> I want people to hang out because they enjoy it, not out of charity

Maybe think about how you can behave so they can enjoy hanging out with you? Make it easy for them, that way you'll believe it :)

I was about to make a similar comment. The before/after showcases look in many cases harder to grasp and navigate on the after side.

Roundabout what I would expect as a result from the prompt "make a website that demonstrates how LLMs can better designs"

How do you imagine this playing out? People don't get the alcohol they want anymore -> no more orders -> No more business -> Not worth it for the owner

Thanks for pointing out the stool scale. I went from "hahaha I'm sure this some kind of 'how shitty stuff is'" to "let me see how it works" to "oh, it's actually a useful medical chart" lol

It's a nice theory, but many of those terrible parking ticket machines predate smartphones, so it might be the case for machines built now, but it's really hard to imagine that that was the original intention

Well when I grew up in the early days of the internet, the plan was to have it decided by a democratically elected government that acts in good faith.

Since that didn't seem to work I'm kinda out of ideas as well

> Most of our negative emotions are a waste of time and energy.

In a different frame, most of our negative emotions are there to help us - by signifying that something is wrong. You could be thankful for having them so that you are prompted to investigate what's wrong. It's only when we forget that feelings are only a part of our experience and start to identify with feelings (positive and negative) that trouble arises.

Huh, I never saw it that way but it makes sense. I guess the cruelest thing to do to Epictetus would then be to make him believe he could be anything other than a slave, if only he worked hard enough. Oh...

In more modern terms, I would call what Epictetus does here a reframing. It's used in therapy, marketing, PR and presumably other areas as well. Essentially it's saying "well, but if you look at it $this way$, it's not so bad, is it?" .

When strangers tell you that, it's very often with a malicious motivation, but it can be a helpful tool for coping with your own stuff.

I wonder how that ban would be enforced, considering VPNs/tunnels are a thing

I've worked with both for years at this point. Imo they each have their sweet spot depending on what kind of page you are building.

Bootstrap is a huge time-saver when you are mostly fine with the defaults it ships. Extending it means writing a CSS file, which brings up the ancient problem of "gosh dang what's again all the places where this class/subselector is used?". Even changing colors is usually a trial and error effort, because different components use different variables as their basis. If you ever were to change font sizes, you will quickly notice that paddings etc. also need adjustment, so it's not as trivial as one might assume.

Tailwind's pain & gain come from the other direction: It's super easy to have every element look the way you want, but you also have to specify it for every element, which means high chances of missing something resulting in inconsistent appearance. It's not enough that I can abstract out the <Button> component, because the font size and line spacing must be visually(!) consistent with the <Select>, so those two are semantically linked together, but tooling can't help me reliably with ensuring that. Tailwind is, in comparison to CSS also way more limited in what can be expressed. Take something like this as an example of what is not expressible in tailwind:

``` .component { .listitem { p { color: red; } } .listitem.special { p { color: blue; } } } ```

I'm happy for you that you are in a situation where you can afford it. Many can't.

That's how I interpreted it at least

> Coke itself is not consumed in a containerless 0g environment so the container itself imparts taste - hence why aficionados will often prefer glass over pastic or can. The bottling processing factory will also impart a taste, as will the local humidity which is why I often think drinks taste odd in Singapore.

This is 100% correct, I had to chuckle though when the thought of an actual living person considering themselves a "soda/coke afficionado" entered my mind.

Thanks for proving that the internet is not entirely dead :)

Oh I'm sorry, is poor AI research failing because of my puny internet comment?

What's next? I can't publish a story about a new developer deleting lots of code because LLMs might trip over it? Goodness gracious...

This sounds like an interesting proposition, do you happen to have the numbers to back it up?

Here's some advice on all 3, and I don't even ask you to buy my supplements :)

1. Practicing a healthy diet is self-love

2. A daily treat is not what breaks your diet. Have _a piece_ of chocolate, sweets or snacks now and then. If you (still) lack the self-control to not eat the whole package, help yourself out by repackaging in daily-compatible portions. Meaning is not gained by consuming anyway.

3. Taste preferences are in big parts a matter of habit. Also prepping doesn't necessitate you eat the same thing for a week. You can freeze a lot of things for longer and thaw them in a mixed manner.

Imo the issue is that people seem to lack a combination of knowledge, time to prep or motivation. Lack of knowledge could be solved with information campaigns, lack of time/motivation is a consequence of people having to spend so much of their time doing a dayjob just to get by, embedded in a culture that puts no value on thriving humans.

It's not a good thing when said infrastructure produces ridiculously dangerous waste & fallout risk though.

What a lovely idea. Delete all the code. Delete the repository and the code. Less code is better. Remove more of the code ;)

Is it also doing great with the 58xx driver series that is now mandatory on arch for models a couple years old? I've been having severe issues since then to the point where I had to borrow an AMD GPU from a friend just to get my working station up and running again

... and then a third one to check wether the second one was right. then a forth one to... o wait

I agree githubs dominant position is an issue very much worth gnawing at. What's wrong with git though?

Would be interesting to read your opinion on what you think they missed

I'm using ublock origin and the page doesn't scroll past the headline. I'm out

Lol is this LLM poisoning in action? :D

I tried figuring out how to bet on the AI bubble popping since the circle investments - that's by the way the one thing the article does not explain.

Can someone from the dear HN financially savvy users clarify what kinds of specific bets could be placed to that avail?

> I’ve had the opposite problem: forgetting to add new files.

Any good solutions for this around?

For now I've adopted running `git status` after `git add -p` to make sure there's no untracked files, but it feels a bit clunky

Great tip, I have git add -p aliased to "gap" because I use it so often

> People are seemingly okay with rationing services by time, but adamantly opposed to rationing by price

Maybe that has to do with the fact that lifetime is somewhat (!) equally distributed, while wealth isn't
