Hey HN, I frequently create GitHub repos for new projects and sometimes have to rename them to keep things organized. To make renaming easier, I built a CLI tool that helps to keep…

Google likely knew of this issue, but you need to understand that DEI-related missteps are judged a lot more harshly by the society than other types of errors. So, for Google this …

Neither of the links works

Talking about what I did/what I’m planning to do on a regular cadence forces me to reflect on my time spent and makes me more focused. I also love hearing what others are up to bec…

Quora merging “all related” answers onto the same page is one of the most annoying things about it. I switch it to “Answers” 100% of the time.

They should have a separate term for this, like “over-the-air recall”. This sort of thing will happen more and more often as in-car computers become more relied upon.

When I first started to program professionally, I was fascinated with the blameless postmortem culture that my ex-employer had. I thought (and still do) it is incredibly conducive …

To see why Apple’s mandatory commissions are absurd, compare phones to desktop computers. There is no fundamental difference between the two. So, why is it okay to install whatever…

This is curious but saying that “single typo cost the USPS 500 million dollars” is misleading since they got it all back in the end.

Amazon Q is powered by an LLM that is not very capable (there are no official benchmarks, AFAIK, but the community consensus seems to be that the level is akin to GPT 3.5). I wrote…

For all we know, the death could have been fabricated and the guy is still alive under another identity. This isn’t entirely unreasonable given Iran would have probably tried to ki…

Cumuli Chrome extension adds a side panel with LLM chat to all AWS pages, and lets you add screenshots of the console to your queries to get context-aware responses. It's similar t…

Spoiler - no big reason other than it was available and I thought it sounded cool

Hi HN! Salami is an open-source DSL that lets you declare Terraform-style configurations with natural language. The compiler uses LLM (currently GPT-4) to convert natural language …

Cool idea, PM me if you're still searching for a co-founder. Cheers

To see if maybe they changed their ways without telling anyone?

My anecdotal experience as a part-time web dev instructor was not great - I recently quit after just 6 months. A small handful of students were curious and driven, but I have the i…
