Reading the article is like climbing a load-bearing wall to quote their last phrase.

I can bet in a few months we will see a book from Uncle Bob Martin about coding without reading the code or something about how to increase your productivity in the age of AI.

New comment by AlexeyBrin in "LLM Usage in Debian: Three Proposals"

> I wonder how long software projects will even be able to ban LLM use in an age where exploits are found by LLMs.

You can use an LLM to scan your human written code for exploits and patch the relevant ones yourself without any LLM code generation. An LLM is a tool, you can chose how you use it.

Sounds like an episode from Black Mirror. How can this complement teacher's work ?

You can replace the tga with bmp which is natively supported by Windows and not difficult to implement (if you prefer to use a C library look for stb libs).

Gustavo's lectures are great! I work through his Compiler lectures now and I bought the 3D renderer course too.

There is no HN as a thinking entity, there are individual users each with his own mind.

You can probably simulate (in theory) the creation and destruction of neural connections the same way we simulate "wires" between elements in an FPGA.

Probably Douglas Adams The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy the book or the screenplay for the movie with the same name.

He does not use AI. I saw a recent interview with him in which he talked a bit about gen AI.

This is in the same vein as "Linux is a cancer" from years ago.

I have no connection with the book author. Also, people post all the time links to paid sources on HN (like books, software or pay for services).

New comment by AlexeyBrin in "Show HN: Learn by rebuilding Redis, Git, a database from scratch"

First impression - looks great. Congrats.

I have couple of questions:

* I didn't see any AI mention, was it entirely built by humans without AI ?

* Were will the tests run ? Your servers or the user machines ? If on your servers, how do you plan to cover the costs if you don't charge for the service ?

* Will you accept contrbutions to the teaching material? How can other people contribute to the teaching material ? What is the AI policy for contributors ?

Now, it looks fine to me too. I tested it in Chrome,Firefox, Safari on macOS and on Safari on an iPad yesterday when I wrote my comment and in all cases there were black lines all over the the place. The author corrected the problem, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48855382
