Guessing this is poking fun of Dario. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49672510
I forsook RN years ago. I am not a huge fan of the JavaScript ecosystem in the first place, and the UX of RN apps is not the best. Instead, I adopted Kotlin Multiplatform (shortly after their memory management…
This is so good at replicating the experience of frustration, then relief when it finally does what you asked it to do in the first place!
I did this as well. I found that it was really inefficient because if I was doing anything with a significant amount of text, it has to shuttle all of that through the model to the MCP invocation. It was way better to…
This seems like a very reasonable and thoughtful response. You have plenty of password manager options if it bothers you.
The author says it's about 700k LoC that he's worked on for 20 years.[1] I don't know how many tokens that arrives at, but that seems non-trivial. [1] https://simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/2/rick-brewster/
This. It’s easy to let happen too. If you’re on a machine that’s not behind NAT then it’s really easy to pwn yourself.
Couldn’t you say that about any Arch spinoff? Seems to be the no true scotsman fallacy.
It depends on what distinction you’re making… If you are asking concerning security, the answer is that it’s an insecure default that should have protected an unwitting user. If you are asking concerning consistency…
Does this really have anything to do with GOS and more to do with apps not wanting to run on rooted phones? A rooted phone is more likely to be tampered with and have its sandbox rules relaxed. There's a big business of…
Hold on, these say no deal has been reached yet.
I get it the sentiment behind the post…but it has some “let them eat cake” vibes though.
That works for a couple turns but the model reverts after just a couple turns. Not to mention after compaction.
Cue the N.I.C.E comparisons.
I appreciate that the OP puts his finger on the problem. I think he's right. I wish there was more optimism or ideas about how to solve it, though. How do I fight against it as an engineer? Or, how do I become a "good"…
Yet we have the option to decide not to participate. That is an option.
You're right. But I used it specifically because of the open letter calling for open models — or at least for not banning them — which went around recently and represented a very large number of tech and AI companies.…
Isn't this the opposite of what everyone is saying should happen? That is, lead with open models -- or at least "openness" and don't leave the capabilities in the hands of an elite few? Did they learn nothing from the…
That's some form of success.
I stopped at "f*ck*ss". Irreverent drivel is unserious and a waste of time.
A compiler is not an LLM, and I do not want to equivocate, but there are aspects of similarity. We do not assume people read the bytes of machine code to ensure it’s correct — there could be mistakes. We also write and…
Do you have some browser extension that replaces phrases with that? That quote doesn't exist in the piece.
This reads almost dishonestly. > Anthropic has never advocated for a ban on open-weights models. This is not an unqualified never. The very next sentence makes a qualified statement: "Open-weights models that don’t have…
Self-hosting a language used to be standard practice. These days that's become a bit more controversial, but I definitely wouldn't lump that in as a sign of obsession.
This doesn't answer the question it asks.
