I often wonder if it's possible to organize to have people collude to refuse any price above breakeven.

I became a good engineer by answering questions on StackOverflow, and I'm upset that this form of mentorship evaporating.

- I learned to communicate answers crisply to others

- I saw what made software hard to grok which helped me write better software

- I intentionally answered questions I did not know the answer to from the outset to push me to learn

I grew tremendously by helping others, and things look pretty bleak if we all become glued to token streams instead.

Can we add guest post to the title? A lot of people here are attributing this to him incorrectly.

You can tell it not to do this?

> You can get to the wiki contents in a single click from anywhere in the repo There is no 2.

2. Non-technical people can work with tools they know.

3. You may not want to deal with pull, push, merge for every edit.

4. You may not want to deal with PRs for every edit.

5. Setting up `/docs` takes work. Wikis are just there.

Mintlify and others turned this sort of convenience into a business.

While I'm excited for more entrants in this space. It's depressing that there's no way to measure how much effort was put in a piece of software.

The distrust I feel for "Show HN" posts is depressing.

I know this will sound absurd, but in the good old days, even the claim of having built something indicated quality. This hubris is not limited to the front page, I've experience new products from well establish companies that are horseshit because they vibe code without doing any real QA or UX polish.

The convergence of claim with product as opposed vaporware is toxic.

Maybe to signal the opposite. I've started using double dashes ever since LLMs stole my favorite symbol.

Why do we hope to use the same model as its own guardrail?

This approach routinely fails with a single stream of consciousness. I can't count the number of times I've had to talk myself out of doing something stupid.

In the same way, a guardrail could inject thoughts like "...but I shouldn't do that..." "...I must remember to respect..." "...these ants deserve compassion."

The guardrail could even go as far as rewriting the thoughts of a model about to go rogue.

Humor me and suspend disbelief.

If these models are such an existential threat to humanity, why are they controlled by two private companies?

We might as well give Anthropic our nukes too.

This has been a thing well before chat.com even among engineers at our company.

Chat Gee Pee Tee is a mouthful.

An open model is not your brain.

I hope everyone recognizes they aim to make you dependent on their intelligence rather than your own.

The issue is relying on an LLM to perform accurate OCR and then using it to interpret art.

Tooling my ass. They can see all the transcripts in realtime and could easily have had another agent evaluate.

Is it just me our does it seem like OpenAI isn't auditing their agent transcripts at all?

I have neuroplasticity, and I am aligned. ;)

None of these LLMs are plastic. They lack neurodiversity. Their thought space and their traversal are likely constrained in someway that humanity's isn't as a collective.

I find it hard to believe that enough people would flock to from Claude and Chat to Grok to cause an outage. I feel like Gemini is the dominant release valve in this case especially for enterprise.

I just picked up this as a dev board which has an RPi mcu attached and supports Diligent pmods:

https://tinyvision.ai/products/raspberry-pi-pico-2-developme...

I haven't dug deep but I burned through 30% of my weekly usage in a few hours which shocked me at first.

Package managers are often out of date.

Under the current state of affairs, copyleft material can be laundered through LLMs without triggering proprietary weights from becoming open.

Something feels broken.

Why doesn't Ubuntu fit the bill? You can even install hombrew on it. Everything works like a mac with no fuss.

Also the only reason I left Linux was due to hardware. Ubuntu was convenient enough.

Accessibility != Keyboard

Power user experience is not the same across disciplines either.

God forbid I should ever be forced to use Blender or Inkscape with only buttons.

The problem is that psychiatry is an absolute zoo. Ive heard that if you go to 10 doctors you'll get 10 different opinions based on the docs personal experience.

Even if there are trials for these medications, the field is not quantitative in practice. "Standard of care" is a myth.

I was trying to avoid editorializing by just stating facts that demonstrate the process is beyond some issue of reigning in lower courts and is instead leveraged by politicians to achieve their goals.

I can also editorialize.

In my view, Trump is leveraging the shadow docket to get decisions over turned by members of his own party who don't need to provide detailed (or any) explanations as to why or information about who voted for what.

Bush and Obama filed 8 emergency applications across their presidencies (16 years.)

The first Trump admin filed 41.

Biden filed 19.

The second Trump admin filed 32 in 2025 alone.

PhD was a joke.

My intuition is that Claude is trained to communicate to itself while coding. You see this in how bizarrely granular it is when explanation prior work, you also see this in the comments it leaves behinds.

While Claude's style is obnoxious, I'm more frustrated by its inscrutable explanations.

You need a PhD to understand its explanation of a code snippet.
