What were the issues that spawned the Luddite movement? What was their argument?

Flawed analogy! These bugs are bugs regardless of the label. Security bugs are a subset of "regular" bugs.

You have a perverse view of product ivity

why u just programming directly into a hn text box?

Contrapositive in this usage is a fancy word for, "my logic is flawed"

No, if you are already making bad decisions, you are going to make more. I never argued that good engineering means the idea was good.

The ads show they are out of ideas and with everything enshitifying, and a duopoly, they don't need to serve customers. just be slightly less shitty than google.

This puts them at existential risk of disruption, because it will build huge unseen pressure for customers to flee.

We saw this with Opus 4.7 - 5, losing folks to Sol when it came out. But Anthropic delivered with 5.5

I don't even notice the LLM speed or latency. I think we are as far apart in technique as it gets.

Funny that so many people in this thread are arguing that a bad idea should also be engineered well. It was already a bad idea, so no it won't be. They are a package deal.

When someone else controls distribution, they also control the spark, each request could serve up a different payload. So innocuous images could encode ids, tracking receivers as well as originators.

You can't compare if you don't know the cost, if you can't compare it is hard for the invisible hand to price the market.

Price transparency makes more efficient markets.

Re:I am often wrong on Sunday September 20, 2026 @09:34PM (#49782044)

That isn't typically how abstraction is tallied. The ceo doesn't say they use 15k employees, or the programmer uses 30B transistors. Or the director uses 120 workers. You enumerate what you actually interact with.

Re:I am often wrong on Sunday September 20, 2026 @09:21PM (#49781960)

That isn't humanly possible, you will blow out your neurotransmitters and not be able to think. Only being semi serious, but we can't make that many decisions a day.

Do you have plans for eval? what would stop you from supporting eval?
