So the worst case for stealing is… returning what you stole…?

I can’t really decide. Punishments for crimes need to be enough to prevent people from doing them. Guy made millions of dollars fraudulently, what’s an acceptable punishment if it’s not jail time?

Same thing with big companies. They knowingly break the law because the punishment is less than what they gain from it. There’s no incentive not to break the law at that point.

> That makes no sense unless you're claiming that the models are getting worse at writing code.

A hypothetical scenario is it needs to add two numbers so it writes add(x,y).

Later on it needs to add three numbers so it writes add(x, y, z)

Then it needs to add four…

Layers upon layers. A human would likely notice the pattern and refactor so add accepts a list.

I have had a very different experience so far. The more code AI writes for me the worse it gets. It gets more complicated and it’s harder to follow and understand. It doesn’t refactor, it layers on top.

Even worse is that it’s hard to do anything about it at this point because reviewing code is very different from writing it, so even if I’ve seen it all I don’t have that same deep level of understanding that I do when I write it myself.

All these AI code bases are ticking time bombs. Either AI gets smart enough that it won’t matter in the future or we’re going to have a huge mess to clean up.

Can you elaborate for a Hyundai owner?

Isn’t that what the agents.md in your project is for?

It’s always a hassle trying to find a time for our friend group to hang out, it can seemingly go on for hours. Everyone shares what days they’re available, someone suggests a time, it works for all but one, and the process starts again. That works! Makes the process way easier: when you set your availability it highlights time blocks that works for everyone.

It was a fun use of bitmasks; all availability is stored in 30 minute blocks (0001110000 would represent 1.5 hours available in 5 hours total) and then I use the AND operator across them all to find matching slots.

My problem with hard mode is it leaves a lot up to luck. If it was 3 letters and ended in “at” it could be pat, mat, bat, hat, cat, rat, sat, etc. so all you can do is to pick one and hope for the best.

I only shared because it might very well be cool stuff but if people are tired of AI writing and close it like me then it’s a lost opportunity. Not publishing at all is a bigger loss though, so it’s a tricky balance.

The only way to get better at writing is by writing.

I’d rather read a less polished but clearly human written article than something clearly written by AI. If I can’t tell I can’t tell.

Use it for editing or as a review but the weird hyperbolic AI stuff makes me instantly close an article. I barely got past the intro:

  ONE ATTRIBUTE. EXACT BEHAVIOR.
  
  The markup says what happens.
  
  Start with local behavior. Add the server only when the interaction needs to cross the wire. The attribute is moo= — in case you were wondering what the ox says.

HN needs an AI flag or something. Not sure how well it would work, but worth an experiment.
