Sounds like it would be useful. Many common dev workflows started falling apart when it's not just tiny code files they need to deal with. In the python world, uv has helped massively, with pip we were seeing 30+ min build times on fairly simple images with torch

With ML and AI now being pushed into everything, images have ballooned in size. Just having torch as a dependency is some multiple gigabytes. I miss the times of aiming for 30MB images.

Have others found this to be the case? Perhaps we're doing something wrong.

Indeed. I've had even experienced sysadmins be surprised that their ufw setup will be ignored.

> The filter used to be effort. You had to care enough to spend weeks on something, which meant you probably understood the problem deeply. Now that filter is gone and we get a flood of "I prompted this in 20 minutes" posts where the author can't answer a single follow-up about their own code. The interesting Show HNs still exist, they're just buried under noise.

The irony of a bot comment

Using a framework gives you some assurance that the underlying methods are well designed. If you don't know how to spot issues in auth design, then using an LLM instead of a library is a bad idea.

I agree though there's many non-critical libraries that could be replaced with helper methods. It also coincides with more awareness of supply chain risks.

Those are definitely bigger issues. I would also add the 100 megaton explosion, which physically wasn't even nearly possible. I wonder if there was a scientist in the writing room raising it as an issue, only to be ignored because the show needed a subplot, much like how the show's politicians ignored Legasov to not embarrass the state.

The bouncing caps stuck with me as I've seen many reviews online mentioning how fascinating they found the scene. In my opinion it's only fascinating if it has some grounding in the actual truth. After all, the show wouldn't be as popular if it was about a made up disaster and made up energy technology.

I agree the show is compelling, but once I noticed the inaccuracies, it became difficult to immerse myself. Perhaps I would've enjoyed it more if the show runner didn't claim high accuracy.

They even published a podcast highlighting the creative freedoms, but failed to mention the important ones, like the fact that the reactor caps couldn't bounce up and down...

Deeply ironic for a show with the tagline "What is the cost of lies?"

Consensus on GPT-5 has been that it was underwhelming, and definitely a smaller jump than 3 to 4.

The product seems interesting, but the landing page I found very chaotic and gave up reading it. The individual pieces of information are fine I think, but the flow is poor and some info repeats. Was it AI generated?
