glad I wasn't the only one. every other sentence had antithesis, it was exhausting to read even if accurate

So does this mean no Lodash 5?

Cool branding, but I'm not sure how it's different from the products offered by big lab providers aside from being private — and if the compute runs in their cloud, then it's always a "just trust me" promise

false equivalence

Sure but my father isn't asking his fellow humans unanswerable questions about God and the universe. People don't treat other people as omnipotent, but they sure as hell treat LLMs as though they are.

well actually since 1 == 0.999999… and 98.82 is 98.91999999… there are an infinite number of 9s

This is cool, just don't let Rob Pike see this, he will have a conniption. Glad you called out that it shouldn't be used because this is about the most magical thing I have ever seen in Go

There is a popular postgres client for Go called pgx. This naming will likely sow confusion

Now, do one about neurodivergent brains and confirmation bias

psa, "is comprised of" is almost never correct. "comprises" means "is composed of". so when people say X is comprised of Y they really mean "X comprises Y" or "X is composed of Y"

This is exactly why BYD is and should continue to be banned in the US. It’s not that they are doing this, but that they have done it and they have the capability

their chatkit demo (chatkit.world) doesn't even work in safari. also "react bindings" and "vanilla js" isn't exactly "framework-agnostic". I don't like the idea of embedding someone else's UI in my app. This seems like an overly generalized solution for a specific set of problems.

LLM improvement is a sigmoid, not a parabola. The sooner we understand this, the less money we will lose to deceptive marketing

Isn't this what Unwrap() is for? errors.Is calls Unwrap if it's available and then compares _that_ error.

I mean you could just Venmo him

if frameworks are specifications, then a new framework is definitionally a new standard. it’s not an ISO or ANSI standard. but the point of the comic is, there are 10 web frameworks, we need one to be the best of all of them! there are 11 frameworks.

but they're not doing here it at home, of course. that would be silly

i’m gonna anthropomorphize it

ben thompson and ryan kernighan and bob pike would be proud

racism is bad business. the market deals with it in the following ways: - the competent people who are being discriminated against leave and go to places where they aren’t discriminated - people in protected classes sue for discrimination - companies that don’t discriminate get a reputation as such and attract the best - companies that keep discriminating keep losing talent and getting hit with lawsuits

what else could you possibly need to show that racism is bad business? that racists get what’s coming to them in the long term?

might have to put a green dot on a hat or tshirt and try this irl

6 year customer cycles are not recurring revenue. they want your money monthly and annually

HN is not a feed of pharmaceutical ads. HN is a place where industry experts in many industries exchange projects and news in _their_ language. HN is going to be a difficult place to live if you are unwilling to google or chatgpt for things you don't understand. Most of us are here explicitly to discover things we've never seen before – there are other places on the web to have everything spelled out

lodash is extremely common knowledge in the js/web world. you’re asking a chemist to explain atoms before sharing their big discovery

I made twitter post 3 or 4 years ago making fun of Lodash team for _still_ not shipping loadash 5 and they didn't like it very much. They started working on Lodash 5 in like 2015 and it still hasn't shipped. Guess we make our own now
