That's an unhelpful and unnecessarily nasty comment. Millions and millions and millions of people trust Apple. Whether you agree or not, to say they "deserve" something like this for doing what any normal person on this ear

I’ve never understood this - it’s maddening. I grew up in the US and the bare minimum was always at least a shower curtain (inner and outer), and if not that, a proper door. Why on earth did this half-pane of glass become standard in so man

What's remarkable to me is how deep OpenAI is going on "ChatGPT as communication partner / chatbot", as opposed to Anthropic's approach of "Claude as the best coding tool / professional AI for spreadsheets

Man, maybe I'm getting old and jaded, but it's not often that I read a post that literally makes my skin crawl. This is so transparently icky. "Oh woe is us! We're being sued and we're looking out for YOU the user

You ask a great question. My sense is that the engineers fell into three camps (as they do here on HN as well): 1) I don’t really like these AI tools I write better code anyway and they just slow me down 2) I like these tools they make me 1

Haven't RTFA (paywall) but an anecdote: I know a startup founder whose company is going through a bit of a struggle - they hired too many engineers, they haven't gotten product-market fit yet, and they are down to <1 year of ru

Oh man this definitely makes me wax nostalgic for that golden era ... it was 2013-2016 for me. I would throw an annual holiday party w/ my roommate in SF every year and I recall being able to just go down the list of my FB friends and

The only thing missing here is a way to SEND emails from your new business email. I don’t think CloudFlare (yet) offers virtual SMTP for your routed email, so you can receive emails to your new “noah@mynewcompany.com” address but sent mail

It's funny and this timing is perfect - just today two (mostly non-technical) friends, unprompted, sent me two different "projects" they just launched. Both have the same identical and unmistakable AI design with pills and t

Oh for sure - APMEX is selling plenty of gold and they're doing great. But they buy gold too and ship it off to refiners just like any dealer. And yes there is plenty of demand for gold - but my only point is that demand right now is

That’s certainly part of it (and the argument most gold bugs make as to why we should all be buying gold), but gold has gone up 133% in the last 3 years which is wayyyyy beyond inflation tracking.

Background: I’m a full-time rare coin dealer (and software engineer, which is why I’m here haha). One of the fascinating things happening in this market is that there’s a massive disconnect between the spot price of gold ($4000), which is

One fantastic tip I discovered (sorry I've forgotten who wrote it but probably a fellow HNer): If you're using an AI for the "architecture" / spec phase, play a few of the models off each other. I will start with a

What I have found Claude Code is extremely good at is that it makes one change at a time, gives you a chance to read the code its changing, and lets you give feedback in real time and steer it properly. I find the mental load with this met

Awesome! I went KB2NDR -> AA2KT (because at the time AA was the hot new prefix for Advanced) and then when vanities came out I grabbed a 1x2 that I’d dreamed of getting had I been licensed in the 70s :)

If I may wax nostalgic for a moment: I got my original Novice license in 1990 I think (age 12). I was SO excited to participate in my local club’s Field Day outing - but it was a nail biter for my physical license to arrive in the mail in t

^^ this. Also, not only burn the session - sometimes you need to burn Claude. I'll often find the same problem that Claude struggles with is pretty easy for O3 + GPT 4.1 (or vice versa).

I'm trying to think about why this bothers me so much. I'm a happy (I think?) user of Warp The Terminal (eg their product with all of the AI features turned off), and it's a really nice terminal. I think it bugs me because i

Like a caveman! :) I actually haven't explored the inline autocomplete space that much yet. I really like Cursor Tab (or Supermaven or even plain 'ol Copilot) -- they all seem really good. I'm sure there's a Cline equ

Cursor changed their pricing recently and now charge a 20% markup on LLM API calls to use their "Max" models (which from what I gather are the full extent of the LLM context windows you get in the API anyway). I also don't lo

Ok this is great and perfect timing -- I've been playing around with Warp (the terminal) and while I love the idea of their terminal-based "agent" (eg tool loop), I don't love the whole Cursor-esque model of "trust

Great question - similarly, I've seen posts recently (Fly.io's comes to mind) where people are talking about how "swarms of AI agents are using our service". I'd love to learn more about what that actually means - d
