There's nothing to appeal. Statute of limitations is... just that.
comment
Yeah, I think a lot of the disconnect here is that people think of "model intelligence" as some sort of IQ score, rather than a combination of scores that measure abilities at a large variet…

>> Of course it writes a lot of code. It gets paid per token. I don't buy it. I think a much more likely reason it leans towards adding code is because deleting code carries inherent risk: …

The amount of pure conspiratorial thinking will never cease to amaze me.

Yeah, this article is full of misinformation. The water argument is only one example.

I started using Thariq’s approach yesterday and it works very well. One thing I noticed is that I’m no longer wary of reading long and complex spec documents. Opus does a great job with web design and…
comment
I care about solving problems for and delivering value to my users. The software is simply a means to that end. It needs to work well, but that does not mean every line of code requires an artisanal t…

If it is "vapor" then how are the various mega corps able to use the preview release? Do you think they are all in on some giant conspiracy?
comment
Ah yes, the good old No True Scotsman fallacy, where we smugly proclaim that anyone who thinks AI is good now must be working on unimportant and easy things.
comment
Actually, it's some of the same people. I won't name names, but there are a lot of AI skeptics on this site who loudly and prominently comment on every AI story. And if you look at their pos…

I would say we are way past unacceptable.

It's because software engineering, which deals with bits, evolves dramatically faster than other engineering disciplines, which deal with the physical world.
comment
>> Defining exactly what the product is supposed to do is the hard part, writing code is the easy part. There is a massive difference between a spec, which defines what the product should do, an…

>> I even got a warning on my OpenAI account. I was using GPT 5.5 through Cursor recently, and it found what it thought to be a security-related issue. I read the code, didn't see what it w…

That's because unemployment among new CS grads is the highest it has ever been.

Title is editorialized and the report is from two months ago.

In addition, it ensures the team's AI agents are using the same instructions.
comment
Yeah, no way that is a serious statement. My Macbook Air from 2011 still works perfectly, and the original iPhone that I found stashed inside one of my dad's cabinets charged, turned on without i…
comment
Having tried local agents just two weeks ago, the parent poster is correct: they don't come anywhere near frontier models, despite what the benchmarks state. I haven't tried Qwen 3.6 yet, bu…

Even when it does show the PR list, it doest necessarily show all the PRs in the category being viewed. Truly nasty issue.
comment
Aside from a false start with Apple Intelligence, Apple did not try to repeatedly and shamelessly shove AI down everyone's throats in all their products and services, which is why their "gro…

>> You let them write code that runs in prod, which is the same thing with extra steps. The “with extra steps” is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
comment
The HN title is heavily editorialized. Actual article title is far less controversial: "A.I. Should Elevate Your Thinking, Not Replace It"
comment
>> It's much like climate science today: any dissent at all, even just questioning the predictions of catastrophe, immediately brands you as a heretic. Nonsense. It is actually quite unlike…

>> followed by their Mythos stunt "Stunt", eh?
comment
I use both Cursor and Claude Code, and yes, the latter is noticeably slower with the same model at the same settings. However, it's hard to justify Cursor's cost. My bill was $1,500/mo …

All corruption is bad. Selective enforcement of the law is worse. It increases corruption by giving a strong incentive to win favors from powerful people.
