Dollars to donuts it was Len or Hall and good luck getting keys out of a dead man.

"Astra, warp in a wet lab and make COVID++ .NET edition, make no mistakes." Yeah, sure man.

I can't wait to need to drink my Mountain Dew verification cans to keep the slop hose running at work and keep paying on mortgage.

So you're saying it's probably time for me to just unplug the internet?

Just as some anecdatum, I've tried this a couple of times over the last few years. 2024-2025, no body could generate anything of any sort of complexity, however maybe around the Opus 4.7 timeline, I tried having it generate some relati

I hear the T-rexes were still roaming the earth trying to eat us cavemen in 2016.

Sounds like an even shittier version of the Lorax. :(

Must be a Europe thing, as RealID pissed enough boomers off here in the States that I doubt anyone would push harder than that, and outside of very stupid ticket apps that occasionally won't let me print, I can't recall the last t

I mean, I feel like Debian has come pretty close to that for the last decade or two.

I have no idea on OP, but as far as a waypointer, have been in the area of building bespoke automotive telemetry solutions for a while now (including reversing some existing tools), I would wager that something like the Freematics One+ coul

There's a lot of WTF here, including paying $1400 for a Linux workstation with 32GB of RAM and what looks like a mobile CPU, along with an integral keyboard that seems like it would give you RSI just looking at it. Who on earth is buyi

That's bogus unless you're talking above 10G, in which case the only things typically doing wire level performance are expensive and sold by vendors like Cisco, Juniper or Arista (and maybe it's higher than 10G now). Frankly,

To someone not familiar with CXL that still gives the wrong impression. As far as I have seen, CXL is supposed to be cache coherent, and should require less invasive rework (if any at all) of applications to take advantage of it; that'

While I agree the "Uncle Bob" cargo cult is IMO dumb, this really rubs me the wrong way: > You have the vendor pushed acronyms like: ACID, CAP, OLAP, OLTP. ACID and the CAP theorem in particular has _very_ serious consequences

PCB layout is an art, and doesn't seem to map well to LLMs (I tried for shits and giggles recently). Claude in general, kind of like code, does a lot of redundant belt and suspenders stuff in the schematics it generates (if it can gene

You could start by pushing for RVs (both bus and gooseneck) to have to conform to the same standards as a commercial driver would. That seems like one of the most immediate and obvious places where it seems crazy (IMO) that we allow people

It's honestly frustrating that you can't buy anything like an S10, an O.G. Ranger, Jeep XJ, or even the 90's and early 00's GM and Ford full size trucks. I understand they were at least marginally less safe in a crash, b

Ignoring the validity of the test, one of the more strange things I noticed is that apparently native English speakers only have a total vocabulary of 15k to 35k words? I probably live in a bubble, but that seems profoundly low.

Are we just talking shotguns or can it be anything they manufacture? Answer is probably Beretta though.

It's not just Windows where the rendering goes to shit immediate: any time I've got it open in tmux on Linux, it becomes a basket case in probably a few hours or less.

Are you conflating a router with SNAT? Routers as in L3 routing are not an "IPv4 only abstraction."

Having worked in places across both extremes (software engineer doing lots of other things including BD, hardware, ops, etc. to just being a JIRA ticket machine monkey), I am suspicious that HN readership is biased towards the former and fr

I had the same thought, it's kind of like taking the guard off a 4 1/2" grinder. Real convenient until the cutting wheel explodes or the grinder gets hung and kicks back.

There's probably a lot to say about it's merits or problems, but given the demographics (or my perception of them) is largely "software people" can you really be that surprised or angry given that this could snuff out a

I am maybe positing something even stronger: say you had two prompts, both with the same information, one was written in the style of a good paper out of Nature or Science, one written in the style of a bad Twitter post or other kind of mes

That's been one of the gravest re-realizations I've noticed watching coworkers trying to pick up "agentic" coding: they often just break down into "just fix it" or "why is this broke". I've notic
