Really sad to no see Blackbox in the list, it was the only one I found useable at the time (around 2001)
Re:Ask HN: So is AI taking our jobs? on Friday September 18, 2026 @02:44PM (#49758483)
Automation has been "taking our job" now for over 400 years, the cool thing about programmers is they produce automations and thanks to the Jevons Paradox, we are guaranteed to have inifite work as long as we are willing to adapt to the new tools.

Angine de Poitrine is the perfect example of that, something current AI would have a hard time replicating but I'm not saying it's not possible.
Re:ZX Spectrum: Experimenting with 1-Bit Sound on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @11:37AM (#49611909)
Turns out 1-Bit encoding is the most efficient solution, even for the highest end of audio quality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-sigma_modulation

Sounds like they haven't heard of the Pareto principle.
vi, I pay willing with my extra time using nano to never have to learn that atrocity

Re:What's the best programming language for coding agents? on Tuesday August 11, 2026 @09:55AM (#49258429)
I would argue that the fact that there is a lot of bad python code out there is actually a good thing for training data, gives the chance of learning what works and what doesn't.Also there are bad programmers that have found original solutions to very niche problems, would be nice to know about those even if it means rewriting the whole thing.

Stay away, I had bad experience myself, I'm sure there is something better out there. For me I ended up asking Claude to build a custom RAG pipeline, took an afternoon and is 10x faster.

No Windows? Is it a political choice or is there a technical limitation?

“History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes” – Mark Twain

Looking forward to the impending AI and crypto crash and have people run GoL simulations on expensive computer systems like it's 1972 again.

What are some examples of an OS needing to do floating point numbers calculations?
