> if HN continues The NN revolution which started 15 years ago cannot be understated - if anything, some areas are not progressing as fast as they should and some of us are nervously waiting. Have you actually multiplied the weight of submissions in your mental model by how consequential each one is? Because we are still submitting even more idle "intellectual curiosities" - but these are in no way "times of static p…

What does the "NN" in "NN revolution" mean?

Neural networks.

> I can prototype working projects in possibly 1/30th the time, and I can do them simultaneously. This takes all the fun out of programming for me.

I have the same "1/30th ... simultaneous" experience with coding agents, and I am having fun. Directing teams of agents to solve many problems (or create many useful things) for me has its own fun challenges/puzzles-to-solve. Some of the fun is redirecting coding agents when they get stuck, by showing them code or design they could not work out on their own. Some of the fun is designing tools to rein-in AI coding age…

Sure, if that is what you like. I for one did not get into this field because I wanted to hire people (artificial or natural) to write the programs for me. Programming as an activity / art is what I enjoyed the most. Managing people / agents is a total turn off.

Both of those examples wouldn't have gotten traction in the pre-AI HN in my opinion. The Lenovo laptop jet is experimental and the details suggests that it uses 7.5w to cool 30w. That's not very efficient. You might as well have a small fan and let it spin at a low RPM to reduce noise. There doesn't seem to be a breakthrough here. The Brax industries one is just an ad from the company's official Youtube channel. I do…

> and the details suggests that it uses 7.5w to cool 30w. "Secondly, AeroBlade reportedly uses four AirJet Mini modules rated at roughly 7.5W each , theoretically amounting to 30W of cooling." How about some less skimming of the text before you jump the contrarian gun? > I don't think the product is interesting at all. Which one?

Looking into it more, it seems like the actual consumption is close to 1W per module, for an approximately 1:7.5 ratio. Regular fans are still likely more efficient, but the other advantages of the "AirJet" make it interesting.

Variants of your Ask are a regular thing around here. Lots of stuff still floats to the top that's non-AI but traction is as ever a challenge somewhat. Stuff moves fast around here.

There's also https://unslop.news , which removes just the posts about AI, rather than all posts that mention it at all

"Ironically, this project was built with AI coding and uses AI to filter out articles about AI. Go figure."

An AI slop to filter out AI slops -- the pinnacle of AI.

Sadly this would not end just as a joke. We'll be doing this forever from now on.

The way you're responding to the comments in this thread just makes me dislike your idea even more. You want the site to be curated with things you like instead of what the community upvotes. That's it.

> You want No, bud. That's what your projection says. I said clearly I suggest HN curate more or give tools to self-curate. > The way you're responding How am I responding? > makes me dislike your idea even more. OK.

You are taking comments in this thread as personal attacks, when the they are not.
