Ok, who vibecoded the twitter password reset flow? Be honest, it barely works

@antirez It's a lemon market for comments. No point in posting a peach of a comment in a pile of lemons.

I'm very worried for the degrading level of HN comments due to mass-arrival of users over the years. Soon or later, there is something to do about it. The problem with HN is that it does not mimic in any way the social dynamics that determine that you need to earn ability to comment / talk. Voting comments does not work since the voters themselves have quality issues.

oops did it again

There are 4 types of people saying "AI will replace Software Engineering" in 6 months 1. they own a company that benefits from replacing engineers (ceo, stockholders etc). they need to justify the amount invested into them 2. Company that made big cuts and they want to attribute it to whatever and AI is good excuse 3. People who never worked as as/with Software Engineering and have no clue the work is not just typing 4. Burned out engineers who don't want to do that job anymore

AI is NOT replacing cybersecurity jobs. Full stop. I'm so tired of people parroting "AI will replace reverse engineers" and "malware analysis is solved". No. It is not. I have analyzed hundreds of malware samples using AI. Here's what actually happens: -> It gives you made-up decryption keys with full confidence -> It tries to decrypt data that is literally random garbage -> It misidentifies malware families -> It misses critical functions And have you ever tried retrohunting with the YARA rules AI writes across thousands of samples? Go ahead. Watch the false positives roll in. That alone should tell you everything you need to know. Every single output needs human validation and rigorous review. AI is a tool, a powerful one. But someone still has to build the MCPs, validate the output, understand the context, catch the hallucinations, and make the actual calls during incident response. The people saying this stuff loudest have clearly never watched AI confidently hand them completely wrong decrypted data and make them believe it's real. Stop scaring newcomers out of the field and misleading people with this nonsense. Cybersecurity still needs humans.

I can't believe someone would just steal from Anthropic like this. The millions of man-hours Anthropic spent hand-writing code, text, art, books, etc. to generate enough data for training must be taken into consideration here. Where is the respect for IP?

Nobody wants "recommendations" in the search results. We want search results relevant to the search terms we enter. YouTube search has been beyond broken for years now. I use DuckDuckGo to search YouTube, that's how bad it is lol

I'll be honest. tRPC changed how I think about APIs more than any course, book, or YouTube tutorial ever did. The moment you stop writing fetch('/api/user') and start calling user.get() like it's just... a function? Your brain rewires. Permanently. If you're still REST-maxxing on a full-stack TypeScript project in 2026, I genuinely feel for you. @trpcio has no business being this clean.

I hate that Microsoft might be vibecoding Windows, but it's inevitable microsoft laid off everyone who knows how c++ works so now they just prompt gpt 5 to fix the codebase. 30% of windows is written by ai. that is why your printer drivers were deleted to make room for 4gb of copilot telemetry they rewrote office in typescript. file explorer and the notification center are now just bloated electron instances that take 3 seconds to render a right click menu the taskbar and start menu were rebuilt from scratch in react just to shove ads and "recommended" bloatware in your face. it uses more ram than world of warcraft did in 2004 copilot is being forced into notepad and paint. they are forcing you to test it in your basic tools windows search isn't looking for your files. it's a bing wrapper designed to sell you a microsoft 365 subscription while you're desperately trying to find a local pdf the widgets section is another bloat that nobody asked for. edge webview was designed to keep your cpu usage high enough that you're forced to switch to linux over all of that, the task manager barely works in the latest updates nobody at microsoft knows what "win32" means anymore. they replaced their support forums with an ai that just tells you to "try restarting" if your kernel panics

It's mind-blowing that the entire AI revolution is being driven by a single 10-line algorithm.

Did youtube change their api so we can't easily get transcripts from videos now?

What is going on with X's comment system? I've seen high comment counts on posts where X only actually shows some 100 or so replies. Is it lazy engineering or intentional to only show comments in the user's own cohort?

🧵THREAD: "Fake MAGA," Foreign Ops & the Nick Fuentes Factor This week on X has been chaotic, and every influencer I've talked to feels it. A new report dropped, and it's making serious claims: that foreign propaganda accounts are masquerading as MAGA to hijack conservative spaces and even push people to turn on Trump himself. The report goes beyond analyzing bots and foreign actors. It names names. And the New York post article buried the lede: it explicitly calls out Nick Fuentes and his network as central amplifiers. Nick Fuentes is the third rail of MAGA X, and for good reason; to speak of him is to invite wrath and harassment. I could've left this volatile topic alone and I know I would've been better off for it. But when I see what @SarahisCensored has endured - and the grace and courage she's shown - it's a reminder of 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." ... how can I possibly stay silent? It’s time we break the taboo of calling out wolves in MAGA clothing, even the ones the bots prop up. I read the entire report. Now I'm going to walk you through what it really says. And what we need to watch for. 👇 Patience as I assemble this thread in real time.

@stack_wild Those that ordered the correct thing, but, failed to use it properly are, in my opinion, worthy of some study (-;

What percent of bad reviews are just from dumbasses who ordered the wrong thing? 🤔

I'm showing this to my therapist

who else feels like this? 😂😂
