mono442··on Anthropic IPO buyers see valuation as low as $1.1T
They can issue new shares. It's not like it doesn't matter at all.
mono442··on Future Maintenance of Mbed TLS
Embedded devices aren't known for security anyway. And the tls library can be written in rust for better memory safety.
mono442··on Future Maintenance of Mbed TLS
Tbh now with the ai you can generate a pretty good tls library in like a day especially if supporting only the latest tls revision is good enough.
mono442··on Renewable electricity – best buffer against gas price volatility
I don't believe that. They have always been promising that renewables will make electricity cheaper but the opposite has happened.
mono442··on Google will turn off search for schools that reject AI
Blocking ai will only cause the students to get left behind. The ai isn't going away.
mono442··on In LLM era, can software startup survive?
It's still usually cheaper to pay for software than it's to write it, maintain it and run it.
mono442··on Product Managers aren't safe either
I don't believe other jobs are going to be as impacted as software engineering. Software is unique in that regard that the results can be verified quickly and easily fixed. On the other hand nobody is going to try building a building only to check if it's structurally sound because that would be absurd.
mono442··on Building an AI-native engineering org
That's why I'm sceptical about the value of ai in software development. Much more can now be done but I don't see costumers paying more for it. The only way it can work is by laying off software engineers and saving money on their salaries.
mono442··on Fiber lasts decades, GPUs last three years: the AI boom isn't the dot-com boom [video]
Another thing to pay attention to is the margins of hardware companies like nvidia or micron. Hyperscalers are spending huge amount of money but the money mostly goes to the profits of hardware companies.
mono442··on Manufacturing the Great Replacement
The ethnic composition of countries in Europe is definitely changing do I can't see how this can be "manufactured".
mono442··on StackOverflow now gets fewer than 1000 questions a month
The current way too write software is too just ask the ai do it. StackOverflow will be soon mostly irrelevant completely.
mono442··on Alphabet Announces Third Quarter 2026 Results [pdf]
There's no guarantee it'll generate big enough returns and it's probably at jacked up prices.
mono442··on Particle-1
A terrible slopped website. They could have put a bit more effort into an actual design.
mono442··on Tell HN: I'm going on strike this November
Three years ago the ai struggled to write a single function correctly.
mono442··on Microsoft and others tell crypto platform not to tokenize their stocks
it's for people who live in countries with capital controls and don't have access to normal securities accounts
mono442··on Apple introduces the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6
They have huge margins and can absorb price increases of some of the components.
mono442··on I will no longer upload to NEW
There's no point volunteering free time just to deal with slop.
mono442··on I still teach OpenGL ES 3.0
These low level details have become unimportant since the ai can generate and debug them well imo.
mono442··on I don't understand quantum physics (2018)
it doesn't if you assume superdeterminism
mono442··on Upcoming critical PHP security release (CVE-2026-109618 / -109619)
it doesn't have to be done all at once
mono442··on Security advisory: Critical remote code execution vulnerabilities, update now
the php team should consider leveraging ai to rewrite the interpreter in rust like bun did recently
mono442··on Does Ruby on Rails still make sense?
even dhh basically admitted that it was obsolete recently
mono442··on Everything is going wrong for Muhammad bin Salman
The immigrants were let in Europe because politicians wanted to let them in.
mono442··on Everything is going wrong for Muhammad bin Salman
These investments can be easily taxed or regulated so they don't generate any real profit once the oil countries are irrelevant.
mono442··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
How bad the other options are so that people are compelled to vote for them?
mono442··on How employment is changing at Anthropic
A counterexample that I can think of is agriculture. In the past almost everybody worked in it, now there are barely any farmers (relative to the overall population) producing much more food than before.
mono442··on How employment is changing at Anthropic
I think you're right in your comparison and that's way we'll soon see mass layoffs of software engineers. Software can now be produced with less people than before but I don't think there's market for more software.
mono442··on [dead]
do people really write '--' if they want to write an em dash or has the comment been just generated by an ai?
mono442··on Last rites for Gentoo's Chromium package
ai can work test the options and fix the builds
mono442··on Last rites for Gentoo's Chromium package
why don't they leverage ai for maintaining packages?
