They really think that their data is not already part of the models. Silly...

Walmart?! Do you think we had a mall?! The only thing we had to do was drinking beer and smoking weed.

Are you old enough to remember the time where the internet doesn't existed? Sounds like not.

We don't talk about age verification like in a bar. We talk about age verification like in the internet, where every of your step generates data. So you don't verify your age, you verify your identity. It's like you step in a bar and someone writes down every word you say, every drink you order and every person or place you look at. And then he places your complete name and address on it and stores it in his closet to pull it out when he needs it.

Would you really enter a bar, casino or strip club when it would look like this?

We don't talk about children, we talk about everyone here.

Would you think the same thing if you happened not to be there, came home half an hour later to find your apartment ransacked with the door smashed in, and had to wait a few months for compensation for the repairs?

I don't understand why Snyk is IN business in any way. Who really wants to upload his own code to a company that is specialized at searching security issues?

How can I trust that they show me all findings they have instead of selling the best ones to some three letter organisations?

That is, assuming you believe "vibe coding" is actually more efficient than hand-coding. If your users simply accept bugs that can't be fixed because doing so would lead to a day-long discussion with your AI, then it is true. Human language is one of the worst ways to describe software.

The fear that I have that I end up in a team that don't care that I hand code my stuff and let their shit everywhere in the code, so that hand coding isn't possible anymore in a team. It's the same with frameworks. Building a webinterface with a framework is really easy, but the result is just bullshit compared to plain php. It looks good, but your load und wait time goes straight up.

New comment by krater23 in "$100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol"

krater23 — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 11:36:21 +0000

I've seen similaer videos in the pre AI time where someone stiches stock fotos together that fit to the lyrics. Absolute shit, and this is the advanced way to do that. It's a costly gimmic for illegal youtube uploads. The videos have no more value than that. So yes, you could do that in half an hour with your current knowledge and 0$, but it would be meaningless still images instead of meaningless video snippets. I see not much difference.

They have the same sentiment also now. I expect when you not write code at all you aren't more productive than before or producing unmaintainable shit. Sorry bro, most of the time it needs more text to explain the AI which small fault she has done compared with just fixing it self. So when you don't code at all, you either lose time by explaining this issues a guy that never learns or you just ignore them.

Just stay awake, you're sleepy all the day anyway... Not meant as joke, but I've learned that trying to sleep when I'm not sleepy is senseless. When I really have a month where I get every day my 7h sleep, I need one night without sleep, otherwise I can't sleep at night anymore.

Downloading this attachement doesn't executes it. Checking out a branch in this case executes the file in the branch. Thats a big difference.

I could imagine that in near future when token prices are as high as they really are, programmers that can't imagine or remember how to write code anymore will clean our streets, drive our taxis and water our plants.

I think that is perl, but I share what you mean, as more features they add, as uglyer it gets.

I know the answer, because they get their money from AI bros and it's a really good headline.

It's silly, nearby all Rust projects are rewrites of existing projects and now as you don't need to learn Rust to do rewrites, people just let the AI rewrite projects in Rust.

C/C++ with static code analysis is not worse than Rust. But most Rust developers are beginners during there are many C/C++ developers with 20+ years knowledge. So whats exactly is the point in using Rust?

> but this just isn't the kind of professionalism needed for a serious project.

Yes, I think you are totally right. I'm sure Linux would never be so big as it is without a maintainer that talks so professional than Linus Torvalds.
