rafavento··on Ask HN: How to be alone?
Is this really new or you were already alone but distracted with others? It is ok to feel alone. It is natural, and as long as you take the time to learn about yourself and what you really want and need, you'll learn and grow (even enjoy). It won't be your last time, but it gets easier as you get older. Cherish that your only priority is yourself (and your dog. f*k the cat :-p). It won't last.
rafavento··on AIs can't stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations
War games movie? We can’t seem to be able to escape our own predictions.
rafavento··on Resist and Unsubscribe (Scott Galloway)
Wouldn't be more effective for Galloway and his billionaire friends to dump these company's stock, maybe sell $900M each, use whatever money they get from that for good and still be left with $100M+ at the end? I don't like how he is parading himself everywhere like he's part of the solution, when he is actually part of the problem.
rafavento··on After the AI boom: what might we be left with?
Computers have been able to talk and make decisions from the beginning. Maybe you meant mimicking humans?

rafavento··on Ask HN: What's with the repeated job posts on "Who's hiring"?
Smells to me that if you can be patient then you’re not after a need. Companies than can hire, hire because they can and not because they need? Isn’t that what got us into this mess?
rafavento··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2025)
Same jobs posted for the last few months. Are these real or is it really that hard to fill the roles?
rafavento··on My AI skeptic friends are all nuts
There's something that seems to be missing in all these posts and that aligns with my personal experience trying to use AI coding assistants.

I think in code.

To me, having to translate the into natural language for the LLM to translate it back into code makes very little sense.

Am I alone in this camp? What am I missing?

rafavento··on Apple's requirements are about to hit creators and fans on Patreon
This isn't going to hit developers.
rafavento··on Was BASIC that horrible or better?
I find this intriguing. Would you mind to expand?
rafavento··on Ask HN: How to navigate the world as a brain-damaged 17 year old?
You went through a highly traumatic event. Be kind to yourself. What I read in between the lines is that you maybe have too high expectations for someone that experience such a thing recently. You're young and you have plenty of time to recover. Pick the one thing you enjoy the most and focus on that for a while. See if that helps.

Let yourself recover.

You're already asking for help, though HN may not be the ideal venue for this. Try to get into therapy (of whatever kind helps you the most).
