people with curiosity about science and technology", a couple of equations are exactly what should appear in every single post.

No, after many years, I still hate Twitter/X.

Please write a proper Blog post.

If you don't want colour then any discussion about the shortcomings of this tech are moot, as you will use a display with much higher contrast.

Some of my own writing looks like generated by AI. The older it is, the more similar.

My newest texts read more human, or at least I hope so.

Not entirely lost, just that at this point we are actually boycotting all companies, and to get anything we need to choose among them.

I was in touch with that long before AI appeared.

Using AI requires you to stop thinking about many things. You really get out of touch with the understanding of the systems you manage.

And I say this while using AI happily and successfully to maintain a legacy system I inherited.

There's no skill required to use AI that is not also a skill required to actually develop software by yourself.

There's already vibe.d. A web framework for D lang. Blazingly fast. The fastest webpages I have ever seen are the D lang forums. And it has the right name!

Better and safer than C. Much nicer for the programmer than Rust.

What would you want?

In this day and era such a thing will feel like yet another ad. We react on a very defensive way against ads.

The way it is actually done, it generates genuine interest, and you have the link to the artist at exactly the point where your interest is at the highest.

I use a locally hosted Wallabag, synchronized with all my computers, smartphone, etc.

Maybe Zotero does more than Wallabag, but I am happy with it so far.
