v-yanakiev··on Were software engineers blue-collar workers all along?
Is it a more useful one, especially in the context of modern America, where an enormous amount of workers are also capital owners through their 401(k)s?

It's kind of interesting that some of the people below are identifying "the CEO" as a capital owner, when in fact, all of his actions which are of relevance to the rest of the workers, are as a worker - as an employee of the enterprise he makes hiring/firing decisions, etc. He may well have acquired his position by virtue of holding a lot of stock and thereby influencing the board of directors, but this is not necessary, and there are a lot of big companies where it's not the case.

Marxists had to come up with "labor aristocracy" as a concept relatively quickly, for what it's worth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_aristocracy

v-yanakiev··on Rust+Box2D Browser Physics Sandbox with Multiplayer
I've made a browser videogame (physics simulator). The idea is that you draw machines and you destroy targets with them. It's still a prototype-level project, but I've put a lot of time into it, and it has both single-player and multi-player. I'd be happy to hear if it's interesting and any ideas about developing it further.

v-yanakiev··on Xcode Is the Worst Piece of Professional Software I Have Ever Used
The MS dotnet debugger is not open-source - you can legally use it only with VS and VS Code (you could always give Samsung's open-source debugger a try, but it has certain limitations: https://github.com/Samsung/netcoredbg/issues/194#issuecommen...)
v-yanakiev··on Show HN: One prompt generates an app with its own database
Doesn't seem to work on mobile (Safari).
v-yanakiev··on AWS CEO says using AI to replace junior staff is 'Dumbest thing I've ever heard'
From what I’ve read, this is a consequence of applicants themselves concentrating on AI, which preceded their AI-filled batches. YC still has a very low acceptance rate, btw.
v-yanakiev··on Ask HN: Any interest in a 5x cheaper alternative to Fly.io for containers?
EC2 takes too long to start up https://www.martysweet.co.uk/ec2-launch-times/

Compare this to the <1s starts you can get with Firecracker VMs (used in their own Lambda, and also on Fly.io).

v-yanakiev··on Ask HN: AI-Filtering Browser Extension?
Interesting stuff. Can you link to the extension / the source code?
v-yanakiev··on Making o1, o3, and Sonnet 3.7 hallucinate for everyone
https://syntix.pro automatically executes and verifies the code it generates. Disclaimer: I made it.
v-yanakiev··on Vanguard's average fee is now 0.07% after biggest-ever cut
For plausible definitions of "average investor" in this context, it's arithmetically impossible: https://web.stanford.edu/~wfsharpe/art/active/active.htm
