> If all you know is how to build, and you just use AI as an excuse to keep building more and more and more, you are just procrastinating and avoiding reality. I’ve had this sense about AI for a while now and this articulates that feelin

Why? Seems like open weight models keep catching up to state of the art within a few months, at most. Doesn’t seem like much of a moat to me.

HN has been split on this question, with both pro and con strongly and vigorously argued.

Why are those things not reasoning? They are narrow and limited, but still primitive forms of reasoning.

Is there a point you’re trying to make?

The problem isn’t guns. The problem is bullets, which guns just happen to make go very fast.

Then everyone just starts running open weight models locally.

You got my vote!

Not everyone is a software professional. How many non developers know what a “sandbox” is?

No. First term he lost the popular vote, second term he won it. If you just mean a majority of eligible voters did not vote for Trump, that’s true for every US President in my lifetime.

Just interesting to see Claude’s hourly rate is around $17. Much cheaper than a human software engineer. But comparable to the wages for some human workers.

That sounds lovely and a much more adult work environment than locking down everyone’s laptop.

That’s very dangerous, The only truth is running the tools from the shell. Plugins are great conveniences and productivity enhancers. But if your devs can’t use the command line to build your software, you need to stop everything and teac

Start sending out your resume and reaching out to your network about other jobs. Any company that anally controls every last software developers can install is a dead man walking. At least the software development part of the company. Gett

How the hell would you know his true intentions? Fast compile times is one of the most important qualities for developer productivity. It made Haskell a non-starter for many developers even before LLM driven development took off.

by jimbokun 3mo ago
Maybe overly verbose but makes an important point. Slow compile times should have been a deal breaker for how they impacted human coders. LLM coding just makes the problem more stark.

In US at least much of the high cost is completely self inflicted, driven by Byzantine bureaucratic processes mostly unrelated to the actual engineering requirements necessary for building a safe reactor.

Language design has almost nothing to do with language popularity. People learn JavaScript or TypeScript because they want to write web apps. Swift or Objective C to write iOS or Mac apps. SQL because there’s a database they need to get d

You don’t. You trust that passing the regression tests means you are totally compatible with the original version.

I’m sure a lot of early employees convinced themselves Facebook had positive social value in addition to making them rich. That was the default mindset in the early days of the web.
