It's because the author is comparing that incident to how they were prepared with the bulk of their analysis in advance. Ready to publish as soon as it happened.

The downvotes are because the discussion isn't really about "which option do users prefer". It's actually about returning user choice. As the original comment said: "If I want a se…

You don't, you just cheese the level by slamming into the wall just to the left at the start and skip most of the course.

This is one of a bunch of issues that have been popping up since a vibe coder took over the bulk of development on this project. There's a (probably also AI generated) list of a bi…

I've been following litestream for a while, and it seems like the project has been hijacked by a vibe coder. I wouldn't trust it for critical tasks anymore.

Thanks for the kind words! I hadn't heard of tatoeba before, so thanks for sharing that as well.

Hi HN, I built Mandarin Melon (mandarin-melon.com) to scratch an itch as a Chinese learner. I've found with language learning that I learn best when I'm getting a lot of high quali…

Is that a "hard problem" though? Really?

Personally, as a DM of casual games with friends, 90% of the fun for me is the act of communal storytelling. That fun is that both me and my players come to the table with their ow…

Really cool project. A quick note, I had to dig in your FAQ to find your definition for LOQ: > "What does 'LOQ' mean in your results? > > Limit of Quantification (LOQ) is the lowes…

Viewport size and deciding where to paginate makes a naive approach to this surprisingly difficult. That being said, if you can control the css / html, you can often solve these pr…

It seems like before you think about monetization, you should think about how you can generate the amount of traffic you had in February repeatably. February had 6k visitors, but M…

I don't want to be mean, but this post has exactly the problem the person you're replying to was complaining about. The person you're replying to, I think, would like an explanatio…

A few ways: 1. An American company benefited from their labor 2. American consumers benefited from the goods / services they contributed to providing 3. American citizens benefited…

Please don't just copy paste LLM output into comments.

> Another way to look at this is you’re outsourcing your understanding to something that ultimately doesn’t think. You read this quote wrong. Senior devs outsource _work_ to junior…

The irony is that a valid reason for in-house developers to not want to use an external product is concern about the long term support availabilty for that external project. You co…

Agree! I bought my kindle in 2016 and have read hundreds of books on it. The cost per book at this point is in the pennies. It's not like you have to buy a new device every book, o…

I know you're joking a little, but I personally would love to see them! I'm very interested in how people manage simple deploys.

> type `print(function_name.__doc__)` Or even easier: `help(function_name)`!

The problem is that I'm not requesting Mozilla do anything. Firefox isn't a "service" it's a web browser. When I input a seach query, _I_ am acting on my behalf, not Mozilla. I don…

I think Goodhart's law only applies if you have fixed, published criteria for funding. That's why I mentioned transparency explicitly. I wonder if you could avoid some of the worst…

I think this is a really interesting model for providing funding to open source software. There's something about the "Index Fund" approach that is really appealing. I also think i…

That sounds like useful engineering, but not useful science.

3Blue1Brown has a fantastic video on GPT that I'd highly recommend called "But what is a GPT? Visual intro to transformers" [1]. You'll need to have some background in mathematical…
