Nobody really cares about externalized costs. If they did, then cars, electricity, lithium batteries, etc wouldn't be as popular as they are.

Local first models like qwen 3.8 are surprisingly capable even on an M1 MacBook Pro with 32GB of RAM. SOTA is not the only game in town

Why? Does it bother you to see people using their own devices in the ways that they want?

It's amazing to see LLMs give us software and hardware freedoms that the open source movement has only ever dreamed about.

This is patently false, see Tao’s recent use of ChatGPT regarding the Jacobian conjecture.

The greed is as endless as the earth is old.

This argument, while totally valid, will never halt the build out of data centers nor hamper the development of AI.

What’s implied here is that devs were supposed to optimize for user resources, not for developer convenience.

shitty is a perfectly cromulent name.

Didn't ask, don't care.

It's not the despair, it's the turnabout. Reading proofs containing the language that I mentioned seemed to suggest that the ideas were trivial to the author in a way that implied their superior intelligence. Now AI has come alo

I’m also a human expressing genuine emotion. Why is one more valid than the other?

by compiler-devel 2mo ago
I can’t help but confess some sense of satisfaction with the upheaval described in the post. Many proofs and textbooks laden with statements like “without loss of generality”, “immediately”, or “obviously” are followed by anything but. AI

by compiler-devel 2mo ago
There are so many neat use cases like this one that I'm skeptical of the AI-is-a-dot-com-bubble naysayers. Not to mention that, unlike in 2000, technical-adjacent people can now get a reasonable approximation of their ideas running qu

I've never had a problem with any CDs, even my old Quake CD from about 30 years ago. Probably there's an issue with your drive or the disc wasn't stored well.

Indeed. Things are looking very bleak for software engineering as a specialization. It's been clear for years that Capital has been desperate to crack the software development nut, so to speak. Starting about 15 years ago, the inten

I did the same thing with Ghost of Tsushima because I heard that the PS5 version had performance problems.

by compiler-devel 3mo ago
The PS5 will be my last Sony console. The PS4 probably should've been my last, but I got caught up in the new generation hype cycle. The PS5 has, practically speaking, no games. It hosts a lot of ports from other systems, but the nu

I don’t understand the bipolar nature on hacker news towards LLMs. On the one hand, they’re destroying the art of software development and we shouldn’t use them. But on the other hand, there’s a lot of excitement around running them locally

Because HN is little more than a Reddit exclave.

If we’re just another animal that can program computers, then I don’t feel bad about the take over of AI and LLMs as we’re nothing special in the evolutionary climb upwards.

What is the future of software engineering in the age of LLMs?

Apple's acknowledged their anniversary for weeks, especially during the recent product launches like the Neo. It started back in mid March [0]. [0] https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/03/apple-to-celebra

Are you running Apple Silicon now? I’m still on an intel machine with Sequoia. I doubt that I’ll upgrade it to Tahoe this fall and stick with it until Sequoia stops receiving security updates. Then I’ll have to upgrade hardware I guess… ho

Sometime around High Sierra, I changed my habit such that I don't upgrade to the next major release until August. By then, it's been patched a half dozen times or so. Yes, I'm basically a year behind all the time, but I don

Nice name, I suppose it recalls Apple’s Rhapsody project.

> It simply requires putting a stop to the constant brainwashing campaigns for inducing demand. Unfortunately, there are C-suite level roles for this so it will never stop.
