ITS TIME I POST UP ALL OF YOUR REAL NAMES!, also the internet will soon know how and what you and your family and friends are up to, and how yous scam, fraud and eob peoples information and earnings. By the end of the day all your photos and info including addresses and phone numbers will be posted up. And i promise you that his exhaust will go through his bottom hole and come out your mouth.

Your post misses the fact that 99% of programming is repetitive plumbing and that the overwhelming majority of developers, even ivy league graduates, suck at coding and problem solving.

Thus, AI is a great productivity tool if you know how to use it for the overwhelming majority of problems out there. And it's a boost even for those that are not even good at the craft as well.

This whole narrative of "okay but it can't replace me in this or that situation" is honestly between an obvious touche (why would you think AI would replace rather than empower those who know their craft) and stale luddism.

Yes.

and it’s easy to do keypair generation in the browser using subtle crypto. That API doesn’t provide jwk generation, but seems like it would be relatively easy to do even without the jose module. And the browser cab “download” (really just save) the keypair using the Blob API. Keys need not leave the browser.

An api developer portal could just offer - generate a new keypair? - upload your existing public key?

…As a choice. Either way the public key gets registered for your account.

The end. Easy.

Not familiar with the cited essay (added to reading list for the weekend), but the post does make some generally good points on generalization (it me) vs specialization, and the benefits of an optimized and scalable generalist approach vs a niche, specialized approach, specifically with regards to current LLMs (and to a lesser degree, ML as a whole).

Where I furrow my brow is the casual mixing of philosophical conjecture with technical observations or statements. Mixing the two all too often feels like a crutch around defending either singular perspective in an argument by stating the other half of the argument defends the first half. I know I'm not articulating my point well here, but it just comes off as a little...insincere, I guess? I'm sure someone here will find the appropriate words to communicate my point better, if I'm being understood.

One nitpick on the philosophical side of things I'd point out is that a lot of the resistance to AI replacing human labor is less to do with the self-styled importance of humanity, and more the bleak future of a species where a handful of Capitalists will destroy civilization for the remainder to benefit themselves. That is what sticks in our collective craw, and a large reason for the pushback against AI - and nobody in a position of power is taking that threat remotely seriously, largely because the owners of AI have a vested interest in preventing that from being addressed (since it would inevitably curb the very power they're investing in building for themselves).

"OpenAI was plugging Claude into its own internal tools using special developer access (APIs)"

Unless it's actually some internal Claude API which OpenAI were using with an OpenAI benchmarking tool, this sounds like a hyped-up way for Wired to phrase it.

Almost like: `Woah man, OpenAI HACKED Claude's own AI mainframe until Sonnet slammed down the firewall man!` ;D Seriously though, why phrase API use of Claude as "special developer access"?

I suppose that it's reasonable to disagree on what is reasonable for safety benchmarking, e.g: where you draw a line and say, "hey, that's stealing" vs "they were able to find safety weak spots in their model". I wonder what the best labs are like at efficiently hunting for weak areas!

Funnily enough I think Anthropic have banned a lot of people from their API, myself included - and all I did was see if it could read a letter I got, and they never responded to my query to sort it out! But what does it matter if people can just use OpenRouter?

The model here feels not entirely dissimilar to Passkeys? Both are user provided auth tokens??

[Ed: allegations that the following is inaccurate! Probably checks out? Yes I meant the browser not the domain bound part, that seems solid.] Pity that Passkeys are so constrained in practice by browsers, that using them pretty much requires you trust the cloud providers absolutely with all your critical keys.

> Tech people, I suspect, tend to assume that AI brings "full creative freedom" to artists the same way a patron does when they say "you can have full creative freedom".

I think you introduce a rather arbitrary separation here. I spoke of the artistic communities in the sense of a normative force which establishes cultural acceptance and means of valuation for AI in artistic processes. Similar to what happened to photography and computer graphics.

Do you really think there is a distinct arch type of a tech person and an art person? If so, I would consider myself as an art person. I am by no means a professional artist, but I am a creative person who sees powerful tools emerge.

I work on video games as a hobbyist since I am 10. But I am not a good artist in the sense that my imagination and feature creep lead me to failure. These new emerging tools might bring me the freedom to pursue more of my ideas. When I started, I learned DirectX programming in pursuit of artistic freedom, now there is Unity3D and other engines that could have made the difference for me in what I would have become.

I am sure there are many more like me, who lost themselves in unattainable visions, and also many professional artists, who have ideas in the back of their heads which seem unrealistic to pursue.

Gen AI will hopefully enable many of those previously unattainable visions to come true.

I'm so excited to see a real competitor to Claude Code! Gemini CLI, while decent, does not have a $200/month pricing model and they charge per API access - Codex is the same. I'm trying to get into the https://cloud.cerebras.ai/ to try the $50/month plan but I can't even get in.

SEEKING WORK | Remote | CET Location: around 46/14

In past 20 years did many different projects, mostly worked with teams 1-5. 60% of projects were related to sport and TV, rest was various other fields. I was jumping between leading, architecting, designing, programming and things in-between :)

Last years I programmed mostly in C# (web services, aspnet, razor, ...) also desktop apps (WinForms, WPF, Avalonia), JS/Typescript (mostly for gui, I enjoyed mithril and now SolidJS). I also did some c++ for various small integrations (for example some plugin for Godot, some ffmpeg, ...) and lately doing Rust – network programs. I mostly worked with GPC 70% , AWS 20%, other 10%.

I like to make GUI/backends that makes sense, are easy to understand (test with users) and performant/fast. Also to last years, with minimum dependencies.

I also have experience with live events setup for broadcast of events, have experience with networks.

I did tons of remote support with people around the world, also know how to use this information to make better programs (or design...).

Looking for 20-100 hours per month.

Your response and what the above is responding to are different things. Being interested in neutral fact finding and due process are polar opposites to just believing someone because they are a woman and distrusting someone because they are a man.

I think the neutral acceptable position, which I acknowledge is my opinion, would be to trust the woman enough to seriously validate their claims. And to persecute the other party proportionate to actual evidence. I think that is an extremely difficult line to tow especially to make people feel listened to but to just go all in on little evidence is bad for society and bad for those people who do suffer real trauma

As I said, UB means that a program has no meaning in the source language. That doesn't change anything I wrote above about the impact of UB. A hardware fault may also make a program meaningless, BTW, yet we all accept that every program written in any language is currently susceptible to UB or to a hardware fault.

If you want, you can think of UB like a mathematical singularity in some physical theory. The theory of the language has nothing to say about what happens in such a program. But that doesn't mean that we can't reasonably talk about what happens not using that theory [1]. Indeed, one of the reasons that UB are of concern is that some of them are frequent causes of security exploits - and that's the thing we ultimately care about, not that the program loses its semantics. But again, not all of them are equally common causes of such outcomes, and not all of them are equally hard to avoid in the first place.

[1]: In fact, this is easy to explain in software: the programming language can say nothing about the meaning of a program with UB - indeed, it has no meaning in that language - but because we do have an executable, the program still has a well-defined meaning in the machine language it compiled to (machine language has no UB, or, even if some machine architecture does declare that some instruction stream is UB, most programs with UB in some programming language still do not compile to a program with UB in machine code). So the program that has no meaning in C++ still has meaning in machine code, and as that is the program we ultimately run and care about, we can talk about which UBs are more or less likely to result in which machine code behaviour.

It says it works with your favorite IDE-- How do you (the reader) plan to use this? I use Cursor, but I'm not sure if this replaces my need to pay for Cursor, or if I need to pay for Cursor AND this, and add in the LLM?

Or is VS code pretty good at this point? Or is there something better? These are the only two ways I'd know how to actually consume this with any success.

I'm as big of a critic of Trump as you are likely to find but......the previous jobs reports was revised DOWNWARD by over a quarter of a million jobs.

OH NO....a 0.15% error (total # of jobs in the US is ~163 million). Revisions of this scale are absolutely normal and have been going on as long as I've been paying attention to job/unemployment statistics. Instead of all-caps-ing absolute numbers, did you pause to ask yourself what kind of relation these revisions have to the standard deviation? I don't understand why you'd come to a site like HN that's full of data scientists and highly numerate folk and then post 'BIG NUMBER!' as sufficient justification.

There's a fair bit of quality difference between different chips and better chips have gotten cheaper. More importantly, default filtering quality has improved with more powerful uCs on the IMU package, which is what most cheap phone vendors are probably using.

The ITAR stuff is way more fun though. It's great to read between the lines for the intended customer in the datasheet.

1,000 messages per day should be plenty as a daily development driver. I use claude code sonnet 4 exclusively and I do not send more than 1,000 messages per day. However, that is my current understanding. I am certainly not pressing enter 1,000 times! Maybe there are more messages being sent under the hood that I do not realize?

> PBS and NPR will continue at the national level, as before.

It is not a given that they will continue as they did before, CPB's funding mostly goes to PBS and NPR for content, some programs are funded more than other via the CPB.

It is likely PBS and NPR will continue, but not as before, the cuts will impact programming and their ability to buy content that's produced at smaller stations that rely on CPB funds more.

A live programming interview measures a candidate's performance in interviews, not in programming. This is because people are very bad at evaluating others' skills; those with more charisma end up winning.

I remember participating in a vote to choose a company's best employee. Whoever came in first place earned a ton of proactivity points. What? That person's work made any proactivity impossible. I asked a friend who had given this person top marks why, and he asked, "What is proactivity?" Charisma wins.

I've worked with several seniors who were terrible programmers, but... they were good, excellent in meetings... and others who threw barbecues for their bosses...

Sure, you can advance in the company and get hired by being very good at what you do, but that's not the rule in my experience.

This has to be a monstrous money loser.

If they can maintain this pricing level, and if Qwen3‑Coder is as good as people say then they will have an enormous hit on their hands. A massive money losing hit, but a hit.

Very interesting!

PS: Did they reduce the context window, it looks like it.

any plugin that allows using an OpenAI compatible endpoint should work fine (eg; RooCode, Cline, etc. for VSCode).

Personally, I use code-companion on neovim.

Maybe not the best solution for vibe coders but for serious engineers using these tools for AI-assisted development, OpenAI API compatibility means total flexibility.

Location: North Carolina, USA

Remote: Probably required - far from a large city. Wouldn't have an issue with limited travel.

Technologies: AWS, Terraform, Python, TypeScript, Terraform, React, FastAPI, Postgres, Docker

Current: Contract work for [x] company doing RLHF / benchmark testing AI models in software dev, computer science and other areas. Sometimes its writing scripts to web scrape large data sets. Sometimes its coming up with input data for real world scenarios and benchmark testing models. It moves fast and varies a lot from quarter to quarter. Sometimes its working on Python tools for agents.

Prior: Grew up wannabe hacker in the 90s on AOL and IRC. Wrote my first programs in Visual Basic 3.0 and first websites on Angelfire and Geocities. Freelance web dev in the 2000s and founded/sold a few websites(nothing major obviously but led to some jobs at other places).

Education / Certs: AWS certifications. Current contract work requires many rounds of grueling FAANG type DSA questions with graphs and algorithm analysis before getting access to high paying work. No formal CS education but I do self-study CS with things Intro to Algs book, Coursera's Intro to Algos. Those qualifications were stressful and the hardest I've experienced yet in an interview. Pretty sure I was aging three times quicker than usual while doing them. I imagine most of my analysis was wrong on many questions but I did get some code to pass tests.

Seeking: I don't know. Current gig pays well but no benefits and inconsistent work from quarter to quarter. I love helping people, making demo videos/blogs/projects, writing documentation. I have a little bit of experience in a lot of areas, and work on review teams + Slack chats helping new colleagues.

They didn't correct it though; when BBC inquired about it their response was a somewhat evasive "We are pointing to the imperative of getting supplies ..."

I did separately point out a couple misstatements in your comments. My point with the UN thing was just that I wouldn't blame anyone for getting a few things wrong, when sources we expect to be credible are actually spreading disinformation.

> isnt an argument I'd like to rely on when my judgment day comes.

I don't believe there's any justification for spreading disinformation like Fletcher's, or any situation where it's wrong to correct it, no matter what humanitarian agenda is involved.

Isn't that precisely what an API is? Normal users do not use the API. Other programs written by developers use it to access Claude from their app. That's like asking why is an SDK phrased as a special kit for developers to build software that works with something they wish to integrate into their app

> This effect serves to constrain changes to the implementation, which must now conform to both the explicitly documented interface, as well as the implicit interface captured by usage.

Let's be clear that this is one interpretation of the phenomenon described here, which we might call "The Doomerist Interpretation of Hyrum's Law". For everyone else, the whole reason that we bother categorize interface details into "public" and "private" buckets is precisely so we have the moral high ground to to tell people to go kick rocks when they get they get uppity about their own failure to adhere to the publicly documented interface.

OpenAI will never be profitable selling raw tokens.

They need the application layer that allows them to sell additional functionality and decouple the cost of a plan from the cost of tokens. See Lovable, they abstract away tokens as "credits" and most likely sell the tokens at a ~10x markup.

The idea of running a company that sells tokens is like starting a company that sells MySQL calls.

I'm a Product Engineer and a creative based in London. I’ve built full-stack applications across web, mobile, blockchain and embedded platforms. My client-side work includes React, Electron, Roku’s Scenegraph, and native iOS development with Swift and SwiftUI, always with a strong focus on UX and design-first thinking. On the service-side, I’ve worked with traditional service hosting, containers, and serverless, including (but not limited to) AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, Workers, CloudFormation, SAM CLI, nodejs, bunjs, MySQL, Postgres, NoSQL, grpc, Redis, Docker, nginx, and a few legacy tools best left unnamed (yes, including CodeIgniter and ftp).

I’ve also developed developer tools like CLIs and SDKs, primarily JavaScript land, and have written code in systems languages such as Rust and Zig.

In the AI space, I’ve integrated models via the OpenAI SDK, leveraged prompts, LLMs, and explored LangChain/LangGraph.

I care about clean code, great UX, developer experience, documentation (yes), rapid iteration and automating workflows with CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Bash scripts, etc).

The market Tesla is advertising to is not airplane pilots. It is the general car buying public.

If they are using any terms in their ads in ways other than the way the people the ads are aimed at (the general car buying public) can reasonably be expected to understand them, then I'd expect that could be considered to be negligent.

Much of the general public is going to get their entire idea of what an autopilot can do from what autopilots do in fiction.

> those who want to parse a JSON document with a YAML parser.

I've done it. We already had a YAML parser in an internal library I maintain since we were already ingesting YAML files for other reasons, so when we later added new files for a different reason that someone decided should be in JSON instead, it was easier and cleaner to keep using the existing YAML parser we already had incorporated rather than add a separate JSON parser along side it.
