I don't know if you are working in an organization that's experienced this yet, but AI reviewers have superseded human reviewers, much like they have on the coding side. The value of developers is steering both of these and kind of doing a form of reading tea leaves amongst the two, but even that is collapsing.

TLDR, the coding output and automated reviewers have superseded humans at this point. No human is reading the PRs closely, anymore.

I have 20/20 but for some reason cannot handle dark mode except for two things, terminal and coding and I cannot do light mode for either of those.

But whether it is my os ui or my phone ui, I feel like I can't distinguish borders and boundaries in the UI as well as I can with light mode.

What I mean is just a modest effort to guide the model up front is adequate for the full end to end session -- one-shotting, basically. I used to go through planning mode prior to 5.5, to make sure it understood my intentions but I no longer need to. I just ramble off the desired outcome and some broad architectural guidelines into wisprflow, hit enter, answer any questions it has and then a PR that tends to only get minor feedback is produced. It's basically fire and forget.

IMO Opus 5.5 has quietly been a revelation. It basically requires no hand holding from me given a sufficiently articulated prompt. At this point I'm limited by reviews and end-to-end validation of changes.

If it deskills that guy who reaches for complex bash when they should reach for golang but they don't want to bother with writing the build layer in the image, then I'm all for it.

Kubernetes is probably more responsible for deskilling, or at least constraining, the expertise, of SRE/devops/platform/infrastructure engineers than anything.

I don't think that's a bad thing, it makes infrastructure more consistent and less weird (assuming you understand k8s) but it is a very high level of abstraction and for a bunch of people is just a black box.

I don't disagree. Also probably more logs and more metrics since LLMs can scale instrumentation, signals and auditing far beyond what humans could ever process, which in turn, more tokens. Probably larger Datadog bills too.

> I really can't think of a decent solution for those people other than being plugged in 24/7 to the latest news which is really unfortunate and must be exhausting

The future is near constant burning of tokens in your software factory to do this automatically. The labs create the increase in demand for their own product.

For me the most recent Claude models are consistently delivering complex PRs that only receive minor and nit level feedback from multiple automated AI reviewers. I rarely plan anymore, but still submit fairly long dictated prompts. It took me a couple of weeks to realize this was the case, and I haven't done any analysis on pre-5.5 PRs, but it definitely feels like they quietly crossed some kind of new threshold of quality and accuracy in coding.

If they're so confident this isn't exploitable this person should stand up a very basic nginx running php-fpm server running in an exploitable version of PHP and invite people to exploit it.

Prices for higher-end lake homes/cabins/vacation homes etc., for AirBnB and VRBO are roughly equivalent where I live. This is pretty much the only kind of AirBNB I'll consider, and it is usually more about the the location of the home (on a lake, near skiing, etc) and it being large enough to split amongst others. Also many are managed by property management companies and list across multiple platforms. If I can track down the company I'll directly contact to see if there are cheaper rates.

IMO this is basically the only category of AirBnb that's worth considering and it doesn't seem like a big growth area.

The security team at my company is working with a frontier lab to scan all our code/systems. They are in a borderline panic to close every possible issue, even innocuous ones that are buried under defense in depth. Whatever they are seeing from our partner has them spooked -- as in "acceptable risk" is no longer a thing anymore.

The global virus pandemic that is responsible for a total lockdown and a multitude of deaths and spread immediately via global transportation system wasn't enough for you?

They initiate a cash transfer via ACH, which takes a few days (absurd). In the meantime they honor the amount you decided to withdraw. It's a bookie floating a new gambler.

I opened an account two days ago to buy one share of GME for fun, then they blocked my ability to, but I still can't take my money out -- despite my bank notifying me that it's been withdrawn. This is because they probably process all the ACH records in a nightly job on weekdays. It'll be Monday before the money can begin its 3 day trip back to my bank.

So much of this process is unnecessary but what are you going to do? They (the entrenched financial system) have you by the throat.

I lived in NYC for 11 years and the only things I miss are my friends and Fresh Direct.

There is no whataboutism coming from me. You are welcome to point out where I've advocated for such a thing.

For the last four years there has been a constant refrain that we need "adults in the room". Right now more than ever, we do. For some people the chickens are coming home to roost and I'm just saying -- we -- and by "we" I mean reasonable people -- should avoid our worst tendencies in this moment, even privately.

I agree with you. I think there is something wrong with the way we are reacting to these people and it's ratcheting up every day. I personally think they are deplorable and retrograde and, above all, willfully ignorant. But there is something wrong with this entire system and the path forward feels as untenable as the path we've been on.

There has to be a detente, but I would never suggest that amongst my orbit of people. The language of the moment is so loaded, I'd probably be called a bootlicker. At the same time I had friends calling for the gunning down of these people as they overran the Capitol.

It's very hard to reconcile all of this turmoil.

I'm saying that the phrase "people literally overthrowing the democratically elected government of the US." is hysterics. That is not what happened.

Also there was bloodshed.

I don't care about what this president does because he's a repulsive child.

Is there reason for alarm? Sure. The Capitol Police were negligent in planning and performing their duties. There was not a sufficient lockdown and security protocol for the physical items. Probably all sorts of other things. These people committed felonies and should be punished.

But this was not a revolution. Our government was not overthrown.

From Wikipedia (I know...):

> Many scholars consider a coup d'état successful when the usurpers seize and hold power for at least seven days.

They didn't seize and hold power for any time whatsoever. They had no plan. They had no organization. They did not execute a plot in any way. They were rioters. There was nothing close to what could be constituted as overthrowing of the government.

> people literally overthrowing the democratically elected government of the US.

The hysterics in this thread are pretty rich.

This is a grouchy reply. The OP obviously isn't trying to get Tekken running on a Peloton.

You can imagine "games" in this sense being competitions played out via the bike, so time trials, race tournaments, etc. Compete with your friends (or others) to get through a race comparable to Tour de France stages -- something like that. Aside from survival, there is no greater motivator for pushing oneself physically than competition. Games facilitate that.

In any case, it looks like you got what you wanted.

No it's not acceptable. But let the police get the situation under control. Why bring in the military?

Sure, with a clear mission planned and dictated by the state you were in. They didn't just send in the troops right away in reaction to an ongoing situation that also happens to be the certification of the election of the president.

By all accounts the people in power were committed to certifying the election. We've got no reason to think they have changed their minds on this. The police were underprepared and overwhelmed by protesters (terrorist, coupists, whatever), they also chose not to fire on these protesters, so this happened. Let the police get it under control, let the election get certified (whenever and where that happens), and then we can begin to sort this mess out. That process may yet involve the National Guard, but their role and objective should be crystal clear.

The history of any military interceding in election issues is not a good one. There are police for this and this is incident is developing. Give it time before you call in the guns. I'm not gaslighting anyone -- I'm saying this needs to be handled delicately.

Ferguson did not involve the transfer of power of the executive branch of the USA.

No. They are taking this very slowly because it is a very serious issue. The military doesn't just start rushing into something like this.

I feel like I'm going crazy listening to people make calls for the MILITARY to get involved.

Do you want this to escalate? This would be a bad time to start making martyrs out of these people.
