They literally say they ran out of money lol how is that privileged?

Yea I used the kinesis 360 for a short time but couldn't stand how cheap it felt. Such a big difference from nicer custom keyboards, and it's essentially the same price which is a shame.

I'm big into the custom mechanical keyboard hobby (not that that makes my opinion special or anything, ha) and I definitely agree. It's funny, cus a lot of people in the hobby see the Model M as their "holy grail" keyboard. But the more modern keyboards are just so much more comfortable to type on for extended periods of time (whether they are 'ergo' keyboards or not). It's all personal preference, but I think a lot of the love for the Model M is just nostalgia.

Interesting, yea I think that makes sense. Well, that's a bummer if that ends up being the case!

Still way better than what many companies do in the US regarding inflation adjustment...

Is there actually a reliable way to differentiate human from bot?

I thought the goal was to only charge agents a fee, which would either 1. stop agents from scraping your site non-stop and eliminate the need for a captcha, making the human experience better or 2. make the owner of the site some money in exchange for a bajillion bots scraping their content.

Maybe that's too optimistic though based on the responses in this thread.

> To gain Godot's level of indie marketshare, a single breakout engine project that embraces vibecoding could be enough.

What are you basing this off of? There are already plenty of game engine projects like what you describe here. Doesn't seem to have affected Godot thus far, unless I'm missing something.

Just read the study... It was not inconclusive, they found that HIIT was the most effective level of exercise intensity to improve body composition in the ages of people that were studied. It just wasn't a meaningful improvement over medium intensity.

That is a conclusion.

> It should be obvious that Daniel's private donation to a political party is not part of Mullvad's values or mission

Why should this be obvious? I don't think that's obvious at all. The owner of a company could very easily decide to one day use their company to further their political beliefs/ideologies (see: Twitter, FaceBook, etc..). Why would Mullvad be any different?

Yea I find a lot of stories on the web about doctors misdiagnosing things to have oddities like this that don't seem to make sense. It often seems like the author is leaving something out. Not saying OP is lying, but tb is a very, very weird conclusion to come to from just one radiology report...

Until the chinese make a comparable open source model at some point

Think theyre just implying that the quoted text comes off as a bit pretentious..

Oof that would be hilarious/tragic

Or maybe people just have bills to pay and/or want to support their families. A little critical thinking and empathy goes a long way...

You sure about that? The average person couldn't care less about privacy and would gladly hand over a significant amount of data to whatever company asks. The sentiment on hacker news isn't the norm.

Even 40% of those numbers is higher than average though which is insane...

My understanding is that WhatsApp is also very heavily used in many countries.

Yea I was going to ask the same question about "thoughtful frontier labs". Not sure that's really a thing unless we're talking about being thoughtful of accumulating wealth and power for a small handful of people.

Hm maybe I was sheltered or something but I was definitely not reading what industry leaders were saying when I was under 13. I don't think I really even knew who industry leaders were at that time...

I agree it's not the most pleasant site to visit. I understand peoples desire to move the web back towards simplicity/html only with no js. But a little bit of css does not hurt and would make simple sites like this a lot more enjoyable to look at. Just my opinion..

Generating things and going through the process of learning how it works and making it from scratch are very, very different. The feeling each leaves you with are also very different. If the only thing you care about is output, then yea maybe generating a bunch of stuff feels great, but if you care about the process, learning, and discovery, just prompting an llm doesn't feel great.

What gate is being kept by a guy writing an article about something they are passionate about? This is such a "hackernews type comment" and it's so weird. If someone reads this article about a dude who talks about how growing up with computers formed his personality and how he was into computers before they were cool and decides "welp, guess I can't do computers now", they probably weren't going to get very far with computers regardless.

There's no gate being kept here. It's just someone talking about something they are passionate about and then expressing their opinion about current technology. They're not stopping anyone from also loving the computer. If anything, I could see someone reading this and being MORE excited to get into computing.

Why do you suppose that? Did she say that?

> Should investors give funding to people who haven't built anything, whose startups don't have any users, who had bad test scores and did poorly in school, and who have no references? If you think so, why? And how is that fair?

This is very obviously not what the person you responded to was saying. It's so far off that it's hard to believe you are even arguing in good faith anymore...

The point is if "coding is solved" was true, there would not be any unresolved bugs.

> A lot of you don't want to hear it but this is a user issue.

Hmm people say this all the time in these discussions but idk if I buy that it's really a "user issue". It's really, really not hard to "use" agentic ai. It literally involves instructing an llm to do things in natural language. Anyone who knows how to code and speak a language can do this. As you yourself seem to believe, even people who don't know how to code can do this. I just don't think it's possible that THAT many people are having an issue typing some words to instruct an llm to write some code. Maybe the issue is more the type of software you are working on vs the type of software that other people are working on. I don't know, I just don't think "skill issue" is really a valid argument here...

Edit: for the record, I think what Opus can produce is extremely impressive. But I still am not really close to letting write 100% of code I write. And I think that is true for a lot of people, not just me. It still generates (sometimes obvious) bugs. Until that stops, the statement "coding is solved" is objectively false, which (I think?) is largely the point of the video.

> in some cases they even store the contents of messages

I hadn't heard this before. Doesn't that kind of defeat the entire purpose of using the app?

> I believe it was Blink-182 who said, "Work sucks". You have to pay people to do that stuff; they don't want to be there.

Believe it or not, some people actually do enjoy their jobs and work they do.

> I get that you might have a 'UBI/alternative general welfare is impossible' up your sleeve, but you've written this like it's somehow unfathomable that not forcing everybody to work just to survive would be a good thing.

UBI absolutely is unfathomable here (US). The USG won't even give people health care. People go bankrupt to afford life saving care on a regular basis. Or just die... Even if those cases are a minority, just the fact that it happens says a lot. So I do think it is unfathomable that UBI would be implemented here. I don't think that's unreasonable to say.

> And let's please not have any lazy, low-effort replies claiming that AI will somehow magically eliminate all jobs for humans.

This is essentially what a handful of c-suite execs have been telling the world for the past 2-3 years is it not?
