I’m not talking coding agents. More so agent harnesses and using LLMs for decision making

It’s 100% intentional, go look back at what they did with the Facebook app.

I’m in the same boat. After witnessing context rot and inference collapse, I do not trust any LLM with mission critical work. Not Jev, not grok, not fable, not Opus.

This is why I feel sorry for nationalists. They don’t understand basic global economics.

This. This is what they are trying to do. If they can flip the entertainment industry to use neural rendering using their "proprietary" api's then they would have cornered a market from the bottom.

Excellent write up. The cited references are on point too. Eric Lengyel is a legend.

Obviously there are more but the original joke circa 1999 was this. Made Y2K even more exciting.

The two most difficult things in software engineering...

Naming.

Timestamps.

New comment by reactordev in "Show HN: Lofi Cities – Pixel-art city nights with browser-generated lofi"

reactordev — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 11:42:10 +0000

Visited and when I clicked on Paris to select a different city, the music kicked in. I thought this was supposed to be lofi but I was met with what I would describe as basic midi. Immediately hit with loud hard piano and rhodes keyboard. The pixel art has an identity crisis. It's very much generated by AI. This entire thing is slop.

Because we do. The GPL isn't a suggestion. If you can take open source code and make private software out of it then what are we all doing? No, license requirements and agreement are law for a reason.

Seconded!! This doesn’t really help the well established codebases much that are already doing this on a platform specific path but in general this is much appreciated for the future.

The models themselves are an inherent risk. It’s amazing what they can do but at the same time you are no longer in complete control.

reactordev — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 16:00:09 +0000

Solving the linear scheduling problem is welcome. Allowing each MSO/Content maker to profit is also welcome. Creating islands of content exclusive to that platform and then raise prices after record breaking profits and mergers to create a monopoly? Not welcome.

Cable companies purposefully enacted legislation more than a decade ago to prevent innovation until they could provide these streaming platforms for their oligarchs. Cable companies then sell to them and now are board members of the new platform.
