I’ve had a similar experience with optometrists. I have a family history of age-related macular degeneration, so paying attention to my retinas is pretty important while I’m young (so they say).

I went to an eye doctor who told me I had macular drusen (after doing the cool computerized retinal image thingy they upsold me), an early sign of the disease. He told me one day they’d likely cause problems, and referred me to a retinal specialist.

The retinal specialist dilated my pupils and looked at my retinas with her eyes and tools, and said she saw nothing. She said the camera system can often cause nerve tissue to look shiny, and look like drusen, but that I was completely clear.

Then, the next year, I go to a new optometrist who looks at my retinas again, and says “the retinal specialist is definitely wrong. you’ve got them. I’m 100% sure.”

So that’s cool.

worth remembering hacker news cannot “realize” things.

Yeah, there is a level of organizational trust that is required to use this tool (as with any system that allows distributing access via service accounts).

We do signal to Claude that there's a difference between a conversation's initiator versus incoming participants and we've found that in situations where people disagree on an approach, Claude patiently waits for a resolution while correcting any misunderstandings.

It's also worth mentioning that since Claude has its own identity, a coworker cannot enter a thread and commandeer _your_ identity; you collectively steer how Claude acts with its _own_ identity (it opens PRs as itself, browses Datadog as itself, etc).

there is certainly code that sucks; but the article strikes me as someone conflating "code that sucks" with "code that is complex and big and takes a while to get used to".

I have found that a lot of the "massive amounts of bad code" left behind by "rockstar developers" is actually just a long slow drip of added complexity in the face of changing requirements. and I find that people think they're "refactoring the code for readability" when a lot of times, they are actually just "rewriting the code and therefore understanding it in that process".

automated war machines are plenty to stop an angry mob imo.

Well said. I think a more honest article would’ve been if the author just said “they aren’t conscious because that feels kinda weird and crazy, amirite?”

But in this "Elysium"-like scenario, that same class would have automated protection in place that makes them ~untouchable and capable of keeping the rest of humanity incapable of pushing back.

wow, I've been wanting a "PCB design system" like this for such a long time. I've always found it stupidly hard to just take an existing working board and tweak it.

worth noting that silver macbooks are also anodized aluminum, so you'll also be filing off anodization

I'm always afraid of the day Logitech takes this away. Somebody should try to make an open source deploy of this too.

I've been pretty happy with my ASUS ProArt PA32QCV (32", 6k, but only 60Hz). Kinda infuriating that Apple doesn't let you adjust third-party monitor brightness though (and my work disallows apps like BetterDisplay).

It's not black and white. There is an entire spectrum of completely justifiable and extremely questionable uses of military power by the US.
