Then ban me u loser, as I wrote HN is full of pretentious bullshitters. But its good that u wanna ban authentic views. Way to go. If i feel like it I'll just create a new account:-)

Most code out there is a legacy security nightmare, surely its good to train on that.

Well from cars or CPUs its not expected for them to eventually reach AGI, they also don't eat a trillion dollar hole into us peasants pockets. Sure, improvements can be made. But on a fundamental level, agents/LLMs can not reason (even though they love to act like they can). They are parrots learning words, these parrots wont ever invent new words once the list of words is exhausted though.

No thanks

This site is for unauthentic bullshitters trying to convert a forum to LinkedIn. I like this site for the occasional interesting read. Opening comments however is often times a mistake.

I quit all common social media a few months ago and its been so refreshing. Hackernews is now the only place I regularly frustrate myself with the stupidity of people.

Authentic people shouldn't be here? Interesting.

You are thankfully wrong. I watch lots of talks on the topic from actual experts. New models are just old models with more tooling. Training data is exhausted and its a real issue.

> The people who are in a position to influence the world are those who understand it

are those who can pay people who understand it*

> Well, at least people like me want this.

Yeah because dynamic digital price signs in shops based on what data vendors have about you and AI can extract from it are such fun! Total surveillance. More than what's already happening. Such fun!

I also love how AI enthusiasts just ignore the issue of exhausted training data... You cant just magically create more training data. Also synthetic training data reduces the quality of models.

I'd quickly trash your application if I see you just vibe coded some bullshit app. Developing is about working smart, and its not smart to ask AI to code stuff that already exists, its in fact wasteful.

You are aware that these are individual cases right? How many crimes do Germans commit that aren't blown up in the media? Are you this retarded?

If you really believe this you need help

> It's fine to want that but let's not pretend "rent should be illegal" is a serious or reasonable policy proposal.

So its fine for you that there are people owning 20+ properties speculating on profit for basic human needs? Its literally Nestlé "this is MY water" behavior.

> Landlord isn’t nearly as profitable as some people think.

I am aware of that, still doesnt stop people from speculation and therefor preventing others from buying.

Which should be illegal. Rent would be fine if I got a purchase option after x years of renting. Housing shouldn't be something people profit off of. Landlords are simply leeches.

> Are we looking at a future where home computers are replaced by thin clients and all the power lies in subscription services?

Yes. Personal computing is dying if hardware vendors continue to cater to imaginary data centers for our imaginary AGI.

My country (Germany) still consists out of 72.65% Germans (Wikipedia/Destatis Sept. 2025).

Every other ethnic doesn't surpass 4%.

Being an open and multicultural country kinda implies that other ethnics have a place here, and that's a good thing. Nationalism is the last thing my country needs.

Who would've guessed after Europes citizens repeatedly voted for borderline fascist parties in plenty of countries?

"Oh no some immigrant stole something out of my garden, time to vote a party that not only introduces inhumane immigration policies but also undermines the countries whole social security net due to my inability to think outside the box and personal vendetta against immigrants, surely this will improve things" - 90% of millennials and gen x people I see. People just get dumber and dumber again, education systems are failing since decades. Politicians benefit off of that because its so much easier to introduce propaganda and introduce strawman arguments for their bullshittery. It will get so much worse globally because everyone is frying their brains with smut newspapers, social media, trash tv, youtube, twitch etc etc. Most people my age (~30) dont even have opinions anymore, they just echo whatever their current favorite influencer throws out there and call it "their" opinion without being able to elaborate on it if questioned. Also everyone takes everything so personal too, you cant have arguments anymore without one party feeling personally attacked. I literally had someone say to me (not online) they'd like everyone to be chipped so missing people could be found easier, which left me pretty baffled given that 80 years ago my country tried to find and eradicate every jew. Humanity is beyond broken.

You can just test without submitting though?

Cory's new book is also a pretty cool read, glad I found his work. Shows the enshittification processes big tech went through really well. Also touches on the post-american internet.

HN is a shithole with tons of pretentious people so I'll avoid HN for any opportunities. I am resentful of people with a lot of money who use it for temporary amusement over making the world a better place. Far from jealous though, as I am content with my income. I couldn't care less about good-to-know tech bros.

It 100% was about optimization. Introducing new devices, with more capabilities (storage place recommendations for example), that weren't 10 years old and broke every 2 weeks is optimizing.

Yup same story here, also warehouse optimization. I was the reason the employees got new scanners and oh my... the scanners didn't have a physical keyboard. Now all the 50yo+ would have to aim on a touch display which is apparently impossible.

Also we had to introduce some fixed locations and storage placement recommendations. Our storage workers almost revolted. After a few months it settled though.

Compared to the USA my country has actual democratic processes and laws in place to prevent parties from undermining everything.

This would require a lot of changes in basic human rights and legislatures that would never go through within my lifetime so Ill just not think about this. Nuclear war is far more likely to happen during my lifetime.

I'll agree on that. Europes facade is crumbling as well but people are too comfortable to do anything about it. Maybe the rough times in the USA actually make people take action.

I have a hard time feeling bad for people who voted a criminal into his second term. It was so incredibly obvious this would happen and yet it went through, again. At least its entertaining to watch from the other side of the pond.

I have 500€ in my bank account, 3k debt and 30 years of work left ahead of me and I take a lot of idle time in cafes or trains or the park. I don't see the issue.

The sooner one realizes that working hard isn't the key to life the sooner one realizes you'll have plenty more time. If you get something out of working hard, like joy, sure go ahead. But dont lie to yourself and think that working hard will actually ever pay off.

I do not earn enough to ever afford a house without going into debt for the rest of my life. As long as I can afford a cheap place, one new book a month and a hot shower in the morning I am content with never owning anything. As thats the world all the "hard working" people shoved us into.
