I know we are not supposed to comment on the quality of comments but how on Earth is this Reddit-level comment on the top? HN was supposed to be above low-effort knee-jerk reactions such as this one.

I'd argue LLM coding agents are still bad at many more things. But to comment on the two problems raised in the post: > LLMs don’t copy-paste (or cut and paste) code. The article is confusing the architectural layers of AI coding ag

Creating an OS is fun. It's the drivers and hardware support in general that get you. Thankless grind without which you get nowhere.

Since the title isn't very informative, here's a tldr: > Is 90% of code going to be written by AI? I don’t know. What I do know is, that for me, on this project, the answer is already yes. [...] At the same time, for me, AI doe

Ars has fallen a long way from what they used to be (I say this as a former subscriber). Expect clickbait articles, shallow tech coverage, rabid commenters (I don't visit the forum but the comments were previously - mostly - of higher

You're replying to a person saying "exercise doesn't spend enough energy [...] if you want to lose weight" by referencing "lean 68kg runners". Do you think they want to lose weight?

I love how the common consensus in comments here is not "what should we do in our societies to increase the number of old people in good health?" but "they're lying".

I agree, but it might prevent the person entering that state due to encouragement from the AI? We don't require licenses for knives because a psychotic person may injure themselves or others.

As in informing the public, not adding to the school curriculum. A sustained collaborative effort by the AI makers, (local) governments and journalists could work, IMHO. Instead AI makers hype it up, governments have no clue wtf is going on

The right way to deal with this is education. 1. We should be educating the populace about failure modes of AI chatbots - something well known to HNers but not to the general public. 2. CEOs, pundits, and marketers should be held accountabl
