A slight left-field suggestion, but have you tried asking this 'competent jerk' if he wants to go for a coffee (or pint, depending on your culture)? He might just not be aware he's being a jerk, have you tried having a casual

Some implementations of 3d secure load in an iframe, and the containing app waits for a postMessage from inside the iFrame to confirm that 3d secure has completed successfully If you can load your own content into the iframe, and can figure

Isn't that the case in pretty much every Country to a certain extent though?

Yeah I find LLM's very powerful in the right context, but I like to keep them at arms length I will go to them when I need something, instead of them spying on me incase I need something

For sure. I consider myself pretty on the ball when it comes to following this stuff, and even I've been caught off guard by some videos, I've seen videos on Reddit I thought were real until I realised what subreddit I was on

do you have an example of a particularly tricky one?

Yeah I just found that title confusing

Different prompts/approaches? I "grew up", as it were, on StackOverflow, when I was in my early dev days and didn't have a clue what I was doing I asked question after question on SO and learned very quickly the differen

I agree with the steerable angle, it's like driving a fast car with no traction control However if you get the hang of it, it can be very powerful

well I'm giving them the exact same prompts and comparing the output

"Of course! That's an excellent reply to my comment!" Joking obviously but I've noticed this too, I put up with it because the output is worth it.

Building out user interfaces in html and scss (mainly in Angular) You need to give it detailed instructions and be willing to do the plumbing yourself, but we've found it to be very good at it

I might be in the minority here but I've consistently found Gemini to be better than ChatGPT, Claude and Deepseek (I get access to all of the pro models through work) Maybe it's just the kind of work I'm doing, a lot of web d

Yeah this is how I did it the last time I setup a Windows machine, I set it up with my Microsoft account initially, created a new local account which was admin, logged in as that and then deleted the Microsoft account. I'm glad I barel

The last game I want to play is "Me Simulator" Right off the bat, I don't do "self-care" in the morning and I don't eat breakfast, so I can't get past #1

So what's the hack? I'm guessing there isn't one? Asking as it's "hacker news" after all, I remember reading how North Korean agents would watch shows like Friends for hours on end to become familiar with Engli

Gemini is terrible for this

And is also a pathological liar lol

I can relate to a lot of this. Where I find AI most useful is getting it to do tasks I already know how to do, but would take time. If you understand the problem you are trying to solve well enough to explain it to the LLM, you can get good

My problem is it keeps working, even when it reaches certain things it doesn't know how to do. I've been experimenting with Github agents recently, they use GPT-5 to write loads of code, and even make sure it compiles and "ru

Very cool, although couldn't help be a little disappointed when I realised they aren't actually landing on the moon, just cruising around it
