The problem is not VS code itself. It's the fact extensions can access things outside of the editor. As far as I am aware, no editor sandboxes extensions.

The problem extends far beyond VS code. All extensions and executable code has the same problem. There was a case where Disney was hacked because an employee installed a BeamNG mod that had bundled malware. A company that wants to remain se

We got to that point a while ago. Many of the major social media’s are essentially uncrawlable. Communities have moved from public forums to private discords. Most of the major social media’s are unviewable without an account.

Keyboard is also both hands equally used. With handwriting less common, I wonder if people are shifting mostly towards using both hands equally now.

You also get people who dump a feature in a PR you don't particularly care about, then that submitter leaves and ages later people start reporting bugs or requests on the feature you didn't even want in the first place.

Anything connected to the internet or integrated with 3rd party systems will have to be maintained regularly forever. Anything that is self contained will last forever. Main reason I avoid buying anything that requires an app. Because one d

The signal of quality for me is the number of contributors and the age of the repo. If I see a repo that's several years old and has many contributes over that time it's very likely a reputable project with some value. If I see a

The open web will die off, and the AI companies will pay people to create private datasets and books that are known to not be slop.

AI is the new “many people are saying”.

I’ve noticed this too. A single result can determine the answer it gives. And removing the content from its context makes it harder to assess. Suddenly it’s “Gemini said …” rather than “some guy in the YouTube comments said”.

Seemingly the only use for photo realistic ai generation is deception. We are already seeing AI generated video used in political ads in America.

It's not quite the same but it seems the people who used to be publishing flash games are now making indie games on Steam. With modern dev tools and engines it's possible for one person to make what used to be a team effort before

For all of the use cases being hyped you really do, and you actually need something much better than the SOTA models to do what we are being told can be done. The small models are useful for small things like summarizing text or search but

The real problem is the hardware to run them is still very expensive.

Seems like GitHub could solve this by making users verify they own a domain name by adding a value to a txt record rather than just seeing the domain points to github and letting any repo use it.

Wouldn't it drive up the cost of finding vulnerabilities when all the low hanging fruit has already been scanned and patched? Like the new baseline for finding a vulnerability will be something an LLM couldn't find.

Yes, we are drowning in slop, while also still paying for all the same tools we did pre AI because the vibeslop doesn't cut it.

The networking code is not some 3rd party content that happens to be loaded. It’s an integral part of bambu studio, and if you don’t install it, large parts of the apps functionality won’t work. By a common sense view it is not a plugin at

In Australia solar panels are so ubiquitous I don't think you'd even notice them. They just blend in as much as any other functional part of a house.

The annoying thing is even if you know what it means, multiple groups will use the same initialisms for different terms. So without more context you can’t know what it means. It isn’t common but I feel it would be best when posting to HN to

Easier to just get them to come in. Which also has the effect of filtering out people pretending to be in the country but aren’t.

Something that is for sure new is the AI interview cheating tools which listen in on the call and provide answers in an overlay invisible to screen sharing. The only way to deal with it would either be invasive spyware on the applicants com

Ultimately in a software development role you need both technical know how and problem solving capabilities. This situation in particular was a React role so there is an expectation that when you list React as one of your skills on your res

While this is true, it seems undeniable that if you use AI to do everything for you, you will never learn the skills. I'm seeing a massive amount of developers submitting stuff for review and admitting they have no idea how it works an

We are interviewing for a software dev role and we made the first round in person to prevent cheating. The gap between people who learned pre ai vs post is immense. I had a dev with supposedly 3 years experience and a degree in software who
