Vanit

Thanks for the heads up on Claude; I attempted something similar with ChatGPT in the early days but was limited to one paragraph at the time, and it kept injecting a lot of repetitive noise like the character constantly looking forward to the challenge ahead.

Sorry for slow reply! I don't know exactly how it works but I believe I'm receiving a feed of articles that reach the front page. I use it so I can consume new stuff without having to manually re-review the actual website myself.

Your reaction is how everyone reacts before their own crypto is stolen.

I don't know how crypto proponents think they can simultaneously wave away this level of fraud but still seek economy-wide adoption.

Literally the only reason I even read HN is because of RSS.

One of my favourite examples of this was the skiing mechanic in the Tribes series.

Please don't use this. I see a lot of engineers, particularly stubborn seniors, who are dabbling in JS want to bring their functional programming gifts from heaven to us lowly JS peasants. In reality it makes the project inscrutable and also makes it might impossible to onboard any JS specialists to the JS project.

Normally I'd agree with you, but the porn industry isn't known for high fidelity with fantasy fulfillment.

The Verge (I think) had some great coverage of the industry in the last year or so that showed that the industry is still a pipe dream and the bodies are regularly mishandled and effectively become unrecoverable (not that we even can guarantee that anyone preserved today will be suitable to be revived in future). For now you can find peace in the fact that all the rich people paying for it are being taken for a ride, beyond the grave.

Really fantastic article. As someone who on a day to day basis is better at (and generally only thinks about) how to solve my employers own problems, it got me thinking about if any ideas I've had in passing might be good enough to look into further.

I just don't see how to do this without half-assing a framework and then it's not really Vanilla anymore is it?

Interesting, seems this implies you could implement enumerable alternative to WeakMaps?

To paraphrase Hank Green, you cease to be a biological organism and become physics.

I don't see a problem at all. You need to bootstrap a UGC platform somehow.

React Server Components remind me of inline PHP with html. Wasn't a good idea then. Not a good idea now.

This is reminding me of similar issues I've had with engineers that have been stuck in the backend bubble too long. They seem to operate in a constraint free environment and it's other devs who have to live with the awkward limitations the backend dev thought "is the right way".

I'm pretty sure these are different uses of the word crypto.

Except when people believe this:

> Then why is the button there? It doesn't make sense for their to be a button that you should never press. I'm not buying it.

I'm of course cheekily quoting you back to yourself, but I'm sure you get the point:)

Genuinely asking, what's an "unwoke" prompt?

The author wrote a thoughtful article attempting to break this down and has humbly popped into the comments to discuss it... Is your direct response really just to cross your arms and say nope? Like, really?

> However, pull requests sacrifice performance, including both delivery time and quality.

No. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

I still don't believe that in the long term it will be tenable to bootstrap LLMs using prompts (or at least via the same vector as your users).

You ask ChatGPT to write that test too (:

This, and I believe this is what Phind does. https://www.phind.com/

Obviously the risk here today is that ChatGPT isn't a trustworthy teacher, but the concept is of course absolutely riveting and obvious to everyone, which is why ChatGPT blew up on the first place. Iron out the kinks and I think it's going to be an incredible asset to humanity (not necessarily this particular LLM).

FYI the autofocus on the API key field was a huge pain due to the Lastpass app (Android); it kept automatically opening the Lastpass app trying to fill it.

For the most part, John de Lancies' young Q in Star Trek Picard was very convincing. We're fast approaching where this tech gets over the uncanny valley.

Yes. Now are you going to respond to the parent's actual content? Seamless remote editing with Emacs GUI is not a thing.

SOMA is fantastic!

Because it's a pain for normies and the UX defense from advocates is "something must be done, this is something, therefore we must do it".

Joe Scott did a video on this last year: https://youtu.be/ISXbTBKl4aE

He's just a science enthusiast, but it touches all the points it needs to.
