I think you first need to make an assumption of good faith on the submitter’s part. Yes, someone actively hostile to a repo and trying to sneak in changes will be successful, they …

I’m teasing a bit, yes your point is well made, you could just prompt around it. I think the bigger picture is there isn’t going to be some magical panacea that fixes this, we’ll j…

You’re absolutely right - AI is not just capable, it’s on the leading edge. It’s not about vibes, it’s about results. (It’s famously not well capable of sounding human)

The foundation points out something that has always been true, but AI has really brought to the forefront, that any contributor, including AI, could potentially not be relied on to…

As long as I can connect my 3D TV, I can't wait to sip some Juicero and watch Quibi on it.

I love these simple games that take 2 seconds to understand the rules. Off by 6 on my iPad by mis-clicking. Very satisfying!

Literally installing Arch right now as I read this. Same deal, been using windows as my daily driver all my life but have been running Linux servers since late 90s (and did daily d…

Surprised this is apparently the less popular stack. IDE (VS Code) on windows working out of WSL has been so good for a long time now.

Can definitely relate. Last "job" was a startup with two other people and it was so great having others to bounce ideas off of and share the ups and downs. Building something toget…

I think we'll start to see AI as any other tool that can atrophy your natural faculties. You can use a wheelchair to get everywhere, but your leg muscles will start to wither, but …

Design is one of those things that succeeds or fails in subtlety and both are difficult to quantify and back propagate through any sort of process, let alone training a model. The …

I've been using AI like this as well. The code-complete / 'randomly pop up a block of code while typing' feature was cool for a bit but soon became annoying. I just use it to gener…

Hey what was the book out of curiosity?

Other than putting screen timers on all my apps, I've found that physically leaving my phone in other rooms to be helpful. Also recognizing it as a problem and acknowledging "Agh, …

There seems to be an army of people on Twitter making $100k MRR from AI Tinder photo enhancer apps and they have a course to sell you. This is the same brand of person that was exc…

I've noticed a huge uptick in this brand of "entrepreneur". I think everyone who was inspired by devs like LevelsIO, limped their way through some code academy tutorials and was di…

I have a Plex/Radarr/Sonarr setup on my home server. I've made a landing page so it's extra easy for my parents and friends to add media. It's been really wonderful, everyone knows…

You gotta do the classic bouncing logo from The Office.

Damn, got me :(

Hello HN! I have a group of friends who are professional artists and they are not big fans of generative AI. I've tried my best to explain what it is and isn't and a few of them ar…

I think the goal of minimizing hallucinations needs to be adjusted. When a human "lies", there is a familiarity to it - "I think the restaurant is here." "Wasn't he in Inception?",…

Of course they were high, it's British Columbia.

I haven't worked on games in about 10 years, but I wrote core tech for AAA games during the 2000's. Stuff like async I/O, reflection, memory allocation, low level networking, and e…

I've been working on this site for the past few months. It's pretty interesting to let it sit in a big city, such as London with the Olympics going on, and see what sort of photos …
