But we didn't lose it - it's right here, and if this one goes down you can make your own with 2 hours of an Opus 5.5 subscription. Honestly, I whipped up something similar to this the other day for Arxiv papers.

I don't understand the motivation to reattribute the death of SO to anything other than AI, which it unquestionably was. GPT-3.5 was able to answer some small chunk of my programming questions (like 10-20% of them), which seems clearly reflected in the graph.

Maybe just imagine what one might think? How would you feel if you hadn't eaten breakfast?

Do you think that Super Mario Odyssey is better than Super Mario Bros for the NES? Is Breath of the Wild better than the Legend of Zelda? I mean -- take off your nostalgia-covered glasses and imagine if you handed them both to a kid who had seen neither which one they might be more interested in. Why do you think that is?

It's incredibly easy for new engineers to pick up. On the spectrum between "features easy for beginners but nightmarish for experienced engineers" and "features complex for beginners but great for experienced engineers" it always makes the tradeoff for the former.

Genuinely incredible comment to see on hacker news.

Because they legally do?

Wasting time is not theft. If it was there’d be a massive class action lawsuit on the DMV.

How are ads "stealing dollars" from you lol? It's entirely within Disney's rights to put ads on their streaming service. Maybe you don't like ads, but that's pretty far from them stealing money from you.

I responded directly to your point. How do we kill the industry without international cooperation, and what is your plan there?

Ok, so the plan is to stop z.ai, DeepSeek, and all other non-American labs from developing models entirely, full stop? How do you plan to enact this large scale system of international coordination? Asking politely?

How do you plan to solve z.ai distilling Anthoropic’s model into a cyber-capable open source GLM-5.5?

As I already stated, it's only against your personal interpretation of the rules -- an interpretation that has curiously few other subscribers. Saying "the community guidelines mean what I want them to mean, now stop talking" is not a way to argue your point.

I mean I’m kind of curious why you left this comment about WASM decomp, which is about as malware safe as one could possibly get!
