Eh. This is pointless.

There will always be at least one country that has not rules and everyone will vpn there.

Danish minister was about to solve that nut airing ideas of banning vpn ( was of course dropped, most politicians have zero technical skills, not even rudimentary ones).

Of course this is all to protect the children.

I am unscientifically convinced that the average 12 year old is more technically apt that the entire adult governmental body of north europe.

If the will is there, they will circumevent it and the only outcome was another pointless level of buerocracy that is impossible to enforce.

target the algorithm instead. Its a more difficult area and harder to design that law and it would require understanding technology, the end result would be targeting the platforms, not the users. Possibly with hundreds of millions in fines and less predatory platform behaviour.

This low quality , protect the children yelp regulation set will have no long term effect whatsoever.

It is far to easy to circumvent.

I have experienced both.

I d argue its not the manager that motivates people that can only be found inbooks. Its the manager that can come in and mend a toxic and dysfunctional team.

The toxic teams end up breaking good managers in the end and they either become part of the problem or leave.

The hero manager described in the phoenix project is a myth.

The motivational one imho is very real but they need a good platform just like everyone else.

In my experience, no manager can fix a toxic, dysfunctional team.

That team is doomed and the best course of action is to disband it and let the worst people go.

This isnt reddit No need for another fanatic echo chamber on the web.

I suggest reading the few south american comments in this thread hidden by the usual whatever Trump does vitriol fro EU/US commenters.

r/venezuela is one placce to start. Very different tone there than the ill informed commenters here ( and I say that with detest for “that other site”)

Hopefully the Venezuelan people will have a fighting change to restore their country now.

Time will tell I suppose.

If by “restore their country” you mean “have their oil reserves taken by force without compensation”.

Agreed

This is great. Sonnet 4.5 has degraded terribly.

I can get some useful stuff from a clean context in the web ui but the cli is just useless.

Opus is far superiour.

Today sonnet 4.5 suggested to verify remote state file presence by creating an empty one locally and copy it to the remote backend. Da fuq? University level programmer my a$$.

And it seems like it has degraded this last month.

I keep getting braindead suggestions and code that looks like it came from a random word generator.

I swear it was not that awful a couple of months ago.

Opus cap has been an issue, happy to change and I really hope the nerf rumours are just that. Undounded rumours and the defradation has a valid root cause

But honestly sonnet 4.5 has started to act like a smoking pile of sh**t

>This is great. Sonnet 4.5 has degraded terribly. >I can get some useful stuff from a clean context in the web ui but the cli is just useless. >I swear it was not that awful a couple of months ago.

I agree on all 3 counts. And it still degrades after a few long turns in openwebui. You can test this by regenerating the last reply in chats from shortly after the model was released.

Have nothing to add that hasn’t already been commented. Like the entries in the add list stay. Other than that, my recommendation list keeps coming up with books I have already read and loved and I am hitting the limit :(.

So filtering would be great,

I have seen a few versions of the same books listed more than once.

Loved this. Hope you get to tune it a little.

Also, thank you for not ruining the site with a single popup, email subscription list offer, chatbot, wheelspin from hell anywhere.

Blessings from the popup hating part of the interwebs.

Death threats are fairly common on reddit.

Reddit is beoynd toxic, its bordering on violent extremism

As a response to the AI negativity in the thread. Remember that this thing is in its infancy.

Current models are the embryos of what is to come.

Code quality of the current models is not replacing skilled software engineers, network or ops engineers.

Tomorrows models may well do that though.

Venting the frustrations of this is all very well but I sincerely hope those who wish to stay in the industry, learn to get ahead of AI and utilize and control it.

Set industry standards (now) and fight technically incompetent lawmakers before they steer us into disaster.

We have no idea what the effect of tomorrows LLMs is going to have, autonomous warfare is not that far away eg.

All while todays tech talent spends energy bickering on HN about the loss of being the code review King.

Everyone hated the code review royalty anyway. No one mourns them. Move on.

If managers are pushing a clearly not-working tool, it makes perfect sense for workers to complain about this and share their experiences. This has nothing to do with the future. No one knows for sure if the models will improve or not. But they are not as advertised today and this is what people are reacting to.

Current LLMs are already trained on the entirety of the interwebs, including very likely stuff they really should not have had access to (private github repos and such).

GPT-5 and other SoTA models are only slightly better than their predecessors, and not for every problem (while being worse in other metrics).

Assuming there is no major architectural breakthrough[1], the trajectory only seems to be slowing down.

Not enough new data, new data that is LLM generated (causing a "recompressed JPEG" sort of problem), absurd compute requirements for training that are only getting more expensive. At some point you hit hard physical limits like electricity usage.

[1]: If this happens, one side effect is that local models will be more than good enough. Which in turn means all these AI companies will go under because the economics don't add up. Fun times ahead, whichever direction it goes.

I wonder what the programming equivalent of the AI yellow filter for images is going to be

There's a lot to unpack here but to me your comment sort of contradicts itself. You're saying these things are in their infancy and therefore not able to produce code at the standard of a skilled software engineer. But you also seem to have an axe to grind against code review, which is fine but wouldn't that mean code review is even more important? At least right now? Which is kind of the point of the article.

I don't know what code review royalty is exactly but there are certain coworkers of mine whose feedback I value very highly. I feel sad if that's not the case for you.

> Tomorrows models may well do that though.

yeah, and they also may not. I give it about a 50/50 chance, it either happens or it doesn't

Hard disagree. Vibe code has its downsides but is not nearly as terrible as threatened coders on the forums make it seem.

It's not a threat to software engineers at all. These things are worse than useless when someone who doesn't know what they're doing tries. If anything they're going to create jobs.

Vibe coders are the new script kiddies.
