You can feel how you feel and understand how and why people feel how they feel too. Instead, reads like you're blaming the victim. Shoulda worked harder in school!

So I love watching 50s-70s television shows: honeymooners, I love lucy, twilight zone, alfred hitchcock, Mission Impossible, Columbo. (recent MeTV lineup). I'm a millennial. It occurred to just the other day, the language they use, the

It's not. It's no more conscious than running that cron job to send you today's weather. That's as far as I understand what this link is. The agent is posting blog updates and such. Because it was told to. It has no will

yeah that's true. i used the word addiction because i remember reading him using that exact word. and including tokens and llms alongside the rise of gambling and such. but i could be wrong.

He's very transparent about his addiction to agentic coding. He's doing it for the giggles as far as I can tell. Trolling and being a personality. I don't mean that in a bad kind of assessment. He's said as much.

The most concise answer as of now is because AI has no "will". LLMs are objectively smarter than any one person so in some definition we've already created super-intelligence. The problem is they just sit there. They have all

All is not lost though is it? We can invest our efforts into local models and frontier competitors. I'm not blind, I have Claude pro (not max) and Cursor subscription. But I'm really hesitant to go balls to the wall on the most p

I agree with your assessment that the harness is incredible and so I get a ton of mileage out of Auto + Composer 2. This is my workhorse. Admittedly, with Opus 4.6+, GPT 5.5 I just haven't used them much and as I gain more experience I

that's a lot of speculation based on one year of data. We don't actually have the results yet, is the main issue as i understand.

You're right. ive struggled to understand what exactly this means, in large part perhaps it's so often misused? I think it means something like we're trapped in the constraints of the medium. Tweets say more about the environ

i think you're talking about trending vs popular. The signals are working as intended. More people will know Kim K than Sweeney because Kim K is more popular and has had more time to be more popular. why am i talking about kim k on hn

When you say "it generates flowchart diagrams…" what exactly is generating them? Is it built into cloudflare workers or is it something your team created?

Ambient agents premise lands and is thought provoking. But the more you read the article the more the point is lost. The prescriptions given aren't ambient? CLI: a good command-line interface makes it easy for an agent loop to in

Super cool writeup from a technology perspective. And a motivator to build more tools, play with MCP and try out Claude routines. The product pitch is also really clear. Good job all around. Now for the criticism: back in the day mint.com

I didn't want to even try it because of similar. ("immigrant mentality" they call it around here. it's not a pejorative. TLDR: frugal because starting life over) and it's really slow. I didn't end up waiting.

same. i finally tried Claude Code and i just shrugged. Cursor definitely has a clunky UI with an identity crisis, but it pioneered plan mode, and auto / composer chugs along without rate limits for the most part. Opus, I watch my allot

Am I the only one that thinks Composer is really good, when you factor in the speed and the cost?

You might be onto something. I find every image unsettling. they're very good no doubt, but maybe it disturbs me because all of it is a complete copy of what someone else created. I know, I know, there is no pure invention. That's

Downvotes because nobody actually wants this. Those image uses serve a purpose to an external audience. The audience doesn't want this shit. Now of course I'm being dramatically absolute. I'm sure I already consume these thin

Yes, all said, developers likely are the worst communicators because they over index on their self-ascribed strengths: logic (and logic bullying). Not so much because they aren't smart or capable. But singling out specific archetypes i

It is! If I contort a little, the Tower of Babel is the communication problem in reverse. But original sin means we're born sinners so towards effective communication is toward God. But that's not the point of life, the point is s

Sounds like innovator's dilemma + a quote i saw recently: Former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher: “Consensus ... is the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved.” I buy that inevitably the system becomes it&#x27

Agree with the problem but this list reads like a vent. Communicating effectively is the central problem of all humanity! This vent criticizes developers for not knowing how to listen. that's why it comes off condescending. The root pr

Render is really good at this too. I specifically chose "not Vercel" when looking into hosting. Though I haven't tried both to compare: render has been a pleasure, just works, and auto deploys per branch also available.
