Ask HN: Open-source AI policies and "responsbility"

Hacker News - Mon, 09/07/2026 - 1:19am

A common statement in a number of LLM/AI policies regarding AI assisted contributions across open source projects is that the developer is "responsible" for their contribution even if it was made wholly or in part by AI. I understand in layman's terms what this means and I can guess at the intent (essentially you can't blame claude for the code crashing) but responsibility as a word usually implies consequences. In the pre-AI times, were developers who submitted code that lead to crashes or bugs sanctioned in anyway? Perhaps if it were proven to be malicious (e.g. the Jia Tan incident), but usually bugs are unintentional no? What does "responsbility" even entail in open source projects and contributions?

Ask HN: Looking for an old submission about sneering culture

Hacker News - Sun, 09/06/2026 - 11:10pm

There was this blog submission from a while back talking about the prevalence of sneering culture within programming communities.

The blog post mostly touches on how dismissive people can be about other people's choice of programming languages or technologies. In particular, I think PHP or WordPress is brought up, though my memory is fuzzy.

I remember it being incredibly thoughtfully written and it left a big impact on the way I think. But for some reason I just can't find it again, no matter what keyword I use.

Does this ring any bells for anyone here?

Ask HN: What are other "uncrackable benchmarks"?

Hacker News - Sun, 09/06/2026 - 10:57pm

I have my own benchmark for AI just based off my Doctoral Thesis, which isn't public(university constraints). I am wondering if other people have other "hidden" benchmarks? I have a few I have made, and one wonder if talking about them devalues them, and two can a good test set be made that can't be leaked?
