They actually think Musk bought SpaceX. If you try to correct such facts on Reddit, you get downvoted and/or permabanned by mods. Same on BlueSky. Sometimes even on here, it's a religion.

The issue is only one side of the bias makes the HN front page. Absolute foaming at the mouth nonsensical "articles" about Tesla with terrible predictions, sometimes just outright fake news that someone just made up which BlueSky, Reddit, BlueAnon and HN just lap up, which cheapens HN.

There are different kinds of tedium that LLMs automate, being a hobbyist doesn't mean you see value in all of them. Removing tedium that you personally find uninteresting or boring actually accelerates the hobby because now you're able to get past the tedious parts instead of giving up or delaying doing them. That does not mean that everyone finds those parts boring.

Even before LLMs came along a lot of hobbyists were using high level languages, linters, IDEs etc. instead of handcrafting assembly or machine language. Those tools increased the capability of hobbyists to build what they find interesting.

>At one point I was collecting posts I found where LLM boosters explicitly mentioned how it interacted with their ADHD.

The more you accelerate early instead of later, the less fuel you have to subsequently carry to get to the same speed so it's more efficient.

Do you have a source for that? Codex went from 5 million users to 9 million users in the past few weeks since GPT 5.6 released. It was so popular that Claude was forced to extend Fable access by a week and then permanently for some plans.

New comment by ivewonyoung in "The Second Life of Sanskrit"

ivewonyoung — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:31:00 +0000

Lithuanian underwent fewer changes than other European languages languages from the same root language that begat all the proto-Indo-European languages. So it shares a lot of similar words with Sanskrit which is extremely well preserved.

Other languages like English mutated too much so it shares fewer similarities to Sanskrit.
