Capitalism is a scam against the working class. I dont know how people can read things like this and not want a huge reform. The OP "just following orders" is ridiculous.

Also, whenever the question "where are the tech unions at," comes up ,its because the system crushes anyone who is slightly left leaning in this regard.

Excerpt:

You’d be one of the best people they’ve seen in years, and unlike the people around them, you’re honest and ethical. The thing that’s holding you back is… a reputation problem. People Google you and think, “This guy’s going to start a union.”

This is going to make it hard to place you. Guys like [name] don’t like people they can’t buy. If I were you, I’d start blogging again and come out against unions. Do that for six months, and I can put you anywhere you want to go.

> And those implementers should make decisions, Google should be bound by the FTC to supporting their recommendations.

Is your proposal essentially that Mozilla defines web standards Google is legally bound to implement them?

> what's really funny here is how absolutely horrified people are by the suggestion

Not horrified, but asking what the alternative is. I don’t think you’ve actually got a sensible proposal.

Cooperation in the WHATWG is voluntary. Even if there were some workable proposal for how to drive web standards without Google having any decision making power, they could (and presumably would) decline to participate in any structure that mandated what they have to build in Chrome. Absent legal force, no one can make Google cede their investment in web standards.

The only actual problem with cheating is leaderboards.

When you have accurate matchmaking, you will be playing against other players of a similar skill level. If you we're playing in single-player mode, it wouldn't bother you that some of the players were better than others.

Whether the person you're playing against is as good as you because they have aim assist, while you have a 17g mouse and twitch reflexes shouldn't matter. You're both playing at equivalent skill levels.

The only reason it matters to anyone is that they want their skills to be recognized as better than someone else's. Take down the leaderboards, and bring back the fun.

I say, let the people cheat.

I think we are not even close to using the potential of current LLMs. Even if capabilities of LLMs would not improve, we will see better performance on the software and hardware side. It is no longer a question of "if", but of "when" there will be a Babelfish like device available. And this is only one obvious application, I am 100% sure that people are still finding useful new applications of AI every day.

However, there is a real risk that AI stocks will crash and pull the entire market down, just like it happened in 2000 with the dotcom bubble. But did we see an internet or dotcom winter after 2000? No, everybody kept using the Internet, Windows, Amazon, Ebay, Facebook and all the other "useless crap". Only the stock market froze over for a few years and previously overhyped companies had a hard time, but given the exaggeration before 2000 this was not really a surprise.

What will happen is that the hype train will stop or slow down, and people will no longer get thousands, millions, billions, or trillions in funding just because they slap "AI" to their otherwise worthless project. Whoever is currently working on such a project should enjoy the time while it lasts - and rest assured that it will not last forever.

Yea not all major have rss feeds, but it seems like the majority still do.

No translation yet.

I think the biggest problem is im relying on published date from the news source itself too much and its wrong sometimes... not super often, but if 1 out of 100 sources get its wrong then it can steal credit for being source article when its not.

You're completely misinterpreting my comment. The point is we don't know what, if anything, is "inside" of a neutrino, not just due to current technology but ultimately due to uncertainty principles. But we still study it. I'm aware of how we came to study it.

I literally said nothing about "how" we discovered it, I said, "We don't know what's inside a neutrino, and it's really hard to experiment with them, but we kind of know why and how they interact with different things."

It is wild how you would take that and my analogy about drawing a circle on a map with respect to qualia to mean that I said anything which contradicts the history of neutrino research.

I'm going to assume this was just a true misinterpretation and not just another straw man, so with that in mind, do you have a different response?

We were hitting the usual wall: change prompt, commit, CI/CD, deploy, test, realize it's wrong, repeat. This took forever.

Then we wondered if we could remove the agent logic from our codebase altogether.

Agent behavior is really just data with some logic. What if we stored the entire workflow (prompts, logic, and routing rules) as an artifact in our DB, loading the correct/current behaviors live.

Stof provides a solid platform for this. We can A/B test agent strategies by customer segment, personalize the generated agent per user, roll back & test changes instantly, and version/manage our agents with Git.

Switching our workflows to be self-contained, portable Stof artifacts has sped up development significantly and has provided the flexibility we need to treat our agents as separate from our codebase, while remaining maintainable.

Theres a big difference between Enterprise-Level software and games.

Windows earns money mainly in the enterprise sector, so that's where the backwards-compatibility effort is. Not gaming. That's just a side effect.

Anecdotal, you can run 16bit games (swing; 1997) on Windows, only if you patch 2-3 DirectX related files.

My perspective is just as valid, and I also wrote,

>I'm not for/or against a particular style

... so I'm not sure why some of you took offense in my comment, but I can definitely imagine why :)

>Ex-colleagues reach out to me and ask me to work with them

Never happened to me, that's the point I'm making.

1. I wish work just landed at my feet.

2. As that never happened and most likely was never going to happen, I had to learn another set of skills to overcome that.

3. That made me a much more resilient individual.

(4. This is not meant as criticism to @arthurfirst's style. I wish clients just called me and I didn't have to save all that money/time I spend taking care of that)

can't comment on west coast but from perspective in NYC, i think the market for SWEs willing to work in office here is very good. might be different since there's lots of different industries hiring for SWE roles in addition to typical tech "startups" here.

i've noticed that folks who want to work remote having a tougher time if they're looking for tech jobs. makes sense if you look for jobs at a local non-tech company, you might have better luck.

generally seems like remote jobs have the most competition so if you can find jobs localized to your market, you will have more luck there.

Duranta | Full-Time | Staff backend engineers | Location: Seattle, WA or NYC | On-site

Company: we're a small startup (pre Series A) building a business-in-a-box solution for landscaping companies, initially targeting the US. It's a huge market with more than 700000 companies in the US alone but with very little good software. We're looking for a very experienced backend engineer (senior/staff level) capable of taking ownership and leading the development of entire systems.

We keep our infrastructure as simple as possible, so the entire backend is in Golang with Postgres+S3 as the data storage layer. And a bit of Terraform for the infrastructure.

We're NOT a standard "AI startup" doing LLM wrappers, but we do have our own computer vision AI that we use to produce models from satellite imagery. So if you're interested in working on unusual AI pipelines, we have plenty of work there too.

Our frontend is a React.Native app, and we're working towards having full feature-parity inside a regular webapp.

Experience:

* Go backend experience

* A lot of experience with distributed systems

* Designing robust APIs (we're using ConnectRPC)

* Ideally experience with offline apps and database synchronization

* The usual: infrastructure-as-code, Docker, Github actions, OpenTelemetry, etc.

Salary: $170-$210k and equity

My post obviously struck a nerve, but I would rather pay a higher subscription fee than experience a crappy customer experience. Ads are an exception here, if I'm paying, no ads, and also why I cancelled my NYT subscription long ago.

However, that is not the storyline services like Disney and Netflix have been telling. They have gassed on and on about stopping piracy. 2 screens isn't piracy, it's any family with someone who travels or is away at college.

The solution would appear to be an official android API for streaming content from mobile devices that has resolved these issues or locked out the rights holders. That would require spine so not expecting it, sigh. But they're sure happy to pick on sideloaders.

If it is just a tool, it isn't AI. ML algorithms are tools that are ultimately as good or bad as the person using them and how they are used.

AI wouldn't fall into that bucket, it wouldn't be driven entirely by the human at the wheel.

I'm not sold yet whether LLMs are AI, my gut says no and I haven't been convinced yet. We can't lose the distinction between ML and AI though, its extremely important when it comes to risk considerations.

People are still playing Battlefield 4 (2013) on user-hosted servers. Right now.

The only way that "around the world" can be relevant is ping, and the best way to manage ping is by sorting a list of servers by ping.

Cheating is an arms race that no one needs to participate in. Moderation was a perfectly good workaround until major game studios decided to monopolize server hosting.

Paperwork is a tool, not a process. Maybe the right process does involve paperwork, maybe it doesn't. Further, even if the right process involves paperwork, it doesn't mean that adding more paperwork has improved the process.

And it's important to note that our opinions on what is slow are often biased by our time with poor process where things seemed to be getting done quickly because they weren't being done properly. You can cook chicken in a fraction of the time if you don't check whether or not it's reached temperature; a process that prevents salmonella is slower, but it's not slow.

Your example is a case of shifting from bad paperwork to better paperwork. Tickets were being filled out, but not with the required information and the wrong people were labelling things poorly. The newer process involves information that should most definitely be recorded on a good ticket. People might complain about having to go through the process, but is there any actual evidence that it has introduced excessive delay to legitimate high priority tickets? My guess would be that actual high priority tickets are the ones you most want a detailed explanation of what's going on, and the ones that should be immediately reviewed by a senior person to verify accuracy.

>what's really funny here is how absolutely horrified people are by the suggestion a single company which has a monopoly shouldn't also define the web platform

They don't. In general browser specs are defined via various standards groups like WHATWG. As far as I know there is no standard for what image formats must be supported on a web browser,[0] which is why in this one case any browser can decide to support an image format or not.

Ask HN: Coding experience with Gemini 3 Pro
by sottol | 2025-12-01 17:46:14+00:00
Maybe it is my way of using Gemini 3 Pro but I don't see the benchmark gains of 3 Pro over 2.5 Pro reflected in my daily use at all. There's definitely none of that "wow-factor" when Gemini 2.5 was released.

Is anyone seeing significant improvements in day-to-day coding use? If so, it would be great to get a glimpse into the use-case (language, application area, complexity) and how the model is "driven"/used.

Yeah after reading the intro lines I noped out of this garbage blog (?). Maybe it's their SEO strategy to write the flat-out untrue incendiary stuff like "the technology is essentially a failure" - If that's the case, I don't have time for this.

Maybe they actually think this way, then, I certainly have time for this.

As far as Consumer LLMs go, they don't really have competition. Well they do, but it's more Google vs Bing than Android vs Apple. 2nd place is a very very distant 2nd and almost all growth and usage is still being funneled to Open AI. Even if it's 'easily copied', getting there first could prove extremely valuable.
by wat10000 | 2025-12-01 17:46:49+00:00
It's suspicious when it lands on something that people might be biased towards.

For example, you take the top five cards, and you get a royal flush of diamonds in ascending order. In theory, this sequence is no more or less probable than any other sequence being taken from a randomly shuffled deck. But given that this sequence has special significance to people, there's a very good reason to think that this indicates that the deck is not randomly shuffled.

In theory terms, you can't just look at the probability of getting this result from a fair coin (or deck or whatever). You have to look at that probability, and the probability that the coin (deck etc.) is biased, and that a biased coin would produce the outcome you got.

If you flip a coin that feels and appears perfectly ordinary and you get exactly 100 heads and 100 tails, you should still be pretty confident that it's unbiased. If you ask somebody else to flip a coin 200 times, and you can't actually see them, and you know they're lazy, and they come back and report exactly 100/100, that's a good indicator they didn't do the flips.
