Scaling software development at Huge AI Company /s We at Huge AI Company has surpassed human capabilities of software development. Git can no longer keep up with our development cycle and we're proud to announce that we're moving to Wish Driven Development.

Unlike Anthropic or OpenAI where no single engineer has any idea what they're doing and still uses pathetic source tracking, we have implemented an evolution and moved on to the next stage with our AGI: Wish Driven Development.

Our engineers, now called Wish Whisperers, open pull requests to add wishes to a controlled environment where all our wishes are stored in a Wish Registry. Swarms of agents are then dispatched to validate these wishes and when the pull requests are merged, implement these wishes directly in production.

Our productivity has significantly gone up, so much so that our Wish Whisperers are now running their own Wish Registries to automate their wishing speed.

To be frank, we still have no idea what we are doing but this is AGI level productivity and it's all that matters at the end of the day.

I'm planning something like this. I already have Home Assistant with Music Assistant working, so playing radio and music and audiobooks in rooms are already possible with my phone. I plan to add ESPHome device with NFC reader to trigger plays so it's easy for the kids to use it. Just need to find where I left my roll of 50 NFC stickers.

One suggestion: In my opinion, kids nowadays are very familiar with charging devices with USB-C. Powering the device with USB-C will be much easier. Worse case scenario, I'll use some small portable power bank and place it inside.

For me, if-branching is the hardest to wrap my head around. "If"s are so natural to CPU programming that it's second nature to any developer but on GPU, it's expensive.

AfD's reaction is expected. Micro-targeting is the core of how they approach their supporters. Even if they lose in court, I fully expect them to continue to do so even when it's illegal.

I'm fine with this as long as F-Droid and other stores are treated equally.

If I have to wait 24h to install an app from another store, I demand the same to apply to AppStore. I see app stores just like browsers: users must have the ability to choose which browser they want when installing an operating system, and for Android, users must be able to select which app store they want and they should work the same way.

I love working with CSS as well. It feels like the most optimized approach to me. However, it's really hard to use CSS as much once the project involves other engineers who don't have that level of interest in CSS.

The worse the crime is, the harder the punishment but only until a certain level, after which the crime is above the law.

I flat out rejected all interviews that required any type of LeetCode or similar tests, in the last 5 years. I have 10+ years experience though so I guess I do have an advantage here. It's often enough to ask for an alternative.

My first impression when I see that LeetCode or similar tools are used is what is the level of their technical team? Am I joining a company that has no person capable of evaluating my skills? Do I still want to join such an incapable organization? Not only during the interviewing process, mind you. My annual performance review, as bad as it is in good companies, will most likely be some kind of LeetCode again.

I think it should be the norm that any company using LeetCode for hiring must post their own staff's scores.

If privacy is a concern:

1. Every hit is hashed and sent to every camera.

2. Whenever a camera detects a license plate, it hashes the license plate and only reports if the hash matches. Nothing leaves or even stored on the device if the hash does not match.

3. There's no "search for hits", you tell cameras which plates to record and every plate registration is associated with person who registered it and reason.

Good luck with that. We'll see who is stupid enough to buy a .lan domain and never get visitors.

This was exactly me a few weeks ago. I felt unbeatable, things that I planned for several weeks finished in a week. I asked the AI about everything I cared about, special cases, how the code worked together, etc... 8 merge requests for my team to review. Man, it felt good.

Hats off to my team, they did review the code. And it was embarrassing. I could not answer any questions asked by my team without looking at the diff. It was supposed to be "my changes", as we have agreed to the team. You can do everything with AI, but you own the changes. I did not. Why do we need to remove duplicates and call GraphQL in batches of 25 IDs when it's for 3 items displayed on the page? Did I have that much distrust in our Ops team to not believe that they can choose 3 unique IDs without having duplicates and know the difference between 3 and 25?

Use AI for anything you want but make sure you own the changes. Otherwise, you're just a meat proxy. Don't be a meat proxy like me. Be better. This world needs you more than ever to own it.

Many VPN providers have servers in many places. Anyone in the US can just use a server in Canada to bypass everything.

I was thinking exactly about this when reading the article. The article writes about house owner benefits but it's the benefits of reduced peaks that are more likely to make providers wanting to do so. With this in place, power plants can take half an hour to increase their generation and top up the battery, instead of having to have faster plants round that caters to peaks.

PS5 uses DNS to resolve where to send RTMP stream. The author found out that they cannot spoof the main server since that server uses TLS and it's not possible to make the PS5 trust self made certificate. The author then runs a real Twitch stream and monitors DNS requests and finds DNS of the server that receives the RTMP stream and spoofs only that final server. It's more of a problem with RTMP protocol/Twitch security rather than the PS5.

Good news. This world needs more cooperation and friendship.

I think it's metadata. Whenever you visit a website, there are many things that track you: 1. The website itself is sending your activities to ads platforms, with your hashed email address and phone number if you're signed in. It does not allow ads platform to reach you directly but email address hash is pretty pinpoint. Everyone hash the same way so it's easy for ads platform to track you across the internet. 2. The website loads trackers which monitor your activities across different websites.

That means if you search for something, not even clicking on it, it's possible for ads network to connect your search topic with your spouse.

I'll never forget the feeling when you get an old phone, replace the battery and it's like brand new again. People no longer need to replace their phone every year anymore so being able to just replace the screen and battery makes the device practically brand new.

AI is a terrible choice for this task. Radarr does this much better with plenty of built-in as well as community guides for configuration. Add a mobile app for Radarr and it's as convenient as it can be.

Struggling with demands is a performance problem, not a reliability problem.

"Coding is solved", how ironic.

I wonder if having another normal camera capturing at the same time to assist with stitching images together will be easier than measuring acceleration? The normal camera doesn't need to have high resolution, just enough to align the images.

One thing this post did not discuss is the enormous effort required to explain to the management why number PRs has increased and number of lines changes, which in their view, means explosion of productivity, yet one engineer is destroying the team's momentum.

Now I remember why I have the site in my adblock list. AI Illustrations are an immediate block for me.

When I discussed voting with Germans (looking forward to my first), the reaction has mostly been about not voting for the party that they are unhappy with. I even have an immigrant friend telling me he will vote for the AfD and could not answer me why he's voting for the party that will kick him out of the country. His reason was more because he's unhappy with how the current situation is and wants changes and doesn't really think what change will help.

It uses Vite so the same limitations as Vite. However, I have been using Vite for my NestJS servers without any problem with `vite-plugin-node`. See example at https://github.com/leosuncin/nest-vite-example/blob/master/v...

This person is so dangerous that if I offer them to stay in my shaded yard in the middle of the excruciating sun, they will demand that I let them take my house as well.

I don't think the prompts that the author has proposed will actually work. Including final scope and non-scope is good but it's more of a reaction of what the AI already did. These prompts are suitable for a rewrite, basically, since it's unlikely anyone would have had these ready when they start out.

I have found small iterations to have the best results. I'm not giving AI any chance to one shot it. For example, I won't tell it to "create a fleet view" but something more like "extract key binding to a service" so that I can reuse it in another view before adding another view. Basically, talk to the AI as an engineer talking to another engineer at the nitty gritty level that we need to deal with everyday, not a product person wishing for a business selling point to magically happen.

On the positive side, LLMs are trained based on real data so the default is for it to tell you what data showed. Companies will certainly enforce their influence but it's extra effort against the enormous amount of data, just like with trying to censor sensitive topics. Any context used for ads means less context for the user to use which in turn negatively affects their usefulness.

We have seen this before. Companies using VC money to take over the market and then increase prices. In the end, we're worse off without these scumbags but some will still sing that we got free service do it's bot enshitification.

I understand that most people want to move to other more modern tools, it's up to you. However, what baffled me is why the author's choice not to move is a problem? Did we pay them to move and they did not move as promised? Was there some crowd funding to move that was not fulfilled?
