I think the comments in this thread are a little unhinged, and it's making me concerned about the sincerity and knowledge of the average commenter here. The fact is the post shows no evidence of anything malicious being…
I feel the same. Unfortunately, I've had to deal with CORS in a few situations where the request is "we need to get this thing from this server, but we can't change the servers CORS or CSP", which, in technical security…
The most likely candidates are places like Bradford and Birmingham, which are still - according to wikipedia - 60%+ white british, that's without even considering british asian or other people born in and native to the…
As a brit, I can confirm I am not at all fed up with immigration. Your comment is unnecessary, unsubstantiated, doesn't add anything to the discussion and is just going to cause arguments in its current form.
This repo suggests running a PDS is a good thing because independence from platform changes, network resilience, data sovereignty and portability. Doing that on cloudflare feels like a bit of a practical and ideological…
Fair comment, it wasn't my intent to insult - I can completely see how it could come across as a lot more personally and insulting than I intended - sorry Tezza. I hope it's understood my frustration is not at the…
> Every single time a post about atproto hits Hacker News, somebody asks in the comments: “But where are all the Bluesky instances?”. The problem is, there are no instances in atproto! The question is a category error.…
This is slop, in the sense that it looks like a lot of useful work and effort, and AI is heavily involved, and it was offered up when the opposite was requested, meaning it's not at all helpful in this context. I raised…
I did browse and check the links. This was the first link I went to: https://generative-ai.review/2026/05/vibe-coding-my-way-to-e... as it's the main one on the page, and I saw more qualitative stuff without…

So we agree on what their job is, but you're saying that if their job becomes impossible, they should quit, and I agree. Do you think the author of the original article should have quit, rather than tried?
> It's not an engineer's job to fix upper management delusions, and engineering is poorly equipped for that in any case. What is the job of engineering leadership in your mind then, if not to take requirements from the…
> When I returned from five months of paternity leave in early 2024, the org needed someone at my level to lead GenAI work in developer experience and I was the available person. It wasn't a bet so much as an…
That's a good question and make me think. I always thought the trackpoint nubs were binary too, basically just a stick in the middle of up/down/left/right mousekey buttons, bit it turns out they're not! For original…
Personally, I don't see this as people punching someone who's down. This is the sort of real life experience and necessary context from actual technical users that I come to HN comments for. Someone is just asking to…
You seem to be arguing that vibecoding photoshop wasn't possible up until 2 months ago, with GPT 5.4/5.5. That's a very, very weird take on many, many levels. Could you elaborate a bit about where that view came from,…
Paypal Mafia -> Crypto Mafia -> AI/LLM Mafia -> I'm calling Biotech/BCI Mafia, WW3 Military Industrial Mafia, or Energy Mafia next.
I think context length is important to consider here. I find Gemmas really good for a short conversation with maybe 3 or 4 exchanges of a few paragraphs each, which covers a surprisingly large amount of interactions.…
Sorry, I somehow didn't see the comment above yours, but it makes a lot more sense now. The sentiment still applies the parent comment of yours though.
I feel that's a little bit misleading. That link doesn't have much affiliation with Qwen or anyone who produces/trained the Qwen models. That doesn't mean it's not good or safe, but it seems quite subjective to suggest…
The defining difference about paying money to a corporation in exchange for a product is you're paying for something already there, an agreed exchange of value. The whole point about a donation is it's given not in…
Yeah, I agree with your approach entirely - it feels like the mature option compared to the young influencer view that you want everyone to read your opinion. Seeing it as a public ledger, rather than a platform or…
> Due to that, and because it's a popular an open source alternative, I want to be able to recommend it and be enthusiastic about it. The problem for me is that the development practices of the people that are working…
I agree. I think modern overlay networks can navigate CG-NAT fine now. Other options include free cloudflare, or just a wireguard tunnel to a free tier VPS. On a similar point, I don't think enough people talk about how…
