God, don’t tempt me with a good time, and twice, at that!

Ass-covering. The same reason why most huge enterprises buy insane support contracts for every other piece of shitty software: support, and someone to blame when production goes pe…

I do. The faster it happens, the faster a recovery begins and we can devote resources back to doing more practical things. Get it over with as soon as possible, rip the bandaid off…

It's come to a point (or has it passed it) that these numbers are completely meaningless. One hundred billion here, $750B there, $1.2T over a year or so, toss in $300B for a few hy…

Like another comment has mentioned, the field doesn't really lend itself to quick iterating jobs and loops and favors the long batch processes, for several reasons. Oftentimes, a s…

But never underestimate the stupidity of an AI psychosis- suffering product manager to shoehorn it into the most batshit insane use cases in search of mOrE ENgagGeMeNt.

It doesn't. But as long as it's a vibe-coded slop product shat out by one of the tech glitterati using the latest marketing wanketeering and sucking up tokens to power the in-built…

Same thought I had, and that is where I stopped reading. All of these looping/enumerating techniques, including the weirdness with null-terminating strings to get around the shell'…

NO FUN ALLOWED on srsbznz hacker news!

This is going to just run up against the insanity that is tokenmaxxing every moment of the day. When people are incentivized (upon pain of firing) to get the LLM to vomit out as mu…

This and "How I learned to stop worrying and love ___". I can't identify what grinds my gears so much about it, perhaps it's the laziness.

What is even the point of having 2FA if it can be so trivially bypassed? Isn't that the whole point that it's sort of a last line of defense? Oftentimes, you can't change simple ac…

Way to miss the point, there.

The same predictable comment comes up whenever there is a piece that isn't sanitized, blunted technical documentation. Why write long form literary pieces that take effort to diges…

I think you forgot the simping ass-kissing thanks of their former employer who suddenly laid them off about their incredible journey and looking to the next chapter, that they coul…

Github won't shed a single tear in return, hell, they probably didn't even know until this came out. And not to sound harsh, but they probably don't care either. If they don't 'fin…

I thought of this as soon as I saw the headline: I hope this is the start. Crossing my fingers to see more line up with your predictions.

"But it's my legacy shit and I understand it and I haven't taken the time to learn something new because that's scary so I'll just piss on anything attempting to replace it." Human…

+1 for Peak Design. I have yet to use the warranty, but the thing still looks new after lots and lots of travel, shoving under seats, tossed into train and bus overhead bins. The o…

Same, my default MO is assuming 'e2ee' is broken and unsafe by default. Anything that I truly don't want sent over the wire would be in person, in the dark, in a root cellar, under…

You actually choose to believe that these trillion dollar tech monsters run by some of the most despicable people on the planet are being forthright in that they have no ability to…

The ‘--‘ is a ligand bond, a fundamental aspect of coordination and organometallic chemistry.

Nah, this is just a strict chemical synthesis problem, no need for the engineers yet, until you want to make ten thousand tons of the stuff.

> end of the exponential. Oh good, hopefully it'll model itself after an exponential rise in any sort of animal populations and collapse on itself because it can no longer be susta…

Yet another terrible step toward total oligarchy. Get the fuck out of politics, tech ghouls.
