They get to feel like hackerman without understanding any of it. Also, this feels like a security nightmare. I wouldn't self host anything without understanding what you're opening yourself up to.

I had a failing work laptop that had bad battery power and finally just said fine, give me a Mac. The battery and build quality is the only good thing I can say about it. I absolutely hate the OS, despite using MacOS in the past and felt on

The point I am making is that this is supposed to be some revolutionary tool that threatens our very society in terms of labor and economics yet the fringe enthusiasts (yes, that is what HN and its users are, an extreme minority of users),

I share your experience. Additionally, I am surprised anyone on this site did not see this progression coming. Between costs, the race to be THE provider, and anyone who has an awareness of how the tech industry has been operating the last

Every time this is what I'm told. The difference between learning how to Google properly and then the amount of hoops and in-depth understanding you need to get something useful out of these supposedly revolutionary tools is absurd. I

You think predictive models are good for where objectivity is consequential? Like it would be in a police report?

Fair enough, but it has been stated over and over that OpenAI's (as well as others) plan for profit is subscriptions. If their revenue predictions are based on that, then like others have said, it is mathematically impossible. Have you

I mean, if so then they are lying through their teeth.

I'm curious about this claim. What about agents sending emails to each other is good?

Ah, credibility attacks. Nice.

But this sounds like hubris and user error, then, and not a language discussion at all?

Okay, fair that since the majority of the codebase is C and that 150 vulnerabilities is probably negligible in comparison since we're talking about ratios, but if we're to be THAT nuanced then we also need to consider that code ha

by dannersy 10mo ago
There are lots of vulnerabilities in the C code, too. Should we remove C or do we accept that fact that no language is perfect since they are used by humans and continue to make improvements and use tools that help us along as time goes for

This attitude just furthers our race to the bottom. I agree with iteration, but software quality is getting really laughable. I know we're still on the better side of what existed in the hands of consumers in the 90s, but anyway... Exe

Right. So what you're saying is, Silicon Valley and America at large should just not operate in Europe? Got it. Actually, that sounds awesome, keep your AI out of here.

Agreed. "Value" and monetary gain over ethics every time. Nothing can compete with a system where you pursue capital at all costs, even at the expense of human life, in a world where money is power.

Yeah, I do not think AI as the tech industry knows it will bring this future, but as you say, the conversation ends immediately when you bring the implications of their goals and claims. Another huge issue that particularly Anthropic and Op

I have speculated something similar to this. The sentiment on HN on AI is way more positive about its outcomes than the engineers I know who use it intimately every day. Anecdotal, sure, but one would think that their experiences would not

Good. Maybe we can end tech sycophancy by sending all the tech elite boot lickers there. They can circularly pat themselves on the back about how amazing they are and pass around crypto.

I will never understand people who bash someone's preference of a language after claiming they don't understand people who bash other languages for their syntax. Turns out language syntax preferences are subjective and most likely

> This makes Rust hard, because you can’t just do the thing! I'm a bit of a Rust fanboy because of writing so much Go and Javascript in the past. I think I just got tired of all the footguns and oddities people constantly run into

I often find we don't appreciate enough people accepting their failures and changing their mind. For some reason I see the opposite: people respecting those who "stick to their guns" or double down when something is clearly w

I cannot tell if it is domain knowledge, the type of programming, or the industry you're in, but I get the feeling we live in completely different worlds despite our similar responsibilities (working with SaaS, hiring devs, etc). I get

I absolutely loathe when someone is looking over my shoulder. Additionally, the software for pairing is so good and being able to be help and annotate while the main "driver" can focus on solving the problem is immensely fruitful

This is either performance art or rage bait. The opinions here are so wild. There are so many claims here that are wrong and just strange, it is hard to know where to start.

Honestly? Sounds like incompetence. I have never had issues with GDPR compliance. If their business is using people's data in an irresponsible or intrusive way, then they probably shouldn't succeed. The engineering problems it int

You're advocating for anti-consumer practices. In response to your strawman, one can easily say that they don't pay for updates to their operating system. So there is clearly a line where we, as consumers, draw a line, right? And

How old are you? I'm convinced this is an important detail. I hosted a LAN party when I was in my early twenties when higher hz monitors were getting more popular in specifically the gaming scene. My buddy and I were playing a match of

While I would like to champion AMD a bit more because Nvidia has been doing some anti consumer shenanigans, I have to say that at this point, the Linux support is good. It is a bit of a myth or perhaps just outdated info that if you want to
