The issue is, of course, that the quality of work is not good, and this will eventually show itself, likely in the total collapse of the US economy, but until then I wish them good luck with this.

This is NOT a misplaced rant, this is a very good description of what I feel as well. You've put it very well.

After saying that Fable 5 solved issues he was stuck on for months, he follows it up admitting that he hasn't tried GPT 5.5. I like separating the art from the artist in cases like this; he's clearly made very cool things in the p

Who cares if it can be evaluated independently? The majority of commenters on HN were happy to vibe code and ship products with the models we had 1-2 years ago. It continues to be laughable. I understand that moving the goalpost every relea

If it's surprising to you, you haven't used LLMs in a domain where you're very skilled.

Yes. Hiring people has various benefits, I will lay them out for you: - They learn the domain of your product, which means long term ownership and knowledge establishes itself. If you've only ever shipped SaaS slop, you might not know,

Do you understand that, for 10-20k a month, you can hire 1-2 senior engineers AND give them Claude subscriptions?

Zig has defer, your point is quite invalid.

by lionkor 5mo ago
On modern OSs you can write Zig and just ignore allocation errors. It doesn't force you to handle them properly. This language exists to supercede or supplement C, not JavaScript or C#. It's practical applicability is similar to t

Zig is in the space of languages where an abstraction that decides that memory allocations are irrecoverable is not good enough. If you work in an environment where memory allocations can't fail or can't be handled if they fail, y

I suspect this is due to fatigue. I admit I often post low quality replies under AI slop posts, simply because flagging them does nothing when they are somehow upvoted above and beyond anything human made. This fatigue also causes a lot of

It sucks that this article is clearly LLM edited, with common phrases like "same shape as", "the intuition: ", and the "tiny explainer" which clearly generalized from a prompt accidentally. Good article, but wh

I built a little home server last year, and only put 32 of the total 64 GB I wanted. The rationale was that RAM is cheap, and I could spend that month's fun budget on a 8TB harddrive instead. Boy do I ever regret that. Every time I com

It's very, very questionable if people want the situation we have. I have yet to meet anyone in person who is really excited about AI. Of course it's useful, but at this cost? Claiming people want this is like claiming that people

The first is quite famous in data oriented design/programming circles, the second one is up there, too. Both very much worth watching.

> People want this, the demand is there. It's impossible to avoid using AI multiple times a day, just because it's forced into every product under the sun. That is NOT demand. None of those users WANT this.

Broken record here to announce that there are countries that have labor laws that protect employees, which you can take an example from or move to.

I understand that there's frustration with MSRC, but surely the right move is to keep doing things right to the best of your abilities. Like, disclose it, wait a week, publish it. That seems, to me, like it would avoid almost all the b

I'm sorry, but are we still going on about this? I love a good debate as much as the next guy, but being able to just have one interface (systemd's) for all services and having a more-or-less consistent language really helps. At t
