I strongly oppose the constant slander and the litany of lies partisan commenters post about Musk.
You don't get to throw out "fondness for throwing Nazi salutes" slander, based on an hoax immediately debunked at the time, and then act like you're doing democracy a favor. Try to stick to the facts.
Regarding the journalist discussed here, I had a look at his X account, and he posted no less than 20 posts attacking Tesla and Musk in just the last day. It's virtually all he posts, and it indeed appears deranged. The flagged comment was fair enough.
Seriously what is up with all the Electrical n apologists?
Dude's a nazi. Weaseled his way into everything digitally related to the American government and should be treated like foreign intelligence agent. He has oversold and under-delivered everything he has bought from other people to claim for himself.
Weird he's got so many dickriders on HN.

Are you claiming that this is not an accurate depiction of what happened on stage? (That is the video is in some form fake. A deep fake, or special effects, or an Elon impersonator or whatever.)
Or are you claiming that the gesture seen is not a nazi salute?
Probably not that you support the Nazi regime, as that would be a ridiculous thing to think.
Particularly so if a year before you visited Auschwitz and stated it was "tragic that humans could do this to other humans", and told us how you attended a Hebrew preschool and have a lot of Jewish friends.
There is a difference between paying 30% and 0.1% that goes beyond "precise maths".
It's an egregious share, and Apple is making an estimated $30 billion a year with this, at a margin perhaps more than twice as high as on iPhone sales.
It's not so much that I love giving 30% to Apple, and more that there is no way to move your business elsewhere because Apple monopolizes mobile app distribution.
And the other half of the mobile app market is monopolized by Google who copies the pricing model while delivering even worse (if any) service to developers.
It's either getting out of mobile apps or paying up.
This is not going to change without drastic steps by regulators, which both Apple and Google fight tooth and nail.
You know some of us remember Mac System [7|8|9] and how MSFT pretty much ruled everything (Apple had low %).
We kept working on the platform and developing tools and things changed. Of course Apple is a lot more powerful than MSFT back then and the general population is their target.
The only system where I had this happen was a Google Pixel 6a, where a system update irrecoverably corrupted all (encrypted) data which made it not boot on top.
It's particularly great Monday morning on your phone if you require 2FA to sign in to work.
I can't point to a single thing that Windows 11 does particularly well.
With my Mac mini M2 Pro, there's just too many bugs. It needs an annoying turn-off-turn-on workaround for it to even output to the second monitor. The liquid glass update initially made things even less stable.
Linux I swore off years ago, no distro ever survived either their system updates or my dissatisfaction after a year or so.
So here I am using Windows 11, and thanks to the more powerful hardware, it's pretty fast and smooth, outputting at 240 Hz.
The Xbox app is bad and I don't like the Microsoft store, but other than that I have no major complaints.
Yes you've nailed it exactly. It sucks the least out of all options. It blunders the least. With Linux I would run into issues more frequently with things that worked "out of the box" (like display drivers) so I just switched back
I find it hard to believe after running agents fully autonomously for a week you'd end up with something that actually compiles and at least somewhat functions.
And I'm an optimist, not one of the AI skeptics heavily present on HN.
From the post it sounds like the author would also doubt this when he talks about "glorified autocomplete and refactoring assistants".
You don't run coding agents for a week and THEN compile their code. The best available models would have no chance of that working - you're effectively asking them to one-shot a million lines of code with not a single mistake.
You have the agents compile the code every single step of the way, which is what this project did.
With the agent running autonomously for a long time, I'd have feared it would break my build/verification tasks in an attempt to fix something.
My confidence in running an agent unsupervised for a long time is low, but to be fair that's not something I tried. I worked mostly with the agent in the foreground, at most I had two agents running at once in Antigravity.
Then you should have no difficulty providing evidence for your claim. Since you have been engaging in language lawyering in this thread, it is only fair your evidence be held up to the same standard and must be incontrovertible evidence for your claims with zero wiggle room.
Even though I have no burden of proof to debunk your claims as you have provided no evidence for your claims, I will point out that another commenter [1] indicates there were build errors. And the developer agrees there were build errors [2] that they resolved.
I mean I interviewed the engineer for 47 minutes and asked him about this and many other things directly. I think I've done enough homework on this one.
I'm frustrated at how many people are carrying around a mental model that the project "didn't even compile" implying the code had never successfully compiled, which clearly isn't true.
Okay, so the evidence you are presenting is that the entity pushing intentionally deceptive marketing with a direct conflict of interest said they were not lying.
I am frustrated at people loudly and proudly "releasing" a system they claim works when it does not. They could have pointed at a specific version that worked, but chose not to indicating they are either intentionally deceptive or clueless. Arguing they had no opportunity for nuance and thus had no choice but to make false statements for their own benefit is ethical bankruptcy. If they had no opportunity for nuance, then they could make a statement that errs against their benefit; that is ethical behavior.
That is a good point. It is impressive. Llms from two years ago were impressive, llms a year ago were impressive, and from a month ago even more impressive.
Still, getting "something" to compile after a week of work is very different from getting the thing you wanted.
What is being sold, and invested in, is the promise that LLMs can accomplish "large things" unaided.
But they can't, as of yet, they cannot, unless something is happening in one of the SOTA labs that we don't know about.
They can however accomplish small things unaided. However there is an upper bound, at least functionally.
I just wish everyone was on the same page about their abilities and their limitations.
To me they understand conext well (e.g. the task, build a browser doesn't need some huge specification because specifications already exist).
They can write code competently (this is my experience anyway)
They can accomplish small tasks (my experience again, "small" is a really loose definition I know)
They cannot understand context that doesn't exist (they can't magically know what you mean, but they can bring to bear considerable knowledge of pre-existing work and conventions that helps them make good assumptions and the agentic loop prompts them to ask for clarification when needed)
They cannot accomplish large tasks (again my experience)
It seems to me there is something akin to the context window into which a task can fit. They have this compact feature which I suspect is where this limitation lies. Ie a person can't hold an entire browser codebase in their head, but they can create a general top level mapping of the whole thing so they can know where to reach, where areas of improvement are necessary, how things fit together and what has been and what hasn't been implemented. I suspect this compaction doesn't work super well for agents because it is a best effort tacked on feature.
I say all this speculatively, and I am genuinely interested in whether this next level of capability is possible. To me it could go either way.
That is correct. With the iPhone at home, you keep getting "Unknown tracker found travelling with you" spam on your Android, and the AirTag rings occasionally.
That is precisely what makes it such a bad experience compared to my work in JetBrains IDEs or vscode.
Together with an unfamiliar platform I also have to fight that weird IDE.
