Totally anecdotal of course so take this with a grain of salt, but I've seen and experienced this when Cursor chats start to get very long (eg the context starts to really fill up). It suddenly starts "forgetting" things you

I am but a small humble minority voice here but perhaps I represent a larger non-HN group: I am not a professional SWE; I am not fluent in C or Rust or bash (or even Typescript) and I don't use Emacs as my editor or tmux in the termin

I use Cursor as my base editor + Cline as my main agentic tool. I have not tried Windsurf so alas I can't comment here but the Cursor + Cline combo works brilliantly for me: * Cursor's Cmk-K edit-inline feature (with Claude 3.7 a

This is super cool and congrats! Some questions - I understand all of these concepts but so far everything seems to be aimed at people way more immersed in this world than I, so pardon any dumb queries: I have a small website I run. Everyt

Ok I dig that totally makes more sense. I thought you were saying you've never seen ANY GH repo that's interesting. You just meant a personal GH repo. Thank you for clarifying and sorry for my own snark!

> Cute, but no. I will absolutely do none of things. You need to make it as easy as possible for me to learn about you. If instructions are necessary it’s not easy. If you want me to feed links to an LLM then just do it for me and share

Agreed. And particularly with the advent of LLMs, this is something that could be done quite easily. Don't even give users an option of giving a numeric/star rating - just allow people to write a sentence or two (or 10) and let

Similarly - one of my biggest complaints about almost every rating system in production is how just absolutely lazy they are. And by that, I mean everyone seems to think "the object's collective rating is an average of all the in

This is super cool! Thanks for the hard work you've clearly put into this. My dream product in this space (...that I didn't know existed until I discovered your site about 10 minutes ago LOL): I listen to music when I work/c

Thanks for building and sharing this! A few years ago I did a deep dive on expense-tracking apps/services - ostensibly to write a big comparison blog post about them all - but that never happened - but really because I wanted something

It’s remarkable how this has changed. Back in what I call the “Facebook golden age” (2012-2016), before it turned to complete crap, it was unthinkable to host an event that was NOT organized by Facebook. I recall throwing birthday and holid

I just don't see how this is true. OpenAI has a massive cash & hardware pile -- they'll adapt and learn from what DeepSeek has done and be in a position to build and train 10x-50x-100x (or however) faster and better. They ar

My other favorite fun fact about this number (other than this new prime info which I am excited to have learned) is that in almost every store I’ve tried it, someone has used that (along with a local area code) as the phone number for a s

A great question - it's something the BEP offers to collectors basically for the cool factor. People frame them, give them as gifts, etc. It's just kind of fun to see real money as it comes off the press (and, thankfully, it ins

(Professional coin & currency nerd here) Fun fact about these — when the treasury first issued these, many people decided to cut them into odd off-center pieces and sell the resulting notes as miscut errors. Once that started happening,

(Professional coin & currency nerd here) They’re illegal not because of a law but because they were never issued for public use. They were used (briefly) for internal treasury / fed transfers. (Sort of like the mythical trillion-do

Definitely odd! I grew up my whole life with 0-1 other Noahs around (usually 1 other around -- it was weird we always were in pairs). It is weird how suddenly everyone loves the name. I guess our parents were ahead of the trend! :)

It is mind-blowing that this happens but I suppose totally logical too. Scammers are out to extract money from people and companies by any method possible, so in the world of remote-only work, it's just another extraction angle for th

I think everyone who spent time computing in the 80s & 90s has at least one tale of woe relating to forgetting to save or crashing before a save or tripping over a power plug, etc. In retrospect it seems pretty wild that users were expe

If you're sitting in front of the keyboard, inputting instructions and running the resulting programs, yes you are still a coder. You're just move another layer up on the stack. The same type of argument has been made for decades

Congrats on launching! Limiting this to work only with folks who have MIDI keyboards attached to their machines probably cuts your audience down by 99.9999%. Especially here on hacker news. I think you’re going to find it tough going to get

I think this is a bit of a naive take. First off I agree 100% that their employees are not deserving of death so let's get that out of the way here. I'm not trying to argue that murder here is justified. But the take that purcha

I think this comment is being too dismissive/negative/bitter. There is truth here -- yes, OP is likely out of his depth a bit. Yes, he's likely to be seen as a "cost center" rather than an asset. Yes there's
