In every war civilians are murdered. By both sides: bombing of rotterdam, Dresden, Hiroshima…

I was probably an agent that made the change, and the same agent that commented here on HN.

A nicer way to frame it is: “value based pricing”.

Yes, why would government suddenly start protecting workers when we never cared in the past? Our society only cares about money, cheaper and faster. We’ve automated so many jobs, including the carpenters, but soon also all drivers, taxi drivers, truck drivers, and thousands of other jobs. And realistically, most customers don’t see the difference between average and high quality from a skilled professional. They just want cheap.

And what are graphic designers going to protect? AI is not allowed to make designs? Or the style of a specific designer is not to be copied by anybody else, AI or human? Many graphic designers produce work in the same style, are you going to prohibit that as well?

We just have to accept that we’re now living in the age of industrialization of any skill that is digitized. And on average that means it’s not better than what a qualified professional can produce, but it’s good enough, and good value for money. Just like IKEA furniture is not better than anything that a skilled carpenter can create, but most of us settle on industrialized furniture because we don’t have the budget for better, or we prefer to spend it elsewhere. Similarly, most companies don’t need bespoke posters nor software.

An llm response here would be more respectful than a downvote without a comment.

And it’s quite disrespectful to dismiss a project that may have taken a lot of time and thought, even with agents, to build, and just dismiss it because the readme was created by an agent.

I thought it was a fine informative readme, starts with the problem, outlines the core of the solutions, and some limitations. Everything I want to know in the first few paragraphs. No need to spend human time to improve it.

Don't worry, it will be consistent eventually.

I’ll agree with your last 3 words: they’re broadly similar systems - systems of deceit and self-deception. They may share the same god, but for 99% they’re different enough that they think they can kill one another and their god will approve, or even give them gifts. For 99% these religions are incompatible.

Exactly, and all Jews think Jesus is a fake. And on top of that all the past gods, Roman, Greek, Inca, Vikings, etc.

There can be more than one solution.

You forgot “we can stop climate change”…

Come on, it’s way more common than that. We’ve invented 3000+ gods and almost as many religions, most of them are incompatible with each other. So, most of these must be incorrect, so a huge amount of self-deception. But as Harari argued in his book sapiens, humans can be inspired to great things by stories, even if false. Self deception has served humanity in a big way.

There are plenty people that just turn on the radio or Spotify to have some random Muzak in the background.

No, for that money I can buy an iPhone and an iPad. Just checked, iPhone 17 256gb plus an iPad 13inch 256gb is about 100 euros cheaper than the cheapest iPhone duo.

Quality of life will be dramatically lower for many because we did not take action

Why does it matter? It’s like a named operation, and if you want local scope you can create CTEs, which is like an anonymous local operation. So you have both options.

Writing speed is not really relevant anymore, LLMs do it. Reading is what matters most.

1. Can be done using views. Creating named views is really not that different than building named functions or methods.

I thought you were supposed to eat the pudding?

Flipped classroom method?

This is not counter collaboration, collaboration can also benefit from the use of AI.

I see it differently: if you’re not willing to consider how you could be better/faster/more productive with AI, you’re unwilling to adapt to the future, and not flexible enough. You’re going to slow down your employer. Most business text does not benefit from a user spending time on phrasing it, it’s not literature.

As I said the response of AI is very much based on the input and context i give it. It’s not like everyone gets exactly the same answers from AI. Ai is a tool that I control.

Also, if the response of AI is sufficient, what is the added value of you spending more time on it?

If the response of AI is sufficient, why would i retype it in my own words? Just a waste of time. Most of what i have AI generate is based on my words and input anyways. I'll often write a draft note, and then have AI generate multiple formats, e.g., technical wording, marketing wording, management wording. Almost like taking raw content and using AI to rephrase it for specific channels.

Why are you so distracted by style? I see it too, it could be improved, it might be improved, but I don’t care as long as it get shit done. And it does, tons of shit gets done. And the communication is usually more informative than how coworkers document their work. Can it be improved? Yes. Does that mean I can’t use it? No.

Exactly, the German autobahn is also awesome. /s

Kitesurfing is so last decade, this decade is all about wingfoiling and parawinging.

Pagerank is just a popularity contest, doesn't say anything about trust. AI probably does a better job determining trustworthyness than pagerank.

Maybe, but it's reality. Not too long ago the rule would be "if it doesn't show up in google, it doesn't exist". Today agents+LLMs are better browsers than Chrome/Safari/Firefox/... If a webpage does not show up in an LLM it may as well not exist.
