I don’t think this is true. There’s plenty of signals for trust - if pgrust keep pouring time, money, and effort into this and get people actually using it even in non critical workloads, it’ll snowball from there. Imagine 2 years from now

For me now it’s simply cost and speed. With GPT5.6 and Fable (and respective open models since then) we passed a threshold where intelligence is sufficient. Now I just need speed of iteration and good prices.

Yeah but... Both things are true. LLMs are doing things we would have considered absolute AGI god tier magic 5 years ago. They also still can't count to 100 yet.

Whether they should or shouldn't is a worthy question that they have no influence over. Taking the initiative and supporting the software they rely on is a good step in the meantime while we argue on HN about whether it's optimal

I think this makes as dominate other species even more. Society, and especially market capitalism, is like a giant optimization function for productivity. If you step off the treadmill, you will get dominated by those who are on it and have

I’ve been vibe coding apps professionally for the last year and 100% agree with your first take. I really underestimated how much work there is in what I just call the “coordination” of developing software. Users pointing out things that ar

This post makes me feel grief. I mean no offence to you OP, this looks like a beautiful desktop and I am sure there was a lot of time put into this. But just sharing my grief. 3 years ago if I saw a post on the HN front page about a desktop

Ok in terms of running a 2.8T parameter model, that's true. Looking more broadly though, a model I can run on my laptop (Gemma 4) is ~4 points away from GPT-5.3 codex or Sonnet 4.5 on arena.ai LLM leaderboard. Those models were SOTA le

Does anyone else feel like the writing is on the wall for a future of local models? Spamming data centres everywhere, powering them, having to commit insane capital to hardware, all the effort to serve inference over a network reliably - wh

It boils down to this: Nobody is willing to bet against AI right now. If you're an investor, you're probably managing other people's money. Would you want to explain to your customers if & when you were wrong, why you d

Pretty close, they're very close to Heroku in spirit except the new wave of hosted backends (Vercel, and to a lesser extent Supabase and Cloudflare Workers) are much more tightly integrated with the app layer. You can almost think of t

That's a fair response. I could see how some folks would benefit. I suppose what bothers me more is that they don't actually seem pedagogical in nature, they seem promotional.

I don't think it's meant to be mean or divisive, he clearly had trouble dating and he feels his conservative Christian upbringing was partially responsible for that. If you think he's wrongly attributing it to those things, f

Props to Andrew for a refreshing and optimistic message in what is an increasingly uncertain and scary industry to be in. Appreciate you Andrew!

If the bar is knowing how to type a question into a box, I'm confident almost everyone is better off starting with that then reading a "cookbook" that starts with installing python packages.

Gotta be honest, almost every "how to use AI" resource seems pointless to me. I'm either going to ask the AI how to do it, or if it's about using the AI then we can just bake it into the harness or wait for Anthropic&#x2

This is pretty cool. I could see a future where these kinds of techniques become the norm, and the role of "animator" becomes less about hand drawing animations and more stylistic and taste choices, with I guess the occasional inv

This isn't useful advice for addictive things that have high short term reward and high long term regret though. Especially so when the other party has a strong incentive to keep you trapped in that loop of regret.

All word of mouth from former colleagues, friends and family, who gave me a warm intro to people looking to have someone come talk to them. Good luck!!

I don't think irresponsible is the right word, but it has drastically reduced Bun's appeal. All the tools we use have a brand to them, and Bun basically changed their brand overnight to "reckless" in my eyes.

Ah I hadn't considered the case of querying an API call rather than DB one. That makes perfect sense. Thanks!

I'd guess you're maybe working on more established codebases then? I see this regularly with my clients. I work in sprints and they pay for my time, so they will often deprioritise engineering/robustness work if it's tak

> The larger point is that while AI coding tools make it easy to pump out lots of code, it’s really (still) the quality of the code that matters This conclusion is unsupported from the observations. The code makes lots of requests, has t

You can also pg_cron refresh a materialised view every minute which seems similar.

I haven't really used redis much so curious to hear your perspective - this seems the opposite to me? A materialised view is just taking the data I already have and rendering it in a different way to speed up my access patterns. It&#x2

You should be kinder to people if you want them to come around to your way of thinking.

They have a surprising amount of enterprise revenue and mindshare, of which xAI has literally none.

I’d push back on this, I think people have a very intrinsic sense of what is valuable and often if you think it’s “perception” of value being rewarded, it’s just that you value something different than that person. Even in performative scen
