A vibecoded petition with no clear expected outcomes and no actionable items whatsoever.

Is it just a honeypot to get names and emails? Why would people sign something like that?

You and I can smell vibe coded slop miles away. Most people can’t.

Local models are looking better and better each day. Still, not as capable, but you can be sure that nobody will take it away from you at a moment's notice.

IMO if numbers on Socket.dev can be trusted, then impact seems rather small (luckily). It also makes sense — I know some packages from the affected list, they're heavily outdated and their upstreams aren't maintained anymore.

Other than this — I don't know how many there are affected people in total, but AUR team probably has an exact number. I am also sure, they're doing their best to handle it accordingly to the impact.

Orphaned packages, so other people are able to file requests and take over them. That's how AUR works — it's community-driven [0].

I'm so glad that the LLM hysteria at $WORK is barely scratching the surface. These Twitter-brained CEOs are living in a completely different reality, so I am really happy I don't have to experience it firsthand.

IDEs made by JetBrains are huge. At this point, they're basically the standard option for several JVM languages.

You can't expect the average person on HN to admit to using a JVM-based language. That would mean they write boring business software rather than cool ad surveillance tech.

I'm always taken aback a little when I read through HN and see how little mind share Kotlin and its ecosystem has here. JetBrains has done a pretty good job of creating something that can fill many different niches (especially considering they're not one of the giant tech companies with virtually unlimited budgets), but it seems people don't even realize it exists, for whatever reason. It doesn't even need to run on a JVM in many cases, if that's some sort of barrier.

> Same with PCs... do you really want to run that *.exe you downloaded from that cool site you found?

Yes, I am fully capable of making decisions about what software to run on my personal hardware on my own, thanks. I don't need Apple or Google or Microsoft to make this decision for me.

They're trying to fix social engineering. It's simply not possible.

You don't need to belittle someone else's work. It's a series of articles, and author has 2 more articles that aren't related to articles Ciechanowski wrote at all.

It's not? The only 2 options available there are last gen Strix Point (AI 300 series).

This doesn't sound quite right, I think they put a wrong price there.

Bottom cover alone goes for more than that, even without battery or speakers: https://frame.work/sg/en/products/laptop13pro-bottom-cover-k...

Agreed - $255 sounded too good to be true. Fingers crossed it doesn't end up too crazy, because that chassis looks good!
