I noticed you pointed out that the logo was "hand-drawn in Procreate" . Is the code the same or were portions of it generated using an LLM (which was almost assuredly trained on lo…

Agreed. That's half the reason that no matter how accurate a virtual synthesizer can be (like the Mac App Moog Model D), there's just no substitute for being able to physically fid…

I have a rough time calculating how much more productive AI tooling has made me, because when it does save me time (simple mocking, greenfielding, proof-of-concept), - it saves me …

This entire post reeks of astroturfing - almost every single comment here is from accounts with 1 karma. OP didn't even take the time to remove the em-dashes from the blatantly obv…

It's a fun little game - the minimalistic UI/UX suits it well. I'd consider lowering the volume on the music. It doesn't really feel like it suits a casual puzzle game either.

I feel like I see this A LOT these days. If you do a Show HN (for example) and your project is directly inspired by somebody else's who came before you, the least you can do is giv…

It has always been this way. How many people who grew up on text terminals, and despised GUI-based utilities that are essentially just thin graphical wrappers on top of a CLI tool …

I love when people say this, because everyone has a different relative arbitrary starting point for the term "basic". So let's take you, for example. How far back did you start ? D…

I don't know a lot about this particular approach but your comment that it's just using Google results is blatantly false. It all depends on the search engine that the brave user i…

This comment makes zero sense considering that mod/XM type tracker files are mere kilobytes in size as opposed to a streamed OGG or MP3 file which is megabytes.

VS code is written using electron, so as with all tools, it can be done right. There's a nonzero chance that you've probably used it yourself.

Just to set the record straight, by all accounts, Ralph Baer was the inventor of pong, and Nolan Bushnell later copied it. https://youtu.be/1LsRGUODHlQ

Back when I majored in computer science, 20 years ago, mine was an equal combination of computer architecture, theory of information, mathematics, and some electrical engineering.

Vitriol aside, you need to chill for a bit and touch grass. "Training" doesn't really have a well-defined meaning, I could use your website to train something as simple as a histog…

Then you give notice and look for a sane work environment.

It's not an ad hominem attack, a second year CS student is highly unlikely to carry the experience of years working in the industry in order to be able to answer this question with…

It is really hard work and it takes a certain maturity and disposition for selflessness to be good at it. I think it's easier to be selfless about it if you don't have any ambition…

If that's true, then you're only exacerbating it by attacking "said thread". Furthermore, threads raising the issue of googles seemingly erratic depredation of their products and t…

The value is that it provides context around googles substantial issues with long-term support for their products. So anybody who's new to hacker news or even new to the tech world…

"There are lots of cool uses for NFTs in game settings." Rolls eyes. NAME ONE.

Agreed. Also Patreon, subscribestar, and on and on and on. NFTs are solving for a non-existent problem.

Agreed, I'm still in the process of painfully migrating my domains over from Google domains to Cloudflare.

+1 For the fractal torrent case. I will warn that it's fairly massive in size but you're building a PC so really who cares? It also makes it extremely easy to put together a build …

As long as it's done in relatively good faith, I'm not entirely opposed to this sort of thing. I'm especially OK with this if the OP is presenting their product as if it's the firs…

What? It's only one file, and it definitely looks like it's using openAI to make the actual queries. qa = ConversationalRetrievalChain.from_llm(OpenAI(temperature=0.1), db.as_retri…
