Very surprising results!

This resonates- my engineering workflow has started shifting from highly focused, long periods of building out a feature to one that has much more context switching, review, and te…

Hey HN! Have any software products (preferably web applications) you've always wanted to see built out but never had the time to implement yourself? I'll pick one idea from the com…

Hey HN! I've been wondering for a while how we might be able to make the process of evaluating the politicians we vote for more transparent. In the most recent SF election- for exa…

Over the past few election cycles (local, state, and national), I've generally had a difficult time gathering enough information to determine which political initiatives or represe…

Bizarre- the repos I looked at all had obvious signs of being GPT-generated. Some examples 1) https://github.com/Jrbiltmore/Quantum-Transformers/blob/root... - notice the ChatGPT-r…

In case this sparked anybody's interest, I went through the tweet's author's course on RL [1] recently and it was extremely insightful. I heartily recommend it (slides, lectures, a…

Hey! I happen to be building something very similar in my free time- started off as a hackathon project. Feel free to reach out! Only spent around 10 hours on the current deployed …

I ran into the same issue out of nowhere with my Spotify app a few months ago- after hitting around 300 users. Apparently, Spotify has a limit [0] on their API quota for auth (arou…

This seems like a great practical framework- I've noticed that establishing habits like the ones you mention are the only reliable first step to long projects in my life. Very curi…

Hi HN! For a long time, I've wanted to learn how to build projects which "bridge" the gap between software and hardware. I've learned to solder decently well and operate 3d printer…

Agree on relatively strict self-selection being a necessary component for any thriving community. Also, most (dare I say all?) of my friendships have been formed not because I stum…

I've thought a bit about this issue and technology's potential role in fixing it. A generalized app that promises community isn't going to reach mass adoption outside of an extreme…

What would you have them study instead? If you're optimizing for what AI is least likely to be able to accomplish, some forms of blue collar labor would probably rank highest on th…

Which restrictions specifically? What's your use case? I'm curious because I've completely shelved some projects when I realized I wouldn't be able to prompt GPT to respond in a na…

I've found that the single highest leverage modification I've made to my daily schedule is decreasing the number of tasks on my todo list (which I write out each night for the proc…

Seems like a great idea, but a heads up from https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html > Off topic: blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those …

Fascinating that the human benchmark is 63%- I wonder what the benchmark would look like were it to have been established, say, 30 years ago, before the prevalence of LLMs; I'd wag…
