Lionga··on Ask HN: Any example of successful vibe-coded product?
Why do I read about all the vibe coders claiming to be 20X engineers in LLM threads and replacing many departments. Yet here is not a fking single commercially successful thing here?

Funny also how Loveable and the like are hiring engineers like crazy, yet think engineers are not needed anymore. Why not just vibecode Loveable itself? Oh wait I can tell you why.

Lionga··on We pwned X, Vercel, Cursor, and Discord through a supply-chain attack
It would have been. Ten times the amount at least.
Lionga··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2025 – Show and tell
Angry Scam Altman noises who "made" 20 Billion by spending 100 Billion
Lionga··on Opus 4.5 is the first model that makes me fear for my job
Dario Amodei claimed "AI will replace 90% of developers within 6 months" about a year ago. Still they are just loosing money and will probably will be forever while just producing more slop code that needs even more devs to fix it.

Good job AI fanboys and girls. You will be remembered when this fake hype is over.

Lionga··on Our "enterprise" experience with Stripe after $1B+ processed (be careful)
Stripe has become shitty for big and small players over the years. Small guys get screwed and just plain scammed, big players just push and pushed into higher fees. Have seen it in many projects as a freelancer.

You can maybe use them for a quick prototype because the APIs/SDK just work well, but for anything serious look for alternatives.

When OpenAI Marketing Material is actually showing how far Gemini3 is ahead...
Lionga··on Covid-19 mRNA Vaccination and 4-Year All-Cause Mortality
It goes the other way too. It's hard to imagine a {EU,German,whatever} institution releasing a scientific study that directly contradicts the administration's viewpoints out of fear of reprisal via loss of funding or even shakedowns.

Lionga··on Anthropic taps IPO lawyers as it races OpenAI to go public
Dario Amodei gives of strong Adam Neumann vibes. He claimed "AI will replace 90% of developers within 6 months" about a year ago...
Lionga··on AI Is Breaking the Moral Foundation of Modern Society
Why not go to Haiti if it so good there? No doubt US (or basically 90% of other gov.) are shit, but Haiti must be one of the worst.
Lionga··on A new AI winter is coming?
It seems to work well if you DONT really know what you are doing. Because you can not spot the issues.

If you know what you are doing it works kind of mid. You see how anything more then a prototype will create lots of issues in the long run.

Dunning-Kruger effect in action.

Lionga··on Major AI conference flooded with peer reviews written by AI
But it works it was peer reviewed! (by AI)
Lionga··on Language is primarily a tool for communication rather than thought (2024) [pdf]
Based on your definition a child that can not speak/understand language yet can not think? Hint: It clearly can.

There are a lot of things I can think about that I do not have words for. I can only communicate these things in a unclear way, as language is clearly a subset of thought, not a superset.

Only if your definition of thought is that is is language based, which is just typical philosophy circular logic.

Lionga··on We stopped roadmap work for a week and fixed bugs
how will the poor engineers get promotions if they can not write "Launch feature X" (broken, half baked) on their promotion requests? Nobody ever got promoted for fixing bugs or keeping software useable.

And this kids is how one bug got fixed and two more were created

Lionga··on OpenAI may not use lyrics without license, German court rules
Youtube pays the music owner. OpenAI can never pay as even with stealing content they still manage to loose 5 dollars for every dollar they make.
Lionga··on SoftBank sells its entire stake in Nvidia
I was a skeptic in AI crapware, but if SoftBank is selling Nvidia to the moon is almost a guarantee
Lionga··on ChatGPT terms disallow its use in providing legal and medical advice to others
maybe that is why they opened the system to porn, as everything else will be soon gone.
Lionga··on Michael Burry a.k.a. "Big Short",discloses $1.1B bet against Nvidia&Palantir
Why do you have to come with facts to ruin his fan fiction porn about Burry getting margin called?
Lionga··on YouTube erased more than 700 videos documenting Israeli human rights violations
This will be the year of PeerTube on the Desktop!!!
Lionga··on AI scrapers request commented scripts
So if a house is not not locked I can take whatever I want?
Lionga··on How OpenAI uses complex and circular deals to fuel its multibillion-dollar rise
Altman was screwing / raping his sister so not quite sure who is worse.
Lionga··on The next chapter of the Microsoft–OpenAI partnership
Has OpenAI not also committed to spending a few hundered billions at NVIDIA? I mean whats another few hundered billions when you are making so much profit.

Wait, they are not making any profit but already losing billions even before any of these "investments" ?

Lionga··on The next chapter of the Microsoft–OpenAI partnership
I herby declare I have developed AGI. Check mate atheists
Lionga··on Meta is axing 600 roles across its AI division
Maybe because there are just very few really useful AI tools that can be made?

Few tools are ok with sometimes right, sometimes wrong output.

Lionga··on The Accountability Problem
100% bullshit speak from agile coach who has 0 idea how software development actually works, but wants to sell C Level the new shiny idea.
Lionga··on AGI is not imminent, and LLMs are not the royal road to getting there
A decade to AGI is still insanely optimistic, borderline delusional. A century or never might is way more realistic timeline.
