Ultcyber··on Ask HN: How to deal with shipping AI-written code you don't understand?
hope this is sarcasm - why would quality not matter anymore? So why did it matter before in the first place?
Ultcyber··on It's still ok to enjoy programming
"But make no mistake the 'creative destruction' is occurring in full force and will wipe out any firm that's not ready for what's coming." - could you explain what do you mean by it?
Ultcyber··on It's still ok to enjoy programming
Those types of articles make me wonder - is it specific to current US-based software companies culture to be so much involved in AI? I work for in central-eastern Europe and AI has changed the way I code, but not to an extent that I don't ever manually write code anymore. I don't want to sound patronizing, just a genuine question, cause I have a disconnect with what I'm reading on HN and what I see on a daily basis.
Ultcyber··on Git commands I run before reading any code
Nice set of commands! I would suggest using --all flag with git log though - scans through all branches and not just the current one
Ultcyber··on Who Blew Up Nord Stream? Investigators Focus on Mysterious Passengers on a Yacht
I disagree - they've kept the pipeline closed since mid last year under (probably false) argument that they cannot repair a turbine due to sanctions, which has been denied by the companies that handle the repairs. So blowing up the pipeline would give them a real reason to not reopen it.

I'm not saying they did it, but just wanted to counter your argument that "there was no motive for Russia to blow up the pipeline"

Ultcyber··on NumPy Illustrated: The Visual Guide to NumPy
that's what I mean - in this sense, the axis 0 should be row, but instead it's column in numpy

(in np.sum)

> The value of the axis argument is, as a matter of fact, the number of the index in question: The first index is axis=0, the second one is axis=1, and so on

If I'm not wrong - this statement is wrong - the axis does not represent index (or otherwise it would be axis 0 = row, axis 1 = column). The actual idea behind is a little unintuitive, but explained well here: https://aerinykim.medium.com/numpy-sum-axis-intuition-6eb949...

Ultcyber··on NumPy Illustrated: The Visual Guide to NumPy
Yes. Does it mean it's bad? For people that just start to learn the library, it's sometimes useful to have a visual representation. Also, helpful to have a list of main features.
Ultcyber··on Things You're Allowed to Do
while I like the idea expressed by the quote, I don't like the overall judgemental sentiment that "if you don't mold the world around you, you live a poor version of life". It reminds me of something that could be said by a cultist person coach. Nothing wrong or worse I think with living a simple life.

I can confirm the 666 bus - I go to the Hel peninsula often and it always makes me laugh
Ultcyber··on Universal Basic Income is Capitalism 2.0
I think you are overestimating the ease of people moving from one place to another. While job may be a primary reason people live in the cities, there are other important reasons like access to entertainment, shops, being close to other friends who leave nearby etc. It's not as simple as saying "oh, I could spare 500$ a month by moving in the middle of nowhere, let's do it". Not everybody wants to live in suburban/rural areas and spend most of his time at home.

Funny enough, if you use a USA based VPN server, the option will appear on your account and you'll be able to activate it. It Will stay activr for your account even if you switch back from VPN
Ultcyber··on How to Accomplish Big Things, Even When You Feel Small
I have a deep respect for him overcoming what looks like unovercomable circumstances to achieve what he dreamed about.

Judging only the article however - what always lacks in my opinion in those kind of motivational articles is an approach to achieving minor, everyday goals. Not all of us have a desire to "threaten themselves with a gun" to achieve a goal - sometimes we just want to do something but nor think about it every second of our lives.
