Every single one of these AI services are running at loss, they are subsidized. Anybody who is surprised that these services are going to get degraded and their cost go up substantially learned nothing from the last 20 years of SAAS. It never gets cheaper.

Hardware synthesizers, audio engineering, DSP programming, a whole lot of problems to solve in that domain as big manufacturers sell half baked devices for a quick buck that can barely stay in sync, or gear that is inferior to the same kind of gear from 20 years ago... it's not niche though, synth popularity is exploding, it's just that manufacturers aren't making the synthesizers as powerful as they could be, despite the increase in CPU power...

As long I doesn't shove "shorts" or "other people watched" in the result list, it's an improvement. Sometimes the results are so egregious and completely unrelated to the search terms that I feel like youtube wants to piss me off on purpose. I don't want to be searching some quantum physics video and get videos of some barely clothed women in Miami, I fail to see how it is related...

strange downvotes, not only these services allow anyone with money to copy their competitors if they use the same services, but on the long run, Anthropic could very well be the competition, trained on corporations that use Claude. Why would this startup be any different from Google or Microsoft on the long run? People can't seem to learn their lesson.

This is false, overwhelmingly MALES. For a time, males couldn't leave Ukraine, while females could. Those who go to die on the front in all wars are mostly males. Doesn't mean that females aren't casualties as well, they are.

Fantastic write-up, that's exactly why I came to HN many years ago, to find such articles about mundane things or products, but the technical aspect is just fascinating.

I simply disagree, you know what topics I flagged, I'm not trying to bait you or any other moderator, and will discuss the matter no further.

That ship has sailed a long time ago, with the approval of the moderation itself.

> they don't know how to use than the tools themselves.

No, the tools work perfectly as they were design to work. The problem is that the tools are flawed.

Ultimately, every single of these decisions should be approved by a human, which should be responsible for the fuck up no matter what the consequences are.

> _Some_ of the blame lies on the UX here. It must.

No, the blame lies with the person or the group who approve the usage of these tools, without understanding their shortcomings.

Juniors don't set up these policies or even chose the tools they have to use professionally. If the higher ups are panicking it's fully of their own doing.

Aren't these companies mandating the use of these tools at first place? Juniors aren't the problem.

Yet another example of vibe coding at scale. You'll have to hire a lot of seniors out of retirement to fix that mess of gigantic proportions... and don't blame "the juniors" for that, they didn't make the decision to allow those tools at first place.

throw_m239339 — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:52:33 +0000

The difference is diversity of opinions. There is none on Bluesky. Anybody can voice their opinion on Twitter/X. On Bluesky you'll be quickly shun by the entire community or straight out banned for not agreeing with specific partisan talking points, no need to list them, it's similar to reddit editorial policies. If you deem Twitter an extremist social media, then Bluesky is even worse,as it just only allows one sort of extremism, one kind of ideology.

HN has mostly turned into a reddit bis since 2023, with tons of topics that have absolutely nothing to do with startup, tech or programming but are directly taken from of r/news ... I'll take bots spamming fake projects over petty divise partisan politics.

> Doesn’t the EU have an excellent education system?

Well, the EU has not manufactured a whole lot of chips in the last 30 years, where do you get the people with the professional experience to teach new engineers... Oh you mean you have to import the teachers from South Asia too? /s and it takes what, 5 years at the minimum to train an engineer? France and UK used to produce entire home computers... in the 80's...

> I think Europe should invest into manufacturing RAM. RAM isn't going anywhere, all of modern compute uses it. This would be an opportunity to create domestic supply of it.

It's easy to build factories, much more difficult to train the engineers required to run them... and let's not even talk about all the crazy regulations & environmental rules at the EU level that make that task even more difficult, because yes, chip factories do pollute... a lot.

Countries like South Korea or Taiwan have adapted all their legislations and tax, environmental regulations to allow such factories to operate easily. The EU and EU countries will never do that... better outsource pollution and claim they care about the planet...
