The job market sucked. The average job was paying less than $1000/month. I was getting freelance work that paid better, but they weren't actually paying what they promised. I started selling crackers and coffee with my wife, until

"No plagiarism machine needed, just human-made music" From wikipedia: Many Daft Punk songs feature vocals processed with effects and vocoders including Auto-Tune, a Roland SVC-350 and the Digitech Vocalist. Bangalter said: "A

They're different impulses. Some want to consume. Others want to create. TikTok and social media is a strange mix of both, people posting response videos to everything. Personally, I've stopped subscribing to Spotify, YT music, et

I feel like nobody is making money from pure wrappers. Services like Cursor or Vapi are derogatorily called wrappers, but they do a lot of work on the harness. It's quite clear what work they do if you try to build your own.

I did try Extra Usage and API credits with Claude and it chews through $5 in minutes. Unlike GPT, the subscription is a better deal. I definitely do not recommend API credits and such. It's more efficient to use Claude through some o

Claude for the default 5-hour limits. Cursor for the monthly limits when those run out. Cursor is one of the more efficient ones for dumb uses... if you're typing out your own tests, it should work great. A lot of people recommend Open

I've seen more bad use from the AI itself than from prompt injections. e.g. someone's instructions exceeded context and it started deleting all her mail. On stuff in the wild, we also very rarely see prompt injections and hacks. N

I stick to the basic subscriptions. Whenever I get into psychosis, it yanks me back. I'm forced to read a book, go to the gym, talk to people, or actually have a think about what I'm trying to do. In emergencies, I may buy add on

It might be an architecture or programming language thing. And I use this prompt more for code reviews and debugging. Also our error handling is a mix of Result and try-catch, and mixing between the two is bad. It does a good job of noticin

In companies like the oil industry, doubling productivity would mean reducing the expected life span. Costs tend to catch up with profits, especially due to taxes. Layoffs happen inevitably. Is it the same with tech? Facebook has 3 billion

I feel like game dev is an entirely different market to the typical startups. Different investors, different talent, different marketing and market validation. Those who invest have already made their money in games (or "gaming").

I bought Rust, Conan Exiles, and similar AAA games. But I've been spending most of my gaming time on survival MMOs and idle games on Roblox anyway. Partly it's because they're easier to get into. It works well on a Mac or eve

I'd like the delay to kick in after voting is no longer allowed. It's very much a thing on reddit but mobbing becomes part of the addiction cycle as well.

In the same way that typing is a job requirement. It's just how you interface with the code now. A decent company wouldn't necessarily look for someone who can type faster or commit 100x more code like the vibers do, but look into

And the people on HN work disproportionately in such companies, so it hits closer to home. If Microsoft, Meta, Palantir, OpenAI, etc, were complicit in genocide in Sudan, Sudan would have much more attention.

It's not strictly tech. But tech tends to be both new and intellectual. Sometimes it can be an old phenomenon but also curious; people often just paste Wikipedia links here and they trend. From the guidelines: On-Topic: Anything that g
