From the HN guidelines:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

>Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

>When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

>Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative.

Europe is also a little off here. Different countries use different layouts across Europe.

> Is there a fully in-browser torrent option that has the same UX as a regular file download in Firefox?

Opera did back in the day.

I was surprised to see that you don’t integrate with Linear which I assumed the name was related to.

I don’t see why China would have an incentive to keep investing in open models long-term. They aren’t doing that for the betterment of society.

Astra flagged my request to look into a security vulnerability into my own(!) code. So I’m not sure.

What are you doing that uses the entire Fable credits so quickly? Genuine question.

>I would way rather have Sol all day every data, consistently, than a slightly better Fable for like, 1 prompt every 5 hours, and only when Anthropic decides to not treat me like a cyber criminal.

I have used Fable heavily on the lower Max plan and you are really exaggerating the limits here. I've had many multi-hour sessions with Fable on Max.

It took many many many turns for me to have the model even acknowledge that the fake elector scheme was actually a thing. It's very much primed to answer vaguely when it goes against the current political ideals of its owner.

Giving people context is gatekeeping now?

One, as bad as it is, has its biggest critics live and speak out freely. The other silences, imprisons or kills them.

Most EU countries have had some sort of payment standard and use different kinds of setups so it’s not as easy as doing it in one jurisdiction. Also the EU generally is quite conservative and slow.

How are you guaranteeing accuracy?

I really didn’t have the feeling that Germans are shocked about some of these inefficiencies at all. Typically they’re just a result of long processes thus difficult to change. I do agree that Germany and the EU as a whole should not make this process so cumbersome. It shouldn’t be easier to found a US foreign LLC from abroad than a company in one’s country or residence. The proposed EU LLC might solve some of those issues if it comes to fruition.

Regarding the economy though, Germany is still the third richest country on earth. I think this talking point about their huge regression is mostly FUD.

Whenever I ask people to explain their issues with NPR it’s some cherry-picked news articles here and there that were somewhat biased. In my experience NPR often tries to be incredibly neutral, almost comically so, when criticizing any administration.

The Netherlands runs around 3000 trains a day vs. 50k in Germany. That doesn't excuse Germany's problems which were also predicted years in advance when they stopped investing in maintenance and infrastructure but also shows that the comparison is not entirely fair.

Flash had many issues for sure, first and foremost security. But I can’t help but feel sad of what was lost since then. The Flash era produced some really unique experiences on the web.

I don’t want to open up that whole can of worms but Grok on any vaguely philosophical or political topic is a scaredy cat and has a very hard time staying factual if it could make Musk or the conservative movement appear negatively.

The first section can be done on a M1 chip, I think the second one needs Triton support, so your 5080 should be fine.

I don’t think the definition is that clear cut at all. A human can remember the smell of something and invoke it right then and there even if only for half a second. Are we expecting an AGI to do the same?

Then again, transformers seem super-human in some ways already. Who do you know who can more or less recite and make associations from (even if not always intelligently) hundreds of billions of text fragments? Transformers already are better at math than your average human.

My bet is we’ll land in a weird place in between where these systems clearly have some superhuman intelligent capabilities but still are far from “do everything better than humans”.

> IMO Every engineer should try spending his time in a company that tries to solve new problems.

Yet typically 95% of software developers mainly work on CRUD-type apps. Coding agents are not perfect there either but they’re really a lot more reliable than they were a few months ago.

Have you checked the Don Hopkins archive yet?

I tried that afterwards in a new session. Asking about the virus itself was fine but as soon as I asked about developing a vaccine, the chat got flagged again.

While I agree with you that agentic coding still has quite a way to go and is not always producing the quality that I would want from it, I can say quite confidently that its baseline is way above some of the production code in many applications many people use today. It really isn’t that code before agents was primarily written with taste and beautiful structure in mind. Your average code base is a messy hell full of quick fixes that turned into all kinds of debt over the years.

If you're traveling via Europe, you could finish US border control in Ireland directly before departure and won't be checked again.

Very much. Try to start a union in China and see how communist that country is. China is essentially a right-wing hypercapitalist country run by a dictatorship.

AI will also just run some query or grep commands against it for the most part and has no magical way of finding connections that a human can’t.

Interestingly, contamination of the forensic equipment was considered early on already. However, due to the geographic area of the findings and initial negative control tests using fresh swabs, they ruled it out.

The way you describe the alternative option seems not very good faith.

So far, the EU's track record on privacy is definitely a lot better though. Not saying it'd always stay that way of course.
