Well, the public. It’s in the name.

I use a separate physical machine and a scoped token with access to a single repository at a time, and even then I worry about what hole I may have left open.

The general carelessness of the average user is baffling.

Isn’t that the standard economic playbook for all well funded businesses at this point? Walmart, Uber, Amazon, etc

I don’t think the motive matters to a large extent if the effect is good.

Public good isn’t a charity, and a business model that doesn’t contribute to the public good should not be allowed to exist.

I had some contract work years ago helping some PhD program astrophysicists write scripts to make their research algorithms compute their data before their great grandchildren retire and one of the action items we never implemented was because someone wrote an “…etc” in the middle of the math.

They knew that everything was verifiably correct on the input, and verifiably correct on the output, and they swore they had figured it out at one point and just never wrote it down. I was asked if I could “just extrapolate it” and had to explain that computer programs work the same as math - I can give you a literally infinite number of ways to reach an output from an input.

When you say "no", the worst thing that can happen is you lose contributions.

When you say "yes", the worst thing that can happen is you destroy your project and the trust of every user.

If you're not sure, say no.

A “cloud engineer” is orders of magnitude easier to replace than a programmer - there are entire SaaS products that have been trying to be a drop-in replacement for your career since AWS was out of the gate.

The fact that you still have a job should clue you in that this isn’t going where you think it is, regardless of the state of your friends’ pet projects.

The stuff you think is performative and useless is most likely the consequence of letting a couple "all stars" do what they want for years.

Yes, not only are both true, but one is the consequence of the other's extreme.

When you socially punish people for sticking out, even harmlessly, eventually you end up criminally punishing people for sticking out, even harmlessly.

Oh sorry, we're calling them "forced disappearances" now.

Can't be an execution if the body is never found.

Japan, the society with such a corrupt criminal justice system that being arrested for anything regardless of guilt is generally considered the end of your prospects in life?

Yes it’s very easy to have 90% approval and hear no downsides to your regime when you execute and imprison people for disapproval.

Oh you have some complaints? You must be a drug dealer. Death for you.

New comment by devmor in "Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?"

devmor — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 00:59:26 +0000

I still haven’t had it.

I’ve been working with ML for most of my career, and “gen ai” since the days of matrix crunching for NLP to a 10-element response array on my 1080Ti.

The current generation of AI is frankly, only marginally more impressive to me than that era. The only thing I’m saying “oh shit” to is the deranged amount of capital debt being leveraged to make it usable.

Watching companies spend billions of tokens per minute letting their dev teams that barely know how to write a prompt beyond some tips and tricks to gain a fluctuating slightly negative to slightly positive productivity change that no one can quantify is making me feel like one of the only sane people left in the world.

Quantization is the only interesting change I’ve seen in years.

This is actually really cool - I could have used something like this that supports looking for RTMP as well a couple months ago.

This may be true for standard BT (I genuinely have not looked into it), but Meta's glasses are pushing out ADV frames every few seconds, paired or not because they act as a BLE beacon.

Yes actually. You can poll for nearby Bluetooth devices and cap the packets advertising the manufacturer.

Or they just find another way to show you did it - the idea is very similar to how law enforcement uses illegal spying. They simply find another way to prove what they already caught you doing - it’s called Parallel Reconstruction.
