I'm Done Using AI 5 by nyxtom | 0 comments on Hacker News. I think I'm done using LLMs altogether for coding. I've lost the ability to maintain any kind of flow state, the majority of the time I've spent thrashing on architectural changes that I could have done myself, tests that get manipulated into passing, and having to sift through the magic 8-ball of skills that are intended to get work done (all caps dont do this, please do that). LLMs appear to be fruitful as essentially a research search engine but I'm pretty much done with them for coding. This has been an enormously expensive waste of time and to add to it a general atrophy of skill.

Anyone seen a CC- serial prefix on legacy networking hardware? 19 by Throwaway_sys | 6 comments on Hacker News. don't want to file a decom report with a gap so I figured I would ask here. On a contract job clearing out a data center doing routine stuff like taking inventory and audits before we decommission hardware. The issue is there is one node that keeps coming back that isn't in the documentation. ip is in the 46.28.x.x range Its not in the facilities registry though. Ran it through RIPE and ARIN to find nothing. The latency is what is getting me though. 0.4 round trip every time. Tested from multiple machines including a phone on LTE to get the same response time. That should theoretically mean I am right next to the machine which doesn't make sense across three different connections. Checked the physical hardware and it's nothing I've ever seen before. Not standard 1U or 2U ports maybe proprietary. serial format is: CC-[4 digits]-[2 digits]-[6 alphanumeric...

The AI tool discovery problem 3 by meenabhagvat | 2 comments on Hacker News. I've spent the last few months researching and categorizing hundreds of AI tools. One thing that surprised me is that building AI products seems to be getting easier, while getting discovered is getting harder. Every week, new tools launch for writing, coding, design, research, video, and automation. Yet most users end up using the same handful of products because discovering alternatives is difficult. I've noticed that users often search for solutions to problems rather than specific products. They want to "transcribe meetings" or "generate presentations" rather than find a particular tool. For founders building AI products: How are you solving the discovery problem? What's driving the most meaningful users for you today—SEO, communities, social media, partnerships, directories, or something else?

The AI cost is going to create a new excuse for mass layoffs 4 by user2132141 | 3 comments on Hacker News. So everyone always talks about the scenario where for example a CEO fires 3 out of 5 devs because the remaining 2 can just use AI to do the same amount of work. When that happens, people get pissed because it’s obvious corporate greed. You’re firing people just to make more profit by not having to pay those extra devs, not because you can't afford them. But I’ve been thinking about a different angle that’s way more messed up and likely where we are heading soon. Just recently, I've read about companies that had monthly AI bills get into millions of dollars. Some smaller companies could really be facing bankruptcy if they don't cut costs. Firing 3 devs just to keep the lights on then stops looking like "greed" and looks like survival, basically avoiding going out of business. You could make a moral argument "just stop paying for the AI and keep the hum...

My client is replacing me with Claude for all DevOps/infra and most feature dev 10 by goatwrangler | 1 comments on Hacker News. The last straw was showing up on Monday to a new vibe coded kubernetes cluster and migration plan for all cloud run services. One week after his vibe coded feature and vibe hotfixes kept the sites up and down for over a week before I stepped in and simply reverted the Claude junk. I chose not to support the new direction so he's moving forward without me.

Tell HN: Meta's AI support feature allows Instagram accounts to be stolen 8 by parable | 2 comments on Hacker News. If the AI support option is enabled for your Instagram account (it appears to be A/B tested for only a percentage of accounts), anyone can hijack it with little effort. Simply get on a proxy or VPN close to the account's region, then ask the agent to send a code to an arbitrary email address. Once you receive the code, pass it forward to the agent, and it'll provide you with a password reset link which you can then use to sign into the account. Posting here for any Meta employees who may be reading. This flaw has been around for at least a few days and has been used to hijack over 100 high-value Instagram accounts. The correct patch would be to disable the AI support feature entirely for the time being until this is sorted and revert accounts and usernames that have been hijacked over the last few days. This is a pretty important flaw and it's currently...
