Sorry...what? Netflix is "a random service on the Internet"??

So, looks like that being a good manager and serving it is no that easy for a good engineer in the end. (I'm not snarking at Nixpkgs core team, just at the many HN readers there th…

Nice! I tried to play https://eternalsagas.com/play but it stalls at 45% loading with the progress bar always at 0 but the music playing. And out of curiosity, how do you automate …

And what do you do with all that?

> How does a “small startup” end up with a multi million line “legacy” codebase? Easy! The output of 6 months ago Opus! Which seemed so wonderful at the time.

Fine for me, I didn't ask any justification from you, but the post-mortem does/did sound as LLM-speech, and presuming it human I also presumed some kind of humor in it (I was proba…

Ok but who's pissed off bere? A human or a let-loose agent? Or a human that wrote the post with an LLM although they swear they didn't?

> I hate the ‘product’ word. In the 90’s I was involved in a travel startup, and the software people would be talking about ‘product’ meaning the website that we where building, an…

No, they don't work. Just asked Siri the other day "what's the weather tomorrow in $LOCATION" (where $LOCATION is a broader zone and not strictly a city) and the answer was the wea…

I really don't know, their GH profile [1] and their projects, even the recent ones [2], seem pretty non-LLM. IMO the post-mortem is more a satirical response to the HN criticism, d…

True, but that does not mean that the average teacher won't grade you badly if your interpretation is completely opposed to their and what was discussed during lessons.

I remember seeing this on HN frontpage already in the past, and indeed here it is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39936246

I'm not in an anglophone country, but I also have bad memory and n=1 so obviously I cannot speak for everyone else.

It happened because even here on HN there are many tech people that were dismissing DRMs, secure enclave and remote attestation as "it's not a big deal" or "they have their part be…

It's your vision and you are completely free to have it, obviously, but you should not project it on every tinkerer out there - like you did in your initial message. Yours is actua…

Focusing more on the "social side" rather the HW part, there is the part about the "Viral email", which must have been something that went viral in the UK Internet circles but not …

PlantNet seems pretty open as well right? Looks like is from several public institutions so it should be ads and trackers free, can you confirm?

And the cherry on the cake: you get paid to work on your engineering project, get traction around it as opensource and if there is enough traction, leave the company and spin-off a…

I think you will have enough after your message ;)

If we start from GP premises where they were multi-vendor on ZigBee and now (allegedly) are living a much better mono-vendor life with Matter, you cannot play the multi-vendors car…

Sure, I should have said "at least the day before"

> What's "better" for the individual is not necessarily better for the society. Are you a commie? Everybody knows the free-market self-corrects itself if you are not performant eno…

It happened the day before, since children were still playing. We are safe.

Cool that there is something else. There was also EventBrite but I guess that got enshittified as well. Anyway my question was more in the realm of: if people stays, their play wor…
