No one I know with a Ferrari drives it more than a few dozens of km.

I know many people like you. Don't project your mentality onto someone else.

People who can "pull up a facade" are a subset of the population

Ironic

If you know these things you can take them into account while driving the AI.

Sorry, I don't buy your argument

I feel like we are of a similar age. This is great advice. My small company is growing and i'm thinking this is the path so I don't need an IT helpdesk.

Do you still use vi or were you meaning vi(*) and actually use something else? I've been on vim for a while but happy to go back to vi

Have them make something difficult and time consuming to make, out of a flammable material, then as soon as it get's a pass from a supervisor they have to burn it.

i love HN but also starting to think it's time for us oldies to have our own one: cost of entry, having a distant memory of booting linux from a floppy

if you are a level 11 uber hacker and know how to do that.

I had to do it a bunch and after many many times I still couldn't remember without looking at my notes

Experienced distiller here. This comment is spot on.

wading through sites is still a thing? web search is still a thing? ok

I run a hardware company now (thankfully in the age of AI), as a direct consequence of reading Bunnies book 'hardware hacker'

Thank you Bunnie.

wow, what a cnut

So that blurry eye vision I get in the morning could be from gravitational lensing from dark breakfast?

Thanks, can't wait to read these, didn't know they existed

Are you saying that with the models from 3 years ago, with the right context management and prompting, your C snake game would fail?

I agree with you, expectations are not being set correctly.

That's my point. Learn to use the tools, including as they were three years ago, and magic does happen

Bummer. I Don't want him to lose his Kiwi status. Can't wait for him to escape the apocalypse to NZ, that's gonna be hilarious. Not for him though...

I listened to a conversation between two superstar developers in their 50's, who have been coding for more than most readers here have been alive, about their experience with Claude Code.

I wanted to tear my ears out.

What is crystal clear to me now is using LLMs to develop is a learned and practiced skill. If you expect to just drop in and be productive on day one, forget it. The smartest guy I know _who has a PhD in AI_, is hopeless at using it.

Practice practice practice. It's a tool, it takes practice. Learn on hobby projects before using it at work.

"The Outlaw Sea" is a book about the long history of the complexity of responsibility, ownership, in international shipping and the ships themselves. It's very good, it should be on the HN standard reading list, much like _The Box_.

I'm only interested in comments here from people who have an understanding of the complex world of outsourcing responsibility.

TL;DR: International cooperation isn't at a level where ANY country/bloc can have an impact on how their own waste is disposed of. The idea that magically that will happen with clothing is an admission of ignorance of this fact in decades old industries.

We need more and stronger international laws. The opposite of the current US administration's influence.

I had to 'contact sales' to request an enterprise license to cover the period where we transition away from mattermost.

Great product, but trust is everything when it comes to such a core part of a company. They fucked up, real bad.

I'll use this while we transition away, unless there is a community fork which is sustainable and is firewalled from the morons at mattermost org who fouled this all up

I've always like the idea of retiring to the 19th century.

Can't wait to use this so I can double check before I hit 88 miles per hour that it's really what I want to do

Ha, it might be real this time, ironically all thanks to MS!

I've been Linux only for around 15 years personally, but I don't push it on others.

A few weeks ago I told the company our few Windows machines are going to be sunset-ted. No push back (other than a request to have one for the odd thing - but will do that in a VM. Even the devs who have always been on Windows are up for it.

At home my kids use computers for playing and making games. Windows was the path of least resistance. I realized it'll make essentially no difference to them to switch to Linux. And boy do kids adapt quickly.

So thanks MS, sincerely. I've never both worked and lived completely Windows free, but your encouragement to drop Windows has made me realize how painless it is, and I should have done it years ago.

Edit: One guy is on mac. And always will be. No issue there IMHO

Browsh [0] - it runs firefox headless, and renders everything to ascii in the terminal

It's glorious

We use Proxmox.

NVidia are pushing hard in the direction of combined accelerators and ARM CPU (i.e. DGX, Thor, Jetson, etc).

Some of the upcoming hardware hits a sweet spot in terms of performance / $ / W. It's hard to ignore.

But Proxmox is ignoring ARM. Which is a big mistake IMO

I'm CTO of a TINY company, with pretty much exactly half this data. I run all storage and offside backups personally, because I can't afford a full time sysadmin yet.

And the cost of everything is PAIN to us.

If our building burned down we would lose data, but only the data we are Ok with losing in a fire.

I'd love to know the real reason. It's not some useless tech... it's politics, surely.

This is now my favorite page on the internet.

What a massive breath of fresh air.

Just yay.

I'm probably in the minority here, but for me it's a foregone conclusion that it will become a better therapist, doctor, architect, etc.

Instead of the rich getting access to the best professionals, it will level the playing field. The average low level lawyer, doctor, etc are not great. How nice if everyone got top level help.

RIP. It was a great service and really well run.
