jeanpah··on Ask HN: What is your backup plan when AI companies rug pull their prices?
Celebrate!, because finally web can rest of all those "end of the world" and "end of SW/programming" statements made every week.
jeanpah··on Please Let the Internet Die. It's Time to Start Over
I'm having trouble envisioning a positive future, maybe the web will rot but if we don't make something better of that corpse someone with bad intentions will.

An we aren't making much to better the web either. We really need new ideas before it's too late and the web just surrenders to be net negative for the people or just boring.

jeanpah··on Ask HN: Where do you see software engineering careers heading?
In Latin america we have a role in most of the business of the size to allow it: "the systems guy", "the it guy", "the webmaster" it's he guy capable of fixing everything and make everything work, that guy has been coding apps for it's workmates from the start, I guess he will still be doing that with bigger platforms.

From the other side, the projects handled for the pure SW roles will be massive, very complex and require some sort of domain knowledge apart from pure software engineering.

jeanpah··on AI Bubble Burst
Ops, I got the news today, thanks for the heads up
jeanpah··on Ask HN: I Need Advice
TuxedoBuddy, my pal, find any job that makes you go out, and while doing that job try to think how to make sense of life outside of work.
jeanpah··on Ask HN: Is your leadership pushing you to skip dev review?
Yes, not only management but the customer too, the promise of speed has creept in their minds too. Errors are always at my expense and must be corrected faster, even if it's a provider mistake
jeanpah··on AI Bubble Burst
Why this things always happen a friday? Like it's planned or something.
jeanpah··on Ask HN: Why aren't maintainers worried about the Copyright status of LLM output?
I'm having the same doubt, it really sounds like nobody cares anymore. maybe we are witnessing the dead of the copyright for software? I mean, it doesn't have even sense if you can just ask an agent to reimplement something with slight variations or even a totally different language.
jeanpah··on Anthropic S-1
Thanks! These revisors are expected to Review this form soon before ipo ? Or this is already reviewed?
jeanpah··on Anthropic S-1
What happens if You lie in this form ? It there is líes how we can detect them? Is there a wait or someone from goverment audits this ?
jeanpah··on The foolishness of "natural language programming" (1978)
This article shows every now and then, and it's a must read. Indeed the natural language programming requires massive clusters of gpus just to make a half baked crud app
jeanpah··on Several Linux kernel vulnerabilities accidentally posted to public mailing list
Thanks man, You said it perfectly, The software can be prefect,but us as humans can't, and that will lead to problems with the software.

You could just implement a virus perfectly and the wrong bussines process.

jeanpah··on Several Linux kernel vulnerabilities accidentally posted to public mailing list
I remember those languages were used to verify an implementation, in space rockets code (uni teacher said). But maybe there is a way to build something perfect instead of veryfying the correct implentation?
jeanpah··on Several Linux kernel vulnerabilities accidentally posted to public mailing list
The theorem can be used un this way? Wasn't only for natural numbers? You argument seems solid if thats how the theorem works. Maybe there is a way not to find Bugs but to build things perfectly from the start.
jeanpah··on Several Linux kernel vulnerabilities accidentally posted to public mailing list
I remember languages like Casl and vdm, But they where harder to implement and very complex, You mean something like those languages ?
jeanpah··on Several Linux kernel vulnerabilities accidentally posted to public mailing list
One can dream
jeanpah··on Several Linux kernel vulnerabilities accidentally posted to public mailing list
Do You guys think that with ai we Will achieve something like a bug free os distro or programming language? Like some sort of perfection?
jeanpah··on Facebook Pages require paid subscription to post more than two links per month
Yeah, facebook it's not dead, it's just that, at least in My circle or city, the publications are never personal: it's for bussines (to find a new apartment o look to the marketplace for something You need) but no more personal posts. also the groups started to get beggars and requests for money and donations, and nobody trusts the groups or the profiles for an in person meeting. Maybe this is because i'm in a third world country ajajaja

Its a ghostown, nothing more that our digital footpritn from we were young and wild.
jeanpah··on Ask HN: How to deal with shipping AI-written code you don't understand?
You hit deploy and hope for the best, if it goes bad You just prompt the model again....

Just kidding, it's de same as with any other Open source plataform You install from their repo. It will be hard at the start but then You Will be very aware where it starts to fail and how to fix it.

jeanpah··on Japanese people still aren't having sex. And nobody knows why
In real life there are social and legal implications for relationships: if something goes wrong You could be in a nightmare divorce or simply interpreting things wrong with somebody can cause problems in your life. In the modern world every error pays expesively.

But in the digital world You just swap apps, nobody judges, and You alway get dopamine.

jeanpah··on The Emperor Pelican Has No Clothes
I think this behaviour Will kill the leftovers of innovation we still have. If if happens with the pelican, it Will happen to everything else.
jeanpah··on ASML's strong orders ease fears AI spending boom is running out of steam
Agree, and orders dont mean liquidity, billing, revenue or profits. If it blows nothing of that Will happen.
jeanpah··on AI coding agents generate more code, but not more software
Exactly, i have been involved in hardware projects and every word You said was my exact experiece. The prototype in theory is perfect, in practice everything just explodes.

In software, instead, i find really dificult to show a customer a vive coded app and explain to then that it's only a step. It seems like they only understand the visual part of the process.

jeanpah··on Thinking will become a hobby
It Will be like that movie zardos where everyone just keep looking at the sky
jeanpah··on AI coding agents generate more code, but not more software
Has someone presented an alternative to code Review , i mean, instead of just not doing it? Formal verification sounds expensive, asking an llm to Review another llm otput does not seem bulletproof. Is there another approach out there ? Can it exist? I've been thinking on this latelly but i can't find a solution
jeanpah··on AI coding agents generate more code, but not more software
I agree too, the problem arrives later when the prototype must scale
jeanpah··on Ask HN: What do you run on a $5 VPS that's worth keeping online 24/7?
I ran several customers webpages, blogs, Even bussines aplications, still do, Sqlite is awesome.
jeanpah··on The Slow Formation of Durable Software
I don't think this is possible in this day and age, everyone expects the development to be instant.
jeanpah··on Meta’s Muse is an adorable privacy and security dumpster fire
Again? This seems very intentional at this point
