Yeah, this is what I don't get. People have the right to peacefully protest (and they should). However, once you actively get in the way of official federal policing business, you are no longer a peaceful protester. Interjecting yourself into already stressful situation will only make things worse for you.
To me, the media is/are nothing more than drug sellers at this point. They have their weapon "of truth" sold to the very people you listed above. I do my absolute best to not consume any media because I know it is twisted and often wrong (eg. AI generated content). The best I can do is simply not participate in their war. Reddit, TikTok, X, etc are definitely supplying heavy drugs to anyone who wants to be hooked.
At some point, we definitely need a cooling-off period where people from both sides refrain from inciting anger from the masses.
I wonder if this is really true or just an off-the-cuff comment (no disrespect). I have worked for a number of major tech companies and have never seen this in practice. Some managers were older, some were younger, some the same age. In most/all cases, people were hired based on their technical skills not because they fell into some magical age gap.
Agreed. From my experience, Claude is the top-level coder, Gemini is the architect, and Codex is really good at finding bugs and logic errors. In fact, Codex seems to perform better deep analysis than the other two.
I never trust the opinion of a single LLM model anymore - especially for more complex projects. I have seen Claude guarantee something is correct and then immediately apologize when I feed a critical review by Codex or Gemini. And, many times, the issues are not minor but are significant critical oversights by Claude.
My habit now: always get a 2nd or 3rd opinion before assuming one LLM is correct.
But as a heart surgeon, why would you ever consider using a spoon for the job? AI/LLMs are just a tool. Your professional experience should tell you if it is the right tool. This is where industry experience comes in.
I wonder how many OSS projects are using AI to actively squash bugs so their projects are more rock-solid than before.
Also, seems to me if your project underwent a full AI standardized code-quality check (using 2 or 3 AI models), it would be considered the "standard" from which other projects could use. For example, if you needed a particular piece of code for your own project, the AI tooling could suggest leveraging an existing gold-standard project.
Wow, thanks for this! I normally don't login to HN and comment anymore due to all the reddit-style comments - especially the constant hate for the US and the President. Thanks for giving me another outlet to review tech-related stuff.
Why do you need to know how much they are paid and their net worth? What difference does it make to you? Public official pay is already available online. A quick google search will tell you how much congress people get paid, and the DoD pay scale is available online as well.
I have a different point of view. Claude code is extremely good at creating and maintaining solid, everyday code including Ansible playbooks (used in production), creating custom dev/ops scripts for managing servers (again, used in production), creating Grafana dashboards (again, production), comparing database performance between nodes, etc. Just because a person did not hand-write this code does not make it any less production ready. In fact, Claude reviewed our current Ansible code base and already highlighted a few errors (the files written by hand). Plus, we get the benefit of having Claude write and execute test plans for each version we create. Well worth the $100/mo we pay.
And to your note that real production code is not necessarily a high bar, what is "real production code"? Does it need to be 10,000 lines of complex C/rust code spread across a vast directory structure that requires human-level thinking to be production ready? What about smaller code bases that do one thing really well?
Honestly, I think many coders here on HN dismiss the smaller, more focused projects when in reality they are equally important as the large, "real" production projects. Are these considered non-production because the code was not written by hand?
If the cost of the raw materials and worker were less than the price tag at the store, sure, I would probably opt to make my own clothes. They would fit me perfectly, and I can get the right shade of blue instead of bluish.
In the case of AI, Claude costs $100 or $200/mo for really good coding tasks. This is much less expensive than hiring someone to do the same thing for me.
Interesting, but isn't the real issue here how external systems can/will update their output at random? Given you are probably a domain expert in this situation, you can easily solve the issue based on past experience. But, what if a junior person encountered these errors? Do you think they have enough background to solve these issues faster than an AI tool?
Perhaps, but I already have a CLAUDE.md file for the general coding session. Unique items I stumble upon each day probably should go into another file that can be dynamically updated. Maybe I should create a /slash command for this?
Edit: Shortly after posting this, I asked Claude the same type of question (namely how to persist pieces of data between each coaching session). I just learned about Claude's Memory System - the ability to store these pieces of data between coding sessions. I learn something new every day!
For me, too many compactions throughout the day eventually lead to a decline in Claude's thinking ability. And, during that time, I have given it so much context to help drive the coding interaction. Thus, restarting Claude requires me to remember the small bits of "nuggets" we discovered during the last session so I find myself repeating the same things every day (my server IP is: xxx, my client IP is: yyy, the code should live in directory: a/b/c). Using the resume feature with Claude simply brings back the same decline in thinking that led me to stop it in the first place. I am sure there is a better way to remember these nuggets between sessions but I have not found it yet.
My replies are not meant to be dismissive and condescending - they are just frank/honest questions. No need to try to decipher a hidden message.
BTW - Meta wedged itself into most people's lives because the people let it happen. It started off well enough, but just like many companies, they adjusted their content based on the people consuming the platform. Its (Meta's) survival is based on getting views and posting ads. That's the business model. If they started showing content that appealed to a small percentage of their viewership, they would probably go out of business.
And you are arguing every business must support your agenda, and if not, they are your "enemy"? What an odd take. Again, you are free to use other means of social media to spread your message but no one is obligated to read or support it. And, that does not make them the enemy.
Erases your existence? Would your existence be threatened if Meta was not a company? What about the countless number of other companies who are not pushing your content? Do you feel threatened by them? Now I see why you chose the word "hate"...
The question is, why do you feel the need to bash them? Do you feel the need to bash the coders of YouTube because they have ads or censor content? Do you feel the need to say ugly things to your grocery store because they don’t actively have the goods you want? Are they your enemy because they hire a certain type of person?
