I liked remix so much, very sad it ended up in a graveyard

You forgot to add ghosting for a month and then asking for another round of interview.

Fully autonomous weapons are a danger even if we can reliably make it happen with or without AI.

It essentially becomes a computer against human. And such software if and when developed, who's going to stop it from going to the masses? imagine a software virues/malwares that can take a life.

I'm shocked very few are even bothered about this and is really concerning that technology developed for the welfare could become something totally against humans.

Google AI mode constantly does mistakes and I go back to chatgpt even when I don't like it.

We're going back full circle. From renting/buying DVDs, Bluray to Online streaming to renting content again.

This feels more like Windows Vista when everybody wanted to switch it off but ultimately switched back to Windows XP until Windows 7 was launched. The liquid glass confuses a lot of folks and it's good when done minimally and not all over the OS.

Java was thriving during the golden age of Eclipse Foundation and IDE. JetBrains is very much recent.

Okay I see now. I'm just shooting in the dark here, if there's an ability to generate the next best token based on the trained set of words. Can it be taken a level up, in a meta level to generate a generation? like genetic programming does. Or is that what the chain of thought reasoning models do?

Maybe I need to do more homework on LLMs in general.

I wonder if some of this can be solved by removing some wrongly setup context in LLM. Or get a short summary, restructure it and againt feed to a fresh LLM context.

So we're much closer to the per year spend US saw during the railroad construction era.

At this rate, I hope we get something useful, public, and reasonably priced infrastructure out of these spending in about 5-8 years just like the railroads.

Was wondering something similar, if OP had blogged it earlier when he found claude was using it and re-posted it in HN/reddit it in a sensational way to capture eyes. Maybe through one of the forums he could have got an introduction and a job doing what he loves.

OP still has a chance now, maybe not anthropic, even other competitors can come knocking.

New comment by Onewildgamer in "Ask HN: What software subscriptions are worth paying for?"

Onewildgamer — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 07:25:21 +0000

Claude Pro (Switched from Gemini Pro)

Cloudflare domain, compute, db

Apple 50GB Storage

Google One Premium Family (Storage only, not AI)

Youtube Premium

PS Plus

Cancelled:

Spotify (youtube music is better for my needs)

Google AI

Fantastical - I came full circle to Google Calendar

I've bought quite a few useful mac and ios apps on one time payment. I'm interested in rsync.net and maybe setup a self hosting with my friends and family.

Onewildgamer — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 01:28:06 +0000

An interesting take, only if the stakes are low when the decisions are wrong. I'm not confident to have an LLM taking decisions for a customer or me. I'd rather have it suggest things to customers, sugesstive actions and some useful insights that user may have overlooked.

I was grinning ear to ear reading this, laughed together with a co-worker. What a brilliant, beautiful, thought provoking, ridiculous genius of a comedy.

Thank you, I felt both my intelligent and comic parts of the brain were hanging out in a bar.

Onewildgamer — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 06:50:23 +0000

Our management introduced copilot last year, there was some mild hype, people were curious, gave it a spin, but it didn’t stick around in many conversations.

Now that everyone has access to Claude and claude-code, Copilot barely gets mentioned anymore. Maybe this wave dies down or they improve it, anyway these tools still have a long long way to go.

Onewildgamer — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 04:50:15 +0000

Finally someone said it, they're overconfident in their approach, don't consult us with the details of the implementation, they're trained to create mock APIs that don't follow structure, leading to lot of rework. The LLM actions should be measured, collaborative, ask for details when it's not present. It is impossible to give every single detail in the initial prompt, and a follow up prompt derails the train thought and design of the application.

I don't know if I'm using it right, I'd love to know more if that's the case. In a way the LLM should improve on being iterative, take feedback, maybe it's a hard problem to add/update the context. I don't know about that either, but love to learn more.

As a developer, you are allowed to put only one 'link' (not a more user friendly button/supporting text) to your own website for any purchase, it has to be a small font, and not in the checkout flow that takes to Apple pay. Which in itself is very scummy to begin with.

To top it, when the user actually sees that hidden 'link' and clicks on that, the user is put up with a big screen of message that the external website doesn't have security, privacy etc.

Check it yourself in this article by a developer: https://www.macstories.net/news/an-app-store-first-delta-add...

Staples, Best Buy, CompUSA, Office Depot are not a monopoly, if you do not like one as a distributor, you can go sell at another, or you can very well sell at your own mini shop, as any commerce should be.

Best Buy/CompUSA/Office Depot employees do not scare the customers and block the customers coming to you directly.

These are the few problems of monopoly that Apple so conveniently takes advantage of.
