I think the issue is the people using it without doing the "think critically" part.

Why would it not matter? Maybe it doesn't matter to you that you have to spend your life doing brainless miserable work, but a lot of people don't like or want that. Just because "a lot of people experience x awful thing&quot

Yup this was super weird to me. There are other equally likely "world ending" things that they chose to ignore of nuclear, such as bio-weapons. Very strange list..

This is so interesting to me... Maybe it's because I grew up after (most of) the heavy anti-communist propaganda in the US, but the last thing I think of when I hear "communism" is "prosperity in large amount of people&q

I grew up playing diablo II and super smash bros (super nintendo before that!). While I don't have as much time for it these days, gaming couldn't be farther from dead, IMO. There are incredible games and worlds being created both

Google is doing great... Record profits this year, not sure I'd call that a "revolution".

> git is reaching the end of its useful life Based on what exactly? I think that git is more useful than ever in this new "age of ai [slop]". Thankfully, something being old doesn't automatically make it not useful anymore

So you think it’s a potentially existential threat but are bothered by people who maybe want to suppress it… Hopefully you acknowledge there is a bit of lack of self awareness here eh?

What fields do you see devs think they know about? I’ve never personally seen this with other devs I work with but obviously small sample size…

Yea petting the bowl of noodles with your chopsticks is not normal behavior lol.

Unfortunately trillions of dollars have been invested to ensure that's not the case..

Hmm I might be completely missing something here (I’m not a machine learning person), but how is that “pro-active”? The mode is still taking in an input (or several inputs maybe in this case) and responding to that input, isn’t it? It doesn

The llm runs in a loop until it meets a condition (the goal).

by ryan_n 2mo ago
Fair enough, that makes sense

by ryan_n 2mo ago
I agree with most of the 'llm's are bad' section. However, I find it extremely hard to believe that llm's will make peoples thoughts sharper and faster. There have already been several studies published demonstrating the

I might be missing something but what exactly is being projected here? The US did what the author said. It's not farfetched to imagine geopolitical conflicts could, at some point, drive china to do something similar. > all the front

I mean there are ads in certain chatGPT plans. There have already been multiple studies showing that regular use of genAI makes you less intelligent... Additionally, it's pretty clear that the owners of this tech (dario, altman, etc..)

Someone could make the best agentic coding harness in the world and still have a hard time with the drastic changes that are happening in their profession. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

The entire country is watching companies like Anthropic, openAi, etc.. right now... A pull request and blog post is a big deal.

I don't think that's the point. The point is that if you outsource thinking to a machine, you will lose your ability to think and reason on your own, and overtime become a worse engineer. Maybe the software ai writes will be fine,

Okay so circa 2011 it was powering some labs. Don't think there are many/any frontier labs in 2026 running ps3's, or at least no one has provided any evidence of that still..

how does the ps3 hack "power many a lab"?

Genuine question/not a critique-are you actually reviewing all that code or just sending it and hoping for the best? I just can't imagine someone is reading/reviewing that much code every day, but maybe I'm wrong?
54.
by ryan_n 2mo ago
I still just explicitly approve all actions and review all code (unless it's a personal/throwaway project no one else will ever touch/use/see). I know a lot of people that run in a sandbox though. That said, I'm sur

What exactly is the car equivalent in this analogy? Codeberg is not a car if you're saying GitHub is the horse. Just doesn't really make sense to compare the two like that...

Yea I used the kinesis 360 for a short time but couldn't stand how cheap it felt. Such a big difference from nicer custom keyboards, and it's essentially the same price which is a shame.

by ryan_n 3mo ago
I'm big into the custom mechanical keyboard hobby (not that that makes my opinion special or anything, ha) and I definitely agree. It's funny, cus a lot of people in the hobby see the Model M as their "holy grail" keyboa
