This is amazing. A true proof of work. Have you considered finding hashes with leading zeros or making sure each hash starts with 1337?

In other words, in a single year you did the amount of work that would take 20-50 years of a regular software engineer to complete?

So, it would take roughly two months to complete a project at the scale of SQLite or TeX.

Still cheaper than giving up the monopoly position.

Thanks for the link, very interesting data structure.

I'm wondering is it really worth dumping a general knowledge articles into code comments? To me it feels like the wrong place. Would just the wikipedia link be enough here?

I also notice a lot of comments like this

  // IsEnd checks if this is the EOF sentinel
  //
  // Example usage:
  //
  // if pos.IsEnd() {
  //     // We've reached the end, stop searching
  // }
  func (p *Position) IsEnd() bool {
      return p.Offset == EOF
  }

Is it really necessary to have a text description for a code like "a == b"? It would be really annoying to update comment section on every code change.

This is one of the typical issues when AI creates "code comments", because it always describes "What" is happening. A good comment should answer the question "Why" instead.

For the linked skip list module, a good comment could say why skip list was chosen over b-tree or other data structure and which trade offs were made. AI will never know that.

I put Overview section from the Readme into an AI content detector and it says 92% AI. Some comment blocks inside codebase are rated as 100% AI generated.

The solution, for sure, is not asking how to do this online. What worked for me is resolution that cheap dopamine leads to degradation.

I have a brilliant phrase for you, it's called a baggage without a handle. It's hard to carry it with you and it's a shame to throw it away.

I was in very very similar situation and just put the lights off. You can't trick your brain to do hard work for free. Why spend your time working on something that unsuccessful when you can work on something that you actually like?

They don't seem to link any source code or demo. They could have run Claude for 10 hours to write thousands of the verge articles as well.

A brain recognises futile effort with minuscule success rate and hints with procrastination.

People invented unions to prevent things like this.

Once enough people do that, they'll fix this

I can’t help in any way, but I’m just curious why you decided to transfer it as a luggage and not as a carry on? Why it didn’t have something like an apple tag inside it and why it wasn’t ensured and didn’t have a backup? Did you research Pegasus before the flight to see if it has a good service?

Can it be a chance that customs didn’t allow your luggage to be transferred?

Softbank or Microsoft can’t be happy or sad. CEOs only care about the share price going up while they’re holding the wheel. If Sam wants to start the idea incubator, why would they want to shut it down?

Would love to see a project you built with the help of AI, can you share any links?

No one knows what will be in the future. As mentioned in the discussion, the possession of bitcoin can be simply outlawed.

As an extra note, total bitcoin supply is just the chain spec. It can be changed.

How large is the file? Past certain sizes it's faster to move it by truck rather than available internet channel.

This sounds very similar to mac apps that should be signed by valid apple dev account.

Epsilon is fast emacs

Adding youtube (and other services) to /etc/hosts so they won’t load works for me. I also noticed when I’m sleep deprived even slightly, I procrastinate way more.

I found it useless for code generation as it generates pure technical debt. It works quite nicely for code review as it’s way better at catching boring stuff like typos, type mismatches, and extra opinion is always helpful.

It would be nice if OSS maintainers would start charging for extra security features like signed releases at least $1k/y per project.

Can you use something like patreon / gumroad?

The whole project is implemented in a single git commit. AI detector says README.md has 95% chance of being AI generated. The code has way to many comments.

I don't want to disqualify you or anything for using AI, but how much effort was spent on this?

The code doesn't work in subtle ways, has low level of craft and slowly halts development speed over time because abstractions haven't been well thought of. It looks good on the surface if you doesn't care to spend energy investigating why it's not or don't have enough experience to see the sloppy work.

Some models can find unprotected networks and connect automatically to them the same second someone accidentally opened such network and upload all accumulated data.

Build only when you have unfair competitive advantage with finding customers for your service.

The benefit will go to the buyer as 20% more road for the same price. The road workers will get performance reviews now, as any slack will drop production to a higher degree. The stuff turnover will increase as people can maintain that performance level only during short period of time and any injury will disqualify you instantly.

There will be more buyers because more people can afford road at that price and other businesses will benefit from more roads: shops can sell more tires, road repair and snow cleaning companies will have more work. Road building companies will delay hiring new hands as long as possible.

At the end, what we'll end up doing is working more for less money under higher pressure because any slack multiplies faster. With more companies buying cheaper services, there will be less stable companies who shouldn't be in the business anyways but who now is on the verge of bankruptcy and will make life of other businesses way more stressful and unpredictable.

According to CEOs of leading AI companies, we're three to six months away from AI replacing software engineers and recruiters, although it isn't clear who recruiter AI agent will be interviewing by then.

Anthropic CEO, Mar 2025 - "AI will write 90 % of the code for software engineers within the next three to six months"

Perplexity CEO, Jul 2025 - "Recruiters will be history … AI agents will replace them in six months"
