ex-aws-dude··on An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry
Lets just be real its because a lot of programmer's ego is built on intelligence/being a coding wizard and this threatens that ego

If suddenly anyone can code we're not that special anymore.

You're just stating the opposite of the commenter with no additional discussion

Its like just commenting "I disagree" its totally pointless for discussion.

That's why you're getting downvoted if you're wondering.

ex-aws-dude··on Google changes its search box
Yeah but google will inject ads, my future LLM bot will filter them out

Why would I want to be restricted to google’s “view” of the info

ex-aws-dude··on Google changes its search box
Take it one step further, the ultimate endgame is everyone consuming things through their own LLM assistant

In the future I don't even use Google but my bot does

ex-aws-dude··on The last six months in LLMs in five minutes
Is the RLVR the key breakthrough for the uplift or is there more to it?

Does that suggest the uplift was only for things that are easily verifiable like code?

ex-aws-dude··on I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis
That’s funny I’ve been doing that too

Trying to crank out all the tools I never had time to build because I think we’re going to get cut off eventually

ex-aws-dude··on I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis
Yeah I don’t get it, the parent is a pretty reasonable take

If you still hold code review to the same standard and just make the agent do incremental changes rather than vibing the results are pretty good.

ex-aws-dude··on Waymo updates 3,800 robotaxis after they 'drive into standing water'
That's so much extra complexity
ex-aws-dude··on The Emacsification of Software
That's going to be huge thing in the future I think

Everyone having their own hyperspecific apps or even different UIs/visualization in the same app

The whole idea of an application becomes a much more fluid thing

If your app is built with a dynamic language why not let users re-write the code themself and add whole new features

ex-aws-dude··on Googlebook
They just show that for widgets but I think that will be a big thing in the future

Everyone and their mom will have their own hyperspecific custom apps prompted into existence

Something like Claude Code with stricter sandboxing built into the OS for consumers

Not just desktop either but also on phones

ex-aws-dude··on Amazon employees are "tokenmaxxing" due to pressure to use AI tools
Imagine selling a product where companies are foaming at the mouth to increase their spend and pay you more money

It does not get any better than that

ex-aws-dude··on Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career
Who said you need to trust it? Reviewing code is still way faster than writing code.
ex-aws-dude··on Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career
Exactly, the argument makes sense if its about inference at runtime

But that's not the case here

ex-aws-dude··on I'm going back to writing code by hand
That’s what I found too

I have to periodically get it to do a bunch of refactoring

ex-aws-dude··on Ask HN: Will low quality AI customer support be the new normal?
It’s part of the continual squeeze of more water out of the same rock

Something that was table stakes in the past would now be seen as crazy for a company to spend money on

ex-aws-dude··on US Government releases first batch of UAP documents and videos
Hackernews try not to somehow mention LLMs in every thread challenge (impossible)
ex-aws-dude··on Agents need control flow, not more prompts
Exactly, just keep adding more agents
ex-aws-dude··on Ask HN: Is there a term for feeling sad about forced AI adoption?
Do you actually see your co-workers blowing past you in productivity?

What is driving you to feel this adoption pressure? Is it the actual results other people on your team are producing or just the discussion/hype?

ex-aws-dude··on Ask HN: What is your go-to solution for a personal wiki in 2026?
The part I'm a bit confused about with obsidian is how it works with a mobile app

My understanding is every device syncs its own full copy of everything?

So if you have a lot of images/PDFs, does your phone have to be able to hold everything at once?

ex-aws-dude··on Vibe coding and agentic engineering are getting closer than I'd like
I don't understand what you mean by the last point

If I generate code with an agent and review it and iterate back and forth until the quality is as high as I would write myself, the end result is no different

I'm still in control of holding it to the same quality level?

With agentic coding there is still a human reviewing the code, that's the main difference from vibe-coding

The rules are just to try to guide it and save iteration time but there is no illusion that they are actual hard rules since everything is statistical.

> Such paradigm assumes that LLMs are perfect reliable super accurate rule followers

That's the whole reason we're not vibe-coding, we are well aware of that.

ex-aws-dude··on Appearing productive in the workplace
That’s the thing, if you don’t use it someone else will

And it’s hard to argue against seemingly instant results

ex-aws-dude··on Appearing productive in the workplace
It’s like walking a dog that keeps pulling off the path
ex-aws-dude··on Appearing productive in the workplace
That’s the funny thing is the only way to battle it is with more AI

In the future everyone will have a bot and our bots will just handle all interactions

ex-aws-dude··on Appearing productive in the workplace
Was going to say the same

ex-aws-dude··on Computer Use is 45x more expensive than structured APIs
You are because that requires you to expose that API for every single piece of software ever
ex-aws-dude··on Computer Use is 45x more expensive than structured APIs
Yeah but why would we keep that around for 20 years with no good use case

Its vibes all the way down
ex-aws-dude··on Talking to strangers at the gym
> activities suggested by r/Syracuse like volleyball and trivia night require you to already have friends

That's not really the case for volleyball

Most cities have drop-in where you just show up and form teams
