Well, 2) is often a honey pot trap since some projects have no documentation, or only so little documentation that spending time trying to figure out a project is a waste of time. There is a reason why SO got important in the first place. Horrible documentation was one reason.

Yes that was my impression too. SO already died before the rise of AI.

SO died some time ago already though; I'd say even before AI.

I remember that I once asked a question about dual-licencing MIT and GPL 2.0 in the same project. Within an hour or two, it was downvoted to -7. Now this alone is already quite concerning (it was a genuine question), but what was even more annoying was that not a single person who downvoted this, explained as to why. So, if my time investment here for asking a question, gets negative karma without any explanation, and then subsequently no useful answer at all: what is the point of SO? I still answered a few questions here or there, but the whole karma system just discourages contributions and I stopped using it with regards to both asking anything or giving answers.

SO is not useless since some answers still hold useful answers, but they really should have started to fix SO early on. Instead they just gave up.

It is not though. Moderators aren't as crazy on HN as they were on reddit.

The interface is also worse. I preferred old.reddit.com. Hackernews has this weird "you post too much" limitation, which is so annoying.

Reddit meanwhile killed old.reddit.com anyway; logging in defeats the point of using reddit. Things always get worse - and never seem to get better.

We have evidence now that they execute people without a criminal record.

See the execution of Renée Good. Remember how the ICE terrorist deliberately stepped before her car, to try to make a defensive claim aka "had to shoot her to stop her". Meanwhile his other two terrorist buddies were standing NEXT to the car, thus invalidating the lie quite logically. After all, how did two other ICE terrorists manage to not get into that situation that the murderer chose to employ here? So there is a lack of consistency among ICE terrorists.

It is eerily similar to the 1930s era in central Europe.

I would not call it "Anti-Left" though. Fascism should never be confused with having an agenda other than fascism itself, be it Trump's corporate fascism or Putin's neo-Stalinism. All pocket away wealth and power to their cronies.

You are right - Mensch is german for Human.

The name is Arthur Mensch and he comes from France. Odd to have this as last name in France.

Are ships natural enviroment for fish and other marine organisms?

Now we have seen video footage of occupation of the areas there. But one needs to calculate all trade-offs before one can conclude whether downing ships helps improve the environment. I have not read a scientific paper that objectively tries to determine this with all costs and counter-costs.

> You can't really optimize the trial and error feedback loop time.

They can put it onto robots / automatic labs, so this step is easily solvable. Humans in a modern lab are largely unnecessary. Just look at China.

The problem here is that Anthropic claims to have solved this all. It is time that they actually prove their claim. Right now it reads like an advertisement to inflate the stock of Anthropic.

Either Anthropic has solved everything - or it is a promo-hoax.

I won't judge which way, but I am getting tired of the repetitive nature here. Quite frankly, science works in large parts by others (independent) folks investigating any findings. Low quality or fake had been retracted in the past - see https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6... from 2016.

It is time for others to do a more systematic research of anything coming out from Anthropic here.

Trump is going to lose. People are tired of his lies.

The Holy Inquisition was also required to burn witches in the medieval era.

That does not really make it a law though.

A lot of AI content is just wrong - hallucinated lies. Just look at Grok-slop by the right-arm raising billionaire clown. It looks neat on the surface but once you dig in you begin to see more and more errors, thus wasting your time.

Now ... nothing against that, we don't want AI slop to ruin Wikipedia. But Wikipedia also has several internal quality-problems. A lot of content is rarely added to the main article but gets stuck in discussions. I know that because I have used Wikipedia since like +20 years and many of my contributions or suggestions for additions have not been put into the main article. I am not saying all of them should go 1:1 into the main article, of course; I am fine that different people proofread, verify and what not. But some things are easy to verify by others, yet the knowledge never is put into the main article. This is especially frequently happening on articles visited by fewer people. Often I also see a difference between german and english wikipedia; the english wikipedia typically contains more information. Trying to convince the german gatekeepers that the english wikipedia has that info already, does not convince them. It's fascinating.

As a consequence I am much happier using and adding and contributing to the english wikipedia than to the german wikipedia.

Python is no doubt a successful language. But, boy - this level of bureaucracy is annoying to no ends. Do people feel eager to propose a PEP? There are so many more enjoyable things to do in one's short life ...

That is not a good analysis. Both North Korea and Russia claim to be democratic countries - see the name "Democratic People's Republic of Korea".

Great win for democracy. Now the students will have to show that they can do better than Vucic.

This won't be too hard, but there is an economic recession in the whole Euro-zone right now. Overcoming that is a challenge for many countries right now.

I don't think this is universally true.

For instance, I still can play Masters of Orion 1. And simcity, to some extent; but specifically civilization 1.

Whereas those modern games with a 3D engine I can not play. It is always the same game. Just taking away my time.

Claude is everywhere. It literally killed oldschool engineering. I don't even want to interact with people who use Claude anymore.

> the quality of writing on this page sounds like a poorly written middle school research paper.

But that is typical AI quality. It is a fancified Babelfish 2.0 translator.

Some humans also use AI to "interact" with other humans. They don't seem to understand that this is a problem for some humans. When a human AI slops me, I stop all any every further interaction (assuming I can find out that this human did so. It is not always possible to find that out).

The knights did not have to deal with AI back then. It must have been a simpler life.

But now that AI writes everything, should not the question be why AI does not yield perfect software?

Socialist state?

More like that Macron does not stop spending too much. Countries such as Denmark or Canada show how to do better than Macron did.

Censorship.

I am all for eliminating the antisocial media and the billionaires behind them as well, but I fail to see how censorship fixes anything.

Ok but then the question is: why would AI pick two numbers, out of 1 to 25? Should that not be evenly distributed instead? Why is the AI so skewed?

These corporations ruin and sabotage democracy.

Basically with corruption you can control what democracies do. We see this with the orange mafia in charge of the USA right now - even though sometimes it also yields entertainment, indirectly:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvfePoni9eM

All these non US governments have a lot of money in total.

There is also LibreOffice.

Why is that money not used to complement LibreOffice here?

These can be separate repositories. I am sure there are many human developers who would write a ton of useful bridge-code to make things work. And LibreOffice would also be improved.

Are there lobbyists blocking this?

I can't help it - this sounds not that exciting.

Has the world shifted so much in the last years? I remember when I switched to Linux, many years ago, I worked through LFS (Linux from Scratch) within, say, one or two years. Back then that was kind of exciting; since then I expanded my own scripts for compiling or installing things, including versioned AppDirs, which to me are a lot more logical and elegant too. Why would I need or use uv? Does uv even support versioned AppDirs? How about multiple different glibc on the same system (hint: that works though you have to take care of how things are setup; think of an extended NixOS-like system, with guarantees).

uv seems to be hyped a lot and I still do not understand why.

Good. I am tired of vendor-lock-in of a few corporations dominating the world here. Capitalism was never corporate-fascism - after all one element is free competition in a free market. This has been broken numerous times again and again, and the US justice department is deliberately unwilling to remedy this situation - thus also betraying the idea behind capitalism. No wonder since the orange mafia is running the show right now, with all signs of real dementia now being obvious.

Why the attempt to whitewash Google here?

Also, I do not see how it is "reasonable". I find it evil and malicious. They benefit from user's data, get money and don't give anything to those who gave them their data here. That is also selfish from Google.
