Genuine question - What part of ”that” is just not true?

Volvo still produces cars in Sweden. Koenigsegg still build their cars in Ängelholm.

There’s already a flash lite tier since 2.5. Latest is 3.1 currently.

To be fair, Gemini 3.1 flash _lite_ supports structured output (guaranteed json), it’s super fast, runs circles around 2.5 flash and costs $0.25/$1.50. I use it _a lot_ and it’s ve…

To me, LLM's free up time for me so that I can spend time on the fun parts of coding. Less boilerplate, more focus on the interesting problems. This is no different from using high…

Good tooling, high level languages, faster computers and sane standards also enabled enormous productivity gains. I predict very few positions lost to LLM's, rather I'd say that ju…

I recently wrote a blog post about exactly this, and I agree with your perspective. Vibe coding helps with showing other people your idea and get them to understand it, try it and,…

For me personally, both at work and in my free time, I spend _more_ time on writing things _that matter_ since I’ve freed up time by using LLM’s for boilerplate tasks. My motto is …

This is just Sturgeon’s law. If you would reduce the number of students by an order of magnitude you’d still end up with 90% junk papers.

Thank you for your kind words. I guess one big component is perceived value. If the market thinks it’s valuable, it’s valuable. It’s when when the market looses value and/or intere…

I think that generative AI is an amplifier of your current trajectory (paraphrased based on a comment here on Hn). So, I’d say that ”Yes” is the answer to that question.

They can be reasoned about and relied upon. The problem is that people/users/businesses skip the reasoning part and go straight to the rely upon part.

Yes. But the exploitable vector in this case is still humans. AI is just a tool. The non-deterministic nature of an LLM can also be used to catch a lot of attacks. I often use LLM’…

"IBM Bob is IBM’s new coding agent, currently in Closed Beta. " Promptarmor did a similar attack(1) on Google's Antigravity that is also a beta version. Since then, they added secu…

Hi HN, A few years ago, I wrote a tool called MakeMeFish. MakeMeFish is a wrapper around fzf to list Makefile targets and show what they contain. I use MakeMeFish myself every day,…

Most of the time it's probably fine, but we should assume we don't know about all the attack vectors bad actors might use, so better safe than sorry. I forgot to say that I _absolu…

Please mask your identifiers, unless they are already spoofed. You potentially give out a lot of your info to bad actors. Other than that, love it :)

On dependencies, a friend of mine once said ”The early bird might get the worm but its mouse number two that get’s the cheese”.

It’s interesting how you end up being a part of the current trends whether you know it or not. I actually set up a blog on the 15th. No real content yet but I’ve almost written a f…

Better to buy one used 3090 than those old cards. Everything is not vram. Or, you can do nothing without vram but you can’t do anything with just vram. To use the second pair of pc…
