I wouldn’t say poor, fishing was the backbone for over a thousand years and generated its fair share of wealth, so did timber. Seafood is still second after oil, even if oil of course is much bigger. Norway benefits greatly from being a massive country with a small population and enormous natural resources. This makes governing far simpler compared to many other countries, and the culture is of course vastly different too.

I’ve only ever been to Lofoten but it was lovely, I think that’s how humans are supposed to live, too bad I can’t afford to move there.

This was the case at a previous job. Someone read some "state of devops report" or similar BS where they wrote that good teams ship often. They took from that it was shipping often that made good teams... And as a result we had some contrived deploy process on Slack with buttons and emojis and what not to deploy. Not a single customer saw any value out of this of course, because shipping something is not the same as shipping something valuable.

So I guess releasing 60 times in a working day proves that you're part of a good team /s

In a thousand years when the robots try to figure out human history they will short circuit when they try to solve the naming conventions of LLMs. Is it a natural law that the naming should be completely useless? Is the Fibonacci sequence hiding in here somewhere and we just can’t see it yet…

Too bad they didn't go for the fifth generation panels with RGB layout. I have one of those monitors and it's so good, text is extremely crisp and of course zero fringing. On retina it won't be as annoying as on a normal monitor obviously.

For me even just the config format is such an upgrade that it was worth switching. Just a simple text file I can backup anywhere and actually read without clicking in a tabbed GUI where I never seem to remember what goes where. iTerm2 still has that weird thing you have to export right?

This... It's weird how companies and people think adding something is the same as adding value. Feature creep was an issue even before AI, now we see one worse feature being added after the next (does anyone even know all the touch controls of iOS or even macOS, as an example), with some expectation of that there will be money coming in because of it.

I benefit greatly from AI myself, but I use it to augment my capabilities, not as a slot machine for building things nobody will ever use, which seems to be the norm based on the products I use.

I much preferred the fake photos—as in not photos of food served at that restaurant—than the AI generated images of food that doesn't exist at all on menus, as an example. I also hate that Etsy is now mostly an AI-image gallery.

A one-shotted POC can also put you straight into the very wrong direction, with a very high degree of certainty.

I also prefer doing a POC, but it's not without risk, especially if your stakeholders are just a bit too eager. Another problem I've seen is that a POC can hide complexity, so a lot of weight is on you as the author to do the due diligence before and bring that along.

How many thousand more datacenters would that need, and what would be the ongoing (massive) cost of deprecating hardware in that world?

Apple has a lot of actual money, Anthropic does not. Apple sells a lot of products, Anthropic doesn't. Apple have a platform multiple players want a piece of, Anthropic fight to stand alone.

There's very little comparison to be had here. Also, Anthropic likely have investors with way too much leverage for them to stop.

> A truly skilled developer who makes a genuine attempt should be expected to solve 99% of their tasks within the same business day as of October 2026.

What? You know there's only 24h in a day right? I work 8 of those and most tasks takes my agent far longer. And thats not including me correcting it, adjusting the spec so it does the right thing, etc etc. And I don't have anyone doing a PR waiting, I go straight into production.

I hope he validates the output, the number of times colleagues have done exactly that and gotten the wrong output is.. well, not an insignificant amount.

Not saying it can't be done, but my recommendation is still "ask your LLM to make a tool that process the data, do not process it via the LLM itself".

It’s the same bureaucratic hoops that allow for clean drinking water and fresh air. This wasn’t even something that was up in the air, it was well known the datacenter wouldn’t be built around the trees, the permits and everything else were formalities. To just blatantly ignore that is causing upset. And Google were well aware of all such requirements before they even started the process of acquiring the area.

This building will stick out as a sore thumb, a blind drone operator would hit it in their sleep. It literally does nothing for EU national security, as we’ve seen with how easily Ukraine destroyed Russian datacenters. Oh and it turns off in a second given orders from the US government.

Weird how many people on HN think this is about the count. Also it caused animal displacement from what I could gather, Google of course did this willingly and knowingly, because they know nothing will happen.
