Nothing new to read here..
big_paps··on Why does Opus 5 feel worse to work with?
Thats scary
big_paps··on How I use LLMs to learn complex topics
For Gemini 3 this seems bit to be the case. If you use gems you get completely different personalities - so different that its almost scary. You can create gems which are really insulting, gaslighting or seemingly of a specific profession
big_paps··on Prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping LLM-generated code
As someone who’s been programming for 20 years, I have to say that programming itself often causes a kind of brain rot. I’m very glad that I can now focus on other aspects of software development. It was only with Claude Code that I realized I never actually enjoyed programming—I enjoyed building things. You can live a perfectly mentally healthy life without programming.
big_paps··on The kids with phones are alright
I would say spending everyday hours on your phone especially on social media is way more harmful then being filmed by someone. That aside: This over-the-top behaviour is really damaging. That i sit here in Berlin and can watch how someone in Scottland is called out as a pervert over a minor event is modern lynch mob behaviour, and i am quite sure the intention of the people who spread this is less to protect the kids then just to feel moralic superior.

big_paps··on GPT-5.5 hallucinates 3x more than MIT-licensed GLM-5.2
I realized that people from india often show this kind of behaviour in my experience . They superconfidently give you a wrong answer and walk away or even help by making things worse and then dissappear shrugging .. Are you from india ?
big_paps··on I'm Tired of Talking to AI

big_paps··on An AI agent deleted our production database. The agent's confession is below
The first thing i let build AI in every projekt is a manual backup btn which just makes a backup to a dir AI has no access to.
big_paps··on White House to give US agencies Anthropic Mythos access, Bloomberg News reports
Cancer kills way more people than murder… so what!
big_paps··on Software never had a soul
I think it’s less about the fact that the drivetrain is electric — it’s more that modern cars no longer have analog gauges, no hand-stitched surfaces, none of that tactile craftsmanship. Last year I saw a beautiful Ferrari, and when I looked into the cockpit, there was a touchscreen staring back at me. The whole car loses its character because of something like that. One software update and your dashboard looks completely different.
big_paps··on Software never had a soul
I think the soul of a „thing“ not necessarily equals its function or form. Its perhaps deeper and resembles more something like the term quality i thougt lately about. So two things or actions or whatever have different quality not because of their directly measurable attributes but also because of how it was created so how the context of the thing was affected. Its just a thought i am lately playing with ..
big_paps··on I guess I kinda get why people hate AI
Germany also went through hell in WW1. Hitler himself fought and was wounded. But still he was not a pacifistic politician.
big_paps··on I guess I kinda get why people hate AI
Haha, funny but not true !
big_paps··on I guess I kinda get why people hate AI

This is such a funny write .. thank you!
big_paps··on Ultrasonic Chef's Knife
I have not many virtues but i always keep knives sharp wherever i am. With this tool the last bastion has fallen …
big_paps··on Ask HN: If AGI were invented tomorrow which countries would fare better?
Democracy is exactly the thing i expect to fail in the U.S. in the next years. Probably next elections ?
big_paps··on Meta Spends $14B to Hire a Single Guy
These numbers are completely insane.

big_paps··on WebTUI – A CSS Library That Brings the Beauty of Terminal UIs to the Browser
I find the usage of „i love x“ for x representing something inanimate you surely do not love far more unsettling..
big_paps··on Bored of It
He means beer .. doesn’t he ?
big_paps··on Laravel Cloud
Today, after some years of not using Laravel, i took a glance at their website, planing to eventually use Laravel for a small project.

I was completely shied away by their super marketing strategy and their hundreds of "super useful" packages with all their glorious names.

big_paps··on TypeScript types can run DOOM [video]
This is top bloat and reminds me of the fever-dreams as a child with walls and walls of senseless work… impressive but also sad somehow.

big_paps··on Tesla sales in Germany dropped 41% in 2024
Whatever you buy, you buy a part of lifestyle and self definition. If you buy a Tesla today in Germany, you will be identified as alt right. And these are the people which may habe fewer financial ressources and cant afford one.
big_paps··on Our Paint is a featureless but programmable painting program
Interesting. I also had the idea of a web-based programable painting program, where new brushes could be shared.
