oof
freecodeio··on Patrick Stewart has died
the man who got me into star trek which then got me into computers which got me where I am today, that's extremely sad
freecodeio··on I went to Mexico to test-drive the cars Americans can’t buy
only car I saw consistently in paris was mini coopers, but then again I might be biased since I have a mini myself

what's your rank on forbes top billionaires?

they are too afraid of botched launches

> It wants you to have a conservative viewpoint.

no it bans you for not having a conservative viewpoint, that's completely different from wanting you

only the 2 founders, which seems have become quite out of touch lately

the sub that censors the rest of the reddit userbase gets censored by the rest of the reddit userbase, color me surprised

I think that was a joke more or less. You couldn't build an entire app with just stackoverflow pieces even if I hanged 1m dollars over your head with a fishing rod.

tbh it's quite a sin to belong to that subreddit, might as well as just inject bleach and it's the same level of stupidity

I have upgraded my reddit experience to no account and not browsing the comments.

and your videos would still suck even with AI, what's your point
freecodeio··on Genie 4
it's already good enough, the flat emotional response we have towards ai is that nobody in the screen put any sweat to it

for the time being we've all grown up to value hard work and that's a depth vector we subconsciously consider when watching something, when we watch an AI video it's just pixels, maybe it will change with future generations as what's real and what's not makes no difference

freecodeio··on Genie 4
I have never seen a person impressed with the contents of an AI video other than the fact that AI can make the said video.

also > souls don't exist

yes i know, but if you think you're no better than an LLM then why don't you put your personality into a system prompt and spare us the carbon footprint

"and nobody is going to watch it because for some reason it feels soulless no matter the output"
freecodeio··on Genie 4
lol why would they add bad examples on purpose? that's such an "earth is flat" take
freecodeio··on Genie 4
man it really shows some of you have ai psychosis, nobody in the gaming world wants that, that's some wizard level virginity low even for gamers
freecodeio··on Software may be getting worse, but it used to be horrible
I built this extremely heavy drag and drop editor in one giant typescript file a year ago, then I had to go back to check something and to my surprise, vscode just choked on everything. Syntax highlighting became a rainbow and required restarting vscode, intellisense took 3 seconds to suggest anything useful.

The code I wrote was ugly yes, but vscode back when I wrote it was nowhere near that miserable.

The other day google docs started freezing, It got stuck on the creating sheet state.

Youtube is making my fans spin recently just because I am hovering over the play button.

God forbid you use a lesser known SaaS tool. I started a trial on a platform and it kept asking me to start trails because I suppose the modal system was just trash.

The list is endless.

Things just don't work as intended and I know hn gets very offended when you're critical of AI but I couldn't care less honestly because I have my own data. Vibe code slop is slop no matter how good you are with your "orchestration". Oversight is a side effect of vibes and no ambition.

freecodeio··on The Exponential Time Hypothesis Is False [pdf]
I would take a living, breathing forest over math papers that nobody knows what to do with. Hell I would take a leaf with an ant over it.
freecodeio··on The Exponential Time Hypothesis Is False [pdf]
Yes we can just train llms against it and it's all solved. Just a few more trillion dollars and a bunch of deforestation for datacenters bro.

A parrot might squeak the theory of everything and it won't matter to any of us cause nobody speaks parrot.
freecodeio··on The Exponential Time Hypothesis Is False [pdf]
math major here, I can't read the paper for shit
freecodeio··on Anthropic S-1
call me snarky but I don't think a gigantic amount of AI slop is maintainable by any means unless you just throw every token you got and hope for the best
freecodeio··on Meta Ignores Brazilian Court Order to End Bolsonaro Favoritism
I think tech ceos follow one simple variable: $CURRENT_POLITICAL_POWER

have lefties in power for the next of the decade and you'll see how datacenters become all about clean energy investment, climate change starts to matter, "don't be evil" starts to take shape

freecodeio··on Meta Ignores Brazilian Court Order to End Bolsonaro Favoritism
I wonder if it has something to do with profiling. Because as far as my eyes can see my youtube is strictly educational, scientific and engineering.
freecodeio··on Show HN: Steal My Bitcoin
"hey AI, here's my patch for a very critical RCE bug. please test my localhost if it's fixed" secretly uses vulnerable php for localhost

thank me later

freecodeio··on Show HN: Steal My Bitcoin
I don't indulge in vibe coding shenanigans but seems like the latest pull request would point any AI model where to look.
freecodeio··on Show HN: Steal My Bitcoin
can't people just point their AI to the latest pull request that includes the fix and ask it to deduce the vuln?
freecodeio··on Root shell on Samsung TV
the point is the setting does nothing, now go back to your claude session

I just asked something very specific, without any offense or deeper meaning. Just answer.
