>As you might imagine, dating can be a quagmire of liabilities and bear traps.
I did not imagine that at all. In fact, I, like I imagine many other young men, thought that becoming famous would certainly solve their dating problems forever.
That certainty has disappeared. Thanks for sharing this.
>The point is this: you don’t need to do anything wrong to get death threats, rape threats, etc. You just need a big enough audience.
Jesus fucking christ, that is a very believable and plausible thought. Even in these 93 comments I'm already seeing people who most likely don't know this dude and somehow decided to dislike him.
Oh man this is all really hurting my brain. I wish I had a good response to this. I wish I had a magical simple response and a way to resolve this problem. On one end, I stop by curl's H1 profile regularly and watch people just drown them in garbage. It's like LLMs have unlocked a portal to a new kind of stupidity that was dormant before. Netsec always had a problem with people running nmap -sV -sC -sX -Pn -p1-65535 --max-rate -T1 scanme.nmap.org -oS out.txt and then just sending that out.txt with a subject "I FOUND A VULENARBILATEAY" And like, a script kiddie isn't really a person... everyone has a script kiddie inside of us. But it feels like we took this wonderful technology of neural networks and we did capitalism with it and unleashed it into a business of making it easier for people to be stupid but feel smart while doing it. I really like the idea that we might learn something about our own consciousness by simulating neural networks with computers but the more I see how it's done in reality the more I want to puke my brains out.
On the other hand, Matt Godbolt seems to use LLMs and I feel like I sure as hell wouldn't want to miss a PR from Matt fucking Godbolt. I mean even if I go full vanilla LLM-free I still am too addicted to using godbolt.org at this point and it was written partially with an LLM apparently.
Argh, maaan I don't know this is too fucking complicated of a problem for me to solve. Fuck, maybe let's just destroy all this technology and live as neofarmers raising chickens?
<Zero LLMs were used to write this post. In fact I went ahead and broke one GPU for every sentence I wrote just to make it harder for LLMs to compute.>
God yes. I got dragged into the uv when I started using copyparty and I am a fanatical admirer ever since. I also use pipx to install tools often. I really don't understand why you can't just pip install something globally. I want this package to be available to me EVERYWHERE, why can't I do it? I only use python recreationally because everyone uses python everywhere and you can't escape it. So there is a massive possibility I am simply wrong and pip-installing something globally is a huge risk. I'm just not understanding it.

You may have a library that's been globally installed, and you have multiple projects that rely on it. One day you may need to upgrade the library for use in one project, but there are backward incompatibile changes in the upgrade, so now all of your other projects break when you upgrade the global library.
In general, when projects are used by multiple people across multiple computers, it's best to have the specific dependencies and versions specified in the project itself so that everyone using that project is using the exact same version of each dependency.
For recreational projects it's not as big of a deal. It's just harder to do a recreation of your environment.
> I want this package to be available to me EVERYWHERE, why can't I do it?
Because it being available in the system environment could cause problems for system tools, which are expecting to find something else with the same name.
And because those tools could include your system's package manager (like Apt).
> So there is a massive possibility I am simply wrong and pip-installing something globally is a huge risk. I'm just not understanding it.
I assume you're referring to the new protections created by the EXTERNALLY-MANAGED marker file, which will throw up a large boilerplate warning if you try to use pip to install packages in the system environment (even with --user, where they can still cause problems when you run the system tools without sudo).
* the Python forum discussion (https://discuss.python.org/t/_/56900) where it was originally noticed that the Stack Overflow Q&A was advising people to circumvent the protection without understanding it, and a coordinated attempt was made to remedy that problem.
I used drugs recreationally. I don't like to talk about it. I especially don't like to talk about it online on a profile that's very heavily linked to my identity. Over many years of regular use of all kinds of different drugs, I have identified the war on drugs -- not drugs themselves -- to be the persistent threat to my safety, health, psyche and existence. Merely talking about this like I'm doing right now is a gigantic risk I am taking. And this means honest communication between the sides is non-existent. If you are a rational and a thinking person, you should eschew the persistent harassment and demonization of an entire societal layer that is the war on drugs.
What that means practically? Don't call the police on that one person smoking weed in a park or smoking fentanyl or injecting heroin on your bus if they are not bothering you. Don't make that joke about how crackheads are making this town dirty. Be humane. Be kind. Don't get dragged as a combatant into the war you know nothing about and that doesn't matter to you personally.
It's probably impossible to detect ALL languages without training for them specifically, but there's good generalization happening. Our model is a unified model rather than a separate model per language. We started out with language-specific models but found that the unified approach yielded slightly better results in addition to being more efficient to train.
I'll let Henry elaborate here, but we think there's a chance that a truly language-agnostic classifier is possible. That being said, the next version of this will support a few more languages: Ruby, C#, and Java.
Even if you do everything perfectly there's always a chance one of Microsoft engineers made a mistake somewhere and somebody found it and is now sitting on a zero day. And now with vibe coding the likelihood of that went up by who knows how much. Even air gapped systems get infected if the attacker is sophisticated enough.
Just for clarification, I'm not making a phone of any kind, nor do I really feel strongly about this subject. I really kind of wish YC had an option to remove my own comments. For some reason, I always thought you could remove your own comment.
This is probably off-topic for this one, but I feel like enforcing this permanence of speech onto people doesn't make for a good metaphor for normal friendly discussion. I'll write a blog post on it maybe.
Speed and Moore's law. You don't need to just make a decision without hallucinations, you need to do it fast enough for it to propagate to the power electronics and hit the gas/brake/turn the wheel/whatever. Over and over and over again on thousands of different tests.
A big problem I am noticing is that the IT culture over the last 70 years has existed in a state of "hardware gun get faster soon". And over the last ten years we had a "hardware cant get faster bc physics sorry" problem.
The way we've been making software in the 90s and 00s just isn't gonna be happening anymore. We are used to throwing more abstraction layers (C->C++->Java->vibe coding etc) at the problem and waiting for the guys in the fab to hurry up and get their hardware faster so our new abstraction layers can work.
Well, you can fire the guys in the fab all you want but no matter how much they try to yell at the nature it doesn't seem to care. They told us the embedded c++-monkeys to spread the message. Sorry, the moore's law is over, boys and girls. I think we all need to take a second to take that in and realize the significance of that.
[1] The "guys in the fab" are a fictional character and any similarity to the real world is a coincidence.
[2] No c++-monkeys were harmed in the process of making this comment.
I mean, probably not, but like, the world doesn't care what we think we should show.
Should we dismantle people's bodies and show it to those people's children? Should we show children their own detached arms while trapping them in a burning house with a company of their mom who is missing lower part of a body and crawling around screaming from pain while her intestines are falling out? And a mangled head of their dead cousin who's been decapitated by a sharp sheet of metal launched at him as the GRAD hit the building? Did I mention it's fucking dark and no you can't call 911. That kind of shit is happening right this second I lived in Donetsk until 2004 and the stories that I see from there are fucking brutal. Why don't you go focus on that?
I mean yeah I'm not saying we should show porn to kids. Why are you even thinking about that? What part of not wanting my fetishes end up on easily hackable government databases and known to the world is even remotely correlated to showing hardcore porn everywhere? I'm not an exhibitionist, man. I'm a prude actually. I'm easily embarrassed by my girlfriend bringing up anything about our sexual life in public. When we go to sexshop and she discusses our fetishes with employee I leave the store and puke from stress and anxiety. The thought of the entire world having access to my sexual identity is horrifying. What about people who are LGBT who's family will disown or kill them?
I probably shouldn't have gotten this heated and I honestly don't think you actually mean evil. Just think about broader implications, please.
I did not imagine that at all. In fact, I, like I imagine many other young men, thought that becoming famous would certainly solve their dating problems forever.
