It entirely depends on what your goals are.

If you want to solve the problem quickly then just use the resources you have, if you want to become someone who can solve problems quickly then you need to spend hundreds of hours banging your head against a wall.


Great designers will make great designs no matter what tools you give them.

Just spend 30 minutes a day without using them. Think of it like practicing an instrument.

Of all the times to complain about Europeans complaining about wars, maybe now is not the time?

No, now is the time, considering there's been an active war in Europe for many years now that they've been begging the US to get involved with.

At this point anything that makes computers less usable is a good thing, time we go back to the real world. It was extremely unpleasant while it lasted.

That which can be asserted with no evidence can be dismissed with no evidence.

but at some point someone should bring some evidence, or the exchange is pointless.

not when the entire conversation has nothing to do with anything.

Welcome to Hacker News?

No it can’t.

Long term LLM use will greatly reduce your ability to work in the absense of them. Which is how addiction works.

It gives me a pleasant interface to talk to my desktop from my phone. I can just send my computer a discord message and have it execute some arbitrarily complex task for me.

I talk to my desktop from my phone by having termux opened to a persistent tmux session that's sshed in to the desktop over tailscale. I have Claude running in the persistent session. It's 1 tap to open the termux app and I type my commands into a Claude session running in yolo mode. What am I missing here that would need one of these claw agents?

The question is what wonderful task do you need to trigger while you're at the grocery store?

You're hitting the nail on the head with this one, a solution in search of a problem lol.

So you are thinking that the UK government is going to do an international criminal investigation against aphyr for posting an archive link on a hacker news thread.

You're asking the wrong question.

Does the UK government have the legal right to do an international criminal investigation against any website that is potentially violating their laws by having visitors from the UK accessing the site?

Answer yes or no, this is an easy binary question, and not one that requires any probabilistic thinking.


It's "playing it safe" in the same way that wearing full hockey gear to go to the store is "playing it safe".

He is either making a political point or excessively paranoid.


It's probably a political point, but I think your comparison over sells how inconvenient it is for someone to geoblock one small country and the headache if anything did happen. It's not much more effort than doing nothing really?

And clearly users in the UK can find their own way to read it if they like, so the cost is also small there.


>geoblock one small country

Considering that there is multiple "why is this blocked in the uk" comments on every single one of these posts maybe the UK isn't such a small country. Geoblocking a decent chunk of your readership would be a pretty big inconvenience for a writer I would imagine.


the culture section of this writeup links to explicitly adult/erotic content in the footnotes and discusses 'adult themes' directly. his caution seems reasonable.

>or excessively paranoid.

Have you even read the shit politicians are either pulling or trying to these days? There is no amount of paranoia that is too little when talking about things like cross national prosecution, laws regarding users not considered adults, and age verification.
