You've seen Sam Altman's interviews, yet you still think him a competent man? I think he's rather the embodiment of the death of meritocracy as an idea.

Your dad owning the company?

This is an "uh oh" moment, isn't it?

Surely this is automated. They wouldn't waste precious dollars on employing humans just to keep other humans happy.

They learn if they have to, like we always did. In-person exams (proctored) are good for testing that.

How are people still deluded enough about this economic system to believe rank implies competence?

It also used to be that reddit comments were the epitome of quality in their time, much closer to current HN if not better. I attributed that to the voting mechanism; clearly I was mistaken.

Other commenters laughing at you for the price... It's not about the price it's about the barrier. Even if I love a service, I won't get very many people to try it if they need to enter a credit card.

I seem to remember that's one of the first things they tried, but the general models tended to win out. Turns out there's more to learn from all code/discussions than from just JS.

Indeed, Python's version format is semver but it's just aesthetics, they remove stuff in most (every?) minor version. Just yesterday I wasted hours trying to figure out a bug before realizing my colleague hadn't read the patch notes.

Took them this long to realize MCPs are just worse APIs.

I'm not scared that my skills will be obsolete, I'm scared employers will think they are. The labor market was already irrational enough as it was.

Well, I've worked as a developer in many companies and have never met a DBA. I've met tons of devops, who are just rebranded sysadmins as far as anyone can tell.

Imagine this for a whole neighborhood! Maybe it'd be more efficient for the transport to come at regular intervals though. And while we're at it, let's pick up other people along the way, you'll need a bigger vehicle though, perhaps bus-sized...

Half-jokes aside, if you don't own it, you'll end up paying more to the robotaxi company than you would have paid to own the car. This is all but guaranteed based on all SaaS services so far.

Marvel movies is the worst example, it's a roller coaster ride, not a movie. I agree any braindead idiot or machine could write one. But they couldn't know to write The Pianist or how the subject could be approached or why it's time to write it.

AI can make slop yes, but it can't make the kind of art people don't get tired of. It's the difference between wisdom and knowledge.

Let's say, just for the sake of argument, that AI can eventually serve to level the playing field for everything. It outputs novels, paintings, screenplays - whatever you ask it for - of such high quality that they can't be discerned from the best human-created works.

This requires the machine to understand a whole bunch of things. You're talking about AGI, at that point there will be blood in the streets and screenplays will be the least of our problems.

Truly a "why say many words" title!

Of all the packaging systems to do this with, npm is certainly one of them.

I recently witnessed one such potential fuckup. The AI had written functioning code, except one of the business rules was misinterpreted. It would have broken in a few months time and caused a massive outage. I imagine many such time bombs are being deployed in many companies as we speak.

So UBI + universal healthcare? Sign me up!

As it was foretold since the beginning, IA use is breaking security wantonly.

You might say the problem CloudFlare is causing is lesser than the ones it's solving, but you can't say they're not causing a new, separate problem.

That they're trying counts for brownie points, it's not an excuse to be satisfied with something that still bothers a lot of people. Do better, CloudFlare.

This is pretty interesting to me, as I do use Grafana in my current role. But none of their other products, and not their helm chart (we're on the Bitnami chart if that's a thing).

So far it's pretty good. We're at least one major version behind, but hey everything still works.

I cannot imagine other products support as many data sources (though I'm starting to think they all suck, I just dump what I can in InfluxDB).

The room is not doing anything of the sort.

Do you believe the same thing about psychiatrists? How are we to deal with mental illness?

Psychologists are a myth?

Isn't the whole problem that it's nigh-impossible to isolate context from input?

The "vibe coding" in the title is almost invisible for me on mobile (Firefox). I immediately thought "yeah, that tracks". I'm not saying this is fair but I think the first order of business for any such initiative should be to differentiate "vibe coding" and "bad coding", as they are pretty inextricably linked in my mind (and I dare say most devs' minds).

+17 human+friendly, I guess I don't care what computers think lol.
