Are we going to keep on brow-beating vibe coders from here?
Sure, if they push garbage updates like Liquid Glass to billions of customers.

Yea, if anything, it's Apple's normal mode to heavily disturb and move things around.
Agreed. I vaguely remember another HN link that said Apple tried a competing-team approach to building a better siri, but it fell apart due to internal politics reasons?

#214I wouldn't even think that CLAUDE.md would make it into source control, let alone into the product. I don't AI-code for a living, so I don't know what is considered best practices, but I would think that CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, REQUIREMETNS.md, MY_PLAN.md, THIS_STUFF.md, THAT_THING.md, all the instruction/feeder files that drive the AI should not go into source control. Only the actual code that gets compiled. I look a…
It is super valuable to have your agent files in version control, both because it is useful to be able to revert to previous state and have your AI know where you are, and because being able to freshly clone a repo and have your AI know everything is very helpful.
In addition, it ensures the team's AI agents are using the same instructions.

These points might be fake, but they are far from being useless, and actually have monetary value. There is a market for buying and selling "aged" Hacker News accounts (3 USD 15 USD for ~500 points) and upvotes / downvotes By purchasing just ~300 karma points, founders can unlock an uplift of tens of thousands of dollars in visibility on the home page (clients and investors). So the LLM comments are not here just for…
If you're going to make a claim that there is a market for aged HN accounts you need to back it up with sources/proof, otherwise, you're pulling nonsense out of your ass

#216Unrelated: Yuck. a lot of those replies have LLM smells. Do people love being a hollow puppet for LLMs to fill in? Have people lost their identity?
Most people are automatons. As long as you’re not the one being steered it’s great. Then you’re not the livestock.

Who’s doing it better? I have yet to hear from a Google or Amazon user who has a transformatively better experience, and I think that’s why they haven’t jumped so far because they have hundreds of millions of users who have daily habits that they don’t want to lightly disturb.

Liquid Glass makes sense if this is what they are working towards: https://www.macrumors.com/guide/20th-anniversary-iphone/
They have done this before, release something large early in anticipation of a major shift and iron out issues before the shift happens. Liquid Glass started off a little janky but they appear to have been ironing out initial issues with each update.

I can see it happening. It's very easy to drag and drop a file into an Xcode project and when the dialog pops up asking if you want it to be added to the target app bundle you just hit OK, not realizing what you just did. I've done it before with a document file but caught it before I shipped by inspecting the app bundle output.

It's trending in that direction. If you want genuine conversation with humans, it's best to start looking for small, private communities that have and enforce LLM policies that align with your desires. Public social media is universally trash, don't waste your time there. I think HN is still worth visiting for now, but it's getting harder to justify spending time here with the quantity of garbage-quality LLM articles…
Lobsters still maintains a reliable comment section free of bots (for now!).

No, I don't think people love that, I think it's in the LLM company and the bourgeoise class of people who push and shove AI down everyones' throat for more money and control though to puppetize people. I mean, like it's been an active part of leadership history and much of what shaped our times today: people get comfortable and even self grandiose with their place in life, and to hold on to and further their power its not hard to see others as below them and use their power and influence to do things that are otherwise harmful to others.
The lost of identity is imo this. It's people being given horrible harmful options for their meaning, health and wellbeing and so we get a general sense of most people being lost. Lost in identity as you asked, though I think it's more than that. In my initiatory work with men (being initiated, not initiating others) we learn that part of the breakdown in this for most people is being given harmful identity frameworks of dependency and reliance on others. In the initiatory process we learned an identity of service beyond ourselves through deep embodiment, and exercise and practice beyond just an intellectual grokking of it, edit: this is what we used to have through human history but today now as is described in the works most people have only what would be called pseudo-initiations (marriage, school graduations, children & work changes) which do not meaningfully contributing to meaning, contribution or purpose.
What most of us have today and what the AI companies want us to believe: We will give you the money to live (though of course, when you're truly dependent on others, and they see no purpose or value for you and even your entertainment value has gone, why would they keep you around?)
