Theft?

That’s well and good, but how are we supposed to evaluate the accuracy of random HN comments without anything resembling somewhat objective metrics? People say all manner of things, and usually it’s contradictory. What heuristic do you propose?

Personally, I’d only meet with those in the triple digits of karma.

TDD is perfect for bugs; codify a replication first, then fix it.

Just leave it at home.

Why wouldn’t inference just keep getting better and cheaper as hardware and algorithms improve?

It's hard for SaaS platforms to monetize, that's what's wrong with it

Interesting. I'm also nearsighted, so I've always assumed that I don't need glasses when wearing VR headsets. It's easier to just take them off before putting on the headset (MQ3) and I've not noticed a difference in clarity — but I do experience eye strain and visual exhaustion if I wear the headset for too long, so it might be worth comparing longer sessions with and without glasses.

Nothing's stopping users who want an AI summary from feeding the content into their favourite GPT. But it's not contributing anything meaningful to a HN discussion.

Is there no way to contest such a warrant? What about compensation for the loss of utility caused by the confiscation?

Yes, as everyone knows, you are only entitled to an opinion about software if you are also a successful business entrepreneur without external funding.

Good type systems increase velocity by leaving less room for error, so that you don't have to waste half your time debugging and fixing issues that could have been easily prevented. They also provide helpful structure and an IDE experience (the right values, functions, actions, etc are actually suggested for you wherever you are) that really does speed up development a lot.

There's of course always a trade-off: bad type systems can get in your way with boilerplate that you have to wrangle. But I don't think that's the typical experience.

What are they going to be watching if you don't restrict them, and what will it do to them? Why not just talk about it with them?
