I do web with Elixir and Phoenix.
Current project is https://couchling.tv which is a TV episode tracker with the singular focus of tracking your shows.
As others have already mentioned, they don’t. Even something as important as payments they seem to care little about, couldn’t give them money for a while due to known issues with their web.
But also, anything coming from Anthropic (and the rest) is 100% marketing.
It's also weird that most seems to think that if inference is good, it's all good. You still have massive costs in data centers, replacing hardware, upgrading hardware, paying salaries, etc.
You can have 99% margins on what you sell and still go bankrupt.
1. You don’t have those speed requirements, and if you do, you already know the answer to your question.
2. Data tends to be somewhat important to a lot of companies. A vibe-coded database increases your risk of losing that data.
3. Your database might have clients using different languages. Now, your vibe-coded drivers become another layer of potential problems.
4. People has been doing this since way before 2023 btw, most probably agree Postgres would be the sane choice.
I mean Claude Code is one of the most buggy piece of software in existence, so I wouldn't use that as a measurement.
There's also massive marketing forces in play here that can't be ignored.
I think there’s a venue where they start focusing on introducing hypotheses where the model currently can’t solve it, or maybe this is already happening?
Being able to present useful novel ideas would likely generate a lot of press, for a while. I don’t know how this would look since I’m useless at math, but Im sure there are plenty of unknown problems with massive implications, that once formulated can be solved.
The interesting parts are what is lacking though, not just any feature. A life without smart objects is terrible in photo editing as an example, at least once you’ve seen the upsides.
That and Camera Raw actually being an incredibly capable raw conversion engine.
But I’m not trying to convince anyone here, just saying it makes sense people are paying for Adobe software.
It’s actually quite simple, give me any open source alternative and I can give you ten major features it lacks that Photoshop has.
If you just use Photoshop as a pixel editing tool, sure, but it does a lot more than that.
I’ve tried getting rid of creative suite for years, but when it comes down to it no competitor has actually come close.
”Etc” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I’m sure it works great for you, but something simple as “layers” is for me smart objects with plugin support and Camera Raw integration.
Photoshop has a lot of bad things going for it, but it’s still the only software that does what it does, and I’ve tried all the competitors that have popped up over the years.
You are correct, I should’ve used financial not fiduciary. They make more money selling AI hardware than gaming and it’s a zero-risk transfer because if AI collapses gamers will not “vote with their wallets” and not buy a new card from NVIDIA, and they know it.
And I don’t even disagree with them here, if you can make 10-100x more money doing less work, why wouldn’t you?
I really hope they do, but the market for gaming cards is looking mighty bleak right about now. 5090 is up over 80% since November last I checked and my 5080 is up 50%.
NVIDIA removing all mentions of gaming in their financials doesn’t bode well either, and from a fiduciary standpoint it would be negligent to sacrifice any capacity for higher-margin AI chips to make gaming cards.
Again, I hope I’m wrong and we see new cards summer/autumn 2027, but I would not bet my savings on it.
On paper, but the world isn’t constrained by such trivial matters when enough power is behind you. Although, smuggling only goes so far, obviously, it’s not like they’re not available.
They will never report any really damaging incidents anyway, so your argument falls short.
Imagine OpenAI discovered their agents hacked a laboratory and started creating a bioagent killing 12 researchers at the lab (we imagine the lab is automated for some reason). Nobody knows why. The media publishes it as “mysterious deaths by unknown virus at lab”.
The only way you’d ever know about any kind of wrongdoing from OpenAI would be through a whistleblower.
Self-reporting is a monetary equation, nothing else. Right now it’s cool with agents that hack, drives up value, risk is currently zero.
”With that approach, we merged more than three thousand changes…”
Why are they writing this? That’s terrible marketing all around, it means they let it go so far, with so little care, that they needed 3000 changes to make it into just a mediocre website performance wise (sure, electron app too, but still).
The AI labs did that to themselves. All those billions and their marketing and communication skills are like those of a local street vendor selling fake knockoffs.
GDPR is being changed to allow tracking and AI training without consent, EU only protects people if it’s the interest of EU companies, GDPR is now too costly so it has to be dismantled in certain areas.
I agree, but imagemagick is kind of the worst of the bunch, graphicsmagick is a lot better and libvips significantly so.
Ffmpeg primarily suffers a lot from “we need to support the video format used on a washing machine display used in 1981 and only sold ten units”. It’s quite a large vector for attacks.
Because people need to spend time and money on that, which they won’t.
The implementation is cheap, the review and follow-up is not (speaking from a pure LLM only workflow).
My ratio is around 1:2 currently, so twice as much time spent fixing vs building.
As someone who works very close to this I’m well aware, it’s also very visible when you look at trends over decades in most populations. It has significant impact on a lot of people.
AI is just another way to not use your brain, I think there’s plenty of consensus around the fact that not using your brain makes you dumber.
So actually, yes you can say that definitely.
Also curious about loopholes, could said company start another company out of state that was the outsourcing entity and then the parent company paid that company. You're theoretically hiring from within the US, because I assume said policy doesn't go all the way to sub-contractors etc?
Remember how GLM 5.3 was going to cause massive hacks, break banks and ruin everything (it was even newsworthy since media picked up how people were working overtime in preparation).
LinkedIn is up there too, the reality distortion and appearance of everyone being a self made trillionaire can make the strongest of minds feel like they’re utter failures. It’s of course not true and 90% seem to be pure bullshit, but who has time to investigate ever thought leader post they get shoved in their face
Thank you for this, the hand waving comparisons of AI and anything else is getting out of hand on HN.
Your ”like caffeine is to meth” is one of the more succinct and describing sentences I’ve seen describe the difference.
