Like a dream come true... Nightmares are dreams as well and this is a nightmare like Windows Recall. Technically wonderful though.

I am not dissing PHP, I am saying that the absolute majority of any code out there is mediocre and not super good and not super bad.

That's totally fine and dandy as there is a very big, very vocal, very brainwashed crowd that dramatically overstates the capabilities of remote LLMs on HN as well.

No, there are millions upon millions of mediocre lines of code out there. And LLMs tend to converge on mediocrity. Which is totally fine.

Because when this idiotic hypemachinery finally dies an agonising, painful death, some of us still want to work with computers

But also the majority of programmers?

I find that so fascinating... I know GitHub since decades. Over said decades I've worked on countless (open source) projects there. Professionally? 1 project in all those years. Yes, exactly 1 (still there). Every single other project

(Needless) complexity is going on. KISS and you sleep better. That and the problem of forever chasing trends and never saying: "It's done" without reinventing everything every couple of years (trends again) Sounds too easy? I

Lawful means nothing but "according to law", which is a meaningless statement... Remember that even the third Reich had laws!

Using Niri for over a year now. Before that I was on sway for 6 years, before that on i3, before that on KDE, Gnome, ... I'll never look back. Niri is the best window manager I ever used, it just instantly clicked with me.

> They call us warmongers and then wonder why we don't want to help them fight their war. There is a huge difference between attacking foreign nations because of oil... Oh, pardon me, because of... Geopolitical interests... Oh, pard

How positive for the human rights of the people of invaded countries was the US? Ask around in Vietnam, Iraq, Syria and countless more countries around the world.

I refuse to do such things to cater to certain people. Frankly I don't care whether I get or lose karma points, lol

I guess it's a bit of desperation to find a sustainable business model. The AI hype is dying, at least outside the silicon valley bubble which hackernews is very much a part of. That and all the dogfooding by slop coding their user fac

This, so much this! Pay by token(s) while token usage is totally intransparent is a super convenient money printing machinery.

> but if you’re not a Chinese shop, would you really host your production code development workload on a Chinese hosted provider? As opposed to an US-american shop? Yup, sure, why not? It's the same ballpark.

Funny, for me Opus is struggling since about February. 4.7 made no difference, so for the first time in many moons I am cancelling my subscription.

Dogmatism is a spectrum and for too many people it's on the animal side of the scale.

So an OPEN model that I can run on my own fucking hardware will entrench China in global supply and logistics how? Contrary: How will the closed, proprietary models from Anthropic, "Open"AI and Co. lead us all to freedom? Freedom

Many people averted religion (which I can get behind with), but have never removed the dogmatic thinking that lay at its root. As so many things these days: It's a cult. I've used Claude for many months now. Since February I see

Another supply chain attack waiting? Have you tried just adding an instruction to be terse? Don't get me wrong, I've tried out caveman as well, but these days I am wondering whether something as popular will be hijacked.

by OtomotO 6mo ago
Same for me. I cancelled my subscription and will be moving to Codex for the time being. Tokens are way too opaque and Claude was way smarter for my work a couple of months ago.
