It is a big deal, but not big enough for them to go out of business

Thanks for clarifying, that’s a huge difference. Obviously they will have other revenue sources, but will likely make a small portion of their revenue. If we approximate their growth rate by these numbers, it is quite a slowdown.
Re:Someone behind the software on Sunday October 18, 2026 @05:13PM (#50145544)
If AI can write better code and design better architecture, why can’t it make better product decisions? I don’t see how they are fundamentally different

Reminded me the movie Code 3, it was a great watch.
Yea, feel like a lot of big ones this year, but looking it up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earthquakes_in_2026 it is actually not necessarily worse than previous years.

Love the wisdom and transparency, such an amazing thread

Workers are in the same process but have separate heap, global vars, gc etc, the isolation is managed and achieved by V8. It is much lightweight compared to micro VM or containers. But the downside is you have to use JS because of V8.

Most parts of it are for the average person, but I guess you could argue the audience isn’t the average person

Re:Claude Opus 5 on Saturday July 25, 2026 @04:46AM (#49045769)
I think their point is that there is no new invention here, being able to mimic what a human will do is absolutely impressive, but at the same time it is still mimicking humans. While I just type that out, I do realize my expectations for AI has been constantly lifted by how fast it iterates.
Re:In praise of memcached on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @02:19AM (#48641064)
Not maintaining 2 cache technologies is always a winning argument.
There was probably a slack post celebrating how they leveraged LLM to improved efficiency on password resets
Re:xAI joins SpaceX on Monday February 02, 2026 @09:39PM (#46865728)
that's an amazing read, lots of concrete and convincing challenges; but otoh, technology is evolving at such a fast pace, maybe it is possible for breakthroughs that we couldn't imagine now to become reality sooner than we would have anticipated?
Re:xAI joins SpaceX on Monday February 02, 2026 @07:27PM (#46864495)
maybe I am a fool, does space-based AI make no sense at all?

> then have rest of the day off to enjoy things I like

But that's not what companies expect from you, even if you owns AI. They expect you to output more, and when you do, someone else is probably out of work.

Re:Betterment Hacked by Crypto Scam on Friday January 09, 2026 @08:10PM (#46561624)
They just sent out email about the scam. I was so annoyed that even after opening the app, the notification icon still persists, wondering if the hack on the notifications exploits some loophole in the Betterment app
Re:How I Left YouTube on Thursday December 25, 2025 @09:31AM (#46384621)
I am at the stage of life where I appreciate this wisdom and desire the practice of it, but lack the will power to not get caught up “trying to win the game”. Once a while I get anxious about leveling and compensation, overwhelmed by comparison with peers. For people who had the similar struggles but managed to overcome, what worked for you?
Re:Craft software that makes people feel something on Friday December 12, 2025 @04:33AM (#46242422)
> At the same time treating software like an art is probably not very useful. That code is (typically) not written to be looked at, but to make the computer do something useful.

FWIW you can argue the same for woodworking, a chair is typically not made to be looked at but for people to sit on. I tired to think what inherently makes writing software treated less than a craft than woodworking, but couldn’t think of any.

Re:OpenAI Is Just Another Boring, Desperate AI Startup on Friday October 03, 2025 @02:40PM (#45466271)
didn't even realize that, have to double check and saw the "read full story" banner
So it only solves a tail problem. I would assume the percentage of subscribers with poor internet is low.
Surely there is a lot of workload is delay-able, but there is equal, if not more, amount of workload that do not have the luxury of waiting. Is it fair to see the serverless platform has no advantage for the latter workload?
I can understand the downvotes, but at the same time it does makes sense, especially given the target is a logician.
If I read the article correctly, Gödel's rationale is pretty much "The world is orderly organized, therefore after life is supposed to exist"?

I must have read it wrong, because I couldn't see the causality at all.

Re:Seamless: Meta's New Speech Models on Friday December 01, 2023 @12:07PM (#38489155)
As someone working in tech and following along the progression of AI, I believe I have the right expectation. But still feels surreal seeing myself speaking a foreign language in my own speech style.
Re:Sam Altman is still trying to return as OpenAI CEO on Monday November 20, 2023 @02:56PM (#38353626)
This is the most logical explanation I have seen so far. Makes me wonder why Dustin Moskovitz himself wasn't on the board of OpenAI in the first place.
Thank you! I have always thought Sam reminds me some actor, but was never able to make the connection.

Especially the opening scene with flying cars in the back.
The blog post speaks quality, but what's truly great is that the author knows when/why to stop the adventure.

This one is amazing, even just the fact that someone thought about representing images with binary format of prime number
