It won't work because of too many false positives. People are already trained to ignore warnings, like how they blindly accept T&C without reading.

If a giant red warning saying 'THIS APP MAY BE MALWARE' doesn't stop someone, then they've either made an informed choice to proceed or it's willful negligence. In other words, users aren't 'trained' to ignore warnings; they're simply being willfully negligent.

If this is a thing then the solution they offer is incorrect. A big giant red screen: “warning the identity of this application developer has not been verified and this could be an application stealing your data, etc” would have worked.

What they want is to get rid of apps like YouTube Vanced that are making them lose money (and other Play Store apps)

It's such a simple and effective solution that could be implemented overnight and 'help to cut down on bad actors who hide their identity to distribute malware, commit financial fraud, or steal users personal data' tomorrow. Mission accomplished, internet saved, and everyone's happy just like a fairy tale out of the early 2000s.

> They're amazing. But the moment you try to do the more "serious" work with them, it falls apart rapidly.

Sorry, but this is just not true.

I'm using agents with a totally idiosyncratic code base of Haskell + Bazel + Flutter. It's a stack that is so quirky and niche that even Google hasn't been able to make it work well despite all their developer talent and years of SWEs pushing for things like Haskell support internally.

With agents I'm easily 100x more productive than I would be otherwise.

I'm just starting on a C++ project, but I've already done at least 2 weeks worth of work in under a day.

Hold the phone. So, Google, with its legions of summa cum laude engineers, can't make this stack work well, but your AI agent is nailing it into next week? Seriously, show me the way, so I too may find AI enlightenment.

Basically a heist too big and too fast to react. Now every impotent lawmaker in the world is afraid to call them what they are, because it will inflict on them wrath of both other IT corpos an of regular users, who will refuse to part with a toy they are now entitled to.

OpenTelemetry is anything but simple.

If anything, that's an understatement.

Hi HN,

I’m excited to introduce telemetry.sh, a service designed to streamline telemetry measurement in your applications. Our API/SDKs accept any JSON object, making it easy to get started with just a few lines of code.

Under the hood, telemetry.sh converts JSON into Parquet schemas, stores data in S3, caches data locally based on tenant locality, and updates metadata stores for fast querying.

Once your data is in our system, you can leverage our AI-augmented UI to quickly write SQL queries in plain English. We also offer robust visualization tools, including line charts, bar charts, and scatter plots, to help you easily plot and understand your data.

We’ve prioritized team collaboration by integrating teams and memberships as core features, making it simple to work with your co-workers on telemetry coverage and analysis.

Additionally, our query API allows you to integrate your telemetry data into your own products or internal dashboards seamlessly.

This project has been a labor of love over the past year, and I’m thrilled to share it with the HN community. I look forward to your feedback.

Thanks,

JR

I went down the telemetry rabbit hole a while back because I couldn't find an analytics/event log that met my needs. Nothing fancy—just a basic API to log certain events with some pretty graphs to display the data. I ended up building my own solution; however, telemetry.sh seems like it could have met my needs, but information on the site is sparse. Is this an interface for DataFusion, something akin to InfluxDB? It looks like a nice project, but some additional documentation (like you've detailed here) and use case examples on the site could go a long way.

LLMs are undeniably remarkable, but their wheels start to fall off once you go beyond the basics and a few party tricks. The cynical part of me thinks this tracks pretty well with our society's tendency to favor appearance over substance. Yet, if my burger order gets messed up, I don't fault the restaurant; however, if an LLM messes up my order, the same cannot be said. As a seasoned human, I feel confident saying that we humans love blaming other humans, whether it's justified or not.

So while I initially thought customer-facing roles would be front and center in the "AI revolution." Today, I tend to think they'll be bringing up the rear, with entertainment/smut applications at the forefront along with a few unexpected applications where LLMs operate behind the scenes.

I feel reasonably confident that most of the people who are making these hyperbolic claims either don't understand programming at a deep enough level to make the claim or are trying to sell you something.

I'll throw my hat behind this horse because, honestly, if I was just learning to code, I would have probably quit by now due to the frequency of these types of comments. LLMs have certainly improved at an impressive rate, and they're fairly decent at producing 'Lego' blocks. However, when it comes to block building—the real meat and potatoes of programming—they're, at best, bad butchers. Building functional systems is hard, and it's simply something LLMs can't do now or perhaps ever. Or I just don't know how to prompt. 50/50.
