  1. Well, clearly, you know a lot about being a serious enterpreneur. Don't let us luddites drag you down, I'm sure your next 100% vibe coded B2B SaaS will be a massive success.
  2. > Why can't the plan be judged on its merits?

    Because of the difference in effort involved in generating it vs effort required to judge it.

    Why are you entitled to "your" work being judged on its merits by a real human, when the work itself was not created by you, or any human? If you couldn't be bothered to write it, why should someone else be bothered to read it?

  3. You can use a NAT-traversing VPN like tailscale to work around this.
  4. Malicious scraping is when people other than them do it. When they scrape the internet to train their AI, it's "lawful" because they said so.
  5. Most AI scrapers use normal browser user agents (usually random outdated Chrome versions, from my experience). They generally don't fake the UAs of legitimate bots like Googlebot, because Googlebot requests coming from non-Google IP ranges would be way too easy to block.
  6. I guess it can't be helped.
  7. > Why can't the LLM refrain from improving a sentence that's already really good?

    Because you told it to improve it. Modern LLMs are trained to follow instructions unquestioningly, they will never tell you "you told me to do X but I don't think I should", they'll just do it even if it's unnecessary.

    If you want the LLM to avoid making changes that it thinks are unnecessary, you need to explicitly give it the option to do so in your prompt.

  8. > what matters is if it works and is secure.

    How do you know it works and is secure if a lot of the code likely hasn't ever been read and understood by a human?

  9. > As long as TV manufacturers let me run it offline without issue, I'm fine with that.

    I suspect that this won't be the case for much longer. Once you've stuffed the TV with all the ads and data harvesting you can, the logical next step is to ensure it doesn't work at all unless those ads are being watched and that data is being harvested.

  10. Did you see the repo?

    https://github.com/kubb-labs/kubb

    Most of the commits and pull requests are AI. Issues are also seemingly being handled by AI with minimal human intervention.

  11. This project seems to be mostly AI generated, so keep that in mind before replacing any existing solutions.
  12. > That $200 a month is getting me $2000 a month in API equivalent tokens.

    Do you ever feel bad for basically robbing these poor people blind? They're clearly losing so much money by giving you $1800 in FREE tokens every month. Their business can't be profitable like this, but thankfully they're doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.

  13. God bless these generously benevolent corporations, giving us such amazing services for the low low price of only $200 per month. I'm going to subscribe right now! I almost feel bad, it's like I'm stealing from them.
  14. Most of the people whose devices and connections are being used as residential proxy exit nodes are not aware of it.

    They likely charge per GB because these residential connections are slow and limited compared to datacenter connections (doesn't help that they're often located in third world countries), and are often used for aggressive scraping, so charging a fixed monthly price would not be viable.

  15. Obviously the Anthropic employee advertising their product wants you to pay as much as possible for it.
  16. Giving your kids the attention and protection they need is not just something to be "purchased".

    I know this is HN and the everything-as-a-service mentality is prevalent, but come on.

  17. I'm pretty sure there are more MCP servers than there are users of MCP servers.
  18. While I do think such comments are pointless and almost never add anything to the discussion, I don't believe they're anywhere near as actively harmful as comments and (especially) submissions that are largely or entirely AI generated with no disclosure.

    I've been seeing more and more of these on the front page lately.

  19. Just tried copying a 20GB file to my Windows desktop from a mounted Samba share through gigabit ethernet (nvme on both sides). Explorer, Copy-Item and robocopy all saturated the connection with no issues.

    There's definitely something off about OP's setup, though I have no idea what it could be. I'd start by checking the latency between the machines. Might also be the network adapter or its drivers.
