It's baffling to me that people try to monetize tools like Postman and Insomnia. They aren't complex tools, there are infinite alternatives, and we're at a point where I am confident an AI could one shot 99% of their functionality.

So not very out of context at all? People see through it and are upset because the message effectively comes down to "We, the rich/corporations, deserve it more than you so we can rent it back to you".

>A whole lot more of us are going to get involuntarily put out to pasture through no fault of our own eventually.

And that is going to have predictable consequences like increases in suicides, substance abuse, etc.

A job might "just be a job" but I'm growing tired of this trend online of treating work like it isn't important for most people's sense of worth, place in society, and overall mental health.

Ones made by Apple? Definitely. There are other cheaper options.

Most people read the headlines and nothing more, the same as with any other aggregator.

tl;dr you are economically worthless and should give up

What a grim outlook.

The bill is going to pass, there is quite literally nothing I can do to stop it.

And when I say literally nothing, I mean literally nothing. My MP (the man I voted for) crossing the floor to join the current ruling party showed me exactly how much political power I have: absolutely fuck all.

Most people don't have the power to strip me of my freedom and legally shoot me. If anything the police should be held to a higher standard than the average person.

Police are largely incompetent, what do you really expect?

Just use Node. Community led and supported by the Linux Foundation.

Why? If I have more skill and knowledge in a specific domain I can better breakdown problems, prompt an LLM better, and actually verify correctness.

It's not polite to say, but I have noticed a direct correlation between the skill level/knowledge of people I know and the quality of results they get from LLMs.

Heck even in my own usage I get far better results when using them in domains I know vs domains I don't.

Pinch to zoom on a macbook makes the entire map sweep across the globe. Makes it very hard to use even if it's a neat idea.

It might be well known in Amiga circles, but it would be hard to call a web browser for Amigas that last had a release nearly two decades ago "well known".

Name clashes happen all the time, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

> Because I did this and got a vastly different result from you

Which itself is a major UX issue. The average person is not going to understand, if they even realize, that there's a difference between the AI summary and AI mode.

One has to wonder just how much incorrect information people have consumed due to things like this.

You have no idea how common parcel theft is, do you?

> going door to door between cornfields with a mile between houses

That's not the type of situation most people live in.

>don't assume everyone lives the same life as you

Likewise.

> Most of us don't have to worry about random crackheads stealing packages from our mailboxes or doorsteps

Well of course, most of HN is extremely privileged and thus isolated from such problems. I wouldn't expect the average tech worker in a gated community or access controlled apartment complex to get it.

> Vast majority of accidents happen on regular driven known routes not road trips.

I always heard people say most crashes happen close to home and I never thought twice about what they were actually saying.

Then one day it hit me: most people don't regularly drive far from home, so of course of accidents happen close to home.

In a world where a random crackhead is all too happy to steal literally any box placed in your mail box or on by your door it can be quite useful to know exactly when the box shows up, or is at least expected to show up.

I do the same except with really bad countries as a reminder to myself of how much worse things could be.

I've been somewhat curious how random LLM would handle a task like controlling a roomba and have been seriously considering trying it out. An RC car would be a fun experiment, perhaps an RC plane would be too?

By that logic why not fill the hard drive with OS data? This is a company mind you that still sells some laptops with a base configuration of 256GB, so 10-20GB isn't an insignificant amount to many users especially when it's taken by a feature they may not even use.

They're a solution to a problem that were created by people who are completely out of touch with normal users and how they use computers.

Sure they work fine on a technical level, but they're frustrating and confusing for the vast majority of people I know.

Love doesn't pay the bills and this industry will kill any love a normal person has for programming.

As it stands Sequoia is the last good version of the OS.

I think I'm just getting old because I no longer see the appeal nor do I understand the hype of new phones. It bends? Wow a useless gimmick for 3000$, just what I need.

I'm sure someone will love it, but it won't be me.

Reddit is a site which I would only recommend to someone I truly hated. It's poison on every level imaginable, more so than basically any other social media I've ever used.

People will say Twitter is worse, but the Twitter algo with actually listen to you (in my experience) when you tell it what you do/don't want to see. My feed was nearly 100% furry artwork because I refused to interact with anything else.

If you knowingly provide services to violent/terrorist groups you deserve to be shut down. The only reason anyone is upset by this is because they were left aligned and had they been providing services to the far right, neo-nazis, etc everyone would be rightfully cheering.

Some of us don't believe they're useless toys or that they're going to destroy society.

I was a skeptic of them for a long time, but I appreciate that I can use them to get tedious nonsense out of the way thus allowing me to spend more time on the interesting and challenging parts of my projects.

The initial hype of them is annoying, but as time goes on it'll die down and we'll figure out where and how best to use them. There's no reason to believe that this will finally be the time a new technology ruins everything.
