It's both; humans and human activity are immanently mutual; humans are for humans.

New comment by Exoristos in "Discovering Cryptographic Weaknesses with Claude"

I suspect that kind of prompt is vestigial of an early LLM marketing strategy. It wants to make the LLM seem like a trainable consciousness.

Hypothesis: Good Jenga players will make good coding-assistant prompters.

From the blog:

> They're still reeling from the Pakistani rape gangs that were left free to terrorize cities like Rotherham and Rochdale for years on end with horror-movie-like scenes of the most despicable, depraved abuse of British girls.

I can see if you feel this was fabricated by the author, you'd have the negative reaction you're having. But this is much-reported, much-discussed fact. Maybe HN needs to read news sources besides HN.

They don't have to be that way.

"Our leaders" also are sometimes persecuted for lying to a federal officer; the past few years there have been more than one high-profile case.

You're begging OP's question.

I'm surprised to note -- if the discussion here is any evidence, then anger and literacy are inversely correlated.

SaaS seems to have largely replaced them. And, needless to say, now LLM.

What is the cultural context for this assertion?

What are the differences between a bribe and a tip, given X cultural milieu?

New comment by Exoristos in "The front end framework for correctness: built on Effect, architected like Elm"

Exoristos — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 22:05:55 +0000

Given their heads, most clients / product owners drift toward not just major reactivity but real-time. A lot of us work for others, under barrages of feature requests, and Effect and other tools (which may seem like overkill) can reveal themselves as a very practical lifeline.

Ask HN: What are your current favorite monitoring and observability solutions?

Exoristos — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 20:53:00 +0000

With so much agent-assisted development going on, I think monitoring what we deploy is more important than ever. What are your favorite solutions, along with any advice you'd give for implementing/using them? I'd personally prefer to hear about non-SaaS solutions, but I realize that may be hard mode.

Older than any of those:
