vips7Lon No signs of AI payoff outside the tech sector

We need something. We need some way to force people to act responsibly. The amount of yeeting hundreds of thousands of lines of code without proper review or testing should have consequences.

vips7Lon No signs of AI payoff outside the tech sector

Software has desperately needed regulation and licensing for years.

vips7Lon No signs of AI payoff outside the tech sector

It’s irresponsible.

vips7Lon TornadoVM 7 Enables GPU-Native Workloads from Java Applications

Why GraalVM specifically? Is it something special with the Graal JIT?

vips7Lon Roku developer repositories moved from GitHub to GitLab

My friend group also moved to self hosted forgejo. Couldn’t be happier and then I don’t have LLMs training on my code.

vips7Lon Crystal 1.22

I don't know. LLMs second pair of eyes frequently make things up and invent crises.

vips7Lon Crystal 1.22

My boss doesn't care because I hit our deadlines, still ship as fast as my peers, and with a higher quality level.

vips7Lon Crystal 1.22

You can still write code. I do it every day, even for work.

vips7Lon Security Disclosure

Take more days off. Today was my first day back after 2.5 weeks.

vips7Lon Oregon lawmakers approve money to buy an iconic waterfall listed on Redfin

What? This is absolute lunacy, I hope its sarcasm. It rains a decent amount but not all the time, summer in Oregon is absolutely beautiful and there's plenty of time to visit the waterfalls.

vips7Lon Tsrs: A Port of TypeScript to Rust

There are so many more amazing options between Rust and JS/python.

vips7Lon C# now beats Rust on WASM size

It needs better error handling.

vips7Lon Tsrs: A Port of TypeScript to Rust

Faster ™ doesn’t matter

vips7Lon Tsrs: A Port of TypeScript to Rust

You’re a waste of time.

vips7Lon Ask HN: How to deal with shipping AI-written code you don't understand?

You don’t? You have a responsibility to understand it. If you don’t. You rewrite it until you do.

vips7Lon Java sealed classes and exhaustive pattern matching

No it doesn’t. You can’t even read a file without Java.

vips7Lon Java sealed classes and exhaustive pattern matching

I love Kotlin and prefer to write it over Java nowadays but Kotlin has the same tristate nullability. It has nullable, non-nullable, and platform types when interacting with types from JS or Java.

vips7Lon Someone behind the software

There’s still inherent value in people that can write code better and make architecture better than LLMs; even if you can’t.

vips7Lon I know why the mathematicians weep

It’s very Asimov-esque. The Spacers who adopted robots for everything eventually stopped interacting with each other except over video calls.

vips7Lon 11 year old unsoundness bugs found in Rust borrow checker

Just wait until someone relies on that bug too.

vips7Lon AI is a tool and using it well takes skill

Stealing is immoral. Sad what this forum has become.

vips7Lon Doory – Open-Source Canva

Sad little ai driver.

Jokes on you. No one is reading anything anymore.

vips7Lon Using AI for just 10 minutes erodes your ability to persist at hard things

I might put more value in a scientific study than your experience personally.

vips7Lon The tilde in your PATH may not be your HOME

A different shell??? Nushell, fish, powershell, etc.

vips7Lon The tilde in your PATH may not be your HOME

Or just stop using bash. It’s a terrible language to write and has tons of footguns.

vips7Lon Yes, and

Shouldn’t that be caught at review time? Or by the sad little ai driver that submits the pr? ;)

vips7Lon Yes, and

It’s nice to see some sanity in an insane world.

vips7Lon Yes, and

Of course. LLMs only produce the average. Most of the time if you think you need to mock you should probably just do the real thing. It’s mostly an antipattern.

vips7Lon Yes, and

I seem to be continuing to get paid. What’s your next excuse about why you’re sacrificing quality?
