>If the goal is not to eliminate the white race (which some left figures actually promoted as I see it from the outside, so why you even wonder?) then what does that change? Unnatural/unassimilated immigrantion is a real concern for those who value their cultural climate. What's wrong with having these concerns or values?

About 5 or 6 months ago, here on HN, there was a headline from a major/reputable news source that said the Canadian government wanted a population of 100 million (when they currently have 30ish million, and fertility rates that will see their population shrink instead of grow). Whether there are any racist designs on the white race or not, it's clear that governments consider all of us completely substitutable/expendable, and they will replace us (almost certainly regardless of our skin color, come to that). No one's trying to hide this, it isn't a secret. Very few are so dumb as to not realize that something's up. So whenever anyone tries to debunk the various conspiracy theories about X replacement it can only sound like lies.
Amen Brother. Yes delegating all the work to AI will be a net loss.
I feel like it's a little unfair when it's coming from "eddyg".
The UK also has strong opinions about ID.
Same, always have copilot autocomplete turned off. I do use the chat, but rarely.

I was using it as docs but had to stop because it gives straight up wrong answers while sounding so confident. It's just faster to go directly to the docs or use Dash.app
Conversely, it must take a truly wild level of indifference towards American politics to watch globalism go up in flames and cheer. Regardless of where you stand on the aisle or how old you are, surely you can't feel much hope for America's economy watching the Apple supply chain capsize. The economy isn't scripted by Seth McFarlane, America's automotive business and manufacturing bases aren't going to start hiring again overnight.

America has supported perpetual war in Palestine for decades and will continue to do so regardless of how globalism fares. There is not an informed citizen in America that will take this rhetoric seriously, we treat Tel Aviv like they're fighting WWIII but can't spare Maxar access to Ukraine during an active conflict.

You want to associate globalism with conflict so badly, but you just can't deny that America will wage war regardless. It's tragic.
I think the conclusions and the advice for new programmers is valid. The comparison with the FSD is not very relevant in my opinion but it may be, I just don't see it, as it is a very different kind of skill. I would separate the preference from the "objective truth" and your goals. I think as a technologist you need to keep using AI if not for any other reason then only to keep up with the progress of the technology and have a first hand experience. For projects that I mainly do to learn, I disable autocompletion (Cursor) and type every single character by hand. For some other projects where I am more interested in the end result I am allowing autocompletion and most of the time I read and make sure I understand the generated code.
I somewhat disagree with this. In real life, say in some company, the inception of an idea for a new feature is made in the head of some business person. This person will not speak any formal language. So however you turn it, some translation from natural language to machine language will have to be done to implement the feature.

Typically the first step, translation from natural to formal language, will be done by business analysts and programmers. But why not try to let computers help along the way?
It's obviously the only real end game to this policy. Asia needs to divest itself off US bonds, which China has been slowly doing the background of late. No matter how it plays out, it's looking like higher interest rates, inflation, and foreclosures for everyday citizens and SMEs are going to be on the cards for the US, and it's going to take something akin to religious faith for people to tolerate the hardship on the way to this promised renewed prosperity.
Their sleep is obviously problematic, but they're able to fall asleep (just not for long).

Have little sympathy for them as an actual insomniac where I simply can't fall asleep no matter how tired. Hours and hours of laying there, wishing sleep would take me away.

Maybe I get an hour, two is a bonus. Body breaks down, can't eat, can't sleep, barely functional.

It isn't just "reopen the plant" - it is "reopen the plant and match economic conditions in the time period from the 1950s-1990s".

Just reopening won't bring back the comparably high wages from that time period.
> Europeans start buying less iPhones

I wonder... they're all made in China anyway. And shipped from there directly, not through the US. I'm sure that either the US tariffs won't apply to them, or Apple will shuffle some subsidiaries so they don't.

Too little, too late. Already happy with Proton since 5+ years and it keeps getting better. Enterprise mail was a mess back then, now it's doable. In 5 years it should be good.
Just look at actual facts. There are many links in this thread.

You also seem to think everyone has a car and thus a driving licence.

And that's before talking about voter roll purges, gerrymandering and putting ballot boxes and stations away from "certain type" of voters.
Well, does the American public make it viable for a politician to push for expenditure of taxes on supporting the "less fortunate", say in terms of re-education or, you know, subsidizing social safety nets? If income inequality was such an issue, why did Americans put into power a billionaire to design the economy twice? Lol
So the full faith and credit of the US Treasury is thrown away just like that?

No one collects the debt. It’s just redeeming treasury bonds. If they are no longer good then the sub prime crisis is going to look like a minor economic wrinkle.
This feels similar to articles with titles such as "Why every developer should learn Assembly" or "Relying on NPM packages considered harmful". I appreciate the core of truth inside the sentiment, and the author isn't _wrong_, but it won't matter over time. AI coding ability will improve, whether it's writing, debugging or planning. It will be good enough to produce 90% of the solution with very little input, and 90% is more than enough to go to market, so it will. And yes, it won't be optimal or totally secure, or the abstractions might be questionable but...how is that really different than most real software projects anyway?

> you're highly unlikely to going to grow up with liberal views in Tennessee

Don't pretend like Nashville doesn't exist. It's very much rural very homogeneous areas versus more urban and diverse areas. It's much easier to label entire demographics as The Enemy and then vote to elect someone to attack The Enemy when you've literally never met The Enemy and just rely on what your news stations of choice tell you. Who The Enemy is changes. It's been women's suffrage and and civil rights. It's been "Mexicans" and Arabs and Gays and now Trans folk. But conservatives will literally always have The Enemy to rally against.

Growing up in more diverse areas means you're more likely to have met a Muslim who doesn't want to "kill or convert you" or a trans person who just wants to live a normal life in the best way they can, or a DACA recipient just trying to make a life in the only place they have ever known as home. Knowing these people builds empathy for outgroups. The key trait conservatives seem to lack. More they seem incapable of comprehending it. So "liberals" can't support "illegal immigrants" because they actually want the best outcome for people. That's a concept conservatives can't comprehend. So it must be that liberals support them for all the "illegal voting" that "illegal immigrants" are doing. Never mind that these people cannot vote. Never mind that if these people could vote, they are far more religious and far more likely to ascribe to the conservative social political agenda. It makes absolutely no sense that "liberals" support "illegal immigrants" to capture their votes. But that's a hard fact to conservatives.
For me it robs me of the feeling if achievement of I finish a complex task with AI.

It’s not me who figured it out so it’s not my achievement
Someone on the subreddit was talking about how they plan to make a high-end carbon fiber chassis for the 13. That was a few weeks ago - I don't believe they've posted anything since their initial post.
I completely agree with this assessment. I also keep my editor separated from the AI stuff. The way I talk about it is that using AI completions will create distance from the code. And just like a sports car driver sits close to the car and as low as to the ground as possible, I think of using non-AI editing like seated inside of a low to the ground sports car. While AI coding is floating above the car and controlling the steering with wires.
Are you less productive though? Businesses ultimately only care about what gets shipped.
There is no national id (other than passports; but most people don't carry theirs on themselves in their own country) because driver's licenses (issued by states) serve the same purpose. We don't have a non-DL id (that's popular at least).

Anyway, this is sort of by-the-by. Most adults have driver's licenses, and no one in Alaska is going to reject your Tennessee-issued DL so it is a de-facto national id.

Seems unlikely, at least in the near term. These are LARGE amounts of good to be shifting, and they don't shift overnight. Plus, if the tariffs calculations are really based on trade imbalance, who's to say Columbia won't get slapped with more tariffs as soon as they start making and exporting more goods to the US. Pretty risky to be opening up a bunch of factories only to be tariffed to death right after.

I do the same now, I don't use Cursor or similar edit-level AI tools anymore, I just use inline text completions and chat to talk through a problem, and then, I'll copy-paste anything needed (or rather type it in manually just to have more control).

I literally felt myself getting AI brain rot, as one Ask HN put it recently, where it felt like I started losing brain cells and depended too much on the AI over my own thinking and felt my skills atrophy. At the end of the day, in the future, I sense there will be a much wider gap between those that truly know how to code, and those that, well, don't, due to such over-reliance on AI.

A VAT-registered company is either able to purchase VAT-free or is refunded the amount of VAT it pays (by offsetting against the VAT it has collected, up to getting actual refunds).

Effectively VAT is only paid by consumers.

NB: in you example if the company has paid more VAT than it has collected in the period then it gets an actual refund.

That is a hellish look toward the future. To be clear I don’t think you’re wrong, if companies can squeeze more out of devs by forcing them to use AI I bet they will, move fast and break stuff and all that, but it’s still quite the bummer.

Do new tab groups work with the new native vertical tabs?
What you're describing was precisely our culture at the last startup.

One group plans ahead and overall do a solid job, so they're rarely swamped, never pull all-nighters. People are never promoted, they're thought of as slacking and un-startup-like. Top performers leave regularly because of that.

The other group is behind on even the "blocker"-level issues, people are stressed and overworked, weekends are barely a thing. But — they get praised for hard work. The heroes. (And then leave after burning out completely.)

(The company was eventually acquired, but employees got pennies. So it worked out well for the founders, while summarily ratfucking everyone else involved. I'm afraid this is very common.)
.NET library MassTransit going commercial with V9
I've recently disabled code completions, it's too much mental workload to read all those suggestions for so little quality.

I still use the chat whenever I need it.
In things that you don't do often? Definitely. I bet every backend developer loves it for frontend tasks, at minimum. And things like makefiles and bash scripts become easy and enjoyable to do well. No need to leave the editor to look up errors or at least get some ideas and pointers on them too. It all depends on how you use the tool, for us it was great help, and God mode for many things
You are right I suppose. We pay it and then we can get some of it returned.
I like to code with minimal emissions, something thats never talked about with LLMs for some reason.
Arena: Arena Allocator implementation in pure C as an stb-style single-file lib
I also stopped using AI code editors, but for different reasons. I realized, that with advances like Gemini 2.5 Pro, AI will soon be able to implement whole features, with correct prompt. So the real skills is how to prompt the AI a maintain the overall architecture of the project. I wonder if the IDEs like Cursor or Cline will ever be needed in the future; as for myself, I stopped investing into learning them. I currently use 2.5 Pro + Repo prompt app which prepares prompt and then apply the result to codebase semi-automatically.
>that gives thugs free rein to grab people who are not harming others off the street, and imprison them, is immoral,

What's harm? Do they have to have harmful intent, or would you object if their presence was unintentionally harmful? Does the harm have to be grievous bodily injury, or is economic harm enough? Why am I allowed to evict trespassers from my home even if they're causing me no physical injury, but the government isn't allowed to evict trespassers to our country unless they can prove some violent felony? It isn't some fundamental human right to live within the borders of the United States.

Show HN: FlashTokenizer – 10x faster C++ tokenizer for Python

I also do most of my coding artisanal, but use LLM for semantic search, to enrich the research part.

Definitely never trust an LLM to write entire files for you, at least if you don't want to spend more time in code review than writing or you expect maintaining it.

Also, a good quote regarding the AI tools market:

> A lot of companies are creating FOMO as a sales tactic to get more customers, to show traction to their investors, to get another round of funding, to generate the next model that will definitely revolutionize everything.
> Last December, after months of worried research and work, we converted our Northern California home from gas to electric.

If you don't get why your utility bills nearly doubled - was "Research" your dump stat? Or were you so obsessed with the "fossil-fuel-free" bit that you didn't actually care about the monthly bills?
That’s like saying „I don’t use C anymore because that makes me forget how to use machine language.“ Humans build ever complex systems by building higher abstractions. I don’t need to know how electricity works to switch on/off the light. Learn how to build differently using AI tools. You cannot stop the trend by sticking to old ways.
No those factories will shift too its a domino effect.

I completely agree with you.

However, when I'm working on my own time, fixing those poorly-hammered nails can take 1/4 the time _most of the time_. If I see that the AI (artificial intelligence) is unable to handle the task, then I redelegate it to my own NS (natural stupidity) and bang it out slowly but properly.

AI makes coding boring and tedious. But it happens faster so I can take on more projects, or have more time for other fun things that I enjoy more than actually coding.
As a professional armchair economist, I would call it a power off rather than a reset.

It took over a hundred years for countries to once again have economic trust with France again when they went hard on tariffs in the 1600s causing war.

Who in their right mind would negotiate with a man known to rip up existing agreements on a whim?!

I have a feeling that this will knock the United States down a peg economically to the point where we look back on Liberation Day as America’s Brexit

I don't think it's really any different than how most products are made currently, do you think most startups are caring about security and things that would slow down their initial release? All the rest is tech debt that can be solved once product market fit is solved.

The only thing I'd worry about is when no one knows how to solve these when everyone relies on AI.
I don't think the graph agrees with the essay.

In the essay, the "unintentional moderate" is defined as someone who holds all kinds of views, some from the far left, some from the far right, some from the middle - but by chance the average of their views makes them a moderate.

I had to go looking for that, because the graph doesn't show that at all. I think the graph is a bad take on the ideas in Paul Graham's article.
I'm the person who has to clean up the garbage out. Most people have no idea if it's garbage or not. In fact I'd argue that they have little ability to assess quality having never been exposed to it. That's the only reason this technology has any interest. Not because it's good but people aren't good enough to tell if it isn't.

On that note, I'm sure Sonnet 3.7 does indeed approach the asymptote of not good enough better than Sonnet 3.5.
> The effective pair wise tariff rate of these countries

Only if you calculate them wrong. E.g. for the EU they included sales tax as a tariff, which makes no sense since that applies to ALL products. Domestic or otherwise.

I also stopped using Cline as well as Claude Desktop + MCPs. Gemini for example is rushing forward, Google surely is putting huge resources into developing it, and if in the matter of months AI will be able to implement additional feature itself in 0-shot, why bother with IDE?
I know, having lived there in the past, but they are not in the EU anymore.
