I think curves make sense for e.g. those 34-40" 21:9 and 49" 32:9 displays, because otherwise the edges are much further from your peripheral vision, requiring you to change focus significantly to look at different parts of the screen. My mother has a 22" 16:9 curved screen, and it's impossible to sit at a distance for which the curve is useful while still preserving your ability to actually focus on the fucking thing.

(I am the person you are responding to so I can be uncharitable towards myself)

All the things you said are an excuse. All that happens if I believe the excuses is that I will be fatter and fatter, no thanks.

I 100% know that I "could" run every day if I got my shit together, if I was really dying to do it, and if it was part of my identity. The fact that it's not part of my identity is the whole problem.

Say it another way - if my neighbor and I switched families and bodies, he'd still run - in my situation - while I'd still succumb to the excuses - in his situation.

> To win a discrimination case, you typically need to document a pattern of behavior over time—often a year

Where did you hear this?

> use ChatGPT to draft calm, non-threatening Slack messages that note discriminatory incidents and keep doing that consistently

This is terrible advice. It not only makes those messages inadmissible, it casts reasonable doubt on everything else you say.

Using an LLM to take the emotion out of your breadcrumbs is fine. Having it draft generic stuff, or worse, potentially hallucinate, may actually flip liability onto you, particularly if you weren't authorised to disclose the contents of those messages to an outside LLM.

Might be. FWIW, my experience with the Qwen3 30b model basically took ChatGPT out of rotation for me. It's not hard for me to imagine an 80b model pushing that further, especially with thinking enabled.

I recommend playing with the free hosted models to draw your own conclusions: https://chat.qwen.ai/

I mean 640KB should be enough for anyone too but here we are. Assuming LLMs fulfill the expected vision, they will be in everything and everywhere. Think about how much the internet has permeated everyday life. Even my freaking toothbrush has WiFi now! 1000x demand is likely several orders of magnitude too low in terms of the potential demand (again, assuming LLMs deliver on the promise).

> LLMs will accelerate discovery and development of Innovation 1, for insanely expensive AGI.

Can you expand on this more? As far as I'm aware LLMs have yet to invent anything novel.

At best they may have inferred one response of many that, when tested by humans, may have proven out. I'm not aware of a specific example of even that, but it is at least possible where claims that LLMs will "cure cancer" seem plainly false (I'm not trying to put those words in your mouth, just using an example for my point).

One of the features that was hyped about DirectX 12 was that it had explicit support for multiple GPU's even if they were different models from different manufacturers.

As far as I know very few, if any, games currently take advantage of this feature. It's somewhat interesting that this is the case, when you think of it many PC's and laptops do have 2 GPU's, one as a Discrete Graphics card, and the other that comes integrated with the CPU itself (and over the last few year's these integrated GPU's have become powerful enough themselves to run some demanding games at low or medium settings at 60 fps)

Agreed. If someone could help answer the question of "how" I'd appreciate it. I'm currently skeptical but not sure I'm knowledgeable enough to prove myself right or wrong.

But, it just seems to me that some of the 'vulnerabilities' are baked in from the beginning, e.g. control and data being in the same channel AFAIK isn't solvable. How is it possible to address that at all? Sure we can do input validation, sanitization, restrict access, etc. ,etc., and a host of other things but at the end of the day isn't it still non-zero chance that something is exploited and we're just playing whack-a-mole? Not to mention I doubt everyone will define things like "private data" and "untrusted" the same. uBlock tells me when a link is on one of it's lists but I still click go ahead anyways.

Identity shapes our commitment. For example, when I was a single guy living in NYC, I'd do sometimes 2 hours of yoga every day because the studio was on my walk home and if I had nothing to do, I'd just go there. So it required relatively little commitment.

So I identified as a "yogi" but it didn't take much sacrifice to do it.

As a suburban dad of 3, working out requires greater commitment than it did before, and I am failing to muster the required level of commitment to overcome that friction sometimes. While my neighbor is more committed because I guess it's part of his identity.

Ah, yes, I see now. I think a NixOS configuration is best managed as text, but I can see now how code generation could potentially bridge that gap. I'm not currently confident in the ability of LLMs to do this, but I do think that a kind of "NixOS IDE", perhaps with a some GUI elements and writing to some constrained files is a good idea.

Once upon a time, Snowflake OS was working on this, but I don't think the project is very active anymore.

> My experience extending a core emacs function was an instructive and > interesting exercise. I don't know what the future of emacs looks like in an > increasingly LLM-crazed world, but I hope that future includes an open and > powerful way to extend and customize the tools we use to write software.

I have gptel configured with Claude 4.1 via API. Claude generates an org-mode file. I ask it questions about Emacs packages, Emacs configuration, and Emacs customization. It responds w/ Elisp snippets that I can eval immediately and see the effect. Claude knows a lot about Emacs. All these chats are version controlled into git so I can easily pull, consult-ripgrep, and pickup where I left off from any of my machines.

I can add my `.emacs` to the Claude context to get more precise answers. If it falls over on some package I can `M-x find-library` to add that library's source to the context. If the code it wrote doesn't work, I add the `Messages` buffer and the `Backtrace` buffer for errors. I eval the snippet, reprompt, rinse and repeat.

With this fast feedback loop (no restarting Emacs, just live coding), I've added a ton of customizations that in my twenty years of using Emacs previously just never felt like I had the time or enthusiasm for given higher priorities:

* Boring stuff: managing where modes open buffers in which windows

* More ambitious stuff: standard org-remark behavior isn't that natural for highlighting and making notes so I made a nicer Transient based thing for it.

* Stuff for work: a fast logging minor mode that font locks incrementally, disables all the save prompting, and handles ASCII color codes. Later I intend to linkify stack traces, linkify data so that they open pretty printed in a different buffer, collect errors and show an unobtrusive notification in the active window, etc. etc.

In two weeks, I've learned more Emacs than I did the 10 years prior. Most of all, this is a usage of LLMs that I can say I honestly love - improving my own day-to-day tools. Because Emacs is a text-oriented live programming environment - LLM integration just feels like it's on a completely different level.

Claude (or any good LLM) + Emacs is a killer app.

Can you name one other genocide in history where the genociders supply millions of tonnes of aid to those they're genociding?

Protests in Israel would be maxed out if Israel were committing actual genocide. Israelis are good people, they wouldn't stand around while their defence force committed genocide. They don't want Hamas regrouping into Hamas 2.0, and who can blame them.

International Law experts can't go to their filing cabinets and pull out the file on "similar wars" to what is happening.

"Israel isn't doing it right"... says every armchair "free palestine" advocate without actually saying how they should do it.

Let Israel finish it, THEN if they don't leave and help rebuild, with Palestinians under new governance of their own (helped by international peace keepers or whatever) then hold Israel to account, but not before during the war, that's just flotilla levels of useless.

> but there was a very brief and small wave of articles perhaps a few years back claiming a lot of Indians in the US were still facing caste-based discrimination

Those articles based on a lawsuit were very heavily promoted on HN, however the complaint was by a single disgruntled employee who just happened to invoke the caste card and the suit was thrown out by the court.

The California DoJ failed to do basic due diligence before filing the lawsuit to the extent that the defendants filed a civil suit saying they were being discriminated against because of their race by the CA DoJ. Of course, these followups never got any traction on HN, because they didn't fit the narrative.

And now there are so many people, especially on HN and other developer forums that are utterly convinced caste based discrimination is very prevalent.

Yeah I've had those conversations since GPT-3 first came out. I usually look like the one way off base, but I never did hear a clear explanation of how the LLM architecture could lead to AGI.

In my experience it was a combination of the hype and an overconfidence in the person's understanding of how LLMs work and what AGI actually means. To be fair, AGI definitions are all over the place and LLMs were rarely described in detail beyond "its AI that read the whole internet and sounds like a human."

That's 100% true but it goes back to the same point. The religious couple has that support because they and their family made the choices to stay in proximity. The secular couple may in theory want the same thing but in reality made a very different choice. For example they might identify as "cool ppl who of course want to live in NYC" more than "future parents that want to be close to the family.

The one's i've gotten have all seemed more like tests of my puzzle solving skills than coding.

The worst ones i've had though had extra problems though:

one i was only told about when i joined the interview and that they would be watching live.

One where they wanted me streaming my face the whole time (maybe some people people are fine with that)

And one that would count it against me if i tabbed to another page. So no documentation because they assume i'm just googling it.

Still it's mostly on me to prepare and expect this stuff now.

Agentic already implies what you want to imply. Maybe just call it agentic coding?

I feel that be the most clear. Agentic coding implies any workflow using AI agents. Which mean it's always the same agentic coding loop:

1. Prompt... 2. Wait or go do something else while agents make edits... 3. Come back to review the result 4. Go to 1

> is generally anchored to copilots/IDE style agents where people are actively writing code

I don't know when you last used these, but they're all agentic now. The workflow is exactly the same, you don't write code and auto-complete suggestions, you prompt and they go and make multiple edits to multiple files and can take upwards of 10 minutes, once done they show you a diff (or you can trust) and you're free to review/test or not, and prompt some more.

Edit: Or what the other commenter said: "prompt driven coding", that could be a good term as well.

> Sure, but your example cites someone who expects to be making the median annual salary every month within a few years

No.

This is someone who spent $50k in debt just to end up earning the same salary ($700-800/mo) if she worked in a factory sowing clothes (which give free dormitory housing vs paying $200-400/mo in rent like non factory workers do), working in the unregulated vice industry in Singapore, UAE, of Korea, or doing nails under the table while overstaying their B2 visa in East San Jose - like a number of my SO's peers who didn't make it into a degree program that leads to you becoming a doctor, dentist, bureaucrat, or engineer.

Spending 8-10 years of education just to end up earning a similar amount as a factory worker makes people who devoted so much time and effort angry, and why you see a significant exodus of medical professionals in developing countries to developed countries, becuase they are not remunerated enough.

Remunerating people less only exacerbates brain drains.

And note how this is specifically medical professionals - other white collar roles pay less and are much more competitive or difficult to land a job in VN

Saying the median American has a life comparable to the median Vietnamese is TRULY out of touch.

With respect, it seems you haven’t kept up with how people actually use ChatGPT. In discrimination cases—especially disparate treatment—the key is comparing your performance, opportunities, and outcomes against peers: projects assigned, promotions, credit for work, meeting invites, inclusion, and so on. For engineers, that often means concrete signals like PR assignments, review comments, approval times, who gets merges fast, and who’s blocked.

Most employees don’t know what data matters or how to collect it. ChatGPT Pro (GPT-5 Pro) can walk someone through exactly what to track and how to frame it: drafting precise, non-threatening documentation, escalating via well-written emails, and organizing evidence. I first saw this when a seed-stage startup I know lost a wage claim after an employee used ChatGPT to craft highly effective legal emails.

This is the shift: people won’t hire a lawyer to explore “maybe” claims on a $100K tech job—but they will ask an AI to outline relevant doctrines, show how their facts map to prior cases, and suggest the right records to pull. On its own, ChatGPT isn’t a lawyer. In the hands of a thoughtful user, though, it’s close to lawyer-level support for spotting issues, building a record, and pushing for a fair outcome. The legal system will feel that impact.

Different people have different preferences.

I suspect a bunch of smaller manufacturers would have more success with their products if there was an easy way to try them out for a week or two. Buying hardware sight-unseen incurs a heavy risk penalty. Buying it after seeing it in a store for ten minutes is some reduction, but not a lot.

How many people would spend $250 on a split ergo ortho keyboard having never touched anything other than a laptop or maybe a mushy $12 pack-in included with their Dell at work?

What's the appropriate solution other than inflating the price even more to cover a generous return policy?

I might buy a Keyboard.io or a Moonlander... but there's a pretty high risk I won't love it. These things can be subtle: I quite like the X-Bows Knight I'm typing on now, and can't stand the Keychron Q10 which, by all rights, I ought to find about as comfortable.

Its not really memorizing solutions. Yes you can get quite far by doing so but follow ups will trip people up. However if you have memorized it and can answer follow ups, I dont see a problem with Leetcode style problems. Problem solving is about pattern matching and the more patterns you know and can match against, the better your ability to solve problems.

Its a learnable skill and better to pick it up now. Personally I've solved Leetcode style problems in interviews which I hadnt seen before and some of them were dynamic programming problems.

These days its a highly learnable skill since GPT can solve many of the problems, while also coming up with very good explanations of the solution. Better to pick it up than not.

> My biggest problem with leetcode type questions is that you can't ask clarifying questions.

Huh? Of course you can. If you're practicing on leetcode, there's a discussion thread for every question where you can ask questions till the cows come home. If you're in a job interview, ask the interviewer. It's supposed to be a conversation.

> I wouldn't even mind the studying on leetcode types sites if they actually had decent explainers

If you don't find the hundreds of free explanations for each question to be good enough, you can pay for Leetcode Pro and get access to editorial answers which explain everything. Or use ChatGPT for free.

> It's not a matter of skill, it's just my ability to take in certain types of problems doesn't work well.

I don't mean to be rude, but it is 100% a matter of skill. That's good news! It means if you put in the effort, you'll learn and improve, just like I did and just like thousands and thousands of other humans have.

> Without any chance of additional info/questions it's literally a setup to fail.

Well with that attitude you're guaranteed to fail! Put in the work and don't give up, and you'll succeed.

Same applies in person. I’ve had people knocking on my door offering a discount on my electric bill.

— You just need to do accept <whatever, I forget> and you’ll pay less.

— But I don’t want to switch providers, I’m happy with the current one.

— Oh no, you’ll stay with the same provider, we’re with them, that doesn’t change.

— Alright, then I’ll call the company to discuss this further and get the discount.

— Unfortunately, this is only valid this way. Not by calling or online.

— Then I’m not interested. Bye.

One of my neighbours was tricked at a different time by a similar scam, forcing them into a contract with a different company.

It's fine to dislike people and normal. It's not fine to dislike people because of their race or sexuality. It's much worse to spend your entire adult life spreading bigotry ... in the name of God. His beliefs were inherently violent toward women, non-hetero, and non-white people. I don't want to learn anymore about this guy. I've learned enough this week. He spent his young adulthood intentionally provoking people, pushing right up to or past the limit of what's considered acceptable in the MAGA era. What happened to him is awful, he was awful.

Can someone give the counter argument to my initial cynical read of this? That read being: OpenAI has more money than it can invest productively within it's own company and is trying to cast a net to find new product ideas via an incubator? I can't imagine Softbank or Microsoft is happy about their money being funneled into something like this and it implies they have run out of ideas internally. But I think I'm probably being too reflexively cynical
