I**Factory existed long before spring came around

Similar story here. Great software

sometimes i wish mercurial won, if nothing else for the fact that i found its ux to be more enjoyable. I respect and use git, but never got comfortable with merging. im thankful AI can automate it for me now

would love to see Volume on the chart

same, blink iOS app + tailscale + mosh

would be cool if it worked with a more powerful language like scala

he said he read it though, and check the last line

Before 2020, vaccines referred to things like attenuated viruses - you were basically being given a small weakened dose of the actual pathogen to prime your immune system. mRNA shots are a different animal and they are quite new.

I have worked extensively with FP and non FP codebases with LLM. I find my highly type safe FP code works really really well with LLMs

sounds like a recipe for over-commenting. The code should be self-documenting. Comments are for the places where there are dragons.

my LLM does this pretty well with my coaching. i use a good model and i encourage it to make such improvements. and since the llm is trained on human maintainers it works fine.

i cant reply to hn_user2, but i have the same experience, i find myself never using emdash where i would have before

> But in the wild the gains shrink to about 3% of your hours

not my experience at all

on what?

The stuff i dreamed of doing but was smart enough to avoid in Java many years ago, is what I now use FP to do on the JVM, in scala, without any of the drawbacks of AOP. if i was stuck in java languiage on the jvm for some reason i could see the appeal of trying AOP now that LLM can assist with it. Thinking of the annoying stuff like setting up automated builds/compiler etc

Great name

Great article, easy to read, and not ai slop! thanks for sharing

yes and the proof was the spam email phoning home to russia. or, whatever other hoaxes they cooked up along the way. strangely most of them didnt make it into the trial where he was acquitted.

we seem to be doing some pretty cool science still. like invented AI

" it may be hard to believe that merely a few decades ago the most convenient way to keep track of time was a mechanical watch." I guess quartz is more convenient if you often take the watch off for more than a day. But my swiss automatics dont need a regular battery change, just a servicing every decade (or longer). I guess there are solar powered quartz watches though.

Or buy a nice Swiss automatic in the 1-2000 range.

homebrew is so nice, thank you for all your effort

But Claude will actually read it

"much of wall street is in a fatalistic mood" yeah the SPY is going vertical, sure sure.

KPI cards, purple gradients

Large codebases are much easier to manage with type safety. Not a fan of Go but definitely much better than python in this regard.

"Voters turn towards fascist leaders when democracy no longer serves workers, Kurz says. “New Deal” reforms during the Great Depression limited monopoly power and provided benefits to the vulnerable. According to Private Power and Democracy’s Decline, these reforms precipitated a “half-century of sustained innovations, rapid economic growth and stable income distribution”. Reagan-era reversals of those reforms led to what Kurz calls the “second Gilded Age”, when technological firms could accumulate monopoly power and wealth while most Americans, especially blue-collar workers without college degrees, saw their wages stagnate as the cost of living rose. It was this economic disenfranchisement, rather than cultural forces, that led to the rise of Maga, according to Kurz."

The MSM has been pushing hard for establishment Rs and most Ds, and tech oligarchs were sinking money in D areas like Zuckerberg in WI in 2020. (A "maga" election, per the articles comment)

I agree that tech oligarchy shouldn't be influencing politics so much, but i dont think this makes Dems or anyone else 'fascist' necessarily.

Call me a skeptic, but it's certainly odd all the errors always lean to one side. Maybe this has to do with the leftward trend of the mainstream press.

> What happened in 2024 isn’t something I’d have scripted, though. Basically, their new election model was literally broken, continuing to show Joe Biden virtually tied with Trump even after his disastrous debate. (Evidently because Morris’s design for it had been overcomplicated. These models are hard to design, by the way.)

Democracy lets you change laws in congress AND elect a new president.

I was delightfully surprised by the positive and reflective attitude taken by this author, I expected the opposite from the title.
