risyachka··on Goldman Sachs Is Pulling Claude Code from Its Bankers and Traders
The issue is probably an overwhelming amount of slop like PoCs, presentations on every topic, claude artifacts with 1000 pages instead if 10 liner in the chat.

All this is just counter productive and drowns everyone is slop.

risyachka··on Cisco gives engineer unlimited AI tokens to rewrite legacy code
Yup. And its always garbage as result
risyachka··on The $6.3B Binance hack was pulled off in just 20 minutes
They have much more than 6b lying around. They are a money printer .
risyachka··on 'Elite North Korean hackers' blamed for $6.3B Binance hack
>> Those persons (a judge, the police, even if robots by then) are the oracle.

they are not. The oracle is always a computer. It is a record in gov db that says you own something.

Judge and the police are the enforcers.

risyachka··on Type Server Protocol
I will take Python over typescript every second of every day. TypeScript is just so unreadable compared to Python.
risyachka··on GPT-6.1 Terra
Bet on purpose

“Test them all”

risyachka··on The obscure trust looming over Anthropic's IPO
>> PR rate dropped 95% in the first day,

sounds like a slop fest was going on, the quality will probably improve now

risyachka··on AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary
Decompiling is not same as pirating though.

In order do decompile you already need a game. If you usually buy games you'd still buy one. If you pirate games - you'd still pirate it.

So doesn't seem clear to me if there is a lot of lost revenue here?

And pirates don't really need AI do hack a game etc. All possible games have been on torrent trackers since forever.

Possibly ability to decompile and modify it would be a free marketing (from those who mod it and post videos) and only increase sales. Potentially what games should do is optimize builds for this so that mods can be easily created and shared - e.g. you buy a game and apply a bunch of mods created by ai or not.

The only reason I see is when it can hurt sales if some cool mod someone does can't be easily applied to original game and then you have no choice but to pirate it in order to play that mod.

risyachka··on AI is a tool and using it well takes skill
>> I've learnt more since the advent of LLMs than I did in the 10 years prior.

You read more. "Learned" is if you actually manually applied it. Otherwise its like reading fiction - illusion of productivity or brain function.

Solving sudoku would be a better exercise for your brain and more load.

risyachka··on Launch HN: Agent37 (YC F26) – Low-cost agent sandboxes for running agents
Yeah its a race to the bottom as ai can vibe code any infra now
risyachka··on AI coding agents generate more code, but not more software
I think non-senior engineers don’t realize just how much of a burden is barely reviewed ai generated code.

I’ve seen a few projects that heavily rely on ai with not very good (though senior) devs driving it - and its a mess. Not the code. The resulting product. Code is actually sound as ai is pretty good now.

All because ai does code reviews and dump decisions go into prod

risyachka··on Open-source Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word replications
Hey can't withstand even basic usage.
risyachka··on 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit
yes they can clone western companies.

very valuable, very high tech.

for nginx/intelij - you can find a few good examples in any country on earth.

does not make the country good in tech.

risyachka··on 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit
>> Russia used to be quite advanced in information technology

it really never was. apart from a few one-off examples they have nothing if interest and quality.

risyachka··on I would like the value of my home to rise, while my property taxes fall
And I would like for housing costs to fall and become commodity.
risyachka··on We want you to build the next Git platform on Cloudflare
cloudflare has their weird proprietary stack like workers etc and they build a ton of low effort products on it.

a few years ago it was exciting to read their product launches - and to use them.

Now it feels like a wave of slop. They do whatever next thing is trending on twitter. fs for agents? sure! new git? sure! agent os? Sure!

like there is absolutely no filter. whatever pops in their mind they push it. and the results are mediocre at best.

risyachka··on Sites in ChatGPT
Based on what you described I don't really see what value you add on top of AI.

>> I can monitor my competitors and copy every feature a/b test resolution they’ve done instantly for (3$ of my budget)

yeah, everyone can.

>> I’m an early adaptor of the latest models.

latest models become default one as soon as they are released. so everyone is an early adopter now.

risyachka··on Google's first Suncatcher orbital data center test launches October 1
It needs a single use case to justify its existence. And I am pretty sure it has one. The question is will google reveal it? Probably not.

Even as some sort of failsafe compute for when some meteor hits the earth - already enough for a government to pay 10000x premium for it and it will bring in cash.

Obviously this is not intended to play in the same league as common enterprise datacenter.

risyachka··on Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats
Sorry I meant useful for people as in humanity. Not for a business that needs to automate email spam campaign.
risyachka··on Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats
>> the solution to AI's PR problem is to cure cancer

I think its much simpler than that. Anything actually useful for people would be a good solution.

Obviously image gen and code gen is not the case, as though it does increase productivity, it doesn't make anyone's life actually better. If it led to 4 day work week - sure. Otherwise it could easily be net negative.

risyachka··on Learning Programming in an Age of LLMs
>> Yes, new jobs were created, but often not for those people who lost their jobs

This is the most obvious thing so many people who claim "new jobs were created" miss.

Yeah sure, new jobs will be created. But not for 90% of those who lost them (and most likely not for the one who claims this). You either won't have time, or energy or else to learn it and compete etc. Sure a small % of people will transition, a massive amount will not.

risyachka··on GPT-6 Astra on OpenRouter
>> The truth is that the cost doesn't leave much room for error or experimentation

Yeah if you are solo developer without budget.

For any business this is nothing, the ROI is massive.

risyachka··on Claude for Commerce Agents
anthropic shows here a little demo of a raw python agent, absolutely no value add.

this is just marketing for them, they will do these kinds of posts for every possible industry.

risyachka··on AI is hitting entry-level jobs hardest, Stanford study finds
If you find a proper senior dev - it will be like 10 or more of that junior you described.

Because you can’t shortcut experience. And AI multiplies that.

I’ve seen what ai-focused good senior dev can do and it is scary.

risyachka··on Coding expertise is going to collapse from AI reliance
Maybe some day, not in the short term. I've seen output of bad developers using Fable and after that I sleep safe.

A bad or below average dev with AI will run your product and company into the ground in a matter of weeks.

risyachka··on AI has access to a vastly larger working memory than the human brain
>> ultimately out-remembering people around us

In order to remember something you need to know/learn it first.

risyachka··on Shopify replaced Redis with MySQL for inventory reservations–and it scaled
Its also not a solved one considering basically no platforms support them.
risyachka··on MAI-Cyber-1-Flash inside MDASH
Considering they can't fix their login for decades, I am with you on this one
risyachka··on Scriptc by Vercel: TypeScript-to-Native compiler, no JavaScript engine in binary
>> that doesn't mean much. it has a lot of tests

tests don't mean much if you are not an expert on the subject

risyachka··on Scriptc by Vercel: TypeScript-to-Native compiler, no JavaScript engine in binary
From contributions tab, it looks like 99% was vibe-coded by 1 person, and it does not look like they have any compilers background.
