No one here actually cares about Cycle Double Cover Conjecture. I can demonstrate this by pointing out that the only time this conjecture was ever mentioned on the website was 14 y…

Languages designers will have to make a choice whether to continue to design for humans or for big slop machines. The design goals are not compatible. This is obvious. I don't unde…

>Which frame inspires a more productive research program? This question depends on how you define research productivity. There is close to two hundred AI papers published every wee…

> Anecdotal, but I'm convinced it screws up sleep quality. It absolutely does. >I'd just accepted for the longest time that waking up groggy with a slight headache and tired was th…

"Valve will not be making and providing their own e-ink display for the Steam Machine" Too bad. The picture in the articles looks awesome. Like a device from some alternate reality…

The article has solid observations, but I would correct one important thing. It's not AI confidence, it's AI psychosis. A lot of people I know are forced to use AI at work. They un…

For most developers OOP seems to be just a handful of memes they are vaguely aware of and a kind of generally irritating sense of things not quite working in Java. No amount of wri…

That's not the only CVE in question. The issue also involves CVE-2025-6965.

Nonsensical corporate posturing. "Microsoft will contribute expertise, resources, and AI technologies to help responsibly identify and fix vulnerabilities" As a reminder, Microsoft…

What you're describing is people who fail to follow the most basic principles of academic research. (Check existing academic literature, mention and give credit to prior work.) Thi…

It's an interesting project, but the discussion on HN looks weird. It gets brought up every few weeks[1] and everyone just spams comments with messages about how "fast" it is. Duck…

The fact that people here are looking at these numbers and saying "this is fine" is absolutely bonkers. Basically, it's a company that's not sustainable for two separate reasons. T…

You interpretation of my comment is either very biased or just made in bad faith. The claim made by Open AI has two necessary components. The first one is that the conjecture had b…

"Open AI claims that its model disproven an Erdős conjecture, therefore my crappy way of arguing about software quality is valid." I really don't know how I'm supposed to reply to …

>"It’s easy to forget, but for most of 2025, the idea that AI-generated code was slop and might always be slop was not only a reasonable position to hold, it was the default, mains…

This "how to adapt" prop-slop is getting tiresome. So much of it is obviously intended to project and demoralize rather than provoke thought or give legitimate advice. The trick of…

AI seems to be ruining every single major thing that drove economic growth for the past 4 decades. PCs, the Web, software in general, high-capacity servers, Raspberry Pis and so on…

The premise of the article is faulty. "Nerds" became "cool" as technology became more important, so sociopaths in leadership positions stated to pretend to be nerds. It's as simple…

What this shows me (again) is that the whole system where vulnerabilities need to be constantly discovered, reported, analyzed, then patched, then the new version distributed to ev…

> If none of that is happening in your workplace or life in general - genuinely good for you. The majority of software engineers I know work for companies that have very similar th…

First, it's not made up. I've heard numerous stories of this sort (maybe a bit less extreme) from people I have known for many years working for large and mid-sized companies. Seco…

You can post any number of snarky booster comments, but at the end of the day they are the opposite of insightful. They are an obfuscation. What I'm seeing is that the whole securi…

I think it should be quite obvious that perceptrons are far from the smallest units that are capable of learning. They store many bytes of information, require a non-local update p…

>Would you prefer the harsh unpopular truth of Erich Schmidt, or a sweet lie of Wozniak? What Erich Schmidt is doing is not about describing hard reality. He is trying to make a pa…
