That's why I am looking forward to be a 70 year old demanding tons of money for doing the things I came to love and was cut off by AI. What a bright future! But the rest is a big no from my side. "In hindsight" - Southpark, p

I like the guy’s stubbornness. We all have been there. I understand his account as releasing daily frustration in a constructive way. We all hate/love Jira, Excel whatever but the alternatives are worse and instead of one bad solution

“In the future there might be the possibility that catastrophic event A could happen.” Not the best argument. Also there is nothing without dependencies. Loose coupling means coupling.

I ignore any hype news. Anthropic is the embodiment of bullshitting to me. I read Cialdini many decades ago and I am bored by Anthropic. OpenAI is very clever. With the advent of Claude OpenAI disappeared from the headlines. Who or what was

I trust Google more than any government with my data. One needs security to survive the other couldn’t care less. Google selling data? So far no one came to blackmail me for certain dispositions, while the other does as they want, IRS, fore

I think the forensic work looks on the wrong aspects. If this guy was really this monster created and protected by intelligence until he wasn't anymore, these traces might be intentionally? More compelling are possible aliases. That&#x

Judging through a behavioral scientist lenses, this is pretty exciting. Don't get me wrong. It is not to applaud here, it is simply fascinating looking through a factual lens here. And maybe there will be more questions than answers. A

Vercel did a great job with NextJS and supports quite some OS projects. But even before AI they had some serious struggles according to long time users. With the introduction of the deployment platform NextJS appeared to be having advantage

I see your point but reconsider: we will and need to see. Time will tell and this is simply economics: useful? Yes, no. I started being totally indifferent after thinking about my spending habits to check for unnecessary stuff after watchin

We need to flip the script. AI is trying to do marketing: add “illegal usage will lead to X” is a gateway to spark curiosity. There is this saying that censoring games for young adults makes sure that they will buy it like crazy by circumve

Processing power, not training. The larger the scene in 2ď the more you need to compute. The resolution itself is not flexible. Imagine painting a white canvas. It is still a pixel per pixel algo which costs LLM GPU power while being the ea

Yep. Some are while others are more or less forum leeching and exploiting known risks and use tools. But the some that really find certain bugs are really exceptional. Almost all are very hardware prolific and do assembler stuff. This alone

Lovable was a TailwindCSS recombinator, that’s it. Lately it is more and more ShadCN as well. TailwindCSS is a masterpiece but ironically doesn’t really get its fare share while “Build on top of TW” frameworks make money. TailwindCSS is the

I knew a guy who did 6510 and 68000 assembler for many years and had a hard time using higher order languages as well as DSLs. “Only assembler is real code. Everything else is phony, bloat for what can be done way better with a fraction of

Codex really has its place in my bag. I mainly use it, rarely Claude. Codex just gets it done. Very self-correcting by design while Claude has no real base line quality for me. Claude was awesome in December, but Codex is like a corporate c

Juggling is so much fun! I use 3 balls and felt like it was easy, when you know where to start and simply follow the process step by step. Memory Masters draw me to it, and I found some super normal niche Streamers showing what to do. Juggl

Wonderful gift, even though I gave it a pass and saved on the sound card. Mine was the 486 DX 2/66. The trouble with the 486 SX 25 was IMO that a fast 386 easily beat it. I was part of the demo scene back then and wanted to compete wit

Bad. But scientists faked data and told people it wasn’t is ok? Nature had to recall quite some papers. I hope that we all keep the balance.

I side with you but on the other hand: this is how it works to get attention by those who aren't affiliated with computer science and AI. I am totally annoyed as well and put any buzzwords in my personal bs filter. Java was revolutiona

Sadly, there is a rift now since quite a few hackers are left leaning and therefore are by definition activists. 80th, 90th were the last time were hacking was a means to an end. C64 and Amiga scene had skindheads showing up at copy parties

What constitutes a Wordpress Site? The 3 page hobby site or the 100th of pages of a large company? There is a reason why Wordpress is (open source!) dominating the space ever since or more precisely, many niches. To be honest, I had my fair

The dude is right and I strongly side with him however, what is missing is that I oscillate like the TV megahertz that powered the first commercial Pang games between states and this open the space for more grey in between altered states li

I see no point in this project. There ain’t any examples for the usage the author states his project is made for. 389 tokens saved? Ok. Since I pay per million tokens, what is the ratio here? Is there are any downside associated with output

The funny thing I recognized is that I don’t care posting what AI created. It is something someone did and if it meets certain criteria I post it - but extremely rarely and not on HN. On the other hand I am way stricter and harder on myself

Exactly. 12-16 was predominantly on the producer side. The hidden deciding factor nevertheless was time. And that affected the whole production cycle: coding, graphics, music, crunching, copying, spreading (postal services!). We had way mor

Please walk the walk. You never worked in a corporate environment. It is just as the author said: developers are a pretty new phenomenon after all in these companies and are after all suspiciously treated because of leakage. And as long as
