Mostly agree, but one very small caveat—the books we all get to enjoy as readers have been through (presumably) beta readers, agent edits, and then publisher edits, and even then a line editor as well. All those hidden decisions you will no

a lot of these comments have no understanding of basic statistics. for example, did you know, at just 30 words of grammatically acceptable text, at least in english, youre already at more possible combinations of phrasings than atoms in the

My profession is not, and never was, _programmer_. Lines of code—the actual text, is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. I'll take heat for that here for sure. But do you think a carpenter considers himself "one who sc

I think its guys just who don't really understand how the internet works. I'm flabbergasted that its 2026 and I still see the "oh no my IP" trope. If you're worried about it use a VPN. Your ISP anyway knows your IP

Thats another problem of this post, the author mentions Claude but not explicitely what models... 100k tokens "by lunch" is also not my finding, the newer models will hit that already right in the initial exploratory phase

lets be genuine here: those local models are no where near the capabilities of true modern llms like codex 5.5 and fable 5 but i also dont doubt in a few years time models with those benchmarks will be able to be run locally still many many

The prose in the post is what I've been shouting from a rooftop since the LLM hype started. Just tokens produced by weights. Useful, but never forget that ground truth!

How can it know which tokens not to read without reading them? and llms.txt is a single file for the whole site... not the same

Hi HN, To my pleasant surprise, I’ve been noticing a sort of revival of posts related to writing here and on the web at large. This is either due to my own return to the craft of writing, or it really is a broader trend of AI power users re

except AI writing is near 100% detectable. check out something like pangram. no matter what you generate, the cadence of their word choices, sentance structures, etc. are always the same and often blantently visible in the prose. in fact i

Its wild to me that the concept of working 80% (1 day off a week) or even 60% (2 days off a week) isn't even a concept in the US, while in europe such part time situations make up a huge share of the work force. In short, people have b

There are also widely accepted standards to written word. The best example is when an abbreviation can be expanded to more than one phrase, and both are widely used.

> The world doesn't make sense. It's always been this way, so we don't even know another way to exist. This is the main line for me. Even around the bonfire with fellow grugs if you got eaten by a tiger, I'm not sure

Agreed. Do we have any information on what these "vulnerabilities" actually are? Every vulnerability is typically immediately reported to CVE or NIST... are these "so destructive" they have to be kept behind closed door

I don't see the problem - everything the author describes has, and will always be, true. You can't vibe code anything of value in a weekend exactly because anyone _else_ with the same level of experience can do the exact same thin

Have you used gemini models for code work? Claude and Codex are miles ahead in terms of quality and how thorough they are

this is extremely strawman - with this your basically saying any software ever that has parts written by automation or cron jobs (even before llms) is not a product worth using? foolish.

Lots of hate for NextJS in here so im wondering what people use as an alternative framework... Gatsby? I used to use that one until the updates basically ceased to exist. Vite with <insert your favorite here> - looks good, but at init

dont let it get to you, the only "worse" consequence is people wasting their time like this projecting things they literally cannot predict. remember at the end of the day, its just tokens. tokens cant crack ssl, rsa, visit a stak
