Lots to learn from religious orgs. Financial orgs/philosophy is still very young.

A core piece, the Church for example, attributes to its survival long term has been Pastoral Care. In our technical or business schools its hard to find people who know what that is, or why its required.

Seminaries teach Care not just theology. Students are in constant direct contact with the community and its suffering on a day to day basis, not just through a dashboard or academic papers. It has a huge effect on the type of people who get schools and hospital built and keep them running.

When the founder of Palantir donates a ton of money -- as well as one of his acolytes to be the VP -- it would be more surprising if this DIDN'T happen. This is precisely the kind of thing the angry right wing would be up in arms about (maybe even literally) if it wasn't their side pushing for it.

The billionaire party owns both political parties; they shuffle the front-people to give the illusion of choice. In reality they get what they want. George Carlin spoke eloquently about this.

I see it as the opposite. Apple is absolutely positioned to own "chat". I am not worried they'll soon sort things out — and eventually we'll have an LLM integrated into the iPhone; call it Siri or otherwise.

With my history encrypted in the cloud, and the trust that Apple has built around privacy ... I think they're going to come out alright.

Here's a few general observations.

Your LLM (CC) doesn't have your whole codebase in context, so it can run off and make changes without considering that some remote area of the codebase are (subtly?) depending on the part that claude just changed. This can be mitigated to some degree depending on the language and tests in place.

The LLM (CC) might identify a bug in the codebase, fix it, and then figure, "Well, my work here is done." and just leave it as is without considering ramifications or that the same sort of bug might be found elsewhere.

I could go on, but my point is to simply validate the issues people will be having, while also acknowledging those seeing the value of an LLM like CC. It does provides useful work (e.g. large tedious refactors, prototyping, tracking down a variety of bugs, and so on...).

It is, which is why I'm not really going to engage with it directly. honestly, this attitude is so insanely common and I struggle to understand it personally so I dont really engage with it much. In real life people often struggle to understand, like, if you look at me I "look" fine, yet, I am mobility limited and have to use a cane a lot. They'll be casually dismissive about it like "oh, there's gene therapies now, someday they will cure you." Like, no, and I still have to live with it until and if that day comes (it probably will not). Saying things like that diminishes the very real struggles I deal with for pretty much no reason at all and is really callous, even though people are often unaware of how it sounds.

I'm also being purposely vague here to protect my privacy but I think most people if they had a condition that (and this is all true):

- causes severe pain and limits mobility to the use of a wheelchair over a period of time. No ability to exercise or have sex after it has progressed enough;

- Limits your ability to procreate because of the above bullet point but also because of the high risk of passing it off to offspring

- A cure exists but society hasn't deemed you special enough to put time into it

That.. wouldn't make you angry a little bit? I don't have to even blame anyone or anything to be allowed that. It's enormously frustrating. I'm not being entitled by being frustrated and angered by it, that idea is of course perfectly absurd. As is the idea that the anger needs to be "directed" anywhere. I guess I maybe drink a little too much and that's where it goes? honestly, who cares? And if I may borrow the parlance of the GP comment, their doesn't seem very "logical" from my POV. As is the downvoting swarms that usually accompany any kind of sentiment against the Almighty Altar of Capitalism. I'm not even making a critique of it, or offering an alternative, because I don't have one, but I don't need to provide one. It does suck, albeit for a small amount of people. But I guarantee you if you added up the sum of rare but probably treatable/curable diseases that we havent spent time on because of the rarity, the sum of those people is probably a significant chunk of the population.

You are taking the average of two groups but there is no iceberg, the self-taught people who make it are the only ones in that group...the other people do other things. It is like including the people who drop out of college in your group. As you say, self-taught is harder so people who go through that are going to know more and will end up knowing more that is useful.

People who teach at university aren't the experts in the field. The situation of university is inherently artificial created to fulfill a wide range of objectives which are largely unrelated to utility for students (and certainly not, utility for employers). For most subjects, people who teach at university are going to be very far from the experts...if they were experts, they wouldn't be teaching.

it’s sad that people want freedom? I think it’s way more sad to imagine a world where the state reigns supreme, it should always be possible to go solo if you can pull it off, it’s way more human, the state is just other people, often using bully tactics, they shouldn’t be able to rule over you, there should at always be places to escape to

Here is my question…

This is the first time that millions of people will actually download and run a model on their own devices.

The question is… will Apple be constantly tweaking these models, or only during OS upgrades?

I for one really like local software. Call me old-fashioned, but I enjoy when a company doesn’t switch up software anytime on the server, or phone the results home all the time in order to extract more profits from their collective users.
by outworlder | 2025-07-17 22:20:13+00:00
I don't disagree, but your comment is puzzling. You start talking about a game (which probably lacks a lot of training data) and then extrapolate that to mean AI won't replace engineering teams. What?

We do not need AGI to cause massive damage to software engineering jobs. A lot of existing work is glue code, which AI can do pretty well. You don't need 'novel' solutions to problems to have useful AI. They don't need to prove P = NP

By that definition, the ChatGPT app is now an AI agent. When you use ChatGPT nowadays, you can select different models and complement these models with tools like web search and image creation. It’s no longer a simple text-in / text-out interface. It looks like it is still that, but deep down, it is something new: it is agentic… https://medium.com/thoughts-on-machine-learning/building-ai-...

> I want a way to state that my intent is to not rely on the TCO.

How would that work? You want a nontail keyword to indicate that intent explicitly?

I guess I could imagine a scenario where you want to de-optimize a TCO into a non-TC... but I mean... that's got to be rare enough to just not bother with?

EDIT: Also, this is the exact opposite of your comment which I replied to. Make up your mind on what you want and we can maybe find a way to achieve it

Oh yeah, I totally agree. Vibe coding is not (anytime soon at least) going to be a thing.

But using AI tools for things like completing simple functions (co-pilot) or asking questions about a codebase can still be huge time savers. I've also had really good success with having AI generate me basic scripts that would have taken 45 minutes of work, but it gets me a working script in 3. It's not the revolution that's been promised, but it definitely makes me faster even though I don't like it

I'm not certain but I would be surprised if the TS and Node devs didn't discuss the functionality that's in Node now, since TS must have some definition of what an erasable type is (or rather, what few features aren't erasable, like enums), since the corresponding --erasableSyntaxOnly flag in TS was probably made specifically because of Node.

So you know when you're playing rocket ship in the living room but then your mom calls out "dinner time" and the rocket ship becomes an Amazon cardboard box again? Well this guy is an adult, and he's playing rocket ship with chatGPT. The only difference is he doesn't know it and there's no mommy calling him for dinner time to help him snap out of it.

You clearly don't, or you wouldn't have mistakenly thought that phrase represented an oxymoron.

No need to introduce a completely arbitrary sentence in some attempt to justify your mistake. Just accept that you were wrong and try not to make that mistake again. It's easy.

> If you just want to ignore the United States, then fine, but in general, good luck trying to ignore the United States.

Sorry to disappoint you, but as a Canadian hiring mostly Canadians no I don't care about how expensive college is in the US on a day to day basis. It really is just a US problem. Canadian Universities are still expensive but not remotely in the same ballpark as the US. You can often pay the tuition by having a decent summer job.

"State-sponsored expropriation"

So... Taxes?

I'm intrigued as to the framing of your post. You seem to be positing that it's entirely expected and understandable that wealthy individuals in well functioning systems should commit fraud to the detriment of the system that brought them their wealth. That seems counterintuitive to me, at least.

This used to be my experience with credentialed candidates, but I do think the programs universities have been putting together (which are from what I gather, extremely expensive tech school programs that optimize for FAANG acceptance) have made the hit rate for juniors that can actually hack slightly higher than what I remember.

Whether they actually are interested in the work still seems more important than the paper though.

Why doesn't anyone get upset by the fact that the use of Executive Orders has been massively abused by both parties and needs to be reigned in my Congress? It was the intent of the founders that Congress make the laws and The Executive carries them out. An executive order should be limited to how to do what Congress has mandated/authorized, not to effectively rule by edict because Congress passed legislation that allows absurdly wide latitude for The Executive to make orders (or agencies to make regulations).

As for whatever this EO is supposed to be about: Trump can't spell "AI" so I can't take his opinions on this field seriously.

You are welcome to govern yourself however you want. I said that. But if you actually think that Kagi is going to make tomorrow worse then all I can say is, “good luck out there”.

I prefer to use my valuable time and limited attention supporting causes I care about in ways that actually matter and are consistent. I don’t need to “govern myself” to be happy. I don’t extend moral culpability for harmful actions beyond those who commit them. I don’t hold the inventor of the scientific method responsible for all the harm scientific discoveries have caused.
by taeric | 2025-07-17 22:24:16+00:00
I'm curious if this actually tells us anything about the quality of the reviews, though? You could easily surmise that you make some basic comments on structure and some patterns in a file and send it back to the coder with a general "take that advice to the full change, let me know when I can look at it again."

That is, it isn't necessarily the case that the other files weren't reviewed. Just any overarching comments could have been left as an exercise for the coder. No?
by Herring | 2025-07-17 22:24:28+00:00
I like them for refactoring and “explain this massive codebase please”. Basically polishing or investigating things that already work.

But I think we should expect the scope of LLM work to improve rapidly in the next few years.

> This is more of an Autism issue, no?

Yeah, first paragraph was more autism, the other more ADHD.

Personally, ADHD helps me make friends but also makes me not that great at keeping them. People for sure can experience some social difficulty because of ADHD. Pure impulse control and high energy can also be regarded quite negatively.

But in the right context people with ADHD can indeed shine socially.

> Everyone is different, but the data surrounding therapy and coaching for ADHD without medication does not really instill confidence in me.

Yes, good therapists are hard to find so I am not surprised you had bad experiences. I did not really have much luck myself but still generally urge people to give them a shot.

Personally, coaching was a game changer for me. It is not the same as therapy. The main point is you are talking through your problems with someone who has ADHD themselves. They know what it is to have ADHD, they have coached countless people with ADHD. They know what works and what does not.

They help you setting realistic and measurable goals and guide you towards reaching them. It is much more outcome and solution focused which can appeal to people more critical towards traditional therapy. Though coaching is also much less regulated so one also needs to careful to find someone decent.

If you haven't tried, you might want to give it a shot. Anyway, I hope you find something that helps you.

Looks like I will have to point to the top of the thread again.

If your solution only works for a niche and it can only exist because it is so small that it is only interesting for a handful of people, then it is not an actual solution to the modern web!

>Only later I put together it was legitimate fraud detectiontriggering on an unexpected transaction location.

If I use my Chase debit card more than fifty miles from my home, transactions are denied as potential fraud. Then again, if someone uses my card details at a gas station in Santo Domingo, DR, that's just fine, even though I'm using the card in my home town on the same day.

It's maddening.

I wouldn’t go as far as GP, but yes, absolutely, they must compete with large models on the internet. Customers are now used to being able to ask a computer a question and get something better than “I just ran a web search for what you said, here are the uncurated, unsummarized results”.

Yes, this is in fact what people want. Apple is the biggest company in the world (don’t quibble this y’all, you know what I mean) and should be able to deliver this experience. And sure, if they could do it on device that would be aces, but that’s not an item on the menu, and customers seem fine with web-based things like ChatGPT for now. To act like Apple is doing anything other than fumbling right now is cope.

I cant even parse this? What am I blanking?

>You don't like pants? Televisions come in dozens of different sizes. Laptops come in dozens of different sizes. Are phones different in some way?

Where did I claim not to like pants?

Laptops come in tons of different sizes. So do phones.

They tried sub 10 inch laptops, in the form of netbooks, the form factor barely exists anymore outside of hobbyists. Netbook enthusiasts either have to exit the market, or go for something 10 inch or higher. Because its not worth the tooling to deal with a niche market.

Besides how insulting this comment is, which I'm going to ignore, I'd just point out a common theme in this thread is "limited resources" yet those limited resources are currently being incinerated on things like AI sex bots. Seems like a bit of a fallacy or cope to me. Research for some of these things costs essentially a rounding error. The limited resource you're mentioning here is "profit," not actual resources. it's not like society can't decide to invest in these things instead of the enrichment of a very small group of people.

Hmm I'm not convinced we don't have a lot of shared experience. We live on the same planet. We both hunger, eat, and drink. We see the sun, the grass, the sky. We both have muscles that stretch and compress. We both sleep and yawn.

I mean who knows, maybe their perception of these shared experiences would be different enough to make communication difficult, but still, I think it's undeniably shared experience.

I'd argue it's the opposite. Look at contemporary Russia.

You can be on the margins and yell all you like and still be on the margins, they know it doesn't matter what you do. [1]

If you're an oligarch and get in the way you fall out of a window.

Jeff Bezos was no ally of Trump I, had he not been sitting behind Trump II at the inauguration he could have kissed all his rocket plans goodbye because all his permits and contracts could be canceled just like that.

It's telling that you ask these details from a comment describing a negative experience, yet the top-most comment full of praises and hyperbole is accepted at face value. Let's either demand these things from both sides or from neither. Just because your experience matches one side, doesn't mean that experiences different from yours should require a higher degree of scrutiny.

I actually think it's more productive to just accept how people describe their experience, without demanding some extensive list of evidence to back it up. We don't do this for any other opinion, so why does it matter in this case?

> Let's try and move the discussion beyond that!

Sharing experiences using anecdotal evidence covers most of the discussion on forums. Maybe don't try to police it, and either engage with it, or move on.

Taking data from Pizza Hut [1], per Pepperoni - Personal Pan Pizza® Slice, there are 7 grams fat, 17 grams carbohydrates, 6 grams protein. Per slice is kind of silly, but we can analyze balance regardless. I picked Pepperoni based on perceived popularity, not to cherry pick.

At standard ratios [2], that's 63 kcal from fat, 68 from carbs, 24 from protein. Or

41% fat, 44% carb, 15% protein. Your resource suggests 25-35% calories from fat, so it's not that far off the goal. I'm not saying it's well balanced, just that it's fairly balanced.

> For a young child, that tiny thing alone is a third of the total recommended daily calory intake.

A third of the total recommended intake sounds appropriate for a meal?

> My son is 10, and he could probably eat 4 or 5 of these suckers easily.

Ok, but he's got to read 4 or 5 books for that, and maybe over several weeks? I'm not really sure how to address this. If you are going to eat 4 complete personal pizzas if available, then you probably should avoid them.

For myself it was my first console bought on pre sale. And here in my country is much more expensive.

Basically I raised the bar tremendously. I have the console, MKW, probably will buy Metroid, probably another Zelda. But that's it. I will not tolerate a low bar.

Now that indies are constantly increasing theirs with more genuine experiences? No no no

I bought NSW2 to be my defacto indie platform as well, but I just reporpused a laptop with Arch/Proton/Steam/Gog and I will work on that.

All my accessories from 8bitdo are working flawlessly, so not even a controller I will buy. I don't even bothered to buy the special SD card they require because I can't see myself using even the internal storage, unlike my NSW1.

I'm also part of the group that was shocked with the changes on MKW as well. A long time Nintendo fan disappointed.

I stayed fan for all this time because the experience hassle free. I don't want another Denuvo strategy, or games becoming boring like many mobile games.

I hope more people realize that there are options out there. Support the indies is my choice.

This wasn't so much a competitive rate, but I literally couldn't have afforded to buy this house if they didn't offer a 105% mortgage - so no deposit and some extra money so I could buy some furniture. To be fair, I had some deposit so didn't really need all the extra 5%, but I wasn't anywhere close to the 10% deposit that was standard at the time.

Also, now I remember that I also had to jump through some deceptive hoops. The deal was technically only available on the graduate account, which my account had stopped being earlier in the year because it changed to a regular account after 10 years from opening. The bank manager said she'd bend the rules and let me have the deal as an exception, but then presented me with a load of life insurance policies to sign (which of course I didn't want or need) and it was strongly intimated that if I didn't sign them, she'd no longer bother bending the rules to get me the mortgage deal. So, I signed them, and as soon as I had the mortgage confirmation letter through the post I phoned up to cancel before the end of the 14 day cooling off period. I dread to think how much commission she'd have made from me if I didn't cancel.

You're framing this whole conversation as if there's a single, universally agreed-upon set of "problems with the modern web." You're also treating it as though the only valid solutions are the ones that address your version of those problems in the most efficient way possible.

But your original suggestion (installing a handful of browser extensions) doesn’t do much for someone whose interests go beyond tracking scripts, ads, or page weight. For someone who values different aesthetics, a slower pace of change, or the creative possibilities of working within tight constraints, then Gemini might feel like a very practical solution. It may not solve your problems, but it might solve theirs.

As I mentioned earlier, I still use the web. Gemini is not a replacement for me. But using it changes the way I experience the web. Gemini’s minimalism helps me notice and appreciate different aspects of modern web technologies. Likewise, the complexity and richness of the web always makes coming back to Gemini feel like a breath of fresh air. These perspectives can coexist without being contradictory. Not every tool needs to solve every problem. Sometimes I want to spend hours cooking something elaborate. Other times I just want to eat a banana.

Enjoyment is also a valid reason to use a tool. You can take something seriously and still appreciate it for what it is, not only for what it reacts against.
