At least 3 times a week, someone on the r/Collatz sub-reddit says: "I came up with a proof for Collatz and had ChatGPT/Claude verify it and it thinks I'm a genius." It's so common,…

Lack of versioning in workspaces. Multiple times I've been "vibe coding" my way happily through adding feature after feature until ... the chatbot goes off the rails and breaks stu…

Also, the repo doesn't say what it is good for or provide a preview of the syntax beyond show("hello world"). How about putting all that "learn" and "getting started" HTML on a web…

The death of entry-level math and CS jobs is greatly exaggerated, I believe. First, costs and ROI of AI are on a collision course and companies are finding they can't simply lay of…

Things I teach my children (and parents): 1. AI/ML is not an oracle. It is neither wise nor omniscient. Never rely on AI for advice (I tell them the pizza glue story). Never rely o…

I like your argument, not because it is a good analogy for AI but because it is a good contrast. Copyright isn't a guarantee or magic force field blocking fair competition. It is a…

Does he WANT worldwide eternal Jihad against the US/West? If there's a better use for "Some people just want to watch the world burn" in the history of the world, I can't think of …

That's brilliant. Very intuitive and useful. - I'd like to see this as a hosted app versus something that has to be "installed" in a chatbot. - It needs a text search feature for b…

At minimum, you have to provide a snapshot/example of what you're building. I'm most intrigued by your comment pile digestor. I've often wanted something like that while cruising t…

I agree with you this would be valuable, mostly for persuading the general public. The skepticism you're getting amounts to "biased people/government won't care no matter what" and…

Right, the analogy would be "What does being a builder mean if carpenters are swinging the hammers?" We'll have to be software "Foremen" who develop plans and know enough algorithm…

I'm intrigued and might need something like this but... Your splash page doesn't give much of an idea of what this app does (far less than what you said in the comment above). IMO,…

Asking or just forgot a link?

What's the link? Or is this a joke about Hacker News' comment section being a "simple text editing tool"?

OP's math checks out: "Steam has generated $16B+ in revenue" Valve employs "between 325 and 375 employees" $16B / 350 = $45.7M per employee According to Google "Valve Makes More Mo…

Your only operative complaint is "confused." What are you confused about? The high-level goals and requirements? Your own approach and criteria for success? Structuring your time/e…

You still haven't described fully what the user sees before and after a step.

The rule that stops this cold for me is: "Note that the distinct numbers being sorted would be hidden. That is, all the nodes in the partial order would look the same." So, you poi…

Love this idea! This could also be a way for social discovery that studios could promote: Imagine a rack of album cards at Target where each costs a $1 and lets you play samples of…

Even if your observations/findings are brilliant, you can't be taken seriously unless you're published in an academic journal and you can't do that "cold." Basically, the prerequis…

Sounds good! My only observation is that, wherever possible, make it easier to see/scan-for text content. So my text gets lost a bit in: @a-bunch-of-markup My Text is here@ Maybe a…

True. Wide-adoption makes markdown hard to beat. However, I _would_ like to see a better alternative. My #1 feature request would be simple styling (beyond bold, italic, etc.) Spec…

Suggestion: Describe what your app actually does and what value it brings instead of relying on people being aware of an obscure app (I've never heard of it) like OpusClip by name …

I agree with this. Create a MVP for a side business, build your email list of users, and iterate, iterate, iterate with improvements until people are beating your door down to pay …

Two suggestions: 1) Your site is very wordy. It comes across a lot more "tell" than "show." How about _showing_ QR code links, _showing_ form/survey links, _showing_ analytics, _sh…
