I would argue the opposite. It’s gotten us to a point were we can recreate human intelligence from electricity and a bunch of math!

I think CC is popular because they are catering to the common denominator programmer and are going to continue to do that, not because CC is particularly turn-key.

Any model besides Claude. AFAIK anthropics the only corp to say no to other harnesses.

Some people have a gut reaction to take any bad news about America as slander or manipulated science; choosing to reject the truth as their dear leader tells them to.

A novel way of measuring poverty is something you should be really skeptical of!

>But an adult is and should be allowed to develop a nicotine addiction.

Says who? Addiction is never rational, that's what makes it addiction. Ffs.

I've never maintained software long-term so i could be wrong, but I interpret "code is cheap" to mean that you can have coding agents refactor or rewrite the project from scratch around the design correction. I don't think 'code is cheap' ever should be interpreted to mean ship hacky code.

I think using agents to prototype code and design will be a big thing. Have the agent write out what you want, come back with what works and what doesn't, write a new spec, toss out the old code and and have a fresh agent start again. Spec-driven development is the new hotness, but we know that the best spec is code, have the agent write the spec in code, rewrite the spec in natural language, then iterate.

Except you can write Kotlin and ktor outside of Jetbrain's IDEs.

Anthropic wants a world where they own your agent where it can't exist outside of the Claude desktop app or Claude Code.

There could exist a world where your agent isn't confined by the whims of a corporation.

Please. I'm sure you're referring to their locking down of subscription keys, which of course they are going to have restrictions on. It's a subsidized subscription model.

You've always been able to create a platform account and use API keys with usage-based billing, and that will never go away. Charging enough to make a profit on inference isn't exactly rent-seeking or whatever language you want to use to villainize a company trying to make enough revenue to survive.

There was the video a little while back where LTT built a computer for Linus Torvalds and they put an Intel Arc card inside, so I'd imagine Linux support is at the very least, acceptable.

> they put an Intel Arc card inside

just add a little bit:

linus requested the card be intel as well.

one can upgrade and swap parts with a computer running an Intel GPU. Linux is very well supported compared to Mac hardware.

Such a wrong take.

The utility of a program like Excel, Obsidian, Notion, Unity, Jupyter, or Emacs far beyond the knowledge of knowing how to use the product.

All of these products are hammers with nails as far as your creativity will take you.

Its wild to have be on a website called Hacker News, talking about a product that can make a computer do seemingly anything, and insisting its a tool in search of a problem.
