I'm not sure electric trucks that run off of batteries is a practical solution. Given the size and weight of trucks and cargo they require 10-15 times larger battery to provide noticeably smaller range. Throw in refueling time and it&#

It's good that there's some research into this - to confirm what is generally obvious to anyone who studied anything. You have to think about what you are doing, write things by hand, use the skill to improve and retain it. Common

This tracks, reminds me of Cory Doctorow's talk on reverse centaur situation where he gave a nice rundown of the tech market of the past 15+ years. Do anything and everything to remain in "growth stock" category. Spend money

I would like to see vibecode crowd accept this challenge. We hear a lot of claims about people building some impressive applications and tools in one afternoon. Or nightmarish monstrosities with hundreds of thousands of line of code. So it

From what I read others say at some point on HN: - resources - security - setup speed? I suppose a lot depends on how and in what environment you're dealing with agents. Resources might be an issue on Mac if you have bunch of agents ru

From the article it seems like this is mostly corporate side - fulfillment appears to be OK as long as consumers continue consuming... or until Amazon pushes robotics side of fulfillment to its logical conclusion - getting rid of those pesk

What made you think that I'm "obsessed" with how other people spend money?

So, about 2 years worth of operations based on alleged $14 billion burn rate projected for 2026. What an absurd amount of money - if only this was invested in energy sector scientific research and development, or healthcare or anything else

Is it going to be the same future as Fuchsia OS? There were some good ideas in that one, but then one day it sort of disappeared. Not that that was surprising - Google is good at that.

Yes, we clearly have different perspectives. I observed an arrogant person who despite their multi-year break from engineering of any kind strongly believed that they still were as capable as engineers who remained in the field during that

This has nothing to do about ageism. This applies to any person of any age who has ego big enough to think that their knowledge of industry is relevant after they take prolonged break and be socially inept enough to brag about how they are

For some reason this makes me think of a jigsaw puzzle. People usually complete these puzzles because they enjoy the process where on the end you get a picture that you can frame if you want to. Some people seem to want to get the resulting

The only issue is that as an engineering manager you reasonably expect that the team learns new things, improve their skills, in general grow as engineers. With AI and its context handling you're working with a team where each member h

Six months is definitely not long enough of a break for skills to degrade. But it's not just skills, as I wrote in another comment, the biggest thing is knowledge of new tools, new versions of language and its features. I'd say th

You might still have the skillset to write code, but depending on length of the break your knowledge of tools, frameworks, patterns would be fairly outdated. I used to know a person like that - high in the company structure who would claim

Just more coal to the hype-train - AI companies can't afford news cycle without anything AI. Stock prices must grow!

If only there were no conflict of interest - since you're directly invested in AI hype.

But of course - AI is exactly where all the crypto bros moved to since hype around crypto went down.

This evolution comes at a cost - if one senior suddenly can do their work and plus work of 5 juniors - why would company keep these juniors? It won't - the moment C-suite realizes they don't need extra people, they will be gone. B

> Effectively all software will be made by AI. Students will not study coding, the knowledge of our generation will be lost. Given the echo chamber of HN when it comes to AI that certainly seems inevitable. The question is - who would wo

Humans do have capacity for deductive reasoning and understanding, at least. Which helps. LLMs do not. So would you trust somebody who can reason or somebody who can guess?

Sounds like eventually we will end up in a situations where engineers/developers will end up on an AI spectrum: - No ai engineers - Minimal AI autocomplete engineers - Simple agentic developers - Vibe coders who review code they get -

You're not missing much. Seems to me like they wrote 150k lines of code for some glorified photo app with ChatGPT in the backend for image processing. Oh and some note-taking it seems.

> that's self-harming because you lose out on all the benefits. This is some big stretch in reasoning. Four years ago we were not harming ourselves by not having AI and writing code ourselves. At most you're hurting your abilit

More like X-times daily. Where X is a function of how much money Company Y need to get from investors this week to continue training and running LLM models.

by Ronsenshi 9mo ago
Why is not using LLMs self harming? We've been writing code without help of LLMs for many decades just fine.
