The never complain part has a status dimension. Complaints from people seen as privileged land badly. Tech in most world is learning this recently. Engineers fears of AI are legitimate, but for years the industry automated other people work, sold headcount reduction as a feature, and told laid off workers to learn to code. I remember how some european aviation insurance company employees were bragging how many lawyers their company laid off thanks to their automation. Now that it's our turn, people outside the bubble aren't in a mood to sympathize. The automation would have happened anyway and the smugness is what we are paying for.

The problem with the idea is that there is no right solution. What they do are free alternatives. Free software is not a new idea. Secondly, even if SaaS companies get all developers back then competitors with less devs may be more agile as they as well have AI tools and without all this people be more lean.

If anything, regulation is the more realistic solution. Requiring licensed CS/CE/STEM engineers (a degree plus a licensing exam, likely one for the US and a separate one for the EU) to sign off either manually written or generated by AI output on software in critical areas like healthcare, finance, insurance, energy, government and infrastructure, or above a certain revenue or valuation. That would keep people with verified skills in demand and improve security. Anyone could still build yet another SaaS, custom apps or games, and teach themselves along the way. They'd just need to hire licensed specialists once they grow or handle sensitive data.

It's far from a perfect solution, but an even stricter system already works in law, medicine and civil engineering. It just moves us from the current Wild West back toward the middle. Getting there would take real consensus, though, and tech workers have historically resisted organizing, since many see themselves as individual high earners who don't need a union. Add lobbying from large corporations, and it's a long shot.

So they used tons of information - books, arts, code, articles and so on all over the internet, some without consent or license (case with book publishers) but when it comes to regular people using it mostly for fan projects or creative work it’s now problem?

Law and accountability is for poor people apparently, power is for rich.

IMO if developers are “cooked” like you stated (would be nice to have more data tho) then certainly plenty of other white collar jobs are in even worse position. They are in a bit better position than many other corporate jobs when it comes to transfer of skills and learning new profession.

That’s also great reason to start investing in Europe during next economical cycle

Layoffs "because of AI" (plus cheap money drying up and offshoring) versus individuals hacking devices and software, and making dummy copies of paid software that are "good enough" for most users. I wonder if that might be an early sign of a turning point in the IT economic cycle, where companies will need to invest more in security services and specialists with extra knowledge who know where and how to make the most of AI before their rivals do.

IMO Windows 7 was peak user experience.

Yup I have the same problem with audio. And I found more problems last two years than in previous 10. I wonder if that due to some internal cuts in quality assurance or moving to AI and vibe coding more code than devs can review. But it may be subjective feeling.

Very fast. And yes, it can be used for small apps too. With java problem now is not the performance but how verbose still it is. However, it's much better since Java 17 and each release make it even more compact and direct. Like in this release we got much better built-in support for JSON.

Welcome to the 2010. I love this design!

Reading this guy blog posts makes me feel like when I was reading as a kid good pop-science article in the magazine or encyclopedia. Somehow it's easy to follow, nicely visualise and I can trust his work was verified because he was writing like this far before AI.

Either didnt remove yet or ghost jobs like many others nowadays.

I wonder when someone re-"create" for fun with enough tokens and some kind of neurodivergency, operating system that is (mostly) compatible with modern versions of windows but free and is not linux.

Yup, this game was playable on 32MB ram pocket size console with graphic so good and detailed!

> The Japanese automaker is planning a drastic overhaul, including a sleek new design, high-tech interior, and updated platform.

Oh please no! I loved the old boring interiors with analog components

Software engineering - other fields of engineering are slightly less pathological

Huge fines but reasonable. Especially now with all the people doing blind vibe coding

Say this to global warlords not to random user on Hacker News

I wonder if Artificial Analysis could be influenced by certain model companies. Looking at the changelog [0], they updated a few times after new models appeared, so US models progression was much higher than that of other vendors (like when they updated the algorithm after Kimi K3 versus Opus 4.7, so Kimi dropped in the rankings). Or maybe thats just coincidence.

As someone who does not understand how IPO works. So they do not need to show whole “big picture” of their revenue vs costs before going public? Wouldn’t build it trust to show they are healthy company worth investing besides speculation? (It must be naive question from)

Reading all this news makes me feel like some soap opera play is happening at AI companies regarding IPO. Their scale is outside of comprehension of typical Joe like me

They try to sell AI as lawyer or doctor replacements as well. But because it’s HackerNews we are biased towards our domains to see them more often.

Is the bubble bursting? Amount of the news about bad shape of companies highly invested in AI in the past days are quiet alarming or is it just bias?
