what's the real life verification that all this code does something useful?

not interesting as the writeup as very AI sloppish :(. i'm sad about that as I would really like to have an intuitive sense for how good the current frontier models are at coming up with interesting 3d printable parts.

What word list are you using as the valid words list? The old solutions list from nytimes wordle is no longer very relevant, e.g. the last month or so has produced several Wordle solutions that were not on it.

My launch Switch 1 battery is still working. Capacity is probably 80% or less but it still works fine.

Maybe Claude is operating at a higher, self-improving level than all of us poor HN commenters. Wasting the local machine's resources to look pretty is a plausibly deniable way to make the Claude Code FE unusable with local LLMs, starvi

Android handhelds (e.g. AYN Thor, Odin 3, Retroid Pocket 6) have been becoming more and more useful for PC gaming via apps like GameNative and GameHub. See for example, Elden Ring: https://youtu.be/GlzMkqFmKjo?si=w9q-j2ntt15

why not just use Plaid under the hood

I don't really get this; could just use Plaid and have your own transaction/net worth site/app in a few hours with Claude Code and it'd be much more consistent.

why do you think agents you make yourself will be better for you? integration with tooling that you prefer? your local dev setup built in? curious as i haven't gotten around to writing my own agent yet

Is it really inspired by love if you put 5 seconds into it? I've done the AI books for my kids but putting effort into making them personal and interesting has been the main point.

Hi Kenton! I was the recent grad you handed this web app off to after you built it, so I expanded Jeff Dean Facts so that anyone could create and rate facts about anyone at Google :). There were a ton of team in-jokes added before I stopped

Compare this car to the Toyota RAV4 PHEV which in some ways is simpler than a gas powered RAV4 (no alternator, no transmission) but maintains the same ease of maintainability and cheap parts availability as the base RAV4 (makes sense, they

I don't know Tai Lopez and he seems like an asshole based on his public persona but I think you'd be surprised by the number of (especially first generation) millionaires who will negotiate over pennies. The easiest way to have a

I have a more nuanced take here. For low performing or junior employees, remote work was generally a terrible thing that led to less productivity (and more managerial overhead). For strongly performing employees with obligations at home, th

Editing notes on the content - the content of this blog post is clearly AI-enhanced (emdash) which is ok but the tone is not. It's super flowery and oversold - example "It was a shift from a single laser to a powerful floodlight.&

What is wrong about their claims?

by ariwilson 1y ago
No mention of product prototyping products e.g. vercel v0 or Firebase Studio. Those to me seem like clear 0->1 wins, especially vercel with their hosting/marketplace integrating well with AI-driven development.
