Isn't there a workflow where you scan a QR code to confirm the pass key on your phone? I've definitely done this, but not sure if the workflow was at the OS or browser level. I'm honestly confused by all the negativity in the

> buy a new phone, I make it a "primary", and keep my old phone as "backup". Sadly this is why I never end up trading in my phone. Always feels too risky to not have an overlap period.

I was under the impression that front-running was something that happened in the span of seconds (or milliseconds), not a timeframe compatible with LLM inference time.

English as a 2nd language speakers often have better grammar than natives in my experience! I wouldn't be surprised if the average native english speaker doesn't know the different between there and their.

What I really dislike is having to edit my own non-LLM assisted writing to make sure I'm not accidentally confused with AI. I caught myself writing "And that matters because..." in a HN comment but had to edit myself. Also m

> It seems like raw egotistical hubris. 1) Humans have a bias / tendency to attribute human qualities to things that appear or act human, but aren’t. 2) When that happens, people jump to conclusions by stretching the human analogy t

I always wonder what makes people take the other side of this argument. They do it quite passionately. Why actively encourage viewing LLMs as human? Who is that benefitting?

To me, it’s the equivalent of “HN is turning into Reddit” - it’s just a complaint without adding to the discussion.

HN already has a feature for that. Just flag the article!

The entire market is subsided more than it is competitive. The market wouldn’t exist the same as it does today if it weren’t being propped up. Thats the point. I remember the days when I had a $2000+ credit balance on Uber because I mastere

It’s good to be aware when you’re buying something that’s subsidized. No need to downplay the importance of awareness.

This is partly why I like to read HN comments. People here go above and beyond in ways I would never bother. Reading other's experiences saves me from going through it myself. There's no need to test mail services first hand. Just

Maybe we should look at paid media as a honeypot. Without paid media, marketing spend gets pushed to “organic” and “content marketing” aka blog spam and other crap.

Aversion to AI speak will turn into desensitization. And desensitization will eventually turn into a preference for AI speak. (Perhaps not the HN crowd.. but definitely for the average Joe) People prefer reading things in a tone/styl

Now compare that to why people don’t want Claude in their commit messages or PR descriptions. Clearly there’s no pride in using agentic coding (if anything, maybe it’s the opposite of pride..). I don’t think most developers want to publiciz

Out of curiosity, do these Claude commit messages fall into the same category of "it's annoying but not worth the effort to turn it off"? If yes/no, why?

Funny to compare it to “Sent from iPhone” that Apple appended to emails by default way back when. It was an ad, but nobody cared because using iPhone was a point of pride.

And what am I supposed to do when I hit a wall solving a problem? Just sleep on it? Sarcasm aside, I think there's a real phenomenon of AI removing the experience of getting stuck on a problem (where often I'll wake up the next da
