Christ, this is exhausting.

And I'm just going to link the obligatory link to the video of a Viggen landing, reversing, turning around and taking off again, because that's just how cool the Viggen was.

From stationary to airborne in 8 seconds.

I spent an hour on Friday restraining myself from swearing at Kiro, which was loudly and sarcastically convinced that the "network" issues it was having talking to a local MCP server were due to a misconfigured proxy server and it wanted to open a JIRA ticket against the team responsible to fix it.

It was only when I provided it the logs that it believed my contemplationr that it was it, itself, which was at fault for not correctly adding an Authorization header to the requests it was generating.

These things are like teenagers who just discovered Ayn Rand. They're infuriating.

how is this any different to naively running a webserver or database server or, in fact, anything as yourself?

People are forgetting the basic rules of operating systems. Do not run sensitive programs as a user account - especially not as a root account!

Nice try, Drop Bears.

> Our Chief Product Officer is four. She saw the headline and screamed. The board interpreted this as a mandate.

Chef's kiss

Doesn't it?

The technology exists to build it. The pipelines exist to populate it. The marketing engine exists to leverage it for targeted delivery of content.

And yet, somehow, nobody's built it?

How sure are you of that?

and if all the jobs that are available are for bashing puppies on the head with a hammer, you'll do the noble thing and watch your family starve to death, right?

> It seems that the only people who are hating on this aren't even writers themselves.

I will gladly be the counter-example, then. I program. I'm grumpy. I also, however, write fiction - and have for well over twenty years now.

Writing is a skill I acquired and honed through hard work, diligence, and practice. I would no more cede "creative" control of my stories to a LLM than I would load a MIDI track onto my piano and claim the piano's perfect rendition as my own.

But feel free to characterise I - and others - as "grumpy coders who probably don't write".

In accordance with the prophecy.

We're setting ourselves up to the be the humans on the ship Axiom from WALL-E

The reaction is not because the OP used AI to create software.

The reaction is because OP's software facilitates the outsourcing of creative writing to a agentic content mill, and many HN users take issue with that.

AI feels like a Faustian bargain that has been struck on my behalf by others who do not know me.

"Tools" like this make me feel nothing but a profound sense of sadness and despair.

easy on, easy off, easy to fence.

why are you resubmitting something you submitted 78 days ago?

Believe it or not, the UK already does this to people for whom there is no plausible asylum claim. The problem, if you want to think about it as such, is that the UK currently believes in treating potential asylum claimants as such rather than automatically labeling them as criminals.

Believe it or not, they actually already do this.

I was thinking earlier that a traditional spring-based pocket watch seems far more intricate to me than a wodge of glass and silicon. I know the phone is far more complex, but intricate? Nah.

Not the RSI I was expecting it to be.

Bad news, budget cuts mean we can afford a flounder with a paper fan. His name's Steven and he lives about twenty yards east of Lulworth Cover, but we reckon he's okay to commute to work.

All right, mate, let's hear your plan for securing the UK's south-eastern coastline.

It's called being insulated from the immediate consequences of their actions and hubris.

Oh boy, it's a big one.

Or even what they were regularly doing to grids of rainforest in Vietnam.

Why would no local cache on a laptop hold the IP address for the api endpoint if it's already open in the browser and being posted to?

I studied History of Art in school - long ago admittedly, but it was clearly helpful in identifying differences between eastern and western portraiture. It was, however, far less useful at helping me identify artifacts from Central Africa and Mesoamerica.

I used no external resources since that would defeat the purpose of this.

Given that, I placed in the 64th percentile based on a couple of really accurate matches (renaissance sculpture, fnar) and a lot that weren't terribly wrong.

Hmm. Hmmm. Hmm. HMMM. Hmm.

Yep! I know some of these words.

Or perhaps a slop flag on submissions that gets added once enough readers have flagged it as such. I'd love that feature.

So... not a new subatomic particle discovery then.

I have to ask why someone would choose this over ansible, ssh, and a proper monitoring and metrics stack.

Something like this allows unconstrained config drift with no audit trail.
