jryan49··on Ask HN: AI productivity gains – do you fire devs or build better products?
AI output is non-deterministic right? Can both of you be right? Maybe it gets it right sometimes, and doesn't other times.
jryan49··on Ask HN: How do you offload all coding to AI?
When people say they don't write the code, they mean they don't type it, but if there are not vibe coding garbage they are still watching what the agent outputs, and redirects it when it goes wrong. Instead of fixing the code manually they prompt the LLM.
jryan49··on Show HN: Primer – build software with AI agents one milestone at a time
Have you seen openspec, or any of the others in this space?
jryan49··on Reports of code's death are greatly exaggerated
Yes... maybe not 99%...
jryan49··on How do you plan to make a living after AI takes your job?
IMHO no one know what the heck is going to happen. Probably will have to adapt to the situation as needed... In other words, it's too hard to predict to come up with a plan ahead of time?
jryan49··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
Cause people are sick of their tax money going to endless wars
jryan49··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
lol we all hope
jryan49··on Fed's Cook says AI triggering big changes, sees possible unemployment rise
Save up enough money to be safe for many years after I get laid off so I have plenty of time to figure out what to do.
jryan49··on Claws are now a new layer on top of LLM agents
I mean we know at this point it's not super intelligent AGI yet, so I guess we don't care.
jryan49··on DOGE Track
So we should all go out and get arrested and put and jail to solve nothing. Sounds like a plan...
jryan49··on America's $1T AI Gamble
Works great in other countries with high unemployment. That's exactly what happens! People elect a person who says they are going to change everything to fix it and they never get around to it for some reason :)

Just look at the mess south America is in...

jryan49··on America's $1T AI Gamble
I love how they say with a straight face that when AI takes over they will finally share all the fruits of capital with us.
jryan49··on Eight more months of agents
Someone will package up all that intuition and skills and I imagine people won't have to do any of these things in future.
jryan49··on Ask HN: Non AI-obsessed tech forums

jryan49··on xAI joins SpaceX
How can you clearly believe anything Musk says at this point. It's not 'clear' at all what he actually believes and what he just makes up.
jryan49··on Ask HN: How do you force yourself to take breaks while coding?
Work on something you don't want to be working on. :)
jryan49··on Automatic Programming
Then why was Claude code generating exact copies of code files all with the copyrights intact last week when I used it?
jryan49··on Software Survival 3.0
I wish people would stop up voting AI Nostradamus articles...
jryan49··on Show HN: I'm building an AI-proof writing tool. How would you defeat it?
I only switched tab/windows once (to input the question). So I'm not sure how severely you'd want to rate that. The webcam doing eye tracking might help if the person isn't good a typing and can copy one side without checking if the other is okay...
jryan49··on AGENTS.md outperforms skills in our agent evals
Something that I always wonder with each blog post comparing different types of prompt engineering is did they run it once, or multiple times? LLMs are not consistent for the same task. I imagine they realize this of course, but I never get enough details of the testing methodology.
jryan49··on Show HN: I'm building an AI-proof writing tool. How would you defeat it?
I pulled up a 2nd browser next to your site. I typed the prompt into Gemini, and manually typed what Gemini said and removed em dashes as I typed. It said it was 100% genuine.
jryan49··on TSMC Risk
I think the west is scared of China trying to take over the world by force like the USSR.
jryan49··on Tux Paint
My kids also have been using it for years on a regular basis and love it. They made tons of "movies".
jryan49··on Engineers who dismiss AI
The stupid strawman argument in the front of the article made me close it.
jryan49··on I miss the old Internet of 10-20 years ago
Check out https://cyberspace.online/
jryan49··on Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Definitive Oral History of a TV Masterpiece
There were definitely some Philly area jokes in there :)
jryan49··on Ask HN: Does anyone else feel like a 'manager' now, with AI?
That's just silly. People are allowed to make grandiose claims and no one is allowed to question their statements? Anyone who is curious about these statements just "hates AI"?
jryan49··on Show HN: PrinceJS – 19,200 req/s Bun framework in 2.8 kB (built by a 13yo)
I do want to applaud your efforts, especially at your age. Add some tests, and keep making things :)
jryan49··on Show HN: PrinceJS – 19,200 req/s Bun framework in 2.8 kB (built by a 13yo)
Considering this is barely any code at all I imagine it doesn't provide anywhere near the feature set other web frameworks do. Also there are no tests. How do you know it even works properly? Why would I trust that it works properly?

Agree get rid of the character-by-character animation. It's very annoying.
