Its puzzle solving. For a lot of people, that _is_ the fun part.

But some would argue that reducing the amount of resources and power available to someone who has immense amounts of both and is causing great harm to society as a whole - is ethical.

> So when they finally passed, one year from each others, I was surprised to not feel that much sadness anymore. More relived that they didn't have to suffer anymore. In a way, they were already "gone" years prior to their bodies passing away.

This is how I felt when my mother passed away. Admittedly, I broke down pretty bad at her funeral - but overall, I was glad she was finally free of the suffering.

> That’s why it succeeded. It was not a forum, it was something new.

And _then_ it became so much more hostile to users - and lost a lot of what made it so wonderful. It became very common that asking a new, good question would be marked as a duplicate because there was something it wasn't a duplicate of.

Discord is a mediocre chat medium - I don't mind using it, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

But people use it to store all information about some games - effectively replacing a wiki. And it is AWFUL for that. Everything about Discord makes it bad for that

- Can't be found in search engines

- Abysmal search functionality

- Abysmal discoverability

> Can an LLM catch some errors? Absolutely. Can it be trusted to be correct absent review of the output?

And the person that wrote the code is expected to be the review.

Unless it's an automated pipeline that fixes the things found - I'm not a fan of that unless it's made VERY clear the LLM needs to be VERY sure it's right. And even then, I'd prefer it go through a human to decide which things are valid, then send them off to be fixed.

I don't have a problem with reading LLM feedback on my code, to check if there's anything it pointed out that's valid. Sometimes it points out things that aren't valid, and I ignore it. Sometimes it points out things that are valid, and I change it.

I don't feel the need to make someone else read the LLM output first just to do an inferior job than what I would do (since I know the code and can more easily identify what is valid vs what isn't).

I don't think that contradicts what the person you were replying to said. Specifically, they said break it up or make it public. If there is no option to break it up, then making it public is the only option.

Beating someone with a stick isn't the only way to cause harm. And if you cause harm to 40 million people, you should be held accountable - it should be treated as a crime.

Depends on the usage.

- Its favorite color is blue. The ball is its

- Her favorite color is blue. The ball is hers

Which - just adds to the inconsistency.

> I don’t need to see why you feel the desperate need to larp as a technologist when you’re happy with letting an agent solve all the technical problems.

This is a false comparison. Agents cannot solve all the technical problems, so the entire statement falls apart.

My first thought was that kiki would be spicy.

Indeed, it's pretty much the opposite of "logic and precision"

Every point in that post has been discussed at length other places, some of which is in the HN thread the author mentions. And the discussions make it clear that the points being made are not seeing the problem - not that there isn't a problem.

Passkeys have benefits - but they also have problems. Many people just don't think the benefits are worth the problems. And many people are afraid that sites will just stop accepting passwords in favor of passkeys, leaving people worse off.

> Even before the internet, a determined person could learn about anything at a library. It's been a long time since a university has been strictly necessary for that

That completely overlooks some things

- Most people are _not_ that determined and need something to help them stay focused and committed to your goals.

- Learning the material is only one part - having someone guide you through _what_ to learn is very beneficial

- Taking time off life (work, etc) in order to do that learning isn't that easy. "Going to college" is a lot easier to explain/fund then "taking some me time for 3 years"
