    Great article. Nice pragmatic and cool-head take on what is going on. Thank you for posting this. Side note: I so forgot about the "Don't make me think" book! Thanks for reminding …

    A good example of how a wrong assumption ruins something (in tech, products, and life in general). I love the feature idea, but the assumption that a sudden brisk run equals theft …

    You seem to contradict yourself, or at least actually support the OP's point. If you don't define yourself with your job, but have other self-identities outside, there is nothing s…

    Oh wow, not so long ago the sentiment was exactly opposite. Python community was struggling with tools and everyone wished to have `gofmt` for Python. Granted, this is a linter, no…

    100% agree, I am upgrading my projects now. And yet, I have mixed feelings about this. I like to think that when I (was) writing code myself, I applied a great deal of intuition to…

    Did I miss something? Aren't public key are supposed to be public? To be clear, that's an honest question, not sarcasm of anything. I only assume I don't know about some corner cas…

    I am pretty sure SpaceX already booked "Skynet" for the name of their next Grok model. It is fitting on so many levels.

    Professional techie and amateur bowler here. I am bowling on old-ish lanes, and the stats we have beyond the score is... well, ball speed only and it barely works on half of the la…

    I think it does. It sounds generally human to me. And I am not an American FWIW.

    That's a trick question. Should we include the tokens consumed by the organizers' AI to validate the submissions? AI-generated comments in the discussion thread?

    I fear another related possibility. With *so* much money on the table, if this new industry shrinks or collapses, it is hard to believe that it will collapse same way dot-com did, …

    You could say it works perfectly well, it is identifying indeed. Of Claude and of people who use Claude's raw output instead of expressing themselves.

    > 67 themes Hm. Most users usually need 0 or 1 of those at a time. Makes me question other choices in there.

    Preach. I would love to see all email like this. I learnt this in my very first work place and will never get the trend of starting every email with "I hope you are doing well". I …

    Ask HN: Is it just me or does Claude / Sonnet 5 sound condescending recently?

    I have noticed recently that Claude Code often sounds condescending, especially when explaining things. I feel being treated like child, gives me an impression of watching a Sesame…

    It is fun to imagine paleontologists, some millions of years from now, whatever species they will be themselves, finding a fossil of this cockroach and trying to explain it. One th…

    There is one side effect of running your LLM locally: you stop thinking about the token budget. I often run `/goal` with no limits, or script an endless loop in bash to run opencod…

    With respect... I am surprised such a low-quality analysis is published on stanford.edu . What is compared here? What is the purpose of this? What are the conclusions of the analys…

    IronRDP web client apparently uses Beer CSS. I go agree, though, it is a questionable choice for a showcase.

    That's such a pity. Building a simple AM radio receiver was a simplest and coolest electronics project to do with kids. You need two transistors, a ferrite coil and a small set of …
