Meh. Consider that you had no choice and no say that your data out there, both present and historic as mined, aggregated and analyzed by data collectors, was used as a training set for the LLMs. I think you’re a tad too late with your warning. They’re already thieves and they know it. And they know you can’t and won’t do anything about it.
The fact that people have to resort to hacks and tricks to do basic coding tells me that the quality of code generated by these frontier models is mediocre at best. And I’ve had the same happen - the code, the comments, is at the level of a junior developer. AGI my ass.
I find it amusing HN the degree to which wears horse blinders. Some of us have been raising concerns with EU for many years and we get shut down, called right wingers, Nazis and whatever other derogatory term is popular.
If it took this much for you to realize EU is bad, I wonder how much it will take before you’ll do something. As it stands, it sounds like everyone is complaining, but are still bending over and taking it. Thoughts and prayers.
> From the early legal controversy to now if there's one thing we can expect from geohot is that he's gonna think he's god's gift to programming and everyone whose work he disagrees with are losers.
As one of many who has seen him doing his thing alongside others, yeah he’d think that. And he’d be right.
My dude, I don’t know how to explain this to you but phones and computers are addictive for people. They get hooked on them to feed the lizard brain with digital junk food engineered for engagement.
I don’t even understand why write this? So much code gets rewritten. Typescript 7 has just been rewritten from TS to Go, yielding much better performance. They chose Go over Rust because TS codebase looks more like the Go one.
No one is throwing chicken tendies over it. Countless other examples. Big deal
I don’t use Zig and I never will - the gushing fan base that has top-loaded fuzzy feels over technical superiority has made that certain, but this is not even a language to language debate. This is just sour grapes. But it sounds like even the people here now don’t want to use Zig due to how it makes them feel. Oh well.
The uncomfortable truth is HN needs to see this. And the usual responses of “it’s the job of the parents to police this, not society and not laws” should have one comment thread dedicated so they can all echo to each other the same statement over and over while the rest of the thread actually talks about the article and the societal issues at hand.
A rare gem to see someone talking about MF. I used to play lots of it with friends, our games would last for over 48 hours (we wouldn’t sleep). Different time.
Should we brace for another front page Zig donation announcement? A fast follow with a “Why Zig?” penance piece, replete with anecdotes about how it is the only true way to express oneself?
