"This automation wave will kick millions of white-collar workers to the curb in the next 12 - 18 months" Ok cool, so in a single year when this hasn't happened, we know never to li…

Actually an insanely ironic analogy. A large part of the original deep blue win was smoke and mirrors - humans researched how it should play and hardcoded it in, humans researched …

"AI is going to wipe out junior developers!" They actually hire more junior developers "Uhh .. to adopt AI better they're hiring more junior developers!"

Hint: Make sure the people giving you the efficiency improvement numbers don't have a vested interest in giving you good numbers. If so, you can not trust the numbers. Reminds me o…

>> As a relavant example, try using FreeType in your C/C++ project, make sure your solution compiles on Linxu, and Mac, and Windows (and ideally other platforms) find_package(Freet…

You know, as a (prickly) analogy, whatever your take on covid was, half the population vehemently disagreed with your take. No matter which side was more "correct", either way, a h…

It feels oddly freeing to be seeing headlines like this every other day on HN and not caring in the slightest. The titles are just amalgamations of random words to me, like 'Claude…

But hey, they raised rates numerous times to pay for all those nonexistent new features. I cancelled my membership a week or two ago after yet another rate hike.

Ok, let me guess, without looking at the article .... is it a "pilot" that's rolled out to a small number of people, for a limited period of time, and its success is judged by surv…

Yes, this is the problem. They tout this new latest and greatest extension that fixes and simplifies a lot, yet you go look up the extension on vulkan.gpuinfo.org and see ... curre…

You know, I've been following a rule where if I open any article and there's meme pictures in it, I instantly close it and don't bother. I feel like this has been a pretty solid ru…

I like how they make grand claims and when you finally drill down into the data you find it's based on something like .. "We took the opinion of this random bank about how efficien…

"Eight more months of Bitcoin. It's usage continues to dramatically expand. The amount of transactions is increasing exponentially. Soon, fiat currencies will collapse, all replace…

" They can write code better than you or I can, and if you don’t believe me, wait six months." It's ALWAYS wait 6 months, or wait for the next generation. Or "oh that model that we…

In addition to never providing examples, the other common theme is when you dive into the author's history almost 100% of the time they just happen to work for a company that provi…

Ah yes, to have AI write code for you, you simply just need to, let's see .. "Document the requirements, specifications, constraints, and architecture of your project in detail. Do…

And fully recovered in less than 48 hours. What a bloodbath ..

Utter rubbish from an extremely biased source. Every time they say something like "didn't you notice X" or "your portfolio must look like Y" the answer is nope, you're completely w…

Surely there's nothing in the rest of the email, that they chose not to share with us, that would explain the reaction to the email. Surely.

You know, I was expecting what the post would say and was prepared to dunk on it and just tell them to stop using ai then, but the builder/thinker division they presented got me th…

Ooohhh I finally get it. It's another "protecting the children" guise when in actuality they want to introduce new mechanisms to control speech, classify what they don't like as "h…

You assume that the old software version has critical vulnerabilities. If it does not, then yes, updating is more of a risk since the new versions are unknowns.

As for updates - my OS has a built-in package management system, which is responsible for installing and updating packages. Why should notepad++ bypass that and do its own independ…
