Okay, but that was a really useful metaphor if incomplete in a lot of ways. It made me say “oh”.

Because it’s uncomfortable to see decades of work copied so trivially.

Which you will necessarily have if they’ve completed a Rust rewrite.

Okay I tend to agree with the CivPro analysis here, but the parent was probably more concerned with the result on the merits.

This makes no sense. Masa has at least 2 extraordinary investments and Zuck bought Insta for 1 billion USD.

So vibe coding = copy/paste from SO = interpreter with GC = compiler = punch cards. Got it.

Makes sense. I was looking for a link from the main site and noticed there wasn't one. A great leave-behind for sales. Nice job.
piker

Thanks for sharing that. Very cool - was this sales product that you decided to release or has it always been public?

Oxide hitting stride just in time for the memory crisis. I hope they can sustain because they have the coolest stuff, and the podcast is great.

I guess the world of atoms is still hard enough that you can publish an interactive spec of your product and not have to worry about it being immediately copied.

It's so interesting to read comments like this and contrast them with the "don't read the code" type of vibes out right now. It feels like half of the developer world is optimizing low-level struct packing and the other half is YOLO'ing 300 KLOC Electron apps. Very confusing.

I tend to agree with the title but the content seems both AI generated and somewhat dated. The feels 20% faster but actually 19% slower I believe is a few years old at this point. I'm a skeptical as the next but I think it would hard to find a metric on which modern LLMs make devs "19% slower".

Yes, that's right. The folks in this thread just got really worked up thinking that I disagreed with that point, which distracted from my message which was about the A pillar.
piker

Yes, obviously this is what is required.

> and there’s a pedestrian crossing in front of me

This is wrong. You have to do it every time because the pedestrian is in your blind spot.

My experiences have been at around 5mph. Again, it's not speed.

If you watch the video in the post you will understand. The person is just invisible to the driver and they're travelling around the same very low speed.

It's not a speed issue. They're in a blind spot. Your brain tells you that you can see everything, but it's incorrect.

My experiences have been under slow circumstances only. And that makes sense because the individual "lingers" in the blind spot (and perhaps matches your speed) if you're going slow. If you were going fast, the blind spot would be moving much faster and you would see them.

Yes, I agree with both of those statements. If you read the original statement before the "tut tut" response, you will note that I was only suggesting the A pillars introduce dangerous blind spots. I understand how that could be confused on other platforms, but I expected folks on HN to extend the benefit of the doubt that posters are not generally oblivious to the law. So the conversation derailed.

I think I've just lost 10 IQ points in this thread.

YES! OF COURSE. I SAID IT'S A LIABILITY. I AM SHARING INFORMATION, PERHAPS TO AFFECT FUTURE CONSUMER CHOICE.
piker
·18 дней назад·discuss
Of course it would! That's the whole point.

People shouldn't enter the road until it's clear they've been seen.

I'm not sure what you're missing here guy.

I've said the A bar is a liability because of the blind spot it introduces.

Your response was that the person in the road has the right of way. This is known.

Somehow I give immigrants a bad name because I acknowledge that it is difficult to manage people who assert their right-of-way into blind spots.

It's called a blind spot for a reason. How can one yield to something they by definition don't see?
piker

This is such a British response.

Obviously that's what the law says, yes. But if they hop into someone's blind spot, it won't matter to their family much that they were in the right.
