hollowturtle··on Redesigning source control at Anthropic
> and they deserve a lot of props for caring about safety

At this point I believe they NEVER cared about safety. The CEO doomerism and the whole "slow down the development of AI" far cry is another marketing strategy based off fear

hollowturtle··on Redesigning source control at Anthropic
Agree but every statement I now read from Anthropic just sounds like marketing bs to me. When they say 20x less and 4x faster they sound like Apple with no real data comparison or any detail at all

AI performance is thus extremely jagged: astounding in some directions, while inadequate in others. This is true both within mathematics, and more broadly.

worth remembering before going all in to doomerism

Can't wait to just use the hand made Jai and laugh at everything else built with AI :)

There's Asahi Linux, why arent they doing it already? Imo the end result is not great and it's very hard to maintain. Like Asahi has already demonstrated

I think they're not reversing the way you may think(and they're doing a very bad job, if you try any of these apps they collapse very soon for basic workflow things) but rather copying the behaviour by looking at input and output. A clean-room design is called iirc

why not just stream html?

hollowturtle··on Clean room implementation of Adobe products
> I downloaded .2 a day ago and none of the preferences worked, .3 just now fixed more than half

yeah pretty much a joke, you just shifted down the quality bar

hollowturtle··on Clean room implementation of Adobe products
Uhm struck a nerve eh?
hollowturtle··on Clean room implementation of Adobe products
That just tells you how much care they put on this stuff, which is the same amount of care you will find on vibe coded stuff

New thing that sooner or later will nuclearize your work. This is disposable software and any disposable software doesn’t carry any accountability regarding your work

> one-shotting complex software like this

You mean one shotting slop that barely works and lacks mature software stability with decades of fixes/features and improvements? No serious professional would ever use something like that. Like I’m the first to join the party if there is any hate to put on Adobe, but their closed source platform isn’t going anywhere. Only a paradigma shift could

Unpopular opinion: the best api ever created

hollowturtle··on Why don't more developers “use the platform”?
> If you search for “sticky positioning” on npm, there’s no package that says “just use CSS position: sticky, you dolt.”

Sure you use sticky till your component gets embedded inside a relative positioned container that you have no idea of where it is and why, and in complex codebases hardly you would rewrite the code for that container in order to not create regression. You then go with "use the platform" but javascript and you try using that horrible intersection observer api with an hack to make elements sticky, except it breaks immediately after on a corner case. You then reach out for a mature library.

Fuck off the platform i've been suffering for decades at this point fighting half complete apis and non well documented behaviour(no i wont read the humongous spec).

Everytime I used the platform(even recently with dialog) you almost immediately hit all the limitation.

The sooner we understand the platform abadoned us(and I also have a thinfoil hat theory about that) the soon we can have an api for drawing the heck we want(please dont mention canvas 2d) and an api for accesibility

> They expanded into too many domains and spread themselves too thin and that doesn't give me confidence.

That's because imo there is no way to grow this bigger with a search service. Same for open source browsers, just look at Firefox instead of focusing on bugzilla and push for new web apis, they're trying very hard everything else than can be monetized

hollowturtle··on Every SaaS business will become a harness around a model
Holy moly every UI interaction on the cart is getting half a second to more than a second -.-'. Selecting a radio option freezes the ui for 0.5s. This is more than a vibe coded app
hollowturtle··on Every SaaS business will become a harness around a model
I opened https://marketplace.openship.org and tried the "find me a t shirt" example prompt, added one to cart, i clicked once and it was not working, so i clicked a second time and it added two of them, so i realized every interaction was super slow. Congratulations for your slop automated platform, and good luck having customers

Would you share who you're working for? I'm looking for a switch to web game development, I already have some experience with it but I did lost all the hope that the web was still the platform where to play some games

I really wish that will never happen. For now it produces crappy clones of existing games

hollowturtle··on Ask HN: Is anybody producing good code with coding agents?
> Maybe try it out with an open mind ?

I know everything about Omarchy and latest vibe coded version just sucks like many’s have underlined already. I’m open minded to the point that I’d pay to look at your work. It’s always who can’t break the contract that we should trust, no one working in the open, and in the meanwhile software sucks more and more

Sure it’s always like that

Who ever wrote this it seems it never built any serious software. Software factories don’t exist and you will put yourself in a corner in a dangerous position
