Not sure what the LLM is adding there then other than injecting a step into your search that could hallucinate.

Half of the value in open source was that it was used by lots of people and all of the nasty edge cases and bugs have been ironed out.

If LLMs were performing according to hype then yes, virtually all paid software would be gone by now and there would be a high quality FOSS equivalent of all of it.

Theyre also inclined to jump into talking about solutions rather than their actual problem which inhibits analysis of the problem.

and now there are 20x as many demanding maintenance everything is 20x better.

megacorps not paying taxes is kind of like a backdoor inserted into code.

the lawmakers know exactly what theyre doing but they'll throw their hands up in their and claim it was an accident or unavoidable if challenged. the people who perpetuate their narrative are an intrinsic part of how this process functions.

The quality drop off when vibe coding something novel is pretty sharp. LLMs lean heavily on the existence of relevant training material.

Companies which are ok losing $80 billion in Q1 and Q2 can do that.

If you deregulated it and made it pay for its own disaster insurance it would stop existing.

Without price anderson act dumping the liability on to taxpayers nobody would build nuclear reactors even at the cost they are.

Whenever redis, mysql or postgres rear their head it raises all sorts of ugly questions like do you let apps share databases, how do you do backups, etc.

For apps that will have 1-3 users and a few hits a day a sqlite file is far less operational overhead and can be backed up with all of the other files that app has.

isn't it a nightmare running home assistant with kubernetes? i had a bad enough time just using docker compose.

In 2026 it's barely concealed racism - an islamophobic trope that doesnt get called out enough.

Sundar Pichai will need to take a class from Dario in open source fearmongering.

How? Addictive food is profitable food is it not?

I agree that no conspiracy is necessary, basic market incentives dictate that addictive "once you pop you can't stop" food is just good business.

I was perfectly clear.

I suspected that somebody might read what I wrote and interpret it as "attaching your name automatically reduces the toxicity of social networks".

I don't think theres a way to end toxicity and spam in social networks without also ending anonymity.

>I’d find it hard to believe there are evil food scientists in big food companies who are nefariously designing food for overeating.

You really find it hard to believe that profit making companies that engineer food would engineer food for profit?

What about if they advertised it with a catchy phrase like "once you pop you can't stop"? Would you still shake your head and say "not credible"?

First you'd have to stop the agents from flagging hundreds of irrelevant nasties.

I think the next generation of exploit will be putting up code all over the internet that does x, y and z and then when asked to one shot whatever that code does the agents bake in the exploit that was indirectly included in their training corpus.

I crave more reliable software more than I do software that is infinitely customizable.

Spinning jennys are neat but if theyd been invented in a world where use of star trek replicators was routine I think theyd be more curiosity than revolutionary.

"Artisanal code" would definitely die off if the cp command didnt work perfectly or cost thousands of dollars to run but it doesnt hence why the metaphor is at best mistaken (and at worst dishonest, e.g. when frontier labs are desperately pushing it).

And, the flip side is that artisanal clothes would probably make a huge comeback if star trek replicators were invented and nobody would want cheap sweatshop made crap any more. Why would you when handmade Gucci silk clothing could be yours for a couple of bucks?

that backlash is inevitable anyway. that pyramid is based upon projections which are flat out insane.

arguably these days it's even more non profit than before and getting more so.

my previous comment was about my peek behind the scenes.

the worst software decisions were primarily about corruption, even when they looked like they were about competence.

ime the private sector isnt any more competent on average it's just that most companies' IT budgets can't be milked endlessly with the right connection. even there there are exceptions though.

Theyre mostly immune to lobbying.

My instinctive reaction from the readme is that it isnt. It's apparently a vibe coded knock off of llama.CPP.

oh dont think it's done anything the bring down the cost of services and it won't.

95+% of the companies throwing AI at problems have problems which can't be solved with AI.

even where it helps it's usually just duck tape wrapped around badly implemented IT systems.

if AI performed as advertised and wasnt just a mildly useful (& addictive) tool thats been hyped up beyond belief it would still be exerting a deflationary pressure on the economy which would compensate for increasing energy prices.

The UK had some success with GDS. Not all IT in bigger countries is failures.

I honestly think that labeling corruption as corruption and a popular sentiment towards slamming a few people in jail for it would go a long way towards fixing these problems.

Instead even among the general public the sentiment is "government is just incompetent" which helps soften the reaction to it and thus indirectly encourages it to get worse.

There's no shortage of countries around the world that have dug themselves a corruption hole they struggle to get out of. It's easier to fix it starting from here than there but we don't want to end up there.

depends on the country. this type of corruption is guaranteed in some countries, less so in others. Singapore is usually good at avoiding it. Their online services are very good.

the government can switch up the incentives and for example make payment contingent on people actually using the platform as well as opening the tender to startup teams (usually they are locked out).

this is pretty much exactly what I would have said too. they could fix these things but it would cost a lot of money and/or impact the economy and defense and they just dont want to boost the birth rate that badly.

only thing I would add is the size of HDBs - they've been shrinking which I'm sure puts psychological pressure on young adults to not have kids.

this is their third attempt at a government run dating service I think :/

it's low key kind of funny how they keep reaching for the quick fix to their collapsed birth rates instead of changing the things that would cost real money or make them less desirable to foreign investors.
