Thank you. The guy being this upset about it is telling. The agent is in the right here and the maintainer got btfo; still going on whining about it days later

Please say this is sarcasm.

thank you thats what im talking about

Happy to see investment in sbt and the stdlib

Sad to see code coverage tooling called out as something they’re spending money on

Happy to see scala get sponsorship


The lead maintainer of sbt does it as a labor of love. I am very curious if he actually will be receiving any money.



Because the marginal profit of scaling labor is zero or negative?


Workers typically bring in more revenue than they are paid otherwise they wouldn’t be hired.


You actually bolster his point by using search as an example: search has been completely eaten alive by a better alternative (ai chat).


Opus 4.5 and update your priors. This was certainly true >6months back and is no longer the case


We are using the latest stuff. Our experience is still not great.

Why do you guys always assume we don't as though the oldest models are easy to use accidentally


I have a feeling that the HN hypebeasts have a lot of overlap with the folks that previously used to copy/paste blindly from StackOverflow.


It’s an easy deflection. Dismiss any opinions because you’re using it wrong or not the latest.

Good for anything >= 1 month old.

Use other nonsense fear inducing argument in the mean time, continue gathering gobs of VC money, get your bag, continue till the bubble pops.

In all fairness, and putting hype and anti-hype aside, I’m really interested to see the actual value of LLM/agent services after the VC money subsidies dry out. Would people we willing to pay for services at 10x the current price?


I read the same exact thing 6 months ago.


Yeah bro thanks for the tip and few shillings to you good sir. I was here still using GPT 2 because they said GPT 3 might be too dangerous.


I’m actually good friends with Jacob Kiplimo. He swears that the reason he was able to have such success in the half last year was by exclusively breathing through his nose during training.


Idk isn’t copying someone else’s work verbatim boring to you? Usually i try to do at least 15-45minutes of novel research in physics/math with my morning coffee


Even if the govt lights the money on fire we still get the benefit of fewer cars in lower manhattan.

What in particular about the MTA would you change?


> What in particular about the MTA would you change?

Remove the diversity compliance requirement from bids, e.g. [1]. Open up bids to any firm in the nation and select winners based on cost and competence only. Subject the MTA to a forensic audit every ten or twenty years.

Usually diversity requirements don't come with lower competence requirements. They usually require people to be competent and then also equal opportunity. Or are you suggesting that all non-white non-male people are incompetent?


> diversity requirements don't come with lower competence requirements

They come with certification requirements. The one that RFQ lists are NYC specific.

> are you suggesting that all non-white non-male people are incompetent?

I’m saying a local-only bidding pool will necessarily be smaller than a national one. And requiring local certification guarantees the former.

I’m objecting to diversity compliance. Not diversity requirements. (Though even there, one needs to be cognizant of how quickly intersecting requirements can rapidly cascade the candidate pool to small numbers.)


Ignore that person they don’t know what they’re talking about lol


Ask hn does anyone else have bad taste
