krater23··on How Do We Stop Vibe Coding?
That is, assuming you believe "vibe coding" is actually more efficient than hand-coding. If your users simply accept bugs that can't be fixed because doing so would lead to a day-long discussion with your AI, then it is true. Human language is one of the worst ways to describe software.
krater23··on How Do We Stop Vibe Coding?
The fear that I have that I end up in a team that don't care that I hand code my stuff and let their shit everywhere in the code, so that hand coding isn't possible anymore in a team. It's the same with frameworks. Building a webinterface with a framework is really easy, but the result is just bullshit compared to plain php. It looks good, but your load und wait time goes straight up.
krater23··on The creepiest 'sales demo' of all time
This website and topic is protected by a SEP field. Who cares about U.S. problems?
krater23··on $100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol
I've seen similaer videos in the pre AI time where someone stiches stock fotos together that fit to the lyrics. Absolute shit, and this is the advanced way to do that. It's a costly gimmic for illegal youtube uploads. The videos have no more value than that. So yes, you could do that in half an hour with your current knowledge and 0$, but it would be meaningless still images instead of meaningless video snippets. I see not much difference.
krater23··on $100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol
They have the same sentiment also now. I expect when you not write code at all you aren't more productive than before or producing unmaintainable shit. Sorry bro, most of the time it needs more text to explain the AI which small fault she has done compared with just fixing it self. So when you don't code at all, you either lose time by explaining this issues a guy that never learns or you just ignore them.
krater23··on Sleep regularity is a stronger predictor of mortality risk than sleep duration (2023)
Just stay awake, you're sleepy all the day anyway... Not meant as joke, but I've learned that trying to sleep when I'm not sleepy is senseless. When I really have a month where I get every day my 7h sleep, I need one night without sleep, otherwise I can't sleep at night anymore.
krater23··on Cursor 0day: When Full Disclosure Becomes the Only Protection Left
Downloading this attachement doesn't executes it. Checking out a branch in this case executes the file in the branch. Thats a big difference.
krater23··on Show HN: Beautiful Type Erasure with C++26 Reflection
I could imagine that in near future when token prices are as high as they really are, programmers that can't imagine or remember how to write code anymore will clean our streets, drive our taxis and water our plants.
krater23··on Show HN: Beautiful Type Erasure with C++26 Reflection
I think that is perl, but I share what you mean, as more features they add, as uglyer it gets.
krater23··on Linux 0.11 rewritten in idiomatic Rust, boots in QEMU
I know the answer, because they get their money from AI bros and it's a really good headline.
krater23··on Zig Creator Calls Spade a Spade, Anthropic Blows Smoke
I'm sure that Jehovah's Witnesses believe what they say. But thats not a reason to let them in my house.
krater23··on Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests
It's silly, nearby all Rust projects are rewrites of existing projects and now as you don't need to learn Rust to do rewrites, people just let the AI rewrite projects in Rust.
krater23··on My thoughts on the Bun Rust rewrite
C/C++ with static code analysis is not worse than Rust. But most Rust developers are beginners during there are many C/C++ developers with 20+ years knowledge. So whats exactly is the point in using Rust?
krater23··on My thoughts on the Bun Rust rewrite
> but this just isn't the kind of professionalism needed for a serious project.

Yes, I think you are totally right. I'm sure Linux would never be so big as it is without a maintainer that talks so professional than Linus Torvalds.

krater23··on My thoughts on the Bun Rust rewrite
Before the post I didn't know what zig and bun is. I needed a llm to explain it to me. Now I think about trying Zig. So, no, I don't think it's childish. It reads like a engineer that knows which kind of people you don't need in your environment. I can feel every word he wrote because I know this situations.
krater23··on I Wasn't Allowed Prompting ChatGPT During My Chalk Talk: This Is Discrimination (2025)
It's hardly too near on reality to not to say it.
krater23··on Instead of banning AI, I made a classroom contract with my students
> I used AI daily—how could I expect my students to avoid it entirely?

...because I'm that I'm writing this article be a AI himself...

krater23··on Sony erases digital content from libraries
I see no reason to pay this shit. When I need bad quality video streaming I just search for it on yandex.
krater23··on The KIDS Act would require age checks to get online
Just a story from Germany in early 2000. I had a website and just installed a php script to have a forum on my website and just forgot about it. Today, I could do the same, but I had a 24/7 job to monitor everything someone writes there because it could bring me personally into jail. The same with the comment section of my blog. Thats the reason why this big platforms exist and are used. Because no one other than they want to take the risk. At least in Germany are not much people that want to do that.
krater23··on The KIDS Act would require age checks to get online
Normally we used beer for that, but during covid we've learned a whole generation that going out is danger and staying at the couch is good. And they decided that it's much easier than going out and have stressful situations with other people.
krater23··on The gap between open weights LLMs and closed source LLMs
Have no fear,after the bubble bursted, there will be more than enough cheap hardware for espacially this.
krater23··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
Oh, Alibaba destilled data without consens out of Anthropics models that are trained with data from the internet without consens? Who cares?!
krater23··on 'We had to get out of the way': The backlash over delivery robots
Why car? In our city the delivery guys are using tuned e-bikes.
krater23··on 'We had to get out of the way': The backlash over delivery robots
Going to prison is a easy solution for missing food and shelter. Don't think that there lies the problem.

You are hardly searching for parallels where no are.
krater23··on Honda Civics and the Evil Valet
Oh, don't understand me wrong. I've never seen a better organized embedded development process than in automotive. Review rules, reproducable builds, sometimes good unit tests(not just senseless stupid shit that wastes developer time), a test department in another room that develops test software to automate hardware in the loop tests, huge hardware in the loop test rigs that are running the newest build 24/7. IT in cars is all other than below average. It's not the move fast and break things shit of silicon valley. And it's not the 'we ship it with the next update' shit of the game industry.

BUT, there is no documentation because there is no time to do it. There are SOP-1(Start of Production). This date is carved in stone. When a feature is not done for SOP-1, than it is not delivered in SOP-2. SOP-2 happens normally 6 month later. After that, updates are only done when something bad happens. The complete team moves on to the next head unit.

So, I would expect your bugs will not get fixed in any way, at least when they are not important enough to mobilize a new small team or some people that worked on it to fix them. Normally shortly before SOP-2, all tickets are closed, known bugs too. That feels a little frustrating as customer, but more as developer.

Oh, and don't think that you can run away from that by buing another brand. Normally not your car manufacturer develops the head unit. It's other companies and they work all the same and they work for all car companies.

krater23··on Windows 11 users are tired of MS account requirements creeping into everything
From definition, a 0-day is not patched in any system because it's not known. But back to your real question.

The biggest attack vectors are the browser, the mail client and direct network access. I would never use outlook, edge or connect my computer directly without NAT or firewall to the open internet. And would never open a website without a add blocker.

You can count all other known big attacks(on unpatched Windows 7!!!) on one hand.

1) Remote execution via Wifi Stack

2) Remote execution via True Type Fonts

3) 0-Click code execution via USB Stick Icon processing

Windows update instead gives AT LEAST Microsoft a steady remote code execution on your and millions of other computers. It's a really interesting attack target when you go big. Why I should trust M$ to get the security there right?

krater23··on Windows 11 users are tired of MS account requirements creeping into everything
Exactly my turn. Win 10 is clearly the last Windows for me. For private I still use Win 7, for work I used Win 10, but the driver support for my old dell laptop(2014) is so shitty, that it's overheating and throttleling as soon it has to do some normal things.

When the last bastion of Windows, the driver support is falling, I can switch to Linux. Since 2 month I use openSuse on this device and be happy. No running fan, no problems. Windows is dying.

How could the owner authenticate? With the car key?

How could you do a clean system reset after someone had access to all installed software/data including the cryptographic keys? The information is gone, maybe the recovery partition is changed. How could you securely recover?
