an_guy··on Redesigning source control at Anthropic
Not the same though, equivalent would be a tool, rented from Milwaukee, that does all the work with minimal input from contractor .
an_guy··on US and Iran announce deal to end military operations
Well Obama gave $3 billion dollars in cash to Iran. Atleast he didn't do that, right? RIGHT???
an_guy··on Israel is running critically low on interceptors, US officials say
They used the same reasoning idf used to * kill Palestinians using autonomous mounted guns, * illegally take over houses of Palestinians, rape people while raiding looting thier house(pardoned by court later on) * kill civilians without oversight.
an_guy··on Israel is running critically low on interceptors, US officials say
I guess we collectively forgot how idf used to kill Palestinians using autonomous mounted guns, illegally take over houses of Palestinians, rape people while raiding looting thier house(pardoned by court later on) and kill civilians without oversight.
an_guy··on Israel is running critically low on interceptors, US officials say
> It is a fact that the number of ballistic missiles Iran is capable of launching had fallen sharply

Yesterday night, Iran was able to hit multiple targets in Tel Aviv including rail infrastructure, a factory and a few buildings. They reportedly launched around 300 missiles almost on par with what they launched in Feb but with more direct hits.

> Therefore even in the unlikely event of an Israeli interceptor crisis, the situation is rather favorable to Israel

Most of the missiles were destroyed by interceptors. If they run out, we will be looking at huge casualties and infra damage within few days.

an_guy··on Wired headphone sales are exploding
> interoperates with other products that don't exist yet.

Are you claiming no other wireless earphones exist other than apples'??

an_guy··on US- and Greek-owned tankers ablaze after Iran claims 'underwater drone' strike
"If Iran has missiles why would they boast about it and invite attacks upon that weapon and its deployment systems?"

See how that doesn't make any sense?

an_guy··on Will Claude Code ruin our team?
What I have observed is, if you don't know what the issue is, llm would usually suggest something that is unnecessarily complex and not ideal.

It might work but the moment something fails, llm suggest hacks instead of solution.

an_guy··on Iran War Cost Tracker
US and Israel killed more civilians in war last year than Iran in decades. So by that logic, US and Israeli terrorists must be terminated?
an_guy··on People Loved the Dot-Com Boom. The A.I. Boom, Not So Much

Until chatgpt integrate ads into their results

an_guy··on In Tehran
Did you miss the part where they were not able to verify any of these claims?
an_guy··on Show HN: Why write code if the LLM can just do the thing? (web app experiment)
Bank tellers are deterministic though. They have a set protocol for each cases and escalate unknown cases to a more deterministic point of contact.

It will be difficult to incorporate relative access or restrictions to features with respect to users current/known state or actions. Might as well write the entire web app at that point.

an_guy··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
Why would I? Does it offer something that standard python tools doesn't? Why uv over, lets say, conda?
an_guy··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
All these comments look like advertisement. "uv is better than python!!", "8/10 programmers recommend uv", "I was a terrible programmer before but uv changed my life!!", "uv is fast!!!"
an_guy··on KDE Connect: Enabling communication between all your devices
Are you sure it wasn't your wireless earphones that pause/resumed youtube
an_guy··on Computer fraud laws used to prosecute leaking air crash footage to CNN
Ok and? CNN acquired the video and reported on it. They didn't hide or destroy it.
an_guy··on Computer fraud laws used to prosecute leaking air crash footage to CNN
A lot of views from general population rather than being buried.

Are you suggesting such incidents should not be reported on or captured?

an_guy··on Judge rejects Meta's claim that torrenting is “irrelevant” in AI copyright case
> Leeching does not automatically mean its not fair use, just that it might be.

What do you mean by might be? It either yes or no.

an_guy··on Congestion pricing in Manhattan is a predictable success
> There is plenty of parking at NJTransit, Metro-North and LIRR hubs outside the congestion zone.

Once again this assumes the destination is close to train station.

an_guy··on Our sister died because of our mum's cancer conspiracy theories, say brothers
Why is it that whenever someone shares anecdotal evidence of their friend or family member being affected by a vaccine, the first response is mocking them for being against the medicine?

Suppose a commonly used drug caused severe reaction among a fringe group of people, you don't mock those people and call them anti-vax/unlucky. The pharma responsible for drug should look into the case and come up with guidelines for usage.

an_guy··on Microsoft suspended the email account of an ICC prosecutor at The Hague
> The pro-Israel lobby has spent roughly 10-15M per year... This is hardly enough to offset the billions of dollars spent in U.S. politics

Those $10-15 mil are given to politicians and the billions are spent from US tax payers money.

> For this to be true it would also require Israel to "buy" presidents who acted against Israel's interests

You might want to look into campaign contributions made by AIPAC and similar isreli institutions to these presidents.

> Most (75-90%) of U.S. Federal military aid to Israel is contingent on Israel buying from American companies.

Which effectively makes these weapons free for Israel. US is literally funding Israeli army.

an_guy··on Congestion pricing in Manhattan is a predictable success
$10-15/per day adds up real quick especially for people who travels to work daily.

> If you’re poor you’ll use your brain and pay the $2.95 to ride the train

I hope you do understand this is only viable for people who live or travel near train stations.

Anyone who live far from rail network would have to rely on bus/cab/ride-share to complete their journey and end up spending almost as much as one would on a car but without the flexibility.

an_guy··on How to live on $432 a month in America
> the cost of moving to the place in the first place, social connections, health (even worse for those with disabilities), emergency services, retirement, etc etc

Anyone moving to bay area for a higher income job would have most of these issues.

A forum full of people willing to migrate for better income and lifestyle should not be criticizing "cost of moving", "social connections", "health disabilities" and "retirement".

an_guy··on Yann LeCun, Pioneer of AI, Thinks Today's LLM's Are Nearly Obsolete
I cannot see any major use case apart from code generation and autocompletion. Maybe summarizing text and learning new things but that can be achieved by any search engine.

A good search engine could probably take over llm.

an_guy··on Ask HN: Is Cursor deleting working code for you too or is it just me?
How do you deal with LLM hallucinating api parameter or endpoints or using imaginary library?
an_guy··on US stops sharing intelligence on Russia with Ukraine
I love how all these European politicians wants US to send more money and weapons to Ukraine while thier own individual contributions are significantly lower.

If they want to fight so bad, why not spend more % of their own gdp, especially French and Germany who are close to the situation.

> Germany's Merz seems to know whats going on, but is still trying to be veeeery diplomatic about it.

They literally have no other option. If they could continue war on thier own, they won't be "trying to be veeeery diplomatic about it"
