Kinda funny seeing this reply side to side with the "I just took LSD" one

Most of the answers to your post are reasons this 75% must be fake / lies or whatever.

But maybe the simplest answer is that most people do use the tools daily now and consider them essential...?

As much as HN would hate to think that

Of course they will, the goalposts will keep shifting because people don't want to admit that agents are now this capable.

I'm really out the loop here so maybe you can help answer me a question - why is HN unhappy about this rewrite? why are people writing here almost as if they feel betrayed by Bun being rewritten from Zig into Rust?

I genuinely don't get it. I've been following this Bun stuff a bit but I don't understand where the HN sentiment is coming from.

I mean this is just fingers-in-your-ears "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!" stuff.

I still have a job so AI hasn't taken that yet. But the suggestion it's "no closer" is ridiculous. At least in my life/career/office this last 12 months seems to have been a real inflection point in how AI is being used for software development.

It's funny because I interpret it the opposite way you do. If someone asked me that question, I'd absolutely assume they want it changed and do it.

One guy has twice as much money as that. Can't be a big deal.

I don't completely disagree with what you are saying -- but there's no way you produce and review 20k lines a day. That part is clearly false. Even if Claude generated it in 10 seconds and it needed no changes you probably still couldn't review that much sensibly.

I used Claude a lot on a recent project where it probably wrote 15-20k lines in a month, and it was overall excellent.

We all know Trump voters didn't give two shits about the price of eggs. That's not why they vote for him.

You should probably keep to LinkedIn for this kind of crap.

How do you pick a number as specific as 600? I have absolutely no idea how many football games I've ever watched.

I pay people globally through HSBC all the time. Works instantly.

I never understand this argument anyway. If you can't send funds instantly that isn't because the currently itself can't be transferred instantly - it's because for whatever reason you don't have access to a provider that will provide that service. That's a separate problem and can be solved without having to build an entirely new currency / financial system.

Tesl — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 12:27:42 +0000

This is how the Taiwan exchange used to do matching, and I still think it's the best system I've seen.

I don't think the reason has anything to do with price discovery, it's just because exchanges want to maximise their trading fees. Continuous order book trading leads to more trades and hence more profit for the exchange.

Still waiting for all this evidence of yours.

Much easier to just go by gut feeling though isn't it.

New comment by Tesl in "Ask HN: LinkedIn mysteriously banned me permanently; where to go next?"

Tesl — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 05:39:56 +0000

OP didn't say they engaged in no activity, they just didn't know why they got banned. OP probably did/said all sorts of things that would have justified it.

Anyway I've never felt it's a requirement to have a LinkedIn profile to get hired as a developer, so the post as a whole is strange to me.

Feels slow to me actually this week (also on trial). I wondered if it could be because I'm in Asia and if its faster from the US?
