These are all local, though - if ideas were all that mattered, we'd see widely available ones, too. I am not seeing them. (I would love to be proven wrong, because "how well does this work for not-one-off software" is a reall

Yes, we're all very excited for the many AI-created projects that have been created outside the shovel-selling business.... wait. There are none.

I mean, let's take the easy lay-up - why Mondrian's "Composition No. II, with Red and Blue" actually is a very important painting: ( https://www.moma.org/collection/works/79816 from your list) -

If they are "indistinguishable" from those book covers, I strongly suggest visiting an optometrist. You may not enjoy modern art, and that's fine - but most of it runs circles around modern book covers. The latter are optimiz

Pushing by any chance your own project? And forgetting to mention gnod is yet another midwit AI recommendation system for bland averaged out taste for the masses?

They really don't. They only make it "more complicated" if you have absolutely no clue and thought typing "make it so" in a chat window is all you need. Every single failure here is precipitated by user stupidity. N

Best part: The guy's "training engineers to use AI in production environments". And it's not all Claude Code - loved the part where he decided, mid disaster recovery, that that would be a good time to simplify his load b

Counterpoint: I've been desperately trying to code myself out of a job for almost 4 decades now. I inevitably ended up (and keep ending up) getting more responsibilities instead. So have all the great engineers I've been working w

Humans tend to not breathe in a lot of stratospheric aerosols, on account of that being pretty high up. As they sink down, they grow larger (condensation & coagulation). Once they reach the troposphere, they usually get down via precipi

"Kanon 2 Enricher is an architectural masterpiece" If you need to say it, any halfway seasoned engineer will assume it's not true. Also, you really want to tell people how to access it and what it costs. Or put up a "cal

If we could move past the empty rhetoric? It turns out a working economy requires well paid workers because somebody needs to buy shit Even "capitalist overlords" (why not "evil bourgeois swine", while we're here)

Sure. Or you might step out the door and a fridge falls on you. Equally likely. Yes, it's an exploit. It should be fixed. But the endless hyperventilating over fringe exploits mostly has the effect that people now ignore all security c

I'd suggest to move even beyond "engage/ignore". This is HN. The focus should be "does this person provide interesting or thought provoking comments", not "relationships" or "engagement". Th

You are free to build tools that emit/ingest json, and provide a json schema upon request. The point is push vs pull.

That is the same team that has an app that used React for TUI, that uses gigabytes to have a scrollback buffer, and that had text scrolling so slow you could get a coffee in between. And that then had the gall to claim writing a TUI is as h

Likely, at least for some. I've caught various chatbots/CLI harnesses more than once inspecting a github repo file by file (often multiple times, because context rot) But the sheer volume makes it unlikely that's the only rea

That's somewhat unfair to the site - they are very much still exploring how to visualize information understandably and aesthetically pleasing. Yes, they got started when infographics got really popular, but it's very much a site

"I don't care whether it's a good or bad thing" is not really a believable statement given your polemic closings.

If you believe "costly autocomplete" is all you get, you absolutely shouldn't bother. You're opting for "sorry boss, it's going to take me 10 times as long, but it's going to be loving craftsmanship, not i

Yeah, it goes back to 2021 for California for a list of 15 fires or so - and we have 120 current ones, so probably not a good explanation.

And the shades in between account for the large number of new licensing schemes sprouting, with different restrictions on what is and isn't possible. (Not to mention the large number of "just used it anyways" instances). And

You can only fix that with leverage. The sudo maintainer doesn't have it. sudo is valuable, but if Todd stepped away, you could (and would) find other maintainers because it's so important. If you want to fix it, you need organiza

That's a nice slogan, but how does it work? Say, I clone sudo. Clearly, a human applying freedom zero. I use it in my projects. Probably still freedom zero. I use it in my CI pipeline for the stuff that makes me money... corporation or
