> No WebGL Why is this an advantage? I have a GPU and I'd rather it was used. As-is, one of my CPU cores is pegged at 100% just rendering the landing page.

Presumably because its an intentional throwback to the era when most people didn't have a GPU?

What’s up with filtering of clearly low effort AI posts here? Every now and then I see this crap here. And people even engage into discussion. This is ridiculous.

https://github.com/apresmoi/glyphcss I wouldn't call it low effort ... seems to be done over the course of months. I agree it's absurd that those 4 commits started this morning projects that get huge hype and screaming fanboys, but I don't think this is that.

Is that what I'm doing wrong?

If I start a new project this morning, push about four commits to it, and bang it up on here, it'll go to the front page? I'd love for anything I've done to get that much traction ;-)

Lol the AGENTS.md:

> NO Co-Authored-By: Claude trailer. > NO " Generated with Claude Code" footer in PR bodies, commit messages, issue comments, or anywhere else.

I actually have a much better idea how to use AI responsibly: Simply don't use Claude to completely vibe code AND COMMIT your code.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is vibe-coded, in the bad sense, because of this line. There is no workflow that lets Claude write code AND commit, without PRs, that includes review by a human.

This is not the HN I signed up for. I don't mind AI use, responsible AI use, but zero oversight has not worked and will not work.

Gosh, It's so hard to be excited about any software project nowadays, because I cannot know how much effort was actually put into it. For all I know the author merely wrote a few prompts and paid Anthropic for the tokens. Good job I guess?

"I actually have a much better idea how to use AI responsibly: Simply don't use Claude to completely vibe code AND COMMIT your code."

I usually open a new chat in the ide and ask it to "generate a commit message", then i copy paste it.

This means that if my code was written 20% by me and 80% by Google Antigravity, and Claude then adds a Co-Authored-By-line, then i think it's wrong. All it did was generate a commit message.

I think simply stating the extent of AI use openly is a good start. For example, this is what I've done on my hobby project[0]. I feel like an AI use disclosure page or document helps, especially when you didn't vibe-code but still used AI in a somewhat responsible way (for review, for writing tests, writing CI pipeline stuff, etc.).

The only consistent things I've heard is volume. You gotta effectively spam and some things stick.

It also has to be cognitively stupid to understand - the least amount of knowledge or suppositions required.

I've found myself on the front page maybe 5 times... Someone else posted my stuff.

I find the algo game to be morally repugnant so I don't play it. I just build things and hope they're useful to the right audiences
