Ask HN: Weekend Social: Top two programming languages and what they can borrow? 2 by susam | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hello HN! Just creating a weekend social topic here to see what kind of answers might come up in this thread. Here are the questions: 1. What are your two most favourite programming languages? (Call them A and B below.) 2. What is one feature from A you wish B had? And one feature from B you wish A had? 3. When starting a new project, how do you choose between A and B?

Ask HN: Where is society heading, is there a plan for a jobless future? 3 by evo_9 | 4 comments on Hacker News. For the better part of a past decade, probably longer, I've had a running conversation with friends and my father before he passed away about this. I would say to them - set the timeline as short or wide as you like, the writing is on the wall that eventually we will automate virtually all jobs out of existence. Then what? How does society function, how does the government handle this? What will everyone do when there are no jobs left to be done? How will the ultrarich handle the seemingly inevitable end of money and wealth as we know it today? I would argue that something like Universal Basic Income is necessary, and likely a short-term stopgap at best. While we might not reach AGI soon (or ever), that doesn't mean LLM's aren't going to continue to improve and continue to replace / displace job sectors - they're already 'good enough' to have an...

Ask HN: LLMs for new job categories? 3 by aavci | 2 comments on Hacker News. Now that LLMs have been mainstream for a few years, what new job categories have emerged or do you expect to emerge in the near future?

Ask HN: Is there any good open source model with reliable agentic capabilities? 3 by baalimago | 0 comments on Hacker News. I don't want to send my data to third party vendors all the time. But from my experience, the LLMs needs to be quite beefy in order to understand tool-calling, especially at longer contexts (200k+). Before I dive headlong into investigating this and spend money on a project doomed to fail, do anyone have experience with a local model which can handle this sort of workload? I intend to run it on decent gaming CPU with 64-128GB ram.

Terraform requires a DAG. AWS allows cycles. Here's how I map the difference. 3 by davidlu1001 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Error: Cycle: aws_security_group.app -> aws_security_group.db -> aws_security_group.app If you've ever seen this error while importing AWS infrastructure to Terraform, you know the pain. Terraform's core engine relies on a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). It needs to know: "Create A first, then B." But AWS is eventually consistent and happily allows cycles. The Deadlock The most common culprit is Security Groups. Imagine two microservices: - SG-App allows outbound traffic to SG-DB - SG-DB allows inbound traffic from SG-App If you write this with inline rules (which is what terraform import defaults to), you create a cycle: resource "aws_security_group" "app" { egress { security_groups = [aws_security_group.db.id] } } resource "aws_security_group" "db" { ingress { security_groups = [aws_security_gr...

Ask HN: How locked down are your work machines? 7 by donatj | 5 comments on Hacker News. I've been working as a Software Engineer for 20+ years. Places I worked in the early years barely had an IT department at all. As a developer you were expected to be able to maintain your machine. We'd install whatever we want, experiment with different operating systems, etc. Total free rein, box was our tool to get work done with, they didn't care how you did it. That went away a long time ago. Basic corporate spyware and rules came pretty early but still free rein over our tools. I've worked with the same company for close to a decade now, and they have been tightening and tightening the noose slowly but surely. We're purportedly a software company, but we lost admin rights, installable software went from a blocklist to an allowlist. Everything we install needs to get approved by IT, and that approval takes weeks. Today they took our Chrome extensions away. They've got...
