I don't think that's a very good comparison. People can drive a car without an expert but they can't build a car. People can use software without being an expert but still require an expert to build software.

AI could provided assistance with building both cars and software, but you still need a decent level of knowledge in either field to get a good result.

Anyone know if this is available in the Gemini CLI with a subscription (not api key)? Still seeing only Gemini 3 pro preview

I've been doing some reverse engineering recently and have found Gemini 3 Pro to be the best model for that, surprisingly much better than Opus 4.5. Maybe it's time to give Codex a try

They're great if you need raw processing power but they have a very backwards, German view of the internet where even a port scan is considered abuse. It's very easy to get your machine nullrouted or account closed.

I use them a lot for backend data processing but anything public facing I host at AWS or Digital Ocean who have a more reasonable approach to the internet.

Bevy has a lot of features enabled by default that add to the size. You can get bevy-snake down to 12 MB (3.2 MB gzipped, 1.9 MB brotli'd) if you only enable rendering and sprites, and strip the function names section.

It's still a little bigger than I would like, but it's not terrible.

That's absolutely not the case, HN is mostly people who think they're geniuses because they can program computers. Read the comments on any post about a topic you know a lot about and you'll see it's full of people talking very confidently about things they know very little about. There are of course some very smart people mixed in, but it's hard to pick those people out from the noise.

They use "newf*gs" on 4chan, I assume that word is banned here so the above posters are censoring it.

This is fine, that's the point of federation. Beehaw's stated goal is "Aspiring to be(e) a safe, friendly and diverse place." so it's understandable they would want to be more selective with who they federate with to create a "safe space" for those that want that kind of environment.

That wasn't the case back then, there was a very strong "if it's legal, it's allowed" sentiment on reddit. It was only after it started getting attention in mainstream media that it was banned.

Sadly uTorrent did succumb to darkness a while ago by bundling a bitcoin miner and other dodgy software with the client as installer opt-out checkboxes.
