> They never mention the "skeptics" that are considered that because they aren't skeptical of what AI is and could be capable.

This is because most people on HN who say they are skeptical about AI mean skeptical of AI capabilities. This is usually paired with statements that AI is "hitting a wall." See e.g.

> I'm very skeptical. I see all the hype, listen to people say it's 2 more years until coding is fully automated but it's hard for me to believe seeing how the current models get stuck and have severe limitations despite a lot of impressive things it can do. [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44015865]

> As someone who is mildly skeptical of the current wave of LLM hype and thinks it's hitting a wall... [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43634169]

(that was what I found with about 30 seconds of searching. I could probably find dozens of examples of this with more time)

I think software developers need to urgently think about the consequences of what you're saying, namely what happens if the capabilities that AI companies are saying are coming actually do materialize soon? What would that mean for society? Would that be good, would that be bad? Would that be catastrophic? How crazy do things get?

Or put it more bluntly, "if AI really goes crazy, what kind of future do you want to fight for?"

Pushing back on the wave because you take AI capabilities seriously is exactly what more developers should be doing. But dismissing AI as an AI skeptic who's skeptical of capabilities is a great way to cede the ground on actually shaping where things go for the better.

Exactly - and that's where AI becomes really valuable as a thinking partner. I use Claude Code to have conversations with my codebase about how to slice problems down further.

The issue definition itself becomes something you can iterate on and refactor, just like code. Getting that definition tightly bounded is more critical than ever because without clear boundaries, the AI doesn't know when to stop or what constitutes "done."

It's like having a pair programming session focused purely on problem decomposition before any code gets written. The AI can help you explore different ways to break down the work, identify dependencies, and find natural seams in the problem space.

The agent reached out to the internet and pulled the golangci-lint docs. Repeatedly. After generating a v1-compatible config I pointed it to the v2 docs. It tried to do the automatic migration but still wound up with incorrect syntax. I asked it to throw away what it had and build a fresh v2-compatible config. It again consulted the docs. Repeat ad nauseam.

I threw in the towel and had a working config in ten minutes.

This article is ridiculous

Q: but the code that AI generates is incoherent gibberish

Guess what, life’s tough. Fixing incoherent gibberish is part of the job you wuss. Honestly, I bet you write incoherent gibberish. Would you rather be fixing incoherent gibberish that an AI wrote or incoherent gibberish that you wrote?

Q: but I have to re-do everything it touches. Everything takes me ten times as long!

What are you, some kind of vibe-coding YouTuber? Everything taking ten times as long is part of the job, cupcakes. What’s important is that now it takes ten times as long automatically. I like the way Zed does it, where it tells you to leave while it’s changing stuff.

Yes CEOs are to blame, but blaming them isn't gonna do anything. They won't change. Who has the motivation and capacity to change things? The working people. Who isn't currently doing it? The working people. So it seems appropriate for me to raise this fact as a problem, the fact that the working people silently go along with all the evil plans ceos put in place

I don't see it. Russia is spent on their war with Ukraine. Whatever ambitions they had beyond that, those are fantastical now. I'm sure plenty of nations are studying the war there and seeing that it is expensive and difficult. And what do you even gain, a war torn country and a population willing to cause you a lot of trouble forever more? If Russia had instead invested their war spending into the economy they would be up far more than they're down.

I agree though, that the west should have done far more to help Ukraine.

> Tackling 1: No current LLM will be able to do that.

Github Copilot seems to be able to do it. Mostly because it knows how to call Meshlab. The documentation for Meshlab is hard to search, and having an LLM find the correct function is itself helpful.

Also, it looks like quadric decimation has improved since the last time I looked at it. That algorithm, if pushed too hard, will generate meshes with holes. Now there are options ("preservetopology") which supposedly prevent that. I last looked at that a few years ago, and the only mesh decimator which handled that correctly was the one inside Unreal Engine Editor.

Now I have to test all this stuff, of course.

You are using the nuke example as a straw man since the negative impact is clear, but most technology is not so clear cut. We have machines that can do the work of 1,000,000 men, for example. The magnitude of technological advance alone doesn’t inherently mean something is good or bad.

AI is a large leap forward in capability and will likely have significant impacts on society. But it’s far from clear that it will have disproportionate negative impacts like a nuke. More likely it will have benefits and downsides similar to numerous other modern technologies.

It’s so funny all those Russia ‘supporters’ are unable to at least cover themselves with the proper correct spelling of Kyiv, they must write it as Russia does, wrongly. It’s so easily visible now, since the rest of the world respects Ukrainian choice to have their name written properly.

Bonus: now it’s so noticeable, the time zones in Linux. When I’m interacting with some old distros, it was Europe/Kiev, now it’s Europe/Kyiv. Mostly only Russians and their ‘supporters’ (usually just bots from the suburbs of St Petersburg) continue to write Kiev. Plus some people who are not interested in the topic, like at all. Or those who happen to read what Russians distribute. Next time you see Kiev anywhere, pay your attention at what narrative that person is pushing.

At least in my experience, this is ahistorical. Personal computing in the 1970s and 1980s lived outside of academia, as did bulletin boards. The productive, creative, and empowering elements of the Internet and the Web were subversive actions that existed -- and in some cases were barely tolerated -- within its academic usage.

You say "there is very little you and I can do about it". Even if you don't listen to me, perhaps you might listen to the coiner of the term "enshittification"? https://archive.is/CqA8w

You know how you’re lying awake at 2am spiraling about life, death, love, God, and whether you should text your ex?

instead of sending another “u up?” we built Ask Sephira, a site where you can ask questions and get instant responses from AI trained to sound like actual religious teachers: rabbis, imams, pastors, monks. Yes, real texts.

FYI: still very much a prototype

Built for the spiritually curious, religious-ish, or just people who want better answers than “just manifest it.”

We’re still shipping features. It’s pretty profound sometimes and honestly gives great advice. People are coming back, asking deeper questions, and, idk, maybe it’s helping? let me know what you guys think. Is the multifaith thing just killing our market size?

There is technology, related technical advancements and then there is this business incentives to make money. A lot of progress has indeed been made in NLP, information retrieval which is helpful in its own ways to speed up thing, it can easily be seen as next level of automation.

Everything else around it is a glamorous party cause everyones money is riding on it and one needs to appreciate it or risk being deserted by the crowd.

The basics of science is around questioning things until you get convinced. People depending on models too much may end up in a situation where they would loose the ability to triangulate information from multiple sources before being convinced about it.

Programming can be more complicated above a certain threshold even for humans so it would be interesting how the models perform with the complexity. I am skeptic but again I dont know the future either.

That's completely true, but also a simplification.

Firstly, it's important to understand that the art "industry" has a massive supply and demand problem - ie over supply and very little demand. This is in common with musicians, bands, authors etc.

On the one hand competing for very limited "shelf space" means that most artists never get into galleries etc.

The gallery owner is balancing multiple factors (cause they want to make a living selling art) and so public tastes etc come into play. They're also more likely to show "art their client base knows" to improve sales.

Museums have a somewhat different mandate, but often have more art than they can display. So they rotate works, create "themes" and so on. They need to keep their core market (repeat art museum visitors ??? ) coming back.

Of course pretty much all artists are "not represented" most of the time - that's fundamental to the supply demand problem.

Are pictures by old white men over-represented? Absolutely. Are they the ones who got opportunities 30 years ago, and have built both a body of work, and a fan-base of buyers? Equally yes. Are they the "safe choice" for dealers keeping the lights on? still yes.

Change will happen slowly. Buyers tastes change slower than artist creativity.

If you want to promote diversity in the art world, only one thing matters. Are you buying that art? Because if you're not buying, you're not sending a signal that matters. And (I say this as one who does buy art) a vanishingly small number of people buy any art at all.

Others have pointed out that this is more about Supabase than it is about "vibe coding." As someone just learning to use Supabase myself, the 2 biggest pieces of advice I have are:

1. Put anything that you don't want to be accessible by anon in a schema other than "public." This seems obvious, but the public schema is Supabase's default behavior. Supabase's official reply about this question is "I guess you can, but don't worry, RLS." However, security is an onion. Put up as many barricades as you can. If I was king of Supabase, I would err on the side of security.

2. Login to Supabase Studio, set your role to "anon" instead of "postgres" and click on every single table and view that should be private, and make sure there are no results.

Supabase could do a lot better about communicating this, and it would require no breaking changes unlike this disaster[0] which requires hacking your historic migrations!

Hi, I have created a site named Tsarr.in which is an online screenshot editor site. The users really like my site, so I was thinking of monetizing it somehow. I don't want to put a subscription because lowkey I know it is not that high tech to put behind bars. Also, I want to make it free for indie devs and others.

This post feels quite dishonest. Every concern is countered with some variation of ”you’re wrong and I am right”, zero nuance.

I use Claude for specific questions, it works great (but apparently I’m doing it wrong according to the author), code generation doesn’t, I don’t want my boilerplate code to have subtle differences in every file, that’s the worst kind of boilerplate and that’s what I get if I automate it.

There are real world implications of all the infrastructure being built for this too, not to mention the extremely short e-waste cycles during the boom we’re in right now. To me it also seems like LLMs are the wrong thing to solve for, it’s like a gasoline car, make the engine larger and more fuel consuming to go faster and no matter how much you perfect it, it will still be fossil fuel being burnt at a high rate. What’s the alternative, I don’t think we know yet, but if we were a smarter species we would see that this is not it.

Are there many people involved in follow the sun support or SRE roles there? I know my company only has an engineering presence in Aus and Japan because of the large coverage gap between the US west coast and the EU. Seems like low wages + native English* could be a nice win for companies.

* For some definitions of native. I've had to work as a translator for a Kiwi and an American, both native English speakers.

> I’m an AI skeptic. I’m probably wrong. This article makes me feel kinda wrong. But I desperately want to be right.

To be blunt, this describes sticking one's head in the sand to a tee.

If you're convinced that AI is going to be a force for evil, then fight to make sure that it doesn't happen. If that means you want to slow down AI, then fine, fight to slow it down.

If by skepticism, you mean "desperately" wanting reality to be one way rather than the other, that is not going to significantly affect the trajectory of AI.

Being clear-eyed about where AI is going, and then fighting nonetheless for what you want is the way to go.

Be intellectually honest with yourself. Don't hold on to ideas that you yourself acknowledge are probably wrong simply for their comfort. Don't stick your head in the sand. Assess what you want, and fight for that.

Safeguards and slowing things down will not happen via wishful thinking.

>this case they're not directly using the color to store information, they just have three differently colored QR codes overlayed on top of each other. With that method you can use a filter to separate them back out and you've got three separate QR codes worth of data in one place. The way they're added ends up using more than just three colors in that example.

That's only true if you can print and read colors in a higher resolution/don't destroy information at 3x the density with color, I'm not sure if that's generally true.

>If you were truly to use colored dots to store binary information without worrying about using a standard like QR, I think you'd be going from base-2 (white and black) to base-3 (red, blue, green) or more likely base-4 (white, red, blue, green) or even base-8 (if you were willing to add multiple colors on top of each other) in which case yeah you'd have way more than just 3x the data density.

Base 8 is exactly 3x the data density. (Log(8)/log(2))

I think bhouston is arguing (correctly) you can’t have a 10% of the population drop in dementia prevalence by an intervention that only targets 3% of the population, so even if CPAPs contribute, that does not explain most of the drop.

(If everybody who uses CPAPs would get dementia, and they are 100% effective at preventing that, the drop would still be ‘only’ 3% of the population)

All I have visibility into is the public galleries, where the grants and the curators are picking women, and the artist run centres, and the local art school, both of which are female and/or indigenous and/or queer first in the past decade.

You're right that things are different at private galleries. The majority of art in galleries representing artists decades into their career is not going to be by women. And the owners are going to have their say/taste, as are their clientele.

But, will that still be true in the coming decades? There is a pipeline to becoming an established artist, and what is the input to that, if not the art schools, collectives, and artist run centres? (I am not asking that rhetorically, I am genuinely curious)
by jillesvangurp | 2025-06-03 05:43:59+00:00
Some of the revenues are very real. A few million subscriptions at tens-hundreds of dollar per month add up to non trivial revenue pretty quickly. I think most software engineers will have such subscriptions fairly soon. We're talking about a market where companies drop 5-20K/month on software engineers and hire whole teams of those. Of course they are going to spend on this. Maybe not 500$. But 20-100$ is a lot less controversial.

And this is quickly spreading beyond software engineering. Software engineers are just being guinea pigs for agentic AIs eventually popping up in all sectors. Basically, while security and quality issues are being sorted out, it helps having users that are a bit more clued in about what they are doing.

That's why AI investments are so hot right now. Of course there are a lot of AI companies that will fall short. There always are. And companies like Nvidia that will make a lot of money selling GPUs.

But there is some non trivial amount of revenue potential there. Anybody still in denial about that is probably penny pinching.

You could save five minutes by typing faster _and_ also spend five minutes thinking.

You are not considering all of the indirect effects. I.E.

Someone who types twice as fast is more likely to be comfortable to throw in that extra line of docs/comments that explains that whacky line of code.

Someone who has taken the time to improve the speed of the thing they are supposed to do for most of the working day, is a little more likely to be someone who cares about their job.

New Lantern | https://newlantern.ai | Software engineers (infrastructure engineers & backend-leaning product engineers) | Full time in San Francisco, CA (ONSITE)

New Lantern is hiring software engineers to help build an AI copilot [1] for radiologists.

Radiologists are experts at diagnosing disease in medical images, but they spend over half their working hours on tasks that have nothing to do with diagnosis: reading prior reports, transcribing handwritten notes, taking manual measurements, dictating reports, and chasing down follow-ups. New Lantern is building an AI copilot for radiologists to automate this non-diagnostic work, so radiologists can focus on what they do best: caring for patients and interpreting images.

We are starting to find product-market fit and recently raised a $19M Series A from Benchmark [2]. Demand for our product is growing, and we're hiring software engineers in San Francisco to help us scale our product and our team. We work together in person five days a week from our office in Jackson Square.

Engineering is at the heart of New Lantern. Our engineers work directly with our founder/CEO, our staff radiologist, and our end users to build features that radiologists rely on daily. Everyone has real ownership and autonomy, moves quickly, and ships meaningful work frequently. We're a small, sharp team of frontend, full-stack, and backend engineers building a React-based web app backed by Python services, cloud infrastructure, and LLMs.

I'm Steve, New Lantern's Head of Engineering. If you're interested or want to learn more, shoot me a note at (my HN username)@newlantern.ai.

[1] We translate "AI copilot" to "AI radiology resident" when we speak with medical professionals, but the former is the clearest way to communicate what we're building here.
