The unbearable slowness of AI coding

The Unbearable Slowness of AI Coding 19 Aug, 2025 I’ve been coding entirely with Claude Code for the past two months. At first it was exhilarating. I was speeding through tasks. I was committing like mad. Now, as I’ve built up a fairly substantial app, it’s slowed to a crawl. Ironically, the app I’m building lets me parallelize many instances of Claude Code at once. Often, I’ll have 5 instances running while I’m thinking about new features. The slowness comes in when I actually need to revi

LLMs and coding agents are a security nightmare

Last October, I wrote an essay called “When it comes to security, LLMs are like Swiss cheese — and that’s going to cause huge problems” warning that “The more people use LLMs, the more trouble we are going to be in”.

High costs and thin margins threatening AI coding startups

In February, AI coding startup Windsurf was in talks to raise a big new round at a $2.85 billion valuation led by Kleiner Perkins, at double the valuation it hit six months earlier, sources told TechCrunch at the time. That deal didn’t happen, according to a source familiar with the matter. Instead, news broke in April that the startup planned to sell itself to OpenAI for roughly the same valuation: $3 billion. While that deal famously fell apart, one bigger question remains: If the startup was

The 1090 Megahertz Riddle: A Guide to Decoding Mode S and ADS-B Signals

news.ycombinator.com Junzi Sun 2025-12-06 04:54:34

In the last twenty years, aircraft surveillance has moved from controller-based interrogation to automatic broadcast. The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is one of the most common methods for aircraft to report their state information like identity, position, and speed. Like other Mode S communications, ADS-B makes use of the 1090 megahertz transponder to transmit data. The protocol for ADS-B is open, and low-cost receivers can easily be used to intercept its signals. Many rec
