Yep. Headline is clickbait. Never bet against Elon.

Yes.

Why not 302 instead?

tl;dr If you don't use ngx_http_rewrite_module, you're fine

Honestly it's such a weird feature, if you're doing complicated redirects like this in nginx where PCRE is necessary, you should do it in your application code. And if you need speed use ngx_http_lua_module.

Same. But I agree with the parent, I always got the vibe it was a giant racket between public schools and TI. Writing code for it was probably cool back in the 80s-90s but it's so dated now.

I mean it's not complete nonsense, but yeah, doing it for security reasons sounds like BS. I actually thought this was going to be about how AI makes it super easy for someone to steal all their code and fold it into their own competing project. I've seen a few open source projects get sideswiped by this, AI is pretty good at copying code (and obfuscating the fact that it was copied). I suspect that's the real reason but it doesn't sound as good. So they went with this half-truth.

I'm sorry but I'm having a really hard time understanding what you're saying. The first sentence I cannot understand at all. As for the second sentence, I think you might be confused about my usage of the term "Alphabet boys", which is slang for the intelligence agencies: https://youtu.be/lLf84LPzlVc?t=61 it seems like you thought I was referring to Google's parent company.

So in that case, the system has access to the plaintext, therefore the Alphabet boys have access to it as well. Unless, of course, you believe Apple isn't cooperating with them.

Am I missing something here? Maybe I'm missing a subtle detail.

I'm confused. You mean the iOS system notification would display the decrypted message in plaintext? Or do you mean the iOS system notification would display the encrypted message (i.e. it would be unreadable)?

Good eye.

You are correct. I jumped the gun there, a little bit.

Gotcha thanks for that info. Yeah that's insane. You have to read the description of a YouTube video to understand what a project on Github is doing. There is no architecture here.

This is definitely not worth using. It doesn't even say what hypervisor its using. Is it using QEMU? Docker? Podman? Lima? Colima?

And also this chart is super weird:

    Solution  Latency  HiDPI    Native Integration  Setup Complexity
    Cocoa-Way Low      Yes      Native windows      Easy
    XQuartz   High     Partial  X11 quirks          Medium
    VNC       High     No       Full screen         Medium
    VM GUI    High     Partial  Separate window     Complex

A standard VM will always be the easiest to set up by far. And latency should be the same across all 4. I mean after all it's a VM running on your local machine. Honestly I don't even know what it means when it says "Latency".

I also looked at some of the code and it's using OpenGL 3.3 Core which is... super old. But it makes sense in the context of this being LLM-generated since most of its training data is probably OpenGL 3.3 Core code....

Overall this project is very strange. It makes me feel more confident in my skills, AI isn't all that great. It's all hype. You can get to the frontpage of HN. And if you're Peter Steinberger you can get acquired by OpenAI for a billion dollars. But that's about it. The code isn't getting any better.

This reminds me of that C-compiler-in-Rust publicity stunt by Anthropic. There's no substance. It's just a headline.

And with the R&D that went into the Steam Frame, the difference between x64 and arm64 is becoming negligible. You can target x64 Windows and can reasonably expect it to run on Android via Winlator.

If it wasn't for NeXT and Valve we would still be in the dark ages. Linux sucked for gaming until Valve poured all that money into Wine.

I started with Windows 98. Didn't experience OSX until 2010. 9 years wasted.

Windows was so bad that it made the web bad. Imagine the world we'd be in today if Internet Explorer never existed.

Yep that's from the same comment I quoted. Decent chance it's not even a real person.

The people glazing these tools can't design systems. I have this founder friend who I've known for decades, he knows how to code but he isn't really interested in it; he's more interested in the business side and mostly sees programming as a way to make money. Before ChatGPT he would raise money and hire engineers ASAP. When not a founder he would try to get into management roles etc etc. About a year ago he told me he doesn't really write code anymore, and he showed me part of his codebase for this new company he's building. To my horror I saw a 500-line bash script that he claimed he did not understand and just used prompts to edit it.

It didn't need to be a bash script. It could have been written in any scripting language. I presume it started off as a bash script because that's probably what it started out as when he was exploring the idea. And since it was already bash I guess he decided to just keep going with it. But it was just one of those things where I was like, these autocomplete services would never stop and tell you "maybe this 500-line script should be rewritten in python", it will just continue to affirm you, and pile onto the tech debt.

I used to freak out and think my days were numbered when people claimed they stopped writing code. But now I realize that they don't like writing code, don't care about getting better at it, don't know what good code looks like, and would hire an engineer if they could. With that framing, whenever I see someone say "Opus 4.6 is nuts. Everything I throw at it works. Frontend, backend, algorithms—it does not matter." I know for a fact that "everything" in that persons mind is very limited in scope.

Also, I just realized that there was an em-dash in that comment. So there's that. Wasn't even written by a person.

Similar experience. I use these AI tools on a daily basis. I have tons of examples like yours. In one recent instance I explicitly told it in the prompt to not use memcpy, and it used memcpy anyway, and generated a 30-line diff after thinking for 20 minutes. In that amount of time I created a 10-line diff that didn't use memcpy.

I think it's the big investors' extremely powerful incentives manifesting in the form of internet comments. The pace of improvement peaked at GPT-4. There is value in autocomplete-as-a-service, and the "harnesses" like Codex take it a lot farther. But the people who are blown away by these new releases either don't spend a lot of time writing code, or are being paid to be blown away. This is not a hockey stick curve. It's a log curve.

Bigger context windows are a welcome addition. And stuff like JSON inputs is nice too. But these things aren't gonna like, take your SWE job, if you're any good. It's just like, a nice substitute for the Google -> Stack Overflow -> Copy/Paste workflow.

that's more or less what carmack said in the tweet in the OP, no?

> those were to allay fears of my partners to allow me to make the gift

I respect Carmack so much more now. I always scratched my head why he made Quake GPL. It was such a waste. Now it doesn't matter anymore. I so thankful copyleft is finally losing its teeth. It served its purpose 30 years ago, we don't need it anymore.

Yea, it's better to not feed the troll. I'm kind of shocked AndyKelley took the bait.

I unironically want this service to exist. The GNU GPL "is a tumor on the programming community, in that not only is it completely braindead, but the people who use it go on to infect other people who can't think for themselves."

Historically, it was a good license, and was able to keep Microsoft and Apple in check, in certain respects. But it's too played out now. In the past, a lot of its value came from it being not fully understood. Now it's a known quantity. You will never have a situation where NeXT is forced to open source their Objective-C frontend, for example

It seems hostile to you, but surely you can see what he's replying to is way more hostile and passive aggressive?

When I hit that part I was like.... you don't enjoy the work. It has nothing to do with AI. One way or another you're gonna get smoked by the ones who actually like doing this stuff. There's good money in the fitness industry.

Aight imma head out. Holy moly.

They don't have access to the same information as us. There's another comment that replied to you who brought up enshittification. I guarantee you he has not read the blog post by apenwarr. Or even knows who apenwarr is.

It seems to think there's valet, combined with the redditor anti-car pro-walkable-cities ideology.

I agree they're right to be scared. The culture has regressed. When I was a teenager / in my early 20s I didn't really believe that was possible, and I thought the older folks were just bitter. But now that I'm older and have a firmer grasp of history (both from what I've read, and my own lived experience) it is so obviously the case that the cracks in this decadent society continue to grow bigger over time. Sadly younger generations will repeat the same error I did and waste their precious time taking poorly calculated risks, trusting the wrong people, and suffering the very real, sometimes permanent, consequences. It's a positive feedback loop that only gets more ruthless as the decades pass. Don't stick your neck out, it's not worth it, freedom of speech isn't real. The silver lining is, freedom of thought is real. There are ways to bend your speech to avoid persecution, and reach the people you want to reach. It's a skill that takes time to master. Some people have mastered it. They have been mentioned by name elsewhere in this thread.
