Just a NR talking with other naive realists: naive realism as a defining cultural trait of HN:

It operates as the manifestation of two ingrained beliefs:

1. When considering any question I must be rational and logical to the point of dismissing any unverifiable data as preposterous. (The idea that "I'm a logical person, all the subjective ideas you have, all the speculation you have... I don't care. I only go by the facts, I make my decisions based on those facts.")

Yet at the same time, the person holding this idea also holds this in their mind as well:

2. When considering any question, I'm going to assume that the information we currently have is all the information that will ever be available.

The problem: We use logic, but on the basis that everything we know currently is all there is to know about this thing. - Chuck Klosterman

I think thats definitely a signal that the B and C teams werent needed, considering they cut 90% of staff LOL.

As for the bots, AI is making it easier than ever to bypass those systems. CogVLM is just sitting there menacingly on github https://github.com/THUDM/CogVLM

The old age is considered prime meditation time in the shaolin monasteries. Even if you live in poor conditions, exploring the realms of your subconcious in meditation is seen as an end goal. See Jhana stages to achieve in meditation.

If you squash on merge, you’re doing it wrong. If you’ve never used git blame, you’re doing it wrong. If your repo’s history is useless, you’re doing it wrong. If you didn’t add a typo fix or white line change as a separate commit, you’re doing it wrong.

I agree Git Blame is useful, but squash on merge is great, and having atomic commits for whiteline changes is overkill.

Looking forward to that fleshed out blog post on git
