alright alright, what's going on? This doesn't seem to correlate with a big model release? (or does it? Claude Haiku 5.5 is in the vicinity) Is this just Anthropic/OpenAI causing this trouble by themselves to validate their existence? Is this related to Anthropic's IPO?
Maybe broad adoption is the answer? More people are starting to understand how to apply LLMs as tools, some people who previously might have been hesitant are now willing since they're seeing the benefits?
I don't know for sure, but over the past few months I've seen a bunch of skeptical people do a complete 180 and start using LLMs more actively.
Look into KVM extenders. Beware though that there are two main types - standard KVM Extenders (which is more or less point to point - you can't connect these to an existing wired network) and IP KVM Extenders (which can run across an existing ethernet or fibre network). Its get complicated but getting those two confused at the outset can lead to a lot of unnecessary pain and expense.

No they are not. Hi there. We noticed you have been listening to Rage Against the Machine, Metallica and Deftones. Why not have a listen of this Robbie Williams song too ... blasts out some pop song at extra high volume.
It would disrupt UKs defence (nuclear submarines in particular) and energy (oil fields) both of which currently are primarily based geographically within Scotlands territory. This is classic Russian tactics. Its not about whether Scotland joins EU or stays with UK, or which is economically or politically the best decision - its about seeding chaos and uncertainty within one of Russias largest antagonists.
Not everything is about money. Have you never wanted to be good at something because you enjoy it? Or do something for the love of the craft? Have you heard of altruism?
This exactly.
You have to be honest about why you are building something. If the answer is that you actually want to use it, then yes, quality and maintainability are important.
It might even be a good idea to use no AI whatsoever.
But if you are building it because doing so is in the long chain of cause and effect that leads to you being fed and having shelter, then you should minimize the amount of your time that is required to produce that end result.
Do you get better food, and better shelter if the software is better? It would certainly be nice if that was the case, but it's not.
> Not everything is about money.
Except for your job, which is primarily about money. Making it take less time, means that you have more time to focus on things that really are not about money.
By investing in quality on your job, your job will be easier and take less time. In software, you won't be called in to resolve that incident over the Thanksgiving weekend, and you won't be asked to debug why your system broke after someone committed 10k line diff without any review and without tests.
Be selfish! But be smart! On top of getting the best result for you, this gets the best result for the business too! And businesses know it, and even if they don't reward it proportionally, they do reward it with bonuses and seniority promotions.
Most people spend maybe 1/4 of their working age life at a job working for someone else. Why would you deliberately sabotage that by checking out mentally and waste all that time on sub-standard work? How do you expect to earn a promotion? You can produce good code at work and even better code at home for yourself. Deliberately producing slop at work will not help anyone.
Speaking only for my particular circumstances, the company is the vehicle that I use to do it for myself since it provides specialized facilities and equipment I wouldn't have access to as an individual or a founder. That I get paid for it is merely icing on the cake.
HN isn't selling anything, but without HN the founder feed would likely dry up (or maybe not, now they have critical mass) and eventually of course they're selling stock.
There's a lot more details here I didn't include for the sake of brevity.
The reason I haven't messed with it in 2 years is because the personal project I'm working on (an indie MMO) was put on the back burner. However, my "real job" has asked me to set up some VM dev boxes that we could remote into. They were the ones that wanted Azure, which lead me down the road of trying to set up some boxes on my old account.
When I couldn't, the autist in me wasn't able to just shrug and move on, so I spent the better part of the day trying to "get it to work" when I don't explicitly NEED it for this particular project.
