I was talking more about middle management. Some smaller CEOs like the parent comment suggested. Those people, as you said, are not our overloads, because they lack intelligence and technical skills.

For the long time this worked oh right: get to know right people, wipe some asses, lick some other, play some golf and be sociopath. But right now it does not cut it anymore. You have to be either smart, skilled or know your business and IT somewhat to now how and to what extent or if at all you can use so called AI in your company. People like you described are out of their league entirely.

Nice so EU-based company with API available for my agent to use. Right now I am using lightpanda but this my be simpler. I will check it out. Thanks.

Exactly what I thought! And then I read that some guy is working while driving. Jesus Christ... Next time it will be post: I am talking to my phone about my code while I shower and I never felt more productive!

Yes, Qwen 3.6 MoE is hitting like 80-90tk/s on Strix halo. On R9700 I had like 170t/s. It was not possible to keep up. But MoE is circling very often. I switch then to dense model and have 20-30t/s but it is able to solve quite a lot of tasks.

Yeah right, it could not. US would probably would be unable to produce something really simple like electrical cables or plastic flip flops, yet alone computer chips.

sure mate I was just asking you what is your take about that. I mean I am working remotely and barely see my friends, alienate myself even more because I want to listen to private music does not seem like a good idea. Concerts and music festivals are great events to meet existing and new friends.

But this is just me. You do you.

Yes, I understand what you are writing about. But to be true, I am not sure if this is right thing to do. After all it seems like you are closing yourself in a bubble of your own experiences and emotions. Will you be able to talk to other people and relate to their own emotions and experiences if you will be only ever thinking about your own?

What I really like when I was young, was to talk to my friends about what we find in Diablo II. Or how I like or dislike some band.

Can you talk about your own AI generated music with your friends if this is some intimate?

But this is just my take on that, mate. You do you.

Maybe this is were we will end up, society combined of individualistic, self-centered, non-empathetic, sociopaths. But can it be still called society?

Yeah I looked throught that but could not sent response to your comment because for some reason HN decided I am posting to fast. Yeah I was doing it manually and sending 2 comments a day. FFS.

Anyway yeah it looks interesting. In theory I could start it up with my mail server, which already is using docker compose, configure it and use API for sending emails.

I will give it a try.

npodbielski — Wed, 27 May 2026 18:10:44 +0000

Yes I know I am using it. I just think API, built-in API should be standard. Creating separate mailbox for each self hosted service I am running and testing it and making sure it is using TLS instead of STARTTLS or other way around and fixing user name because some services send using domain and some not, and setting correct port because 465 did not work even if it should be using SSL... It is so much hussle. Maybe it was fun when I was doing PHP forms 20 years ago but not now. Now I want to have just API with /mail/send and API key and forget about all of that.

> Put simply, Stack Overflow’s new niche is the trust built by its old community and their expertize.

This is just dead man kicking. This will be less and less valuable thing as all sort of info go out of date.

But if it this, and IT WILL go out of date, what will be new learning data for all of those models?

Previously with SO people just enjoyed helping other people. But if they will be helping primarily multibillion dollar "AI" companies, then why would they? If nobody will be doing that then how this knowledge will be shared? There is open source projects and docs but they are blocking stuff more and more and some point I wont be surprised if you will have to log in into Debian or Arch Linux system to be able to read those docs.

But then if those companies and OSS will be not adding to training data what will? Will it be that programmers will be just writing new code for llms, for the money till they will make themselves obsolete?

Or at some point those "AI" companies will use anything they can to get ahead of the competition, even if this is against contracts or the law?

The longer I think about the future the more grim it looks.
