mupuff1234··on Professional software developers don't vibe, they control
For me it's the opposite, I'm wasting less energy over debugging silly bugs and fighting/figuring out some annoying config.

But it does feel less fulfilling I suppose.

mupuff1234··on America's economy looks set to accelerate
Any good hedges against a possible downfall of USD?
mupuff1234··on USD share as global reserve currency drops to lowest since 1994
Russia is a joke, India is somewhat irrelevant and doesn't seem like that will change soon, China is a different story, although they also have their share of demographic and economic issues.

And Putin and Xi are 73 & 72, and I doubt they will give up power as long as they're living which may result in significant turnmoil for both countries.

> US to being a simple country instead of the has-been empire it currently is.

The US isn't going anywhere for now, although it is trending in the wrong direction, but it's not yet a lost cause, not to mention that its still basically a fortress with endless natural resources and relatively good climate.

And then you also have the AI race which might be a dud or might be a winner takes all scenario. So gonna be an interesting next decade.

mupuff1234··on Nvidia to buy assets from Groq for $20B cash
If I had to guess I'd say investors get their returns but non exec employees mostly get screwed.

mupuff1234··on MIT Professor Is Fatally Shot in His Home
A few days ago one of the top HN posts was a antisemitic conspiracy cesspool so I'm afraid we're long past that point.
mupuff1234··on Europeans' health data sold to US firm run by ex-Israeli spies
Because that's my comment and it's dead for no reason.

So please address the content now.

mupuff1234··on Europeans' health data sold to US firm run by ex-Israeli spies
Is a CEO of a company serving in the military 40 years ago relevant?
mupuff1234··on Europeans' health data sold to US firm run by ex-Israeli spies
Ah yes, because every secret foreign intelligence asset goes straight to the press to brag.

Its complete normal behavior that people hire people they know, just look at hiring practices across all tech companies. As it is a completely normal behavior for a CEO to brag about their company.

Is Google an Indian intelligence asset because it's run by an Indian CEO and has quite a few Indian execs? How about Microsoft?

mupuff1234··on Google Titans architecture, helping AI have long-term memory
> it's been 11 months

Is that supposed to be a long time? Seems fair that companies don't rush to open up their models.

mupuff1234··on TPUs vs. GPUs and why Google is positioned to win AI race in the long term
That's actually one of the reasons why Google might win.

Nvidia is tied down to support previous and existing customers while Google can still easily shift things around without needing to worry too much about external dependencies.

mupuff1234··on Nano Banana Pro
I doubt majority of the public knows what "nano banana" or even "Gemini" means, they probably just call it "Google AI".

And I'm willing to bet eventually Google will rename Gemini to be something like Google AI or roll it back into Google assistant.

mupuff1234··on Google boss says AI investment boom has 'elements of irrationality'
Microsoft, Google, etc are printing money despite the bubble, not because.

Don't see why they would need rescuing.

mupuff1234··on Gemini 3
Could also just be rollout issues.
mupuff1234··on Gemini 3
I assume the model is just more expensive to run.
mupuff1234··on Iran begins cloud seeding operations as drought bites
In the Iran-israel conflict it's pretty clear cut who started the rhetoric of annihilating the other side first (spoiler, it was Iran)

Anyway, I cant comprehend why anyone would try to defend the actions of the Iranian regime, it's just a horrible regime.

mupuff1234··on Collaboration sucks
So a design doc?
mupuff1234··on Leaving Meta and PyTorch
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45847465

Seems relevant.

mupuff1234··on The Programmer Identity Crisis
But it's not that people don't grasp the concept of merge conflicts, it's just that the UX of git is bad.
mupuff1234··on The Programmer Identity Crisis
Have you considered that the problem is with Git and not the users?
mupuff1234··on US car repossessions surge as more Americans default on auto loans
Maybe now is finally the time to short CVNA.
mupuff1234··on Effective context engineering for AI agents
Idk if trade secrets really exist in a world where engineers at every level hop between the same x companies every other Monday.
mupuff1234··on Anti-aging breakthrough: Stem cells reverse signs of aging in monkeys
To make room for a new generation of POSs?
mupuff1234··on How Israeli actions caused famine in Gaza, visualized
Hamas and Israel only had ceasefire deals from what I recall, not an actual peace deal.
mupuff1234··on How Israeli actions caused famine in Gaza, visualized
Kinda silly logic, access to calories doesn't mean someone has to be obese.

Not saying that the claim is true, just that your logic is faulty.

mupuff1234··on How Israeli actions caused famine in Gaza, visualized
The level of blockade now is on a whole other level.

Not to mention that the blockade was enforced by Egypt as well.

mupuff1234··on Improved Gemini 2.5 Flash and Flash-Lite
> Google Workspace at my job, so Gemini is baked in.

I think the "baked in" Gemini models are different, try using Gemini through the actual Gemini site.

mupuff1234··on Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its tech in mass surveillance of Palestinians
You do realize all nations are man made inventions, right?
mupuff1234··on Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its tech in mass surveillance of Palestinians
How do you think most countries or borders were formed? It's almost all wars and displacement.
mupuff1234··on A shift in developer culture is impacting innovation and creativity
I think it's more the MBA-fication of the industry. There's no time for exploring and tinkering, it's all just chasing after the next ticket/okr.
