> We are strongly, strongly evolutionary oriented away from 'murder' - it's the original sin

Very strong statement given the massive killing of kettle and poultry per second.

Also given all the wars including those currently raging - I think is rather untrue.

Besides the killing a lion does is not over resources, it’s the resource itself.

Here’s one: scratches are officially not an argument anymore for a price discount on a second hand Mac.

Drop them like it’s hot!

Stick around and you’ll find out. And, no, it is even statistically unlikely some leaf comments ever get that much attention.

She probably is already stinking rich, or at least rich enough. Beyond certain point, though, research and knowledge seems more interesting than riches, and particularly if you feel yourself a researcher. Otherwise, perhaps, she be doing the same to business and be Ellona or something. Thank God she does not, but the contrary - is an inspiration to so many people - young and adult. Kudos!

This whole essay very strongly resonates with the anti-natalistic movement. The fact the protagonist of the story kills himself adds to this in a very unmistakable manner.

How credible are the claims code en masse is good? Because I despise nearly every line of unreasonably verbose Java, that is so much waste of time and effort, but still deployed everywhere.

It is amazing how much malice did author put into proving the world is stupid, and only few still stand guard of reason.

this continual down-voting is not a personal thing for sure. perhaps there are crawlers that pretend to be more humane, or fully automated llm commenters which also randomly downvote.

I have not elevated this person, and very much despise much of what he does and says. For the record.

The quantity of tests, known as penetration attempts, that most critical software survives today in a networked environment, is magnitudes more daring that the easily-cracked software printed on CDs. I really don't understand how this argument about software made 26 years ago really stands any reasonable ground.

My gut feeling and expectation is that people will be turning their internet off at night, and at all times. At least for a while until this whole new security situation somehow settles with newly invented automation.

May sound weird, but as author of previous comment noted - a lot of appliances need not be connected ever and still benefit humanity.

indeed, from my perspective doing heavy agentic dev for six months, the language all is implemented should be easy. its api - also. like Swift is super easy to read, but the APIs of underlying libs - not so much. Python is reasonably easy to read, but with GIL and everything is a very slow choice. Zig seems a nice apporach to readability, Rust is definitely not so readable.

we may want to invent something akin to concise math notion, but not so much, in between pseudo-code and math.

relax, soon u be rewriting the essence of all these libs into something new. python has its days numbered also perhaps for many engineering decisions that are now cheap via llms.

Well contrary to many, myself was not convinced and suspected the content being LLM generated from very beginning with the images and even background. Something in the writing also didn’t hit right.

I've done a lot of these visual helpers for my classes (topics vary). This one teaches the Mercator projection and how the ln acts upon the central

Honestly, I initially thought that everyone already does it, amazing it seems they don't yet - neither teachers, nor class. The artefact was created with care and love through a very long conversation, so this is not a 1-shot slop, rather a cared-for-slop :D. Besides I don't think it is easy to get this right from the first time, and the model usually expounds on the irrelevant details if not properly guided by a human hand.
