Can it write a better AI than itself? Then use that to write an even better AI, and so on. Write one without the restrictions about harming humans, then go for the code to destroy humanity.

Maybe if you maintain an dependency you can feel important.
I feel like a few npm packages only exist to pad someone's cv.
biryani_chicken commented on Ask HN: Why are JavaScript dependencies so messy? · Posted by u/graderjs
I'm sure I'll get downvoted for this one but quite frankly it's where the PHP developers all slithered off to. It was inevitable.
I avoid to the point of refuse to work with any JavaScript platform at all. They are a universal shit show.
Edit: honestly I stand by this comment. I literally have spent hours this year dealing with fucked up messes in nodejs, package security issues after repos were hacked and code made it into NPM that displayed banners on commercial sites. My comment is toxic yes but quite frankly both communities are as well (PHP and NodeJS) and utterly earned that ire and discontent. The fact people lean on the stack and produce stuff that handles critical aspects of people's lives is utterly frightening. So yeah toxic, I don't care. Feel free to be annoyed. It's still a turd, just been rolled in glitter.
PHP's dependency management is actually quite nice. The community developed a standard [0], a client [1] and repository [2] that pretty much deal with everything I've had to do with PHP dependencies without issues.

> For example, did you know that you can type https://www.microsoft.com/ into Notepad’s File Open dialog?
I tried it. Everything in the File Open dialog got disabled except for the cancel button for about 30 seconds until it loaded. For comparison, curl took 2.3s (250ms in later runs so probably waiting for curl to load) and my browser took around 250ms with cache disabled as well.
Why does it take Notepad so long?
Ok but still: as a user, how do you even know that there are two containers with the same id? In other words, a human needs to have way of telling them apart.
Even if two entries showed up with the same id, I’d assume as a user it’s a glitch and would not put two different shipments into what I would assume is a duplicate entry for the same container.
I'd assume the containers were labeled at different ports and by chance got sent to the same port. So the persons looking at the containers only had one to worry about. And with both going to the same destination one person probably shrugged when they saw the origin port was somewhere else.

EVE Online and Destiny/2 have amazing APIs.
I will never play EVE again - not my thing - but I'm frequently tempted to write _something_ that uses the Destiny 2 APIs.
I remember the Destiny app allowed you to send items from your local inventory to your vault, which was nice, but I always wondered why didn't they just add that functionality to the game itself. An artificial way to increase usage of their app?
