I wonder why he thinks Milei is going to bring continued change over time? Argentina's economy has been a mess as long as I can remember, decades and decades. Why is Milei so different that's he's willing to move there? He must really see a change he can exploit.

My first thought is that this is a hallucinations. I really doubt anthropic would let something like this go by. Even if it's just local to the user.

New comment by WheelsAtLarge in "Ask HN: What kind of computer language will LLM use?"

WheelsAtLarge — Fri, 08 May 2026 22:41:13 +0000

I think that in the near future a super object oriented language will emerge that will let us create computer apps instead of programming them directly. Systems analysts, not programmers, will be able to define a computer app with the objects at a very high level and LLMs will create a JAVA like blob that can be run on multiple systems. The advantage is that the objects will be completely bug free and the app size is only limited by the systems resources. Bottom line, most app development will be done by systems analyst. The AI object programmers, a specialty, will help tweak the underlying function of each object.

Not yet, the IPOs have not started to go bunkers. We are not there yet, but eventually. Nothing goes up forever.

Here's the scenario I see: SpaceX, OpenAI and such go public; AI and tech stocks prices rise to unbelievable heights; We see news stories about someone getting close to becoming a 2x trillionaire; inflation rises; fed raises rates; stocks begin to fall; people panic sell and crash the market.

What I don't think people are taking into account is how wide spread AIs use will be. We are only seeing a very small use now. AI will eventully be coustomize for each country of the world, many of the machines we use and many new ways we can't think of right now. For that to happen we will need lots of data centers and power plants. The next 40 plus years will be bunkers in terms of the amout of productivity needed to roll out all the functions we want. It will be bigger than any recent roll out of new technology, definitely bigger than the web in size and function. No, we are not in a bubble, we are just getting started.

New comment by WheelsAtLarge in "Apple cofounder Ronald Wayne–whose would be worth $400B, has no regrets"

WheelsAtLarge — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 20:56:33 +0000

It's easy to say that he lost a large fortune but the guy is right. You can only make the best decision on the information you have at the time. You don't know the future. Apple is one success in many, many probably millions of failures. He got a good deal at the time. Of course, looking back it was a terrible deal but you can't predict the future with certainty. That is not how life works.

WheelsAtLarge — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 20:47:22 +0000

This is absolutely true. I too guaranty that the market will have a wild fall in the future. The problem is that we don't know when it will happen. The best we can do is pick the best investments we can, invest for the long term and hope for the best.

New comment by WheelsAtLarge in "Sam Altman's Coworkers Say He Can Barely Code and Misunderstands Basic Concepts"

WheelsAtLarge — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 03:39:11 +0000

This doesn’t really surprise me. Most company leaders don’t have a detailed view of day to day work, they couldn’t step in and do every employee’s job. What they are good at is creating a clear story and direction that brings people together around a shared goal. That’s what Sam has done, especially in how he’s sold that vision to investors and raised billions. You could say the same about leaders like Elon Musk or Steve Jobs. It’s not necessarily a perfect system, but it’s often how companies grow and attract funding. No, they are not the perfect humans. It's just how business works.

New comment by WheelsAtLarge in "Ask HN: What are the odds Mythos is hype/bluff?"

WheelsAtLarge — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 05:05:21 +0000

I’ve been thinking that we’ll end up with specialized language models for different tasks, all connected by a router that picks the best one for each job. Put together, that could feel like a “super LLM”, not true AGI, but close enough that it might seem like it to most people. Because of that, I don’t think Mythos is a bluff.

I don’t think LLMs will ever be truly sentient, but they’ll likely appear that way. It won’t be real AGI, just something more powerful than any single human. Think of it as the oracle at Delphi. I'm not shocked that there's a better model coming. I'm sure there will be more powerful models to come after it too.

New comment by WheelsAtLarge in "The Extinction of the Junior Engineer"

WheelsAtLarge — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 05:04:20 +0000

The junior engineer role isn’t going away. It’s just evolving. It’ll likely shift toward things like code analysis, reviewing work, and managing projects with AI tools. It’s similar to when we moved from hand-coded HTML to visual UI builders: the html code might not look perfect(it's actually crappy) , but it gets the job done. Over time, we’ll get better code management tools that will make code easier for everyone to understand. It sucks for the glut of coders that will need to adapt. But that's not new. How many web sites are written in perl, now? Did perl developers disappear? Some, but most moved on to other languages. That’s just how things progress.

Soon we'll have more programming projects popping up. It will now be financially profitable to create smaller projects that were losers before which will create new jobs. Or much more bigger project that could never be built before. So, AI won't take all coding jobs, they will evolve.

Look at the galaxy A17 Here's one for $103. https://www.hsn.com/products/samsung-galaxy-a17-5g-tracfone-...

I have the A15. It's been a good phone. I suspect the A17 is good too. The biggest issues I found is no video out and only 1 loud speaker.

WheelsAtLarge — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 08:40:38 +0000

I turned a hobby into a career. I wouldn't recommend it. You lose the love for the hobby and the career doesn't match the hobby since you're mostly doing what other people need to do, not what you want.

True, focusing on salary will only guide you towards a job you will hate. If I had the opportunity to do it all again, I would work towards a caereer where I had more interaction with people rather than a computer screen. It's something you might want to think about.

WheelsAtLarge — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 16:58:17 +0000

I'm with him on the connection of heart disease and sugar. The amount of sugar we as a society ingest is excessive. It can't be healthy. But I can't get behind the idea of an industry wide statin conspiracy. There's a lot of here-say in this article. If all the studies are wrong then the for and against studies are wrong equally. How can we even trust anything?

This seems to me to be a case of "It's true because I say it's true"

The administration has said that they don't want regime change so that leaves just about anything as a win for the US. I see a big push to destroy the nuclear weapons material and capabilities. Once that's done, the US is out. It's a hard goal but it's the shortest way out.

I feel this is going to be a short war. The war will be settled long before the November elections. The way I see it, there's going to be a "deal" and the administration will call it a win, "THE BIGGEST WIN EVER!" But I'm an optimist at heart. Keep calm. Think hard before you make a move.

Ask HN: How long before AI becomes a deity?

WheelsAtLarge — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 04:41:32 +0000

People are quick classify anything they can't unterstand as a god. How long before a religion is started with AI as its center? It's only a matter of time before it happens.

Here's an example from WWII.
