I have always used HN for consuming tech news. I was trying to say that these days, I really love following the developments in AI and among the most erudite audience for that can be found here, which is great. You extrapolated that to assu

Your suggestion would break my use case: i.e I check out HN every day to see what the latest models that have been released are, and opinions from erudite people who have taken them for a spin. Keeping abreast of fast moving AI developments

What does 'Astra' here mean? Surely they must be referring to the Latin word. Because in another dead language of antiquity, Sanskrit, it means "weapon". Which would be a bit too on-the-nose.

I live in what's probably the outsourcing capital of the world (though I thankfully don't work in those body shops). I don't think there's going to be a rush to outsource. In fact, I suspect that it's quite the oppo

Firstly, I don't think it will be just 2-3 companies that fail. Due the circular investing between companies in the AI ecosystem, the fallout is going to be much bigger. Secondly, even with that being true, I think open models are a gr

Another way of rephrasing that though is that the public (including large pension funds, retirees, etc.) just dodged a bullet and aren't left holding the bag. Nevertheless, I doubt anyone's going to emerge unscathed when the valua

If what you're saying is true we are moving into an era where rockstar product managers are going to be more in demand than programmers since they can do all of what you mentioned above. And typically (though not always) product manage

This has fabulous potential if implemented right. To all the detractors, I would like to point out that your opinion of kids needing a good human teacher is overfit to your experience of having had some of those growing up. In third world c

Some of the issues mentioned above like dead code removal, code duplication, unreachable code are already solved using deterministic linters for quite a while now for most language ecosystems. You can get the LLM to run a script which check

You're right. This is a different technique. This is my simplification of the TM technique along with "japa" (repetition of a phrase) as is typically taught in the Brahmin scripture school mileu. Since the OP was about achiev

Hi HN, I built (yet another) webapp (PWA) for looking up guitar scales and a bunch of other tools. https://guitar-tools.eejalab.xyz/ There are plenty of other tools already that do this but hopefully this one adds some qual

Yup, it started out with me trying to figure out how the 'CAGED' shapes 'fit' with the pentatonic boxes. And it then kind of evolved from there with me adding more tools to help me learn the guitar. Thanks for the feedba

Honestly this is more reflective of the poorly defined free speech laws in India that are full of caveats and carve outs. Politicians and other public figures in India routinely take detractors to task using defamation laws. I guess now cor

Fully agree and I don't see why more people aren't talking about this. World population in early 1800 was around a billion. As recent as 1928, it was only 2 billion. We added 3x that number in the last 100 years! I see population

Yup I have run into the same. I use a pre-commit hook to run `pnpm check`. I missed mentioning it in the original comment. Your reply reminded me of it and I have now added it. Thanks.

The post touches very briefly on linting in 7. For me, setting up a large number of static code analysis checks has had the highest impact on code quality. My hierarchy of static analysis looks like this (hierarchy below is Typescript focus

I have tried learning it and as far as I can tell, what makes learning CSS rather cumbersome is the fact that you need to memorize too many factoids and gotchas to be effective with it. Not that this cannot be overcome with some kind of spa
