At least for Neovim, there are many official or community-made AI autocomplete plugins, and a bunch of chat interfaces as well

> I expect within the next ~2 years AI tools will produce a better compiler than gcc.

Building a "better compiler than gcc" is a matter of cutting-age scientific research, not of being able to write good code

Given that GCC is in the training data, it should not take much research to create an equally good compiler.

If reproducing data from the training set counts, then creating an equally good compiler is a matter of running `git clone` :D

They have am email in their privacy policy, which is generally where you should look if you want to delete your account

Did you even open the article? It claims it's the best language to use with AI, not the best language to develop AI

Bots regularly try to bruteforce domain paths to find things like /wp-admin, bruteforcing subdomains isn't any more complicated

> Bots regularly try to bruteforce domain paths to find things like /wp-admin

Sure, when WordPress powers 45% of all websites, your odds to reach something by hitting /wp-admin are high.

The space of all the possible unknown subdomains is way bigger than a few well known paths you can attack.

You can, but most email providers will immediately reject your email or put it into spam because of missing DKIM/DMARC/SPF

Exactly. See also this sentence:

> Look at who’s about to get angry about OpenClaw-style automation: LinkedIn, Facebook, anyone with a walled garden and a careful API strategy.

Browser automation tools have existed for a very long time. Openclaw is not much different in this regard than asking an LLM to generate you a playwright script. Yes, it makes it easier to automate arbitrary tasks, but it's not like it's some sort of breakthrough that completely destroys walled gardens.

Do they not? Many phone functions are already available through voice assistants, and have been for a very long time, and yet the vast majority of people still prefer to use them with the UI. Clicking on the weather icon is much easier than asking a chatbot "what's the weather like?"

My elderly mother has an essential tremor (though only in one hand now due to successful ultrasound treatment!) and she would still rather suffer through all her errors with a touch interface than use voice commands.

Some people seem to think that Deckard’s speech-controlled CSI software in Blade Runner is actually something to strive for, UX-wise. As if it makes any sense to use strictly nonvisual, non-two-dimensional affordances to work with visual data.

The sad part is that while everyone is chasing new interface modalities, the traditional 2D UI is slowly getting worse thanks to questionable design trends and a lack of interest.

When you post a comment on HN, the server inserts HTML tags into your input. Isn't that essentially the same thing?

No, because there is a clear separation between the content and the envelop. You wouldnt expect the post office to open your physical letters and write routing instructions to the postmen for delivery

But I agree with sibling comment: it makes more sense when its called "encoding" instead of "inserting chars into original stream"

> You wouldnt expect the post office to open your physical letters and write routing instructions to the postmen for delivery

Digital communication is based on the postmen reading, transcribing and copying your letters. There is a reason why digital communication is treated differently then letters by the law and why the legally mandated secrecy for letters doesn't apply to emails.
