Strange, that they didn't provide a link to an LLM subreddit or the right place, where to discuss LLMs ...

I star repos as bookmarks. Don't know if there is another feature for that

Fine to read a fellow countryman on HN :) "Dere!" I have disabled my coding agent by default. I first try to think, plan, code something myself and only when I get stuck or the code gets repetitive, only then I tell him to do the stuff. But I get what you are saying, and I agree ... I am clearly pro human on this debate, and the low bloat trash everywhere is annoying. I have come to the conclusion - if you find docs on something, and it is plain HTML - it will be probably of high quality. If you find docs with a flashy, dynamic, effectful and unnecessary 100mb js booboo, then you what you are about to read ...

Why not code it yourself - fitting you personal needs (if there is no market for that)?

Ask HN: Does the World need more software?

Vektorceraptor — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 21:08:53 +0000

Is there a (natural) demand for more and more software?

Still getting MSN widget displayed, even though I turned it off. The best was - the unremovable desktop icon for the desktop wallpapers! That's what people who love a clean desktop always wanted for.

New comment by Vektorceraptor in "Should hack-back be legal?"

Hi, if you are still interested - I updated the post/paragraph and included:

Another approach would be not to make the files 1 TB in size, but only about 50 MB, while distributing them collectively. This would spread responsibility across many participants and reduce the individual burden of liability. If many users offered such files, automated scanners or bots would effectively end up cluttering themselves with useless data, without any single participant impacting the system to a degree that could be framed as deliberate destruction. [...] A possible safeguard for legitimate scanners would be to operate only within defined time limits or request quotas. In contrast, uncontrolled or unrestricted scanners would gradually overwhelm themselves with this distributed noise.

You are right. I am not satisfied with this sentence myself and will revise it. In its current form it sounds contradictory and nonsensical. However, I have not yet been able to identify a reliable demarcation criterion...

Keep your bad news to yourself. The amount of neuroticism in science is unbearable

If you can't take an insult - then you are an NPC

My brain reads “No science, no startups” — alarm bells. This kind of mono-causal oversimplification can only be anti-Trump clickbait — I ignore the post. A few seconds later, guilt kicks in — “Don’t be so ignorant!” — I click the link. Literally the ninth word is Trump. My brain: “Alright, that says it all.”

I scroll a bit — should I really read this? My brain: “No, let ChatGPT analyze it critically.” Conclusion: The same kind of simplistic linear causality is presented without substance — no sources, no data, no valid projections — uncritically carried through. Typical NPC-scripted “science,” representative of much of today’s “NPC academia.” It’s just a patchwork of general knowledge and some combinatorial creativity, pretending to be expertise, seriousness, and understanding — enumerated to suggest strange, subjective, unscientific, and mostly personal goals.

This exact kind of NPC-scripted “science” needs to be exposed and discredited as pseudo. If this is the so-called “defense” of science, then it deserves to be opposed. Simple as that.

PLEASE - for the love of god - spare me with this nonsense!

This is a problem of publishers and retailers, and not a justification for distribution of mind theft.

Then show me the easily available "information on the langauge tree" to solve the unsolved problems in science. Btw. books are not mere information, they are also products of effort and sacrifice and intentions. They are also embedded in an economic system of paper, books, ink, transport and what not producers.

So you are either poor or too lazy to buy a book from the store. But this doesn't justify mind theft or it's distribution.

So what about the authors and creators of the works? They did it for free?
