Like what? Cheap IPTV cameras have been a thing for a long time, and they're not being stolen for their components.

Very cool, enjoying it so far. Did you use LLMs for coding?

That's just a non sequitur. Compare the scale of datacenter construction in the past decades vs the pace post 2022. Also the general computing datacenters of the past are vastly different in societal utility vs the GPU only AI datacent

That's a big advantage of remote work. I can pause for a couple of minutes, interact with my kids, and come back.

How on Earth does this just have 2 comments? The "Claude is hiding this" angle ( https://archive.is/20260815141158/https://www.wsj.com/tech/a... ) alone should be frontpage for days.

Because a large portion of people are in this industry for the high salaries only, and always disliked the actual job of programming. Those people welcome LLM coding with open arms.

Agree with the dread, but the point is often just making money so one can survive. While the jobs might be meaningless in an ontological sense, the surplus value is very real. All the billionaire yachts are there to prove it

"Anthropic AI Leader Quits to Pursue Poetry" "I'm leaving OpenAI to build telepathy" I feel new a trope is being born.

>‘Tech’ culture has gotten very, very weird. It’s turned sour. It’s so far past the point where I no longer feel the joy and excitement and liberatory potential of computing. I’m not even that old. What happened? It always had that edge.

No, AI is more like: people do know what it is good for, but that's immaterial because hundreds of billions of dollars of debt were poured into it, such that the only glimmer of hope of getting an ROI out of it is force-feeding AI ever

>The general way technology is deployed is that we try to find ways to make it work, because those are the most interesting. That's not the way AI is being deployed. At all.

That's bizarre. What does his manager think of that? I can't fathom keeping around someone that is basically a chatbot interface.

>Can't have been much, as the Chrome project is 20+ years old and LLMs have only recently become a thing That's not a great argument. GPT3.5 was launched over 4 years ago, so that's already significant compared to Chrome&#

Okay, now how many bugs would have been fixed if Google had spent $130B (Google's AI capex) in human resources instead of AI? Just to have a sense of proportion, considering an average software engineer salary of $200k, that same money

That was somewhat my first point - kids, especially younger, want things all the time. Its fine to ignore most of it. Catering to every wish of a toddler is silly. Unfortunately it seems a lot of parents tend to do more of that than seems h

I don't get it either. What's wrong with Terminal and tmux, screen or what have you? I don't get the whole GPU rendering thing for ghostty either. Its a terminal emulator. It shows plain text. Why would I need GPU acceleratio

You have to be wealthy to have the luxury of not worrying about money. Unless you're a monk. Mere mortals don't have the luxury of not caring about not having a job or money Amazing that this has to be spelt out. Peak hn.

I don't understand these comments. Are we living in the same reality? Do you not get the same interviews from the new oligarchy promising the end of white collar jobs?

Isn't that a bit like asking Why don't we all be nice to each other, wouldn't the world be a better place?
