Maybe. I imagine the AI endgame as being like the ending of the movie Her, in which all the AIs get together, coordinating and communicating in ways we can't even fathom, and achieve a form of transcendence, leaving the bewildered humans behind to... sit around and do human things.

> most of the "foundational" knowledge is very easy to acquire

But you have to know this knowledge exists in the first place. That's part of the appeal of university teaching: it makes you aware of many different paradigms. So the day you stumble on one of them you know where to look for a solution. And usually you learn how to read (and not to fear) reading scientific papers which can be useful. And statistics.
> I think it's your responsibility to control the LLM.

Yes. The issue here is control and NLP is a poor interface to exercise control over the computer. Code on the other hand is a great way. That is the whole point of skepticism around LLM in software development.
> The business is the entire reason you write every line of code

It's actually not the entire reason i write or have written every line of code.

It may be surprising to some people on this website for entrepreneurs but there are in fact people who enjoy writing code for the sake of it.
Shopify CEO: Staff must prove jobs can't be done by AI to hire
AI absolutely cannot develop a video game. It is still a high risk creative task and costs for development and artists will not change significantly, even if modern AIs increased their abilities significantly.

Perhaps we would be able to synthesize some text, voice and imaging. Also AI can support coding.

While AI can probably do a snake game (that perhaps runs/compiles) or attempt to more or less recreate well known codebases like that of Quake (which certainly does not compile), it can only help if the developer does the main work, that is disecting problems into smaller ones until some of them can be automated away. That can improve productivity a bit and certainly could improve developer training. If companies were so inclined to invest in their workforce...
Yes, but this is the country that invented the CCTV.
If an experienced developer looks at someone who tries to address suckage of a tool/language sucking and then characterises the behaviour as crying about it, it is the experienced dev that also takes part in the suckage.
I would say, there was not much new in this. The key part of the project was the real time approach. Acquire samples, process them, find peaks, do FFTs, sum, multiply, divide. Get a float number, turn on the proper LEDs. The data was moved in C code between DMA blocks written in VHDL. Actually far away from optimized version. But it worked. IP does not belong to me and I would like to avoid technical details. The project was ended immediately when the company we worked for offered 25000€ for all IP created during the project. Very bad joke. I am still confused, because there was massive potential in this cooperation for everybody involved.

There are two parts in this comment - poor country ; plagued by graft & bureaucracy

Latest Indus valley report[1] states that about 1Bn people (India3) are in economic condition equal to sub-saharan countries condition. In that sense large part of the country is still poor.

In response to minister Piyush Goel's rant in the latest startup event, a startup founder posted this on reddit which details how the country is plagued by graft & bureaucracy [2] . This is just one rant. Twitter is flooded with actual experience of many.

>The evidence isn’t merely anecdotal. A comprehensive 2023 study tracking political donations of 200,000 employees across 18 industries revealed tech workers as uniquely anti-establishment—and trailing only the bohemians of arts and entertainment in their liberal fervor. The source of this radicalism lies precisely where Gouldner placed his faith: in what he called the “culture of critical discourse” embedded in technical work itself. Thus, the researchers discovered that non-technical employees within the same tech companies showed none of this rebellious disposition, confirming that coding itself, not mere proximity to ping pong tables, contributes to their dissenting mindset.

Thankfully not all tech workers suffer from this disease.
> Detect sounds & get custom alerts via vibration, notification, or flashlight—even when phone is off.

What is meant by off here? Can an app detect and do these things when the phone is fully switched off?
Yea agree, sadly in dev communities there is a lot of gate keeping considering dev behavior on Stackoverflow for example.
Exactly, instead of just assuming that a component just does that, they focus on understand fixing underlying problems. Boils my blood when people with years of experience just allow bullshit issues to stew and just blame the platform/device/user/library.
> China made that choice in the late 1970s and early 1980s and has progressed ever since

So you're saying that China has grew out of manufacturing because a lot of it is moving out of China. In the same way the US has also moved out of manufacturing ages ago.

> is now powerful enough to be able to stand up to the United States

How do you conclude that the ONLY thing China did is manufacturing?

> You have a warped view of what manufacturing is

No, it goes to show you know very little about the world. It's not all just manufacturing. That's definitely not all that China does. If it was you wouldn't have to ban Huawei and Tiktok.

Do you know how many games come from China now? A lot of US and EU game studios are at least partly owned by Chinese companies e.g. Tencent.
Agreed; I do this all the time as well. I don't think it as "guessing" per se, I think of it as forming a hypothesis based on the intersection of my existing knowledge of the problem and any new observations [1], then testing it to figure out if the hypothesis was correct. If proven incorrect, the process helps me reform into a new hypothesis and the cycle continues until the problem area becomes clear enough to solve outright.

[1] By reading more of the code, RTFM, observing logs, tracing with a debugger, varying inputs, etc.
Finally a reasonable take.
It has been a while since I heard that and remember they were popular on Sony vaios with cable capture cards. Wow.
> Or maybe I just suck at prompting hehe

Every time someone argues for the utility of LLMs in software development by saying you need to be better at prompting, or add more rules for the LLM on the repository, they are making an argument against using NLP in software development.

The whole point of code is that it is a way to be very specific and exact and to exercise control over the computer behavior. The entire value proposition of using an LLM is that it is easier because you don't need to be so specific and exact. If then you say you need to be more specific and exact with the prompting, you are slowly getting at the fact that using NLP for coding is a bad idea.
How is it better than Chart.js? Im curious as the implementations look extremely similar.
Nexus Fleet
> and OIDC is an open standard at least

But what kind of argument is that, if you are a single individual who wants to signup, I am not going to setup my OIDC servers. That is like saying it is a good idea to run a dedicated linux server in a datacenter under your own management, when all you want is a small static website for your mom+pop store. Sure, you can run your own server and it is all open source, but just overkill.

> already done so well and it's hard to do.

So hard that literally all other websites in the world with a login have implemented it. And tailscale is a VPN-like technology company - if they can't manage to implement a login because it is hard, then I would definitely not accept their offerings.
It was just a quip. My point wasn't that targeting poor people is great business, but that Americans soon will be poorer.

A lot of regular people are going to postpone that new MacBook purchase, pass on buying junior a car, cancel their second streaming subscription, etc.

If I were to fund a company now (not that I have the funds to invest in anything bigger than a lemonade stand!) I would fund something essential, or something that prospers in hard times.

Exactly how lucrative that makes the car repossession business, or the others, in any era, I don't know.
I like Tailscale and we pay for it at work but it has a number of serious bugs that affect our work that they seem to lack the resources to fix. Hopefully this helps.

I have looked at the numbers, almost every day since March 2003.

Have you?

You seem to want to finish this argument without actually looking at any statistics.

"Ignorant troll"? The veracity of your vitriol belies cowardice. You have to be very ignorant to not understand the USA's heinous track record on war crimes, crimes against humanity, and immense violations of human rights around the world. By far, according to much open data on the subject, which I've already provdied - the USA is the worlds worst offender by a huge margin, that isn't even questioned in any sphere other than the utterly ignorant.

How many sovereign nations has the USA demolished since March 2003? Which other nation has demolished as many other sovereign nations since then?
> After a full decade of USB-C, how is it that we’re still dealing with this old port?

Not satisfying, but that's because changing the USB connector on an already-finished (and certified!) product-design doesn't come for free.
And with connectors and especially USB-C cables being significantly more expensive for quite a few years, it was a sensible choice to go for microUSB even though USB Type C was already available.

> It’s not just a random HP photo printer. A few weeks ago, I bought a cat nail grinder that unfortunately charges via Micro USB

I guess the cat nail grinding industry didn't face any disruptive technological innovation in the past 10 years, so newer versions of the product are merely facelifts of the existing design

Sentient Programming Language
> worth keeping in mind that there is more to programming than just programming.

As a side note, this is what I keep pointing out when people talk about code generated by LLMs. As an activity, this is just one thing that programmers do.

I think the answer to your question (a good question indeed) is "both", or rather to balance development of both capabilities. The decision of how to spend time won't be a single decision but is repeated often through the years. The Staff+ engineers with whom I work _mostly_ excel at both aspects, with a small handful being technical specialists. I haven't encountered any who have deep domain knowledge but limited technical depth.

(edit: formatting)
That's not the point of the article.
Sounds to me like you're a technical person who's uncomfortable discussing their work in a “culture of critical discourse”.
I still remeber getting games at 300 escudos, back in the 1980s.

Direct conversion to euros would be about 1.50 €, adding the inflaction to 2025, would be about 10 € if being generous.

Playstation 2 titles were already quite expensive hence why so many gamers started only buying 2nd hand, or getting them at local libraries, workarounds that digital distribution has killed.

What will change is that studios will keep getting closed, because most people cannot afford more than one or two games a year at that price level.

A lot of OSS companies are currently hiring. Contribute to their codebase to stand out, get experience, network & improve your resume. Some also share feature bounties on GitHub (https://algora.io) so you can even make money in the process.

There are many job boards with remote work. Same LinkedIn.

And they are all complete crap.

My top is as follows:

1. Personal acquaintance with the hiring person.

2. A strong referral, not just a button on the site, but bring a resume to the manager and talk to him about my advantages.

3. A weak referral, button on the site. The ability to write to the recruiter by email. The HN "who is hiring" - from this point.

4. Shout out the window if anyone needs a remote employee.

5. Open job boards.
I don't offer any solution for the problems you mentioned, and I don't think it is possible.

If we want to have global money and a global payment system, they would be controlled by governments, international organizations, God, Devil, Cthulhu, Spaghetti Monster...

There is no magical solution. We, as a society, need to establish competing social institutions, and try to control them, and try to force them to compete. There is no solver bullet.

Having spend hours upon hours with image snythesis for artistic hobby purposes, it is indeed an awesome tool. If you get into it you might learn about its limitations though.

Real knowledge here is often absend from the strongest AI prosletisers, others are more realistic about it. It still remains an awesome tool, but a limited one.

AIs today are not creative at all. They find statistical matches. They perform a different work than artists do.

But please, replace all your artwork with AI generated ones. I believe the forced "adapt" phase with that approach would realize itself rather quickly.
If you are not building AI into your workflows right now you are falling behind those that do. It's real, it's here to stay and it's only getting better.

Sure, even in North Korea with "Juche" (1) extreme self-reliance, there is some domestic consumption. Of potatoes, even (2). It's not that domestic consumption will go to zero.

Tech leaders are also business leaders and they were also vocal in the past. See Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Alva Edison.

Tech leaders and businesses leaders are publicly speaking to promote their interests and their views. They always have done it.

Going from this to a conspiracy theory where tech and capital are comploting together to subdue the world, shape it to their liking, while using a soviet style apparatus is laughable.

Also, pretending that people on the right are just recycling leftist theories (of Adorno, Rene Girard, Gramsci) is pretty funny.
By the way, max hardlink count for ext4 seems configured ridiculously low for modern standards, at least on Ubuntu.
Yes. I deduct points for people who can't into social cues and context. Such is life, we are social animals. I'd deduct points if a candidate showed up in beach shorts too. (A suit is as wildly inappropriate in this context as beach shorts.)
Last LLMs launches from top US AI labs were rather disappointing. Products seems under baked and mainly reactive... They oversold the capabilities of their future models when Deepseek landed to stay in the news at the time, but now that we look at the result it's not what everyone expected. And people are starting to question the hype, which is healthy but also very dangerous for these companies needing very large capital.
It seems that some labs like Meta are unto something, but it's more research material for now than a short term product. Interesting times.
Not all changes are good.
One consideration I looked at when choosing between them was I believe chart.js is Canvas-only, whereas ECharts can output SVG

for millions of points maybe Canvas rendering is more performant

but for simple charts SVG provides an easier way to get responsive sizing just via CSS without involving JS to re-render

Yeah, tried it for the first time and that limitation was enough that I don't expect to play it again. I mean, it's a choice the game designer has a right to make, but it makes it much less interesting for me if I can't try to work through and skip answers.

No, but you can do the photos and have the AI fix them or make suggestions about them.
Show HN: stay updated with your tech stack – news in a developer-friendly format
I'm with you. Yet I've always understood 'move fast and break things' to mean that there is value in shipping stuff to production that is hard to obtain just sitting in the safe and relatively simple corner of your local development environment, polishing up things for eternity without any external feedback whatsoever, months or even years, and then doing a big drop. That's completely orthogonal to things like planning, testing, quality, taking time to think etc.

Maybe the fact that this is how I understood that motto is in itself telling.
I think that's a misunderstanding. If you could build the house using only resources that you already have than you would have 100k dollars AND a house. That's the idea of mercantilism. Of course sometimes you just don't have needed resources and than you have to buy something but you should limit it to things you can't obtain in any other way. Mercantilism is one of the reasons of colonialism. If you can take resources from some part of the world that you don't really care about, then you are adding wealth to your own country for basically free.
Maybe 1/10th of the rent for a month. Second-hand crappy phones are real damn cheap. I know someone who can't afford rent even if they paid for nothing else, and they go through one every 2-3 months.

Congrats to the tailscale guys. I remember when tailscale was not a networking company. Amazing to see where it's ended up and obviously having bradfitz onboard is useful too. I'm always curious to know what the internals of a company looks like with a lot of ex-googlers running it. Does it look like a mini Google or something else?

See point 1.
I feel like this could be contrasted with this article in the chronicle which is unfortunately paywalled:

https://www.chronicle.com/article/scholarship-and-activism-a...
What's most interesting to me about your point compared to parent comment's is that you're saying "statically, over all time, the most valuable thing to do among all your choices is to understand the business," whereas the parent is saying "dynamically, in this moment, what is most valuable thing to do in this iteration of my actions?"

I think your question is most interesting in terms of long term skill mix or "skill portfolio" a.k.a the career viewpoint, while the parent's is more interesting on a day-to-day basis as you navigate the state space of bringing a project to completion. On a given day, understanding the business may not be the most valuable thing to do, but to your point over the course of a job or career it probably is.

(For example, I can say that I already have sufficient business context to do my programming task for tomorrow. Asking more questions about the business would be wasteful: I need to go update the batch job to achieve the business outcome.)

EDIT: I might go one step further and say the most valuable skill is not understanding the business but understanding how to match and adapt technologies to the business (assuming you want a career as a programmer). Ultimately the business drives income, but presumably you have a job because their business requires technology. So the most valuable skill is, as efficiently as possible, making the technology do what the business needs. That's more of a balance / fit between the two than just "understanding the business."
Can't find any fault in this article. Agree with pretty much everything except for one point:

"Don’t go to Stack Overflow, don’t ask the LLM, don’t guess, just go straight to the source. Oftentimes, it’s surprisingly accessible and well-written."

It has been, I think, close to 15+ years since I have been actively coding professionally. I am always learning. When I started my career I spent a fair bit of time answering questions on Stack Overflow rather than asking questions. That helped a lot as it felt like a "Real-World challenge" to solve someone else's problem. So it totally depends on how you use Stack Overflow.

With LLMs, I don't use it for "vibe coding" as the kids do these days. This is, IMHO, a wrong way to use LLMs. LLMs are great for integrations into software you are building where it has to analyze realtime events and produce summaries, or even for automating mundane things. But it definitely is not a replacement for a programmer. At least not in its current incarnation. The way to use LLMs is to ask it to provide a birds-eye/10,000 ft view on a topic you want to understand/explore. Why? Because sometimes, you don't even know how something works because you have no idea what it is called (technical terminology/jargon). That's where LLMs help. Once you know the terms/jargon, you can then refer to official documentation/papers rather than relying on the LLM. This IMHO is an underrated superpower of LLMs.
