Elixir next ;) with clustering across workers (kind of kidding because elixir probably does not make sense for CF workers)

Silly argument. It’s more like buying a BWM and being happy with everything expect a stupid decision like placement of the handbrake. Of course you can complain about it.
They probably have insurance which means it doesn’t matter if it is all in one car or not. And even if they didn’t Samsung is big enough where a loss of a couple million dollars of components isn’t gonna bankrupt them.

Im guessing the intention wasn’t that Disney would actually sue them in court but just getting it blocked automatically in YouTube, etc
All studies point that there is no easier to learn a language in your 30s than in your teens. Probably easier since you have better mental tools for study.

Of course time constraints can be worse (or better)

I mean I’m sure it’s the reverse for an artist. They would be less impressed with the image and more impressed with the code quality
Napster was a company. Pretty sure that company didn’t tell you that.
Re:Astra for Law on Thursday September 17, 2026 @07:46PM (#49748351)
Very little of corporate law is in court. The mass of things is “does this contract look good?” And “what do we need to change in our business when regulation X comes into force?”

Re:Why I'm still bearish on LLMs after navier-stokes on Wednesday September 16, 2026 @09:39AM (#49726894)
> Why do I even scroll through this website.

Because other HN bring in their own experience telling us what is real and what is BS. Maybe next time it will be someone else with experience in something else that will call out BS and you will see it. I didn’t really think LLM:s are any near good in chess but I don’t play chess so don’t know what 1600 means. So you helped me by calling BS.

Laws change morals and ethics over time. They affect each other. Laws change what people think is moral (just look at how many people think it is moral to sell alcohol but immoral to sell cannabis. That of course is changing now as laws are changing).

My points is it does not matter that the autopilot is superior to humans we still don’t replace pilots fully.
Re:Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating? on Sunday September 13, 2026 @09:34AM (#49683845)
We are. If I as a developer writes software that does a DDOS at another company I can be held responsible.
Re:Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating? on Sunday September 13, 2026 @09:33AM (#49683827)
You can write code that isn’t deterministic using random. And a lot of traditional code contains machine learning etc.
Re:Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating? on Sunday September 13, 2026 @05:16AM (#49681786)
Yeah, I don't understand why we treating it as something special. It really should be treated the same as if I code an app and write bad code which result in me accidentally doing a DDoS attack on somebody. Then I should be able to be held responsible if it can be shown that I was negligent. Of course if it's a freak accident that could not reasonably have been prevented by me, then I'm not guilty, but if I made a mistake that should have not been made, then I can.
Re:AgentsDock: An IDE designed for agentic AI research on Sunday September 13, 2026 @04:50AM (#49681609)
What features I paseo missing that you have?
Yea, that extreme side exists too. Truth is inbetween. AI with the instructions from a dev that knows what it is doing writes better code than most regular 9-17 devs.
Indeed. And not fair comparisons ”look at the quality of this small one-shot Claude hobby project. The quality is less than this major open source project written by some of the best developers in the world”
Re:iPhone Duo on Thursday September 10, 2026 @01:57AM (#49638979)
But remember health was a small thing when the watch was launched. Then the focus was on notifications, communications etc. Fitness was more of a ”oh and it also tracks your heart rate”

Autopilots have been able to fly planes better than humans at almost zero cost for years yet no one has replaced pilots.
Re:Intellectual Fly Is Open on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @10:15AM (#49610660)
Because I didn’t need to type it. If you are a fast typer and love type emails then sure you don’t benefit from it. I don’t love it and I don’t type that fast.

It didnt get it from the docs. There is no public docs. I know it because I wrote the code.

There is no downvote button for submissions. Are you lying?
Bunny CDN for the win. They are awesome, European and affordable.
You get that there isn’t even a downvote button for submissions right? Jesus
It is a joke.
Haha you saved me from doing that. I was so close.
Re:Intellectual Fly Is Open on Sunday September 06, 2026 @10:41AM (#49586950)
On the other hand there is so much things that don’t require hard thinking. An example is I got an email the other day from a supplier asking if they can turn off their old email. It didn’t require ”thinking”. All I had to communicate was ”turn off graphql but don’t touch restapi”. Instead of sending off such a short and maybe unclear reply I had AI type up a concise and clear reply with exactly what can be turned off and what must be left on. Could I have done it on myself? Sure but would require more work than just a quick prompt and copy paste.
This is so sad. America is really messed up. In other countries it is normal for a child to be allowed to walk on their own
