Maybe if you looked at it as "software engineering" or the old-fashioned "programming," you wouldn't be so fed up after all.

I will "Show HN" it when it's done, so don't worry!

Not today, not tomorrow, not 5 years from now. Meanwhile, everybody's working on reusable rockets, including the Chinese.

It's a fantasy market. You shouldn't be able to make hundreds of billions only because the stock market is full of illiterate optimists. I don't believe in the Wisdom of the Crowd. This…

DuckDB is a major RDBMS, yet there's almost no support for it from DB migration frameworks, etc.
comment
Is it just site vibe-coded or the whole thing?
comment
Big deal! Can't wait for the Chinese models to catch up - cheap, no marketing gimmicks, no politics, humble, hardworking, and they are only getting better. America is no longer a trustworthy tech…

I can't recall the scientist's name, but he said months ago that DeepSeek is best for Physics (maybe it was on The Diary of a CEO podcast). So I had a long chat about the Simulation Hypothes…

Albanians should realize that $4B will not change their lives a bit, but they will look like submissive sheeple. I hope they prove to be brave and determined. Their president is a total madman - I…

Was this going to Epstein Island 2.0?
comment
Yeah, let everybody build and use their own services, and then the US will end up having less control and visibility. Great tactics!
comment
I used the wrong term, sorry. My concern applies to both bifocals and progressive lenses, though: aren't drivers trading off convenience over safety? Shouldn't we have at least two pairs of …
comment
Isn't getting a college degree actually making you more selective, too, leading graduates to pass on jobs they would otherwise have taken?
comment
Really? I bought them when they were released, but never wore them because I thought they were gimmicky once I got them.
comment
Aren't the bifocals just a convenience over quality? It's inconvenient to wear two sets of glasses, but why would one wear bifocals while driving? This convenience can come at a high price!
comment
Uber is a service company. Maybe there are tons of changes on the backend, but literally anything customer-facing barely ever changes. So, software development is more of a business optimization job t…
comment
That's how I've been doing it since I was a kid (in the '80s) without anyone telling me about it. It's interesting how people put their names on some common-sense stuff! Disgusting…

I purchased. No Homebrew install?
comment
Give us Mythos! This piecemealing doesn't help Anthropic at all, especially psychologically! They are playing a dangerous game, and I see many people leaving Claude Code for good - both due to th…

I've been using Kagi for years and am not looking back. Okay, it costs money; it could sometimes be worse than Google, but the only free cheese is in the mousetrap.
comment
Oh, wow! Not that "PDF file" sounds any better, though.
comment
Possibly. It reminded me of the times when Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT hallucinated code! It's really the worst I've tried so far - it's at least 6 months behind all others!
comment
I haven't seen anything as bad as Grok Build! I am sincere; they forced me to upgrade to Grok Heavy to try it, but this was the worst way to spend your money. Hallucination to the max, too chatty…

That's right. Many people obtain visas with the clear intention of changing their status, which is illegal, and so far, authorities have turned a blind eye to it. The typical progression is: peop…
