itemize123··on Is Meta destroying its engineering organization?
what decisions did the CEO do that you would believe is poor? Just conceptually if examples are make you too easily identifiable - iam purely curious.
itemize123··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
u cant compare productivity to games on the metric of bring joy - ofc productivity tool isn't bring joy like a game does.
itemize123··on I design with Claude more than Figma now
how come? this is a very weird take- why is the focus on ppl suffering instead of like fairness or capital / market efficiency ?
itemize123··on LLMs are eroding my software engineering career and I don't know what to do
Would you explain this - " I'm starting to think we would get more done if nobody on my team used Copilot." ?

Interesting to see if you why you see it destructive. I can certainly see that a lot of the times, copiloted solutions are working but less than ideal

itemize123··on LLMs are eroding my software engineering career and I don't know what to do
don't agree with your logic at all - agree with your conclusion. your logic is deeply flawed - a) you've to justify mediocre engineers not been necessary, the mechanism they are pushed out by LLM matters. b) relative ranking is useless - it's the difference between absolute ability and that is close for say top 50% most likely. This might mean half of us will lose jobs, and half see compensation pressured but it's not as certain as your argument make it out to be.
itemize123··on Sam Altman and Dario Amodei are both walking back AI jobs apocalypse predictions
if it helps - i strongly agree with you
itemize123··on Jira Is Turing-Complete
it's actually easy to be turing complete. it's a feat for a system to be non-turing complete and be "complex".
itemize123··on DeepSeek makes the V4 Pro price discount permanent
does your pricing take account of cached vs uncached token?
itemize123··on DeepSeek makes the V4 Pro price discount permanent
they are doing it through state investment vehicles - so it's in the same way US companies can (but won't)
itemize123··on Appearing productive in the workplace
is it a net-win for the company? Are the AI-TOD any good?
itemize123··on Appearing productive in the workplace
what would you say the disconnect was? Was it a simple case of that your teams' not comfortable with merging AI code?
itemize123··on Appearing productive in the workplace
nothing foolish about trying even if he too thinks it's inevitable. it's foolish however to think that there won't be nuances of such a future (and somehow no one can influence the nuances).
itemize123··on Appearing productive in the workplace
yup - security reviews.
itemize123··on DeepSeek V4 – almost on the frontier
run it hosted on another provider - it's less censored there
itemize123··on DeepSeek V4 – almost on the frontier
actually distillation is without weights - you basically just need a black box teacher model.
itemize123··on DeepSeek V4 – almost on the frontier
try on another provider - it is open weights.

it will be more expensive when subsidization ends? how is it going to be more inclusive?
itemize123··on Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
agreements don't always hold up to legal scrutiny. In cases where it is unreasonable, it won't be able to stand up in court. And in any case, this is not a legal matter but a user experience / public opinion one
itemize123··on Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
you are being very disingenuous. there are certain expectations from a software vendor. taking things into extreme, if something install malware as an update on your computer, is it not a silly claim that it is free for vendor to do so?
itemize123··on DeepSeek V4 – almost on the frontier
with physical access right?
itemize123··on Microsoft Edge stores all passwords in memory in clear text, even when unused
basically very verbose and detailed but also very indirect. didn't get to the point till the end.
itemize123··on Regression: malware reminder on every read still causes subagent refusals
same, i really dislike opencode's UX. there are a lot of agents harnesses actually. check out terminal bench 2.0 for example. dirac.run seems to be make the rounds earlier
itemize123··on $1,605: average annual ad value of a U.S. Google user
google's the middleman, and it won't capture the whole 1600 right?
itemize123··on AI should elevate your thinking, not replace it
you are missing the picture here. would you then agree that agentic + selection is better than hand-written + selection? in that case, even if the advantage is project selection, nobody would choose to work in a hand-written way right?
itemize123··on GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing
unless the 5.4 price is a huge loss leader for them
itemize123··on GPT-5.5
probably the wrong take - they are arm racing to a better model. it's not enshittification era for models just yet
itemize123··on SpaceX says it has agreement to acquire Cursor for $60B
obviously no. if algos work in china, it will work with spacex
itemize123··on SpaceX says it has agreement to acquire Cursor for $60B
make the point directly - you are just avoiding further justification
itemize123··on Show HN: boringBar – a taskbar-style dock replacement for macOS
