I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, because every time I try to use AI for any of my projects - including the "better" Anthropic and OpenAI models, I get terribly written, buggy code that has nothing to do with the domain or question. Unless I'm feeding it actual softball, single function questions it adds almost no value to my dev cycle. Mind you, all of this terrible code also costs a ton in tokens. It's sad becaus…

lol I always find these sort of posts amusing. It really shows those who can use ai effectively vs those who don’t understand it at all.

Bro the West is getting cooked by China right now. We might be fucked. Everything that has been coming out of China is better than anything our mega trillion dollar corporation are producing and they are doing with with sanctions on the best GPUs. I don't work in big tech, why are they so bad with sigifically more money and more advanced technology? Google had a decade and a half head start and they can't even produc…

This won’t be a popular opinion here on HN but I think it’s the beginning of the end for Western hegemony. Asia is powering full steam ahead while we sit idle. We have much lower social cohesion and it’s getting worse all the time. We’re becoming lower trust societies. We don’t incentivise building enough. Success is considered having enough capital to sit back and generate more capital while contributing nothing bac…

Well the west is too busy trying to answer the question “what is a woman” and allowing mass migration into their countries. While Asia is like “there’s men and woman, and we make it hard for you to live in our country and never get citizenship while we out build you in every aspect”

what's funny is debating about "what is a woman" vs having to work 6 days a week 6 to 9pm, I know which country I'd rather live in

Who would ever allow this in their organisation after the tiktok shutdown, just go for one of the other 17 ai IDE forks

This is being talked about in real life as we post on HN: the new administration has a different opinion on this https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cn0y51z7wedt

(I am guessing that there will be a deal floated for Elon to buy TikTok in a few weeks)

Can someone please do some security research on this to see what it sends when it calls home? I'm terrified to install a binary like that

These things will never be completely safe, from version to version, to new management. As Darth Vader one said, "I am altering the deal."

Pray I do not AIter it any further.

My kids are in elementary school that Chinese language in the morning and English in the afternoon. Only problem is now I have no idea what they are talking about half the time.

Which Chinese language do they learn?

China is taking every venture-funded AI startup and shitting on them. Almost all of them. Tencent's Hunyuan 3D - Tripo, etc. Tencent's Hunyuan Video - Sora, Runway, Pika, etc. ByteDance's Trae - Cursor, etc. DeepSeek R1 - GPT, etc. Unitree - Figure, Tesla, Boston Dynamics, etc. And a ton of this stuff is completely open source. All of the Tencent stuff is. This destroys the moat of so many companies that have spent h…

Yeah I have similar feeling: 1) They try similar like Zuck with LLama make sure GPT or Claude or Gemini is not the real winner in the West world like Android/iOS was for smartphone, Facebook/Whatsapp for social media/IM, Google Search for search, Windows for desktop OS. Majority people get used to to single product and they don't switch often. 2) Trying to kickstart community similar like LLama kickstarted big commun…

They did what they did because everything they want to buy is banned or is to be banned by your government.

Or are you being sarcastic? You must be being sarcastic.

I've got a colleague at work and when he's wrong, I've got to get Claude to agree with me before he believes me.

I used to think he was competent but now I think he's a moron

I see this here often, but really, can someone please make a video or blog post with a complete code session so we can see what exactly happens? I am curious.

As with all other tools you should expect there to be some learning curve. When desktop top publishing became a thing, professionals had to adjust their ways of working but if you stuck with glue and knives you were out of a job.

LLMs are a tool. It’s also weird and counterintuitive so it takes some time to get really good with them.
