Re:Don't Let Anyone Take Away Your Big Box of Cables on Thursday September 10, 2026 @04:40PM (#49649882)
No, this method does not work. I tried, got rid of all those stuff because why would I need it ever again. And of course a month later I needed that one stupid thing right there and then. And I remember throwing away... Not again, I keep at least one cable of each in a separate box to find immediately, the rest is stored, it is not asking for any money.

Ah, most of the people just click yes, yes, allow, allow, yesIamsure, next. Especially when the system is training them to do exatly this by these meaningless warnings you described.

The forest job sounds nice :)

Makes sense, someone turns on a vpn, have to prepare for that.
Re:Ask HN: Is there anything worth developing with AI? on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @02:19PM (#49614435)
Yes, it is very useful for these kind of things. I hacked my Zyxel router's firmware with it, and reverse engineered the Amiga Kickstart rom, things like this, it's fun :)

But where is the money? Would you start a company based on this? I wouldn't. I just solve problems with it I'm too lazy to do otherwise.

Ask HN: Is there anything worth developing with AI?

It seems to me that humans already developed everything that makes money, multiple times.Apps? The market is full, hundreds of apps are doing the same. Another hundreds are country specific (and doing the same). Bike rental clones, Uber clones, whatever clones, if the business model works it's already cloned.Games? 12000 games released on Steam this year so far. No one cares. GTA6 is the game...

That is their duty.

The time we live in is not too bad. 200 years ago roughly 40-50% of the children died before the age of 18. If you wanted to have 3 kids, you had to make 6.
Re:GPT-6 Astra on Friday September 04, 2026 @11:52AM (#49566370)
I'm not sure about that.

Coding is the easiest thing for the ai to do, the rules are strict, there are plenty of working code to use as example and training data. The most important is that even an ai can decide immediately if the output is good or bad (working vs not working) and try again.

All other white collar jobs does not seem to have this immediate, automatic response loop, so the ai can only rely on a human's judgement on the quality of the work. Which is slow and unreliable. The human is not going to throw an exception while reading the ai generated scientific paper. It is inconsistent, two humans can make the opposite decisions about the same output. No way for the ai to measure auccess.

It is going to change a lot of things for everyone, no question about that, but nothing like this. Coding is obsolete. Actually writing the stuff into an editor does not make any sense.

We are now shepherds, we make sure the agents are well fed and not doing anything stupid.

For me it is amazing to watch it in action, I don't mind being a shepherd :) I'm not interested in the syntax of the languages or code formatting. Tabs or spaces? Who cares, neither. I also don't like shell scripts, batch files, yaml configs, json, xml. Watching the agent going through this shit like a tank is amazing.

This is the job now, we are shepherds.

You sound like an AI.

So its either work or drugs? No wonder people choose drugs then.
But every second bear doubles the transistor count.
Fucking humans and their shitty creations eh?

The Commander X16 is The 8-Bit Guy’s dream computer, designed to evoke the same fondness and nostalgia many of us had for 8-Bit computers, while retaining closeness to the hardware from a programming perspective, unlike the Raspberry Pi and others.
