I feel like Hacker News commenters love to make analogies more than average people in your average space, though. You can't come across a biology/health topic on here without someone chiming in with "it's like if X was code and it had this bug" or "it's like this body part is the Y of the computer."
Analogies can be useful sometimes, but people also shouldn't feel like they need to see everything through the lens of their primary domain, because it usually results in losing nuances.
On the other hand, if you are communicating with a bunch of people who share that primary domain, it can be a useful way of making a point.
(unless that primary domain tends to attract a lot of people who tend to the hyper-literal /s)

The fabrication technology doesn't matter. The qualification process, on the other hand ...
This is the primary reason why I never got a pilot's license. I suspect I would spend far too much time making sure the maintenance was up to standard and far too little actually enjoying flying.
> The fabrication technology doesn't matter. The qualification process, on the other hand ...
Well, yes, but... In this case the fabrication technology and the lack of qualification process likely go hand in hand. They wouldn't have a qualification process unless they were manufacturing enough of these that plastic 3d printing wouldn't be cost effective. The shortcut is the point.
I think the idea was that 3D printing made doing a thing accessible, previously required solid fundamental knowledge (and very expensive kit). Now you can just take some specs off the internet and press go.
The comparison does not seem as absurd to me as it does to you. vOv
The lesson here is that one should never attempt analogies on HN, because people can't just relax and try to see the point of the analogy. They are compelled to fixate on the fact that an analogy is different from the thing it is being compared to.
I see multiple examples of it in this thread.
cloudfudge commented on Response to "Ruby Is Not a Serious Programming Language" robbyonrails.com/articles... · Posted by u/robbyrussell
I enjoyed ruby as a language for a while, but the one truly maddening aspect of it is that (as of 10 years ago anyway) nobody actually wrote threadsafe gems (because everyone was writing for Rails, which was single-threaded). That and the rampant monkeypatching that made the standard library hard to count on. These are the things that make it feel really "unserious" to me. I have no idea if these complaints are still current, though. I assume thread safety has been tackled at the very least.

Yes, for things I care(d) about (eg google mail/calendar, FB Messenger / WhatsApp web, etc).
The problem is I'm pretty any one of us has (at most) 2-3 sites we actually want notifications from, and dozens asking.
Maybe I'm odd, but even for stuff I use like gmail, desktop notifications have always been a hard no for me. But those examples at least make sense. It's absolutely baffling to me that anyone would allow it for something like CNN, or basically 99% of websites.

You forgot about websites wanting you to enable desktop notifications. That's always a nice one.
Has anyone in the history of mankind ever clicked "yes" to a website enabling desktop notifications? I feel like browsers should just adopt an "automatically say no to this bs" setting.

Claude Code v2.0.35 — No exaggeration I've had it popup 4x today already.
Yes but imagine they hadn't applied this "fix." It could have been 40x. :P

My garbage disposal service sends me a survey once or twice a year asking if I would recommend them to my friends.
Where I live, garbage disposal is a county contract. You get get whatever company your county has engaged. Do they think people would to move to another county for better garbage disposal?
Asking the likelihood I would recommend a service to my friends is a sure fire way to get a 0.

Hey HN, Boris from the Claude Code team here. Sharing a bit about why we have this survey, how we use it, and how to opt out of it-
1. We use session quality feedback as a signal to make sure Claude Code users are having a good time. It's helpful data for us to more quickly spot & prevent incidents like https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/a-postmortem-of-three-.... There was a bug where we were showing the survey too often, which is now fixed (it was annoying and a misconfiguration on our part).
2. Giving session quality feedback is totally optional. When you provide feedback, we just collect your numerical rating and some metadata (like OS, terminal, etc.). Giving feedback doesn't cause us to log your conversation, code, or anything like that. (docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/data-usage#session-quality-s...)
3. We don't train on quality feedback data. This is documented in the link above.
4. If you don't want to give feedback, you can permanently turn it off for yourself by setting CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY=1 in your env or settings.json file. (docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings)
5. To permanently turn off the feedback survey for your whole company, set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY=1 in the settings.json checked into your codebase, or in your enterprise-managed settings.json (docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings)
6. You can also opt out of both telemetry + survey by setting CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1, or you can more granularly opt out with DISABLE_ERROR_REPORTING=1, DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1, etc. (also documented in the settings docs)
Security and privacy are very important, and we spend a lot of time getting these right. You have full control over data usage, telemetry, and training, and these are configurable for yourself, for your codebase, and for all your employees. We offer all of these options out of the box, so you can choose the mechanism that makes the most sense for you.
If there is a setting or control that is missing, or if anything is unclear from the docs, please tell us!
> We use session quality feedback as a signal to make sure Claude Code users are having a good time
Your entire answer ignores the fact that this is irritating behavior that ensures users are not having a good time. We don't want to chase down secret config values. We want to click "stop bothering me" and be done with it.
