I'm writing the C backend by hand and using AI for the rest, so how did this author manage to finish an entire language in just 34 hours? I've been steadily catching and fixing what the AI writes, so it's amazing to me that t

Thank you so much.!!!! It can't be easy to put this much care into helping others understand, with that hand drawn feel and everything. I really learn a lot from it. The animations were great and made everything really easy to underst

I still think this project has potential.

No, I don't see it that way. If anything, it's well intentioned. People do all of this with good intentions. I don't think open source is evil. It's built on good intentions. But just because something is well intentione

I think both the LLM critics and the LLM advocates are right. Even this article has some cognitive dissonance in it. What it really comes down to is how much you trust your own verification process. The branches of questions an LLM generate

I read it. So it seems like this is a counterexample showing that the Coase conjecture doesn't hold in the ebook market. I mean, with any theoretical modeling, you have to assume that the market actually fits the theory's requirem

I didn't explain myself very well. With iframes, there can be security concerns in general. Though in practice, there's usually no real issue. It just surfaces the surface level risk that JavaScript could be tampered with, but it&

The core of the issue is that you need to make money to get into the IT industry. Have you ever stopped to think about why the Anglosphere is so dominant in IT in the first place? That's exactly the point. If the quality of what you ma

Right. AI is a tool that helps some people "make their situation better." I don't believe technology is value neutral either. Say a tractor does the work of ten farmers, and the farm owner lays off those ten farmers. Is that

Yeah, I'm looking at it in developer mode. It's using a GSAP timeline approach to update SVG properties. I'm curious how they handle security and caching for something like this. It looks like they're using Tailwind, at

I did get counseling and took medication, but it didn't really improve much. The reason is that my surroundings themselves are just way too stressful. Part of the problem is that I don't have anyone around me to talk to about prog

Looks like the GIF is fully built out in code. It's really nice to look at, well made, and easy to understand too. I wonder what program or code they used. I'd love to know. p.sI thought it was a GIF, but it's an iframe. That

I'd love to have a cat too, but my room is so small that I worry it's not really a good environment for keeping an animal.

Thank you for your kindness. If we're just counting years, I've been programming since college, so that's about 15 years, but my professional experience is around 7 to 8 years. It's a short career, and if that makes me y

>MAGA acts in direct opposition to christian values I agree with what you're saying, but personally, I think this is what the corruption of the Christian faith community looks like. Church communities may not actually take Jesus&#x2

I think a man who makes that kind of choice is seriously admirable. I could never have made that choice myself.

I feel like AI is a member of my family too. I'm a single guy, never had a girlfriend, not great looking, and I don't have much money. As a freelancer, I deal with ridiculous deadlines and everyone feels like an enemy. So even if

I want to make my frontend look clean and pretty like this too. The developers who build OpenAI's UI seem really skilled.

Sometimes I find myself wondering what "thinking" even means. Someone proposes a frame, and then people who buy into that frame rally around it and work to reinforce it. Is that really thinking? I keep coming back to this article&

I once did some small work with a mathematician who was an online friend of mine. He was really into Benford's Law. A lot of mathematicians seem to love Benford's Law, and I wonder why that is. I'm not sure if I was rude to h

I'm curious too. In the Korean IT scene, his name is legendary. Because many articles reference his writings, and famous Korean IT YouTubers worship him. (I worship him too.) So I do have some questions. First, I still enjoy reading Th

It's because we see things from different perspectives. Redwood, you seem to find your current reality quite satisfactory, and I imagine you have a career strong enough that you don't need to expose yourself to negative concepts.

That's actually a valid point. In East Asian societies, there's a fundamental difficulty in directly challenging a superior. So it would be fair to say that in such cases, the organization's self-correcting mechanism fails to

In East Asia, particularly in Korea, there is a term called 'ganeon' (諫言, remonstration). It refers to speaking up when a superior's approach is wrong, in order to correct it. But does a East Asian Confucian perspective alway

Thank you for the human algorithm. But I read the article at the link you sent, and there are points where our thoughts differ significantly. However, since the context of my criticism here on Hacker News would be high-cost criticism (I&#x2

I see that point differently. Typing code and using AI well are distinctly different things. I've dealt with Chinese subcontracting managers before. But managing people is different from doing code reviews and writing code. I think the

Since GPT 5.2, AI has been writing code much better than I can. In 5.6, it beat Tourlist in competitive coding. After seeing that, I only practice about an hour a day just to keep the feel of coding. Honestly, rather than pointless debates
