I live in SV. When I was at the grocery store last year I overheard a group of lawyers talking about their progress on litigation against AI companies and how they need more SWE help to progress.

I'd say that they have valid concerns about being cagey on the copyright stuff despite the obvious hypocrisy of it.

Stealing IP is effectively legal in China so they don't really have the same concerns.

This is the first time Ive ever been concerned that my next PC will be a step down from my current due to costs.

I think we are heading towards an AI apocalypse of disengagement. Like in that Idiocracy movie where the computer lays off the entire company because profits are down and not even the CEO can undo it because he got laid off too.

just stop.

Thats not how AI psychosis works.

Oh wow really? I didnt know that. Did they launch a competing service or something?

I think a lot of HN'ers are in denial. I was an LLM skeptic check my history if you like. At the beginning of 2026 LLMs shifted over the hump to as good or better than most devs and are continuing to get better. I don't think we've even begun to see how this is going to affect the industry. People in charge don't and never have cared about code quality, tech debt, maintainability. Now they will not only not care but cease to listen to devs that insist on it.

People on HN will drop what they think is their trump card. Ie The computer spitting out incorrect info. However, I've worked in banking finance where data was wrong and people in charge just shrugged when I showed them and said something like, accounting will catch it. And here's the worst thing. They were right.

One of the.big hurdles is pantone support. At some point most places want their design to hit the real world and pantone has that market cornered. I dont just mean the technical parts pantone has expensive licensing that most FOSS doesnt and wont ever pay.

There is more than one toll troll.in that marker.

I agree. I think there are a lot of haters here. The remaster sounds much more professional/complete. I guess I could see that some people may have preference for a sorta live show feel but I've always preferred the album versions. Maybe I had too many friends that made me listen to their bad demo albums when I was young and I'm traumatized ha.

Perhaps on HN. The general public.... I'm guessing you don't interact with average and below people very often if you believe that.

Corporations are not known for "normalizing" something at risk of billions of dollars of profit. That is never going to change. Sure once something starts to get acceptance they have no problem shouting from the rooftop about how they were first but they never sound the trumpet.

If you are not aware the CEO of Apple (Tim Cook). Lived most of his life as a closeted LGBQ due to discrimination. Even though he is CEO of one of the richest companies in the world Apple has not become a leading champing of LGBQIA+ rights. Because they are afraid it would not be profitable. That's how companies operate.

Yes, it's odd that Apple doesn't train all its store staff on this laudable feature, but it's baffling that it doesn't shout about how good Assistive Access is for making a kid's dumb phone.

My guess is that its a bad look for PR to essentially say that a feature designed for disability assistance = children.

Gabe is off forming a cult which I assume will consume his focus for the remainder of his life. I'm dead serious he is basically straight up copying Ron L Hubbards, cult on a boat playbook. (related but kinda mean, he is not really health conscious so he is not gonna live to be 90 or anything.)

IDK what this means for the steam platform but I'm guessing it will mean change of some sort.

end to end agentic workflows.

There are probably 100 competing versions what this phrase might encapsulate. Could you elaborate more on which version you are using exactly?

My experience is that frontier models are only marginally better and not close to the cost/value of the open models which are anywhere from 10-100x cheaper. Perhaps I'm not doing "end to end agentic workflows?"

I can't tell you the number of times of put in an order on SPY,QQQ,SPX when I found favorable statistical analysis and I could not get filled at any price below the estimated profit potential. Those are some of the most liquid products in the word. I'm not talking pennies either.

Futures are the only thing for me this has never happened on. However no retail broker I'm aware of allows trading futures though API.

The market of trading is smaller than the market of business. I don't think most people have ever actually tried trading for real. The frequency with which you can put in a buy/sell order and nothing happens. Then you raise/lower the price several times and nothing still happens because nobody wants to buy or sell at a price that makes you money is much higher than you would imagine. If you've never tried it yourself.

That said, the very concept of selling such information means that it would eliminate any edge and become zero profit anyway.

What do you mean? Youtube is unquestionably one of the most successful projects ever launched? Seems like the process works astoundingly well.

Ive been using openspec and let it do the whole spected out project until its done. I dont interact other than the initial proposal, then apply, archive steps.I often run several in parallel on the same project in opencode.

That's because VS Code is hiding everything behind a bunch of non-real-time tricks of perception. Zed is giving you actual real-time feedback.

"Whom the gods wish to destroy, they give real-time data."

The overwhelming majority of the population cannot perceive anything over 90 Hz. Those that can are overwhelmingly skewed towards under 30 years old. Fighter pilots have a floor of something like 200hz for an idea of how rare it is. Just fun info.

As I understand it, Pompeii was basically a city of vice and hendoism. Most of the scroll text so far seems to be the ancient version of porn fanfic. So things really never change.

This comment appears to

1. be made up.

2. have successfully nerd sniped HN

To what purpose I'm not sure.Testing an LLM bot?

Ive been using glm5 since its release and still prefer it to glm5.1 and so far to glm5.2

Perhaps it is just my harness and workflow, but the older model still seems to work better. Also the token cost is significantly lower. I rarely spend more than $20 a week with $50 cap. Not even half claudes ambiguous minimum $200 a month plan.

P.S Nginx would do too, I just felt like getting haproxy up this time :)

I think this line summarizes better than anything. Perfect example of how move fast and break things begins gloriously at first then inevitably, the breaking you thought you were doing hasn't even started and you find out what that part means.

I've always been the one saying "this is going to be a problem in a couple months" then I get shot down for "being negative." Then in a couple of of months when it fails I start getting aggression thrown at me "oh i know you want to say I told you so" and such even though I've never said such a thing when something fails. No. I would just like you to hear out my thoughts even when they may not be what you want to hear. We are all working towards the same goal.

My experience with LLM's is that the "fallback" issue is probably one of the most serious issues. I have seen zero talk about it outside of this thread. I'm not sure its even being worked on. The llms have this terrible drift towards always making something happen even if that thing is not even related to the task at hand. "failure" in the sense of simply throwing an error/exception is something models seem highly resistant to.

I cant tell you at this point how many times I've seen them do something like

Fail > make up values > maybe log it > keep working silently with increasingly corrupt data.

Is your question why would I want to own my own money making machine? IDK call me crazy I guess.

I personally cant wait to start seeing sob stories of how people are having thier account permanently locked after making big wins. Thats what happens when you bgive money to unregulated casinos every tine and is the exact reason there are so many gambling laws and restrictions.

your comment is pure derision, but its after 4pm markets are closed.

your supposed "honest" inquiry is if you are so smart why arnt you rich yet?

IDK. The internet is full of examples of platform max exodus's. This may actually be a killer idea that will finally challenge the tech oligarchy power. I think we are in for a turbulent future. The FANNG/MANGO companies have essentially never had any real challenge to their dominace. We are about to enter an era where they will be challenged for the first time. I don't think they will be nice about it and we will see their true non altruistic colors. Especially Google and Apple which have lost their halos but are still considered "good actors" by many.

I really dislike it but the effectiveness of code generation is just too good now. I really doubted it at first but I can churn out 10x the work. Is it the same quality as IC? no but I think that it doesn't matter anymore. How many of us have worked on some 10+m loc monstrosity for years never knowing more than 1% of the codebase? Probably most. Now I can generate that same monstrosity on my own. I've created a 1.1m+ loc and growing trading platform that automates options trades based on live ML edges from research papers. I never would have been able to do that on my own before LLM's. It has full telemetry and comprehensive error logging and testing as well. I'd have been strained to get MVP done before LLMs.

I don't think someone without coding experience can do it though. I've accepted that the new expected output for a single dev will eventually converge to 10x-100x what it is now.

they start to shape my texts

I'm a bit curious about this? What draws you to speaking like an LLM rather than your own voice? I've personally never felt compelled to be more llm like in my writing.

Its interesting that you posted this now. I stopped using RTK about 2 weeks ago due to suspicions and some testing that it may actually be hurting my token usage due to it causing increased loops due to faulty responses to the LLM that confuse it. I only have some rough metrics, unfortunately speed of LLM work has derailed my attempt to nail down usage efficiency. I spend less than $200 per month on tokens anyway and my usage is not consistent. I won't really know for another 30 days when I look at the total billing per day.

So far my token use has not increased.

I also looked through the huge backlog of the RTK issues and got nervous.

so you are sayng your job is "tables" , sry Tim Robinson skit reference
