always damn government getting in the way of random stranger being able to come to your house and do some electrity…

call me when the first one happens (hint I’ll be dead by then). the problem is that the world is coming to realization that everyone can write code. given that, no one is switching of intuit or whatever to some vibe coded nonsense. I think reddit is probably the best place to see this in action. hit any subreddit whose moderators are OK with posting “ads” and you’ll see post after post that looks like Show HN now, “I was tired of ____ so I built ____” and even funnier, just about every post will make a special note “I spent a year+ building it” - too funny.

this too shall absolutely not pass, in fact it will get worse

30 years of looking at human written code, not great :) in the early years for me (late 90’s) code was just solid. dotcom boom happened and “overnight” everyone was a fucking coder. there are too many of us and average coder is so bad that you would never hire them. not only that, even at 90 percentile is fairly terrible coder. AI has absolutely been training on this garbage human code so it was terrible at coding initially… but it is evolving now on its own

yes, and hiding them or forbiding them will work too :)

never going to happen. there aren’t dozens but tens of thousands and every knows that everyone is a “coder” now. hence no one will be switching off any of the platforms they are on and these “competitors” will die out or keep paying $20/m to vercel to keep the lights on.

sorry I was just joking :)

exactly, and Tesla cannot move a car from point A to point B since 2014 so this projected growth certainly is great news for a lot of companies - Tesla is not one of them

pablo escobar was a billionaire too

> Tesla is making two big R&D plays…

The funniest thing you can write… Can’t believe people still write “Robotaxi” after 12+ years of failed promises… wild wild stuff

my coffee machine works for me every day too

48 quarterly reports is (should be) :-)

in related news, nestle announced that, contrary to popular beliefs, 10,000lbs of chocolate per day is perfectly reasonable amount of chocolate to consume

> What's happening in New York isn't sustainable

This made me laugh hard! Imma use this moving forward, whenever I am politically/policy-wise proven as wrong as humanly possible I will say “well this is not sustainable” - case closed :)

> Democrats have always been war hawks

Yup but they don’t run on “America First” and “Stop senseless wars” campaign that sheep ate up in 2024 and now are cheering the tragedy and national embarrasment that is the war in Iran

useful for what? my unemployed neighbours wordpress website?

how are they not “mostly AI”?

I just invested ALL my money into AMZN cause next earnings report will be FIRE :)

eh your typical off-by-7 (zeros) programmer mistake

according to my wife we paid about 1/2 of that :)

If the prompt was “Who are 2026 Field Medal Winners” it is impressive regardless of the stupidity of people managing the website

did you read the article? it is already illegal to launch satellites without permission, hence the article (above the fold in the summary) is stating SpaceX applied for permission :)

your sister’s calendar does not really qualify as “widespread malware attack” :)

and neither do thousands of “fake apps” that no one installs

file a criminal complaint to a criminal organization? ;) the only thing you can do with a criminal organization is bring a larger envelope than others

I go from company to company just to be able to add their logo to stuff I use :)

I was commenting on

> A fairer, more effective strategy would be subsidizing the first year or so of the child's care- diapers, food, clothes, cribs, vaccines and such.

And not anything political. United States is so fucked beyond repair when even commenting on birth rates turns into “being on the left politically”

no one (I mean this, not one person on Earth) will be swayed to have a baby given your offer.

thats the problem, it should be at the top of the list (all the way at the top) and nothing else should be close 100th

couldn’t give two shits about being downvoted but of course tells you all you need to know about what HN has become :)
