China who is encroaching on its neighboring countries? Attacking ships in Philippines waters. Yelling at everyone demanding respect while disrespecting everyone around them.

No, China is no more a grownup than the US.

HN isn't designed for flame wars sure, but comments regularly get down voted till hidden just for having a differing opinion.

Edit: Not being able to down vote till 300 points is a good thing tho, does prevent new accounts being created just to down vote.

> When someone asked, he got downvoted a bunch and ridiculed, which reminds me of why I don't have a Reddit account.

This happens on HN too.

I can't reply to every comment about 'vibe coding' but its strange that HN of all places still seems to think that AI is only good for 'coding'. We use AI across all departments and have laid off 0, and still hiring. AI is great for small to medium businesses to increase productivity and revenue without needing to hire lots of people. Big companies are realizing they hired way too many people.

There's a LOT of Anti-AI people at Microsoft that they are trying to purge. I don't think its depressing, think it's just something we have to go through and a lot of people will who were negatively affected will look back on wondering why they pushed so hard against AI rather than up skilling.

I tried reading after that line but I couldn't take it seriously anymore.

No they arent? See BYD for sure, but see most other brands more often still.

They are car lite. You need to purchase a CoE before you buy a car, those last 10 years, and are auctioned off. Current prices are ~133k sgd for a CoE not including the car which can often be 100k+

Bedrock is really bad. It seems like they don't host the models very well because they produce tons of bugs/errors calling the model. For example you can end up with Anthropic models not returning a stop token and you end up waiting for a timeout thinking its doing something when it isn't.

Is this what you truly believe?

Oh sorry, to catch you up on the conversation. We are talking about Twitter, and we are discussing it on HN where the uneducated like to hate on Elon.

hagbard_c replied with a bunch of examples to the initial reply to me.

> iirc your comments weren't even making any big statements, just giving out your simple opinions without even invoking any political beliefs

Initially I did type out more, but I didn't want to turn it into an argument, so I kept its simple.

I just don't like that the left keep spouting out that elon did a nazi salute when he didn't, and his gesture is no different to anything the democrats have done. But HN is frustrating like this. You try to keep it simple and neutral. Downvoted/flagged. You voice your opinion. Downvoted/flagged.

No. They don't have eyes, because its quite clear to anyone with half a brain that it's not a nazi salute, and is no different to the same hand gesture that democrats use. It's sad the loud minority still believe calling everyone a nazi or fascist bears any weight.

It's smooth in Chrome but its buggy and unplayable in Firefox :( but fun!

I'll happily pay for Grok, it's a great model. 4.6 often does better than Anthropic at coding and analysis where Anthropic fails for 'oh no cyber security, don't ask me to check if you're redacting passwords correctly in logs'. And it has no problem telling the truth where OpenAI / Anthropic don't want to upset the people on the left and will happily lie or avoid hard truths.

Edit: I get it. It's a hard pill to swallow. I understand people don't like Musk or Zuck. But it doesn't change the fact that you're being lied to and brainwashed.

If you're building your own system this is an easy problem to solve.

> This is exactly how tightly coupled, unmaintainable software is constructed.

No. If you're struggling to build software against a DB and then abstract parts to use Redis or ES or whatever in the future, that's kinda a skill issue you or your team have with building poor software to begin with. Nothing to do with using a DB for multiple things like a Queue/Search etc.

Yeah this really isn't so true anymore. I was a diehard Dapper fan for a long time, but the performance of EF Core is comparable to Dapper now. Dropping down to SQL in EF Core is super easy and parameterized. I just don't even bother with Dapper anymore. I have an app with ~200k users with the slowest query being ~6ms and of 1000s of queries only 3 are hand rolled complicated SQL written for perf executed via EF Core.

Probably has better uptime, tho I think everyone beats github on this right now.

Payments themselves are so much complicated. Payments to support multi-currency, jurisdictions, countries, scenarios, that's complicated.

I have no interest in this topic at all, but I couldn't stop watching the video. It turned out to be really interesting!

Musk didn't break the law.

Your analogy is breaking the law.

> this is a wildly bad-faith argument

No. Calling it illegal is just something people do because they hate musk. They fell into a loop hole and had no permits as they were technically allowed if they stayed in 1 spot for less than 364 days. EPA later determined they did not qualify and required permits, permits were later granted.

Musk operated in a grey area to run his business to avoid having an idle data center while other people dragged their feet.

I purposely cut off `illegal` because calling it `illegal` was bad faith to begin with. But it's not unexpected that musk haters will come out raising banners in protest.

> unpermitted gas turbines they've been running at their Memphis Colossus data center

Just a reminder that when you're building a business, having land and a datacenter ready and cannot be switched on, with idle staff, costs the business money.

xAI could only draw 7-8MW from the grid and needed to run 10s of 1000s of H1000s. They shipped in 15 gas turbines as a more permanent onsite power plant while TVA/MLGW worked on expanding the grid supply to 150-300MW.

So you can get upset at musk all you want, but he has a business to run, and waiting for a full grid build out isn't practical.

If your DB is write heavy, tune it for writes...

I tried it on all major models and it just tells me it a satire website. Would like to know what it fails on.

Why is this 'Honeypot'?

When FB was private Zuck had 57% of class B voting right stock. He retained this on IPO. My point is, if he did not have control over voting, before/after IPO, FB/Meta would not be where it is today. He prevented Ads being on FB for many years operating at a loss to grow FB while shareholders complained wanting to shove Ads all over the place.

I just like being able to pick up old projects that i avoided for ages, and being able to pull in HTMX and make it a bit more modern without rewriting in react/vue etc. And it feels like a modern app, not a 90s app.
