Friendly PSA that you can add "udm=14" as a query string to a Google search to get just web search results. Then you can set your browser's default Google search behavior to do this automatically when entering anything in you

English teachers aren't really there to provide you books you'll "like" or else they'd just be assigning the latest teen melodrama. They're instructing you on the different ways the English language has been us

I think about the genius who suggested adding the "Repeat" in "Lather, Rinse, Repeat" on shampoo bottles.

It'd be interesting to see how HN from 2023 would react to this statement.

We could say the same for the first factory-made clothes. Not as nice as the hand-tailored ones, looking a bit "off" when people wear them compared to custom-made, but orders of magnitude cheaper and more convenient.

>but you cannot even inspect the instructions those agents are working off of? It makes more sense when you realize they don't want developers to be doing any coding at all. That's what they seem to be moving towards. From prod

They should refrain from using AI if it turns more people off to their ideas than it turns people on to them. There's no need to invent "AI police" as a big baddie here. A strategy for people who feel they can't write is

I got a month-long Eurail pass in the mid 2000s. It was a great experience for me. Only a few places I chose/needed to buy a ticket. I don't know if it's still a good value, though.

It would really just save everyone a lot of time if we just said "branch" instead of "race". We all branched off from some shared ancestors somewhere back in the mists of time. We're all cousins from different branc

Possibly, but I can't imagine a writer taking that kind of chance at the height of the Cold War just for verisimilitude.

I think state-of-the-art AI is going to be defense industry only from now on. We can have our toy drones but not the Predators and Reapers.

I think the author of the website should next work on some kind of alerting system for the owners of these webcams to let them know they're exposed and how to make them private. Then everyone could get what they want: voyeurs can watch

I don't think it needs research the person developing just has to care what the website looks like. A lot of people just want functionality. But there are also pre-made front-end skills that do a lot of that front-end "taste"

He seems to be a good coder with poor judgment. But I think it would be wiser to manage him better than to fire him so long as he recognizes what he did was wrong. I'm a bit of a softie for the clueless, brilliant coders, though.

Yeah for a side project I just switched over to DS4 and between Pro and Flash a few days ago I've spent $1.96 both for code work and some large LLM text processing tasks. It feels to me as good as the last version of Opus I was using (
