    Honestly whether or not this was effective seems less important to me than the adoption numbers. Text book reading in this course was 10-15% at baseline ... but this AI thing got 9…

    Ask HN: Are cloud coding agents useful in real workflows yet?

    Objectively, cloud-based agents have several functional advantages over local ones: persistent environments, asynchronous execution, longer-running tasks, shared context across tea…

    Ask HN: In a blind coding test, could you identify an LLM strictly off vibes?

    If you were dropped into a coding environment where the underlying model was hidden (GPT-x, Claude, Gemini, grok, etc) do you think you could reliably tell which one you were using…

    yeah I'm mostly just talking about how they're framing it: "Claude Opus 4.6 is designed for longer-running, agentic work — planning complex tasks more carefully and executing them …

    Fair I agree that was true of early codex and my perception too.. but today there are two announcements that came out and thats what im referring to. specifically, the GPT-5.3 post…

    Whats interesting to me is that these gpt-5.3 and opus-4.6 are diverging philosophically and really in the same way that actual engineers and orgs have diverged philosophically Wit…

    This keeps repeating in different domains: we lower the cost of producing artifacts and the real bottleneck is evaluating them. For developers, academics, editors, etc... in any re…

    Let's say you live in an apartment building and your landlord locks you out and keeps you belongings. Police say its not their problem. Courts decide that they don't aare either. S…

    yeah the crazy part about that is one uncomfortable point many through history (and in threads today) have made is that nonviolence implicitly assumes a moral audience. And that in…

    This is a good articulation of mlkjr's theology and dicipline around nonviolence, but I think its incomplete if you read it in isolation. His strategy worked because it existed alo…

    I think the underappreciated part isn't "violence vs non-violence", but the role that malcolm x and black pathners actually played. They weren't primarily organizing armed revolt..…

    what kinds of tasks do you find this to be true for? For a while I was using claude code inside of the cursor terminal, but I found it to be basically the same as just using the sa…

    Comment #46391862

    I've noticed a lot of these posts tend to go codex vs claude, but as author is someone who does AI workshops curious why Cursor is left out of this post (and more generally posts l…

    Agreed... also fwiw I don't think that langauge-dependent games are as much of a barrier as it used to be. I've built a game recently that I easily localized first with real-time A…

    Im not fully convinced by "a computer can never be held accountable" We already delegate accountability to non-humans all the time: - CI systems block merges - monitoring systems p…

    LOC is a bad quality metric, but its a reasonable proxy in practice.. Teams generally don't keep merging code that "doesn't work" for long... prod will brake, users will push back …

    I think both experience are true. AI removes boredome AND removes the natural pauses where understanding used to form.. energy goes up, but so does the kind of "compression" of cog…

    nothing is inevitable IN THEORY... but in practice, systems that minimize effort beat systems that maximize agency. People want things to be simpler, easier, frictionless. Resistan…

    Most hilarious part of this is that if you've ever watched "The Challenge" then you know that these people, truly, often cannot add 3 digit numbers together let alone understand in…

    I generally like the daily habit puzzle games and I play a ton of daily chess, but this one doesn't give me much time to think and reflect on my moves (either pre or post moving on…

    One thing this really highlights to me is how often the "boring" takes end up being the most accurate. The provocative, high-energy threads are usually the ones that age the worst.…
