I never understood why the journalism industry didn't go the way of wikipedia. Britannica was the shining example of capitalism, being sold door to door. Encarta was done by Microsoft. Both got disrupted real quick by a million people

Why was this flagged? It speaks negatively about AI?

They tried their best: https://deterministic.js.org/ No, WASM is deterministic, JS is fundamentally not. Your dislike of all things blockchain makes you say silly things.

Actually the great secret of wasm (that will piss off a lot of people on HN I am sure) is that it is deterministic and can be used to build decentralized smart contracts and Byzantine Fault Tolerant distributed systems :) Some joker who bui

There's a growing list of things we're told to ignore, from Trump constantly saying he'll annex Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, to new executive orders to chill free speech. "Take them seriously, not literally. On s

The code is stable and partially tested. Needs a lot more testing before committing it to main. This is mainly because the primary ORM adapter for MySQL has been rewritten, and a lot of apps use it. I think in 2026 the automation will reach

I actually based it on an existing PHP adapter for MySQL. Together with the AI, I went over all the features that needed refactoring, and what would work in Postgres and Sqlite the same way, etc. There were a ton of nuances.

I think those parts were the big bottleneck, so technically, yes it has.

Not convenient for me. I just do git diff | mate and copypaste.

Cherrypicking the most tedious parts, like boilerplate to get up and running, or porting code to other adapters (making mysqlite and postgres adapters for instance) This was done in about 3 hours for instance: https://github.com&

Wait how did this appear 3 hours ago, and also got flagged? I posted this many days ago! Something is wrong with HN timestamps.

Yes, there is A LOT of boilerplate that is sped up by AI. Every time I interface with a new service or API, I don't have to carefully read the documentation and write it by hand (or copypaste examples), I can literally have the AI do t

In a sense, yes. If you compare how long it would take me to do it manually about 15 years ago.

I don't think automated downvote brigading is good for HN. It buries items and then by the time they are found and upvoted, it's basically been buried. Anyway...

Okay great. Now keep going with the rest of my comment and address the rest point by point. You’ll find that it expands from that first point, and describes the consequences of capitalism and competition as an organizing principle.

I normally think pg has been very reasonable in his views, but his historic approval of downvoting things merely to signal disagreement , or worse, being triggered by a word , is a mistake, this norm makes HN much less useful. It chills s

I refuse to believe that people can do downvotes on a long-ish comment 4 seconds after something is posted . Not even read. Posted. That means they had to refresh exactly at that moment, within a second of it being posted, scroll down the

This is an honest one. There are not many reasons to use a cryptocurrency and a blockchain, but this is one of them. It models the incentives properly. In general - smart contracts can prevent a huge class of disputes, increasing clarity at
