I predict mid-2028 for this

Rate of change is increasing too fast.

No, probably not. But that's not an accurate depiction of the stakes.

You're so scared to make predictions about the future that you can't even accept "LLMs are going to get better" as a truth?

You're so skeptical of it that you're willing to make fun of people?

It's about as much in question as whether or not I'm going to eat breakfast this morning.

I'm gonna have eggs and toast. Who am I, Mrs. Cleo? How could I possibly know this unknowable future?

It's me! I'm ruling!

There's a Twitter rumor that deepmind achieved RSI very recently.

Either way, to count Google out entirely is really foolish.

Young people who start companies that become successful are now "the ruling class"?

No, I wasn't building a reputation. My blog was pseudo-anonymous.

I was working for free already, when I posted the things.

Other plumbers

A buck per?

You could just buy cartons of cigarettes and chop off the butts, at that rate.

Pixel 9a, Firefox.

Never even imagined I would have a problem. HN is my "is the internet working?" check.

The few technical blogs I posted, that's exactly what I imagined -- some guy would have the same problem, find my blog, and I'd save him and his company a day or two of work.

And now they're making money on it, and that sits really well with me.

Exactly. I mostly read about distros right here in the comments.

I had no idea DHH was political. I don't follow Linux YouTubers, why would I?

You seem to be talking about users. They're talking about creators.

I don't think users know who DHH is, or care who DHH is. Probably like 0.01% of users have read a blog post, let alone a political one. (Maybe they all are, I haven't read any)

Mostly you install steam, install game from inside steam, and it just works with nothing further.

A far cry from 15 years ago.

No man, if it's a "straight ripoff", it would be a TV show.

Not an programming application.

Legally, I agree.

Morally, I think it's totally wild to care if some totally unrelated real world thing gets named after a twenty+ year old cultural icon of a TV show as an homage.

They're attempting to profit off their business. The office thing is a theme.

The HHS secretary during that time wasn't RFK, it was Xavier Becerra.

You have to pretend it's free, in America. People don't want to support themselves.

I tell it not to use superpowers for small changes, for the same reason you say. (I often forget, though)

And yes, I sub in other coding models like DeepSeek. Mostly with good results.

I've found it to be great for planning code changes (or new projects). I use the superpowers plug-in which I think guides the planning.

Then I switch models (to luna) before implementation. I find this combo nearly always does what I want.

I also use a skill called ponytail, its goal is to keep things terse and edits small. It may have contributed to the successes above.

I like that skills are easy to try out, too.

Or who is overly protective after reading about what happened at openai

IMO you shouldn't get to be in charge of a company just because it became successful.

Facebook is allowed to make ads show on their own product.

I hate their product, but it's theirs.

I'm going to send mine to visit my mom. It's so hot in August.

There are more than two options. What about great engineers with great models?

Inference is profitable

Well your generally intelligent four year old can't meet the standard you just made, by definition.

You're saying things about yourself, not the Xbox or MS.

There is something interesting about the Xbox, as evidenced by its sales record.

Controller was terrible, if only for lack of two thumb sticks. Going back to GoldenEye, my second favorite game of all time... It's miserable.

If they asked for it, that's a big clue it's not a novel idea.

They ask for it because they think it can unicorn. Being novel isn't always important.
