<p>Can it be dangerous to use uv as it can cause mutations in pathogens potentially making them evolve even faster?<p>I assume the kind of uv used must be fatal, but is there a chance that a tiny percentage makes it?</p>

<p>Definitely, but maybe that lets me see clear that is not that 'spotify killed the thrill of the hunt ' but rather 'i miss the old times', which wouldn't get as voted in HN.<p>In other words, clickbait title, not an interesting conversation topic.</p>

<p>Bad take, the more accessible is something to find, the easier it is for people to listen to it. And I think if you do music, you want as much ears listening to your tunes.<p>This romanticizes logistical issues for nostalgia purposes.<p>I did not live through that era, but his description makes me thankful i didn't have to go through all that to find my favorite music</p>

<p>I can second this. The app basically shows more of what is proven to keep you in the app. It's kinda revealing to be frank: instead of getting mad with it just do some introspection.</p>

<p>Spanish is such a blessing as mispronouncing a word rarely changes the meaning.<p>Whereas in Chinese or to a lesser degree English, you have to very mindful on how you pronounce stuff.<p>As a native Spanish speaker the thing I dread the most is grammar and the absurd amount of verbal times there are. Even native speakers don't speak with perfect grammar.</p>

<p>What does not get used, atrophies.<p>Critical thinking, forming ideas, writing, etc, those are too stuff that can atrophy if not used.<p>For example, a lot of people can't locate themselves without a GPS today.<p>To be frank I see it really similar to our muscles: don't want to lose it? Use it. Whether that is learning a language, playing an instrument or the task llms perform.</p>

<p>I think this explains something of our human nature that we would not even know we have: It is coded within us to help people in need as we can very well be there at any future moment.<p>Just think about it, we are a social species and without this type of behaviors it makes no sense for individuals to stay together. It is a strategy of our genes to keep successfully replicating.<p>But even so, I agree with the author there is something really spiritual about this: deeply contradictory but firmly rooted in our nature.</p>

<p>Just an open thought, what if most improvement we are seeing is not mostly due to LLM improvements but to context management and better prompting?<p>Ofc the reality is a mix of both, but really curious on what contributes more.<p>Probably just using cursor with old models (eww) can yield a quick response.</p>

<p>Lovely read.<p>Just a curious question if the authors or any maintainers read this comment:<p>Does this bug fix break the functionality of re-connecting the client? Or how would the client know they need to use the same port as the previous session?<p>(My understanding is that a new client coming from the same IP and different port will now be treated as a new player instead of a reconnect)</p>

<p>Ad verecundiam. One does not need to be in a institution to come up with interesting observations/ results.<p>To be frank the reason that make me question it the most is how repetitive the redaction is. Seems LLM-like.<p>However, that's not a valid reason to discard an interesting result.</p>

<p>I'm a little bit skeptical but i dont have any objective argument or experience in the field to justify it. I didn't want to post it, but I was surprised that almost no one in the hn comments had the same feeling.<p>Don't get me wrong, I would love this finding to be replicable, it would be pivotal as what other nerves could we stimulate to change perception (think pain, mental health issues, loss of senses).<p>Also, I wonder if this could take us closer to understand a little bit more of how the brain works. Like this could be a great way for normalizing 'inputs' and see how different brains react to it.<p>Very very exciting news, but I will hold on my hype until someone else can replicate this result.</p>

<p>Sometimes the simplest of experiments/observations can lead to useful results: You can't do science without challenging your beliefs.<p>And while this result isn't extraordinary, it definitely creates knowledge and could close the gap to more interesting observations.</p>

<p>Not ultra experienced with react, but I have shot myself in the foot just because the way react is made compared to other frameworks:<p>- infinite loop due to re-rendering on the render function (it happens every single time i come back to react)
- using useEffect when not required
- nested object updates (dunno if this is still an issue)
- class vs whatever the name is (className?)<p>Overall as another comment said I feel more fighting against react pitfalls than focusing on my application's logic. That really takes a toll in productivity as part of your brain loses a small portion of 'RAM'/cognitive load as you need to make an active effort to not shoot yourself in the foot. I guess most people get used to it, but for me it just never clicks knowing there are similarly performant frameworks with way more friendly APIs.</p>

<p>IMO the mistake was not knowing what he was doing. He basically (at a macro scale) copy-pasted stack overflow code without understanding what it does... We've all been there.<p>I don't think LLMs are at blame here, it is a tool and it can be used poorly. However, I do wonder what's the long term effects on someone who uses them to work on things they are knowledgeable about. Unfortunately this is not explored in the article.</p>
