K3UL··on As A.I. makes law firms more efficient, clients ask: 'Where's my discount?'
Not the same thing because you are talking about employees, not customers. The way a corporation sees it is that it means they need less developers for the same (or more) delivery. And then it should mean a market more in their favor, so actually lower wages
K3UL··on Goodbye Google
Thanks for the link, it seems interesting!

The hugging face is hardly a warning shot of anything close to that scale. For now, I don't see (not saying there's not, I'm trying to also understand why these smart people think like that) any indication that the current development of AI will be as dangerous as some describe.

I understand the idea that if we let it control nukes, if we let it fully decides if a med is safe, etc. It poses a huge risk. But honestly I really don't see indications that it's going majorly this way, nor that it has anywhere the capacity to do something that big. It found a zero day and hacked a niche website, ok, so what?

This feels like a diversion from the actual existing and proven problem of all the problematic practices it's actually built on.

I would adhere way more to "we need to pace Ai because it could be catastrophic for society (jobs, cognition, loneliness,...) and environment" than "it has the potential to kill us all"

K3UL··on Goodbye Google
Maybe because it sounds like a lot of exaggerating ? I get the risk of disrupting the economy or the job markets, or cognitive risks.

But saying it will bring us to doom, comparing it to an extinction-level event, really ? I don't see in which world AI is that kind of risk.

I'd rather my politicians finally have some long-term plan about climate and energy than focus on AI slowdown or not. Climate change is way bigger risk right now that Opus 7

K3UL··on Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energy
You can also check the report from RTE (French grid operator) that models several scenarios and mentions this security of supply thing

K3UL··on Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energy
Because what is true for these 3 countries is not true for all countries. There are counter-examples where nuclear is cheaper.

In most countries which don't have the advantages of Australia or Finland, you do need a mix as the OP was saying

K3UL··on Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energy
So many reactors off was a special event of delayed maintenance, things are done so that does not usually happens. And it's not true to say that Germany reactivated coal reactors for French lights.

Germany activated coal to reduce dependance on gas, and Germany exported energy to France because of the maintainances ; you know, the old correlation =/= causation.

That one occurence over 4 decades, I would say we can dare to call it pretty reliable

K3UL··on Trying the software factory pattern
Someone who thinks doing this while driving hardly resonates as someone who cares about safety or quality
K3UL··on How to Build an AI Software Factory: Agents That Open, Review, and Merge PRs
Can I ask what you're building? Genuine question, you gave a detailed setup of your agents and I wonder about the context

I'm also curious where the discuss part comes from, because I guess you don't just let them start on a basic prompt without any context

K3UL··on Project HydraFusion: Frontier quality via multi-model orchestration
Considering the people thanked in the article are the same who wrote the paper I linked, and the similar mechanisms, it's more than likely
K3UL··on Project HydraFusion: Frontier quality via multi-model orchestration
I would imagine they did not test against Fable because Microsoft and GitHub (like many big companies) have internally given the instruction not to use this model, because of the data retention policy.
K3UL··on Project HydraFusion: Frontier quality via multi-model orchestration
I think the name probably has to do with this research from Microsoft (same people involved and a lot of similarities in the way it's conceived.

K3UL··on HomeOS – A self-hosted family dashboard for a kitchen touchscreen
This is so true, especially to have it more seamless in the house and a better wife acceptance factor.

I had a "discussion" on this exact subject with Claude recently, trying to figure out how to do it. The final suggestion was a mix of a regular small tablet (control center), e-ink tablet (like trmnl) for a couple status dashboards, and the part that i found the most interesting: electronic shelf labels.

There is a protocol called OpenEPaperLink that has native integration for HA, and then you can buy various size of tags on sites like AliExpress.

I have not yet tested it so it's just an LLM output for now, but I do like the idea.

K3UL··on The Death of Educational Content on YouTube (Fern) [video]
fern talks about how their videos are plagiarized at scale, as well as other educational content.

As someone who now has to review so much slop in PRs, I can absolutely relate to the experience of Pascale, their fact checker.

K3UL··on Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look [video]
Just from the video you can gather that there's much more than just a visual upgrade. The fact that you can apparently just rob random stores, that there seems to be specific ways to open cars (so different cars, different difficulties?), the variety of activities, and the pnjs that seem to remember you, etc. I was afraid it would not live up to the hype, but now I think it just might
K3UL··on Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look [video]
I was honestly surprised, I was really expecting that it was at least from a ps5 pro. Even the 30fps did not shock me
K3UL··on The Hugging Face incident and the road ahead
Not really true considering they say that the super secret "research internal model" that was pivotal, is particularly optimize for that purpose exactly

> The internal-only research model is comparable in scale to GPT-5.6 Sol and was trained to advance persistence and multiagent collaboration, among other capabilities

K3UL··on Show HN: Argentic – An L402 Lightning toll booth for AI scraping agents
This is unenforcable ; if humans can read for free you should consider machines can too. This is the whole decades-old cat and mouse of websites with paid APIs and scrapers
K3UL··on Show HN: Argentic – An L402 Lightning toll booth for AI scraping agents
I don't understand what's the point of this ? Seems like a project whose whole reason to exist is to name it, rather than an actual problem in need of a solution
K3UL··on Europe's scorched landscapes seen from space after summer heatwaves
I think the biggest issue is actually even further that these ones: it's the population itself. Overpopulation has been a huge driver, and it's a problem without a solution ; but it's still too absent from the conversation, especially because the system and the economy rely a lot on the population growing.

But i agree, in absence of a good solution for this part, the next best thing is a change of habits for the people.

K3UL··on Implant – an extension to VS Code that exposes its APIs to coding agents
JetBrains actually HAS done this, and made a protocol out of it: https://www.jetbrains.com/acp/
K3UL··on Databricks drove down AI coding spend 70%
Weirdly a lot of the come from company that sell Ai credits in some capacity, and who are also selling (or will soon) some kind of AI gateway or router
K3UL··on Managing AI Coding Costs at Scale
The output yes, but do you produce the impact and value of 3 engineers? I have seen this workflow being toyed with too, and I find it to produce massively overengineered stuff that actual people don't really wanna use
K3UL··on Cloudflare OS: an open platform for agents, apps, and work
Sounds like you are describing a platform, not an OS.
K3UL··on Xbox goes down. You can't play games you own on disc
I keep seeing article like this, that look like they have been written by these companies to push the opinion. People saying "who cares because you cannot play it anyway" instead of "discs should be less dependant on network to gain another advantage".

But the case for physical disk is not (only) about playability, it's mostly about ownership and the fact that you can actually lend it to someone or resell it. It's also about retail, and it's about collectors. About people with a slow or limited connection having access with that much less to download.

Another thing is also that if I have a physical copy, I have the right to a digital copy. So a non-working disc might not always be the end. But if I have a digital copy and they take it off the table, I do not have this right and it is gone forever.

K3UL··on Devtools must be open source
This is in my opinion the single most important revolution that will come from llm in the dev space. Not vibecoding or replacing entire teams.

Its this and also the ability for non dev to create their own little tools (for productivity, entertainment, family life, whichever).

I think they will put back the "personal" in personal computing

K3UL··on ICE Collected Nearly 1M People's DNA Last Year–Including Young Children
As someone who loves Gattaca, no thanks !
K3UL··on Fast Remediation Is the New Trust Model (JFrog and OpenAI Zero-Day Findings)
This seems unlikely as it would mean JFrog knew the vulnerability before OpenAI, which this blog posts clearly says the opposite
K3UL··on Harness Engineering
Prompt engineering, context engineering, now harness engineering. I guess in a few months we'll have looped back to software engineering ?

All these buzzwords for basically what's glorified tweaking and configuration. All these years I should have mentioned I was doing Debugger Engineering and IDE Engineering
