That's a problem for products that have been vibe coded to the bone. They may look slick, but behind the scene they can be ugly and fragile.

I've found really saddening to see students submit written-by-ChatGPT arguments to the department council when their university spot was on the line (for failing grades). This was their ultimate chance to prove their worth and they lef

The 145% tariff is so absurd I wouldn't be surprised to see cheap chips glued to the item to exploit the exceptions. "Oh yeah, that's not a shoe: it's the protective case for an ESP32 WiFi router".

Rereading myself it looks like I'm blaming Textual for being too much work to use but it's not the case! I wanted to say that powerful (T)UIs have inherent complexity coming with the territory: async, events, UI thread, reactivity

Ncurses has always been on my list of cool things I wanted to learn but couldn't invest the time to actually build something with. Then I found Textual (Python library, https://textual.textualize.io/ ) which feels like

What would be the best course of action for them if they don't win the appeal? I guess they don't really want to raise more money to put in the pocket of an oil company... Should they declare bankruptcy and start all over again?

I had one extensive exchange with ChatGPT to generate an image of a man and a woman working together on a leather crafting project. No matter the prompt, the man was systematically the one "working" and the woman being there to

There is a real problem with the connector design somewhere: der8auer tested with his own RTX 5090FE and saw two of the cable strands reach concerning temperatures (>150ºC). Video timestamp: https://youtu.be/Ndmoi1s0ZaY?t

That's also why HyDE (Hypothetical Document Embeddings) can work better when the context isn't clear. Instead of embedding the user question directly – and risk retrieving chunks that look like the question – you ask a LLM to hall

(Tangentially related) I had to run the desktop version of Excel to develop a quick VBA macro for a client. Problem: I've been developing on a Linux box for years and the idea of leaving my cozy dev environment for a plain Windows inst

Double-entry accounting is like strongly typed programming languages. Yeah it's a real pain to get started because you need to understand the core concepts first then fight to balance the transactions ("compile errors") befor

I finally understood the weirdness of tokenizers after watching the video Andrej Karpathy made: "Let's build the GPT Tokenizer" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zduSFxRajkE ). He goes through why we need them

It may be a grandma's tale but tick and mosquito preferences seem inversely correlated. My girlfriend is loved by mosquitos but I get ticks more often.

Feels like one of those psychological tests used to induce stress before evaluating other tasks (knowing the person is on edge). Any test that needs 100% accuracy to pass when you are under pressure, filling ambiguous and unimportant questi

What an ego trip... now I'll definitely stop considering WordPress, even if it perfectly fills the use-case (mine or client's). I know it was frustrating for Automattic to see WPEngine as a leecher, but to be this hostile and vola

Related to pricing and contracting with clients, this talk by Mike Monteiro (accompanied by his lawyer) is a gem: "F*ck You, Pay Me", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVkLVRt6c1U

I went the other way (hourly -> daily) and found it much more enjoyable. I have multiple clients and it's clearer for everyone what days I'm available for them. Otherwise I might juggle between "urgent" work for two c

Python dataclasses are a good start for internal use. They are just a bit of a pain to serialize/deserialize natively. When it comes to that, I prefer to use Pydantic objects and have all the goodies, at the cost of some complexity.

Yes, it's an antique pill press sold in August. That same listing was flagged three times by their bot because of policy around pill presses and molds, ending in a permaban.

In the end, he really took the "scorched earth nuclear approach". Small problem: the land become inhabitable and nobody wants to touch this radioactive dump. My thoughts are to the devs with clients on these platforms; they are go

(Obviously not a lawyer) Overlooking the AI part, isn't it a gross misrepresentation of Jeff's opinion or an unauthorized use of his image? By using his voice, it creates an implicit (fabricated) endorsement for their product and

Noob question but who will get the fine money in the end? At least in the Apple case (also on HN frontpage) it's clearly taxes owed to Ireland.

I prefer the completely opposite view: nobody is there with a special purpose, we are all trying to figure what the heck we should do. It seems less welcoming but if you haven't found your place, is it really helpful to be told "k

The "fundamental attribution error" is a bias where people attribute their own success to their inner abilities and other people success to external circumstances. (It's the reverse when thinking about failure) For the second

One example I like because it's so telling: driving. Over the course of their live, people drive a really long time. But after 10k hours, are they racing pilots? (Some drivers can't even park properly...)
