Does anybody here have a frontend development workflow that works well with coding agents? In my experience coding agents ship buggy, broken, incomplete, or awkward frontend featur…

this is not super productive, but not including “Germany has Goethe” in the opening line turned me off immediately

+1. This thread, the thread about documentation, and the thread about turning off Sprites, when taken together, thoroughly illustrate why I'm not currently a Fly user.

I don't have an opinion on the matter, but it's pretty popular. According to [1], Phoenix "was used extensively over the past year" by 2.4% of responders. [1] https://survey.stacko…

I really appreciate his iconoclasty right now, but every time I engage with his ideas I come away feeling short changed. I’m always like “there is no such thing as outside the trai…

The answer to (2) is, IMO, "to make computing cheaper". It's interesting to me that this is not the obvious, default answer (it may not be the most actionable answer but IMO it sho…

I feel like the Netflix tech blog has officially jumped the shark.

I've always felt like the argument is super flimsy because "of course we can _in theory_ do error correction". I've never seen even a semi-rigorous argument that error correction i…

Your second paragraph is basically what I'm saying but with the extension that we only actually care about reasoning when we're in these kinds of asymmetric situations. But the asy…

Perfect reasoning, with certain assumptions, is perfectly deterministic, but that does not at all imply that it's predictable. In fact we have extremely strong evidence to the cont…

IMO verifying a solution is a great example of how reasoning is unpredictable. To say "I need to verify this solution" is to say "I do not know whether the solution is correct or n…

One thing he said I think was a profound understatement, and that's that "more reasoning is more unpredictable". I think we should be thinking about reasoning as in some sense exac…

The issue isn’t with who’s hosting, it’s that their SDKs don’t clearly integrate with existing HTTP servers regardless of who’s hosting them. I mean integrate at the source level, …

I see a good number of comments that seem skeptical or confused about what's going on here or what the value is. One thing that some people may not realize is that right now there'…

This looks like a hard maybe, thank you!

Hmm, maybe. I could run a server on my laptop and have the wifi/bt mic stream to it. But I really want this to work on the go, and having a running laptop, or Pi or whatever, at al…

I basically want a microphone with a button that starts and stops recording and live-streams the recorded audio to a programmable backend. I don't care if it's an app or a cheap-is…

It's funny how, after years of hearing his voice and not seeing his face, seeing his face puts me in smack in the middle of the uncanny valley.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD Edit: On a more serious note, this book actually changed the way I think in a very concrete (and positive) way. The book spurred me to start consciously ref…

I love Neuromancer specifically for the first third or so, so maybe the latter? IMO the first part of the book is peak cyberpunk vibes. In particular I read it almost like I would …

if you zoom out far enough, there's no other option (imo)

I think it’s basically “HN is extremely hostile to iconoclastic ideas”

Hmm. My first thought was that I shared non-public links, but I double-checked I can access them from another machine.
