Only 1.7? I got $55B up from 41 cents.

I literally almost had a heart attack today.

But don't forget the vast majority of people can't produce masterpieces.

I'm guessing you never hit this issue then, but it's a real issue. Whether or not it's in the RFC as a hard limit it doesn't matter, no HTTP server will allow unlimited sized URIs.

You simply can't base64 large payloads and you're stuck with workarounds.

Definitely. We should ignore it and it'll go away by not going into these damn climate conferences. There are so many of them!

What did they expect would happen? Trump to just continue funding these people that hate him?

So you believe it's expected that a president will de-fund everything that supports their opposing party? I'm sure that's a totally great idea that won't cause any issues whatsoever.

American politics are so absurd.

Can I sue these companies if they don't remove me?

Do they even care if I'm not from their countries of origin?

This always felt like theater to me. They say "we deleted it, trust me bro" and we're supposed to believe it?

IDK anything about 3d printing, but is their online service so complicated that people can't create an open source self hosted alternative? If they can already take the LAN version and send spoofed requests to their servers, they can do the same to a new fully open server.

Surely people can check the traffic and build a server to answer similarly, no? Or is this much more than job management?

Maybe this is impossible and I'm talking out of my ass, but for me it seems like a perfect opportunity to completely remove the problematic party from the equation.

Nice video but the expectations vs reality is brutal: provide it with an actual PDF with a design system, wait for 30min and the entire thing is stuck.

You talk to it, it consumes "usage" and no design system created.

Had a similar experience with their online code sessions.

All this slop generated code is so freaking bad. We'll get drowned in so much slop code that at some point only these garbage machines will be able to "work" with it.

People won't revolt even for genocide so why would they do anything about their computers?

We'll pay the subscription and be done with it. Those who can't will suffer.

We live too comfortably and independently to risk it all for the thousands of paper-cuts eroding our lives. The capitalists learned from history: isolate us and change into the dystopia little by little and there will never be enough resistance.

GP's right in pointing that out even if it hurts to read it.

Yeah, who cares about morals, right? I'm sure Palantir is hiring.

They'll kill people regardless, so might as well get paid for it!

You're totally right. This makes sense if price ends up being the only metric. I never thought about it this way.

Guess capitalism leads to enshittification no matter what.

How the hell can healthy competition breed enshittification? That makes absolutely no sense to me.

Take an industry with healthy competition like restaurants. You can compete in price, quality, format, service and probably a lot more.

Now tell me how that competition enshittified eating at restaurants?

For me, nothing stands out. If a restaurant charges nonsense fees, under-staffs to increase profits, reduce portions with the same value, etc. I can simply go to another one. Restaurants that enshittify will almost inevitably close.

But if we look at a closely related industry like the food delivery apps, we see the same exact signs of enshittification we see on the tech world due to monopolies (or oligopolies to be more exact) like: - Increased/hidden fees

- Increased delivery times

- Crappy apps with ads everywhere

- Ineffective review systems

- Pay-to-win search

- Dynamic pricing

They can get away with it because realistically, you don't have any other options. The cost to entry might not be that high but the network effect all but prohibits competition.

Nobody's blaming React. The blame lies on the bad developers that chose it to write a freaking start menu.

React is the symptom here, not the cause.

I don't think "care" is the right word here at all. We simply don't have options.

This is capitalism's biggest flaw: it's based on the assumption that there will be competition, but competition eventually leads to winners that then consolidate their positions and we end up with no real choices.

You're telling me people would pick a worse OS because they don't care even if they had real options? I don't believe that for a second.

Google Edward Snowden. Odd you never heard of the guy and his leaks.

"Some reason" means profit. Competition reduces it and we need that shareholder value.

It's baked into the system...

Did I miss a fundamental shift in how LLMs work?

Until they change that fundamental piece, they are literally that: programs that use math to determine the most likely next token.

Even disregarding what he has done, this is utterly absurd. I almost spit my coffee reading that.

You are going to tell me that the vibe coders care and read the code they merge with the same attention to detail and care that Linus has? Come on...

That's the key for me. People are churning out "full features" or even apps claiming they are dealing with a new abstraction level, but they don't give a fuck about the quality of that shit. They don't care if it breaks in 3 weeks/months/years or if that code's even needed or not.

Someone will surely come say "I read all the code I generate" and then I'll say either you're not getting these BS productivity boost people claim or you're lying.

I've seen people pushing out 40k lines of code in a single PR and have the audacity to tell me they've reviewed the code. It's preposterous. People skim over it and YOLO merge.

Or if you do review everything, then it's not gonna be much faster than writing it yourself unless it's extremely simple CRUD stuff that's been done a billion times over. If you're only using AI for these tasks maybe you're a bit more efficient, but nothing close to the claims I keep reading.

I wish people cared about what code they wrote/merged like Linus does, because we'd have a hell of a lot less issues.

I don't get why so much mental gymnastics is done to avoid the fact that locking their lower prices to effectively subsidize their shitty product is the anti competitive behavior.

They simply don't want to compete, they want to force the majority of people that can't spend a lot on tokens to use their inferior product.

Why build a better product if you control the cost?

They don't care. This is clearly someone looking to score points and impress with the AI magic trick.

The best part is that they can say the AI will get some stuff wrong, they knew that, and it's not their fault when it breaks. Or more likely, it'll break in subtle ways, nobody will ever notice and the consequences won't be traced back to this. YOLO!

Take Claude Code itself. It's got access to an endless amount of tokens and many (hopefully smart) engineers working on it and they can't build a fucking TUI with it.

So, my answer would be no. Tech debt shows up even if every single change made the right decisions and this type of holistic view of projects is something AIs absolutely suck at. They can't keep all that context in their heads so they are forever stuck in the local maxima. That has been my experience at least. Maybe it'll get better... any day now!

Come on... it's always the same reason: money.

Companies don't support Linux because it's not widespread enough so it can't outweigh the costs. They don't give a rat's ass for the market's resentfulness or lack thereof. The Linux market was basically not a real market before because their market share was simply too small.

There are plenty of products made for resentful markets and as long as they keep being profitable they don't care.

Most game studios pay someone else to make the anti-cheats and many already have Linux versions that the studios choose to not enable.

Besides, if your anti-cheat only ever looks at the system level, it'll easily be bypassed by hardware cheats. At some point I think anti-cheats will have to "know" the game to be able to detect anomalies. It's the only way to effectively stop many categories of cheats.

Of course running one system is better. Use Linux and stop being miserable ;)

Still, you haven't said what are these extremely horrible cons that two systems have. For me they're so small it's not even comparable to having to submit yourself to a shit Windows system only to avoid the "hassle" of having two systems.

I used Windows only for gaming and Linux for everything else. Now I'm fed up with games that choose to block Linux out, so I no longer need the two systems and couldn't be happier.

Looking forward for those 10x improvements to finally show up somewhere. Any day now!

Jokes aside, I never said it's not useful, but most definitely it's not even close to all this hype.

If it ever gets there, then anyone can use it and there's no "skill" to be learned at all.

Either it will continue to be this very flawed non-deterministic tool that requires a lot of effort to get useful code out of it, or it will be so good it'll just work.

That's why I'm not gonna heavily invest my time into it.

Which are?

I've had Windows in one disk and Linux in another for maybe a decade and use the boot selection to pick what I want. Never had a single issue.

Although I haven't opened Windows in months, so I'll likely nuke it soon and give more space for my Linux.

That's why some developers choose not to enable it

That's an excuse. It's mostly incompetence or more often than not the company doesn't think it's worth the effort. With more Linux users, the balance will eventually shift from "fuck them" to "we have to figure out a way".

Still has an anti-cheat, they just bothered to allow Linux support.

Companies don't do this out of laziness/incompetence, but even some large anti-cheats work on Linux and some games simply choose to not enable it (cough, Tarkov, cough). Their problem, I'm no longer gonna play games that don't work on Linux.

Funnily enough the best FPS game ever (Counter-Strike) runs absolutely fine on Linux. Thanks Valve!

Is it not reproducable? Someone up thread reproduced it and expanded on it. It worked for me the first time I prompted. Did you try it or are you just guessing that it's not reproducable because that's what you already think?

I assumed you knew how LLMs work. They are random by nature, not "because I'm guessing it". There's a reason if you ask the LLM the same exact prompt hundreds of times you'll get hundreds of different answers.

I looked for, found, and shared evidence

Anecdotal evidence. Studies have shown how unreliable LLMs are exactly because they are not deterministic. Again, it's a fact, not an opinion.

I'm talking about filtering spammy communication channels

So if we make tons of mistakes there, who cares, right?

I only used this as an example because it's one of the few very public uses of LLMs to make judgement calls where people accepted it as true and faced consequences.

I'm sure there are plenty more people getting screwed over by similar mistakes, but folks generally aren't stupid enough to say that publicly. Maybe the Salesforce huge mistake qualifies too? Incidentally it also involved people's jobs.

Regardless, the point stands: they are unreliable.

Want to trust LLMs blindly for your weekend project? Great! The only potential victim for its mistakes is you. For anything serious like a huge open source project? That's irresponsible.
