I have one memory that I can place between late 2 and early 3: my mum telling me I was going to have a brother. When he was born, I was 3 years and 6 months old.

It's interesting how LLMs influence us, right? The opposite happened to me: I loved using em dashes, but AI ruined it for me.

I've recently heard that using Linux is an excuse to spend the day tinkering and ricing and do no productive work. It's the same kind of prejudice, but opposite. I like the freedom to run my machine the way I want, but I also enjo

People are replying that OP must own an old TV, but that's missing the point: with very old non-smart TVs, menu commands were always instantaneous!

Ask HN: How are you balancing AI coding tools with junior developers growth?

I don't disagree, knowing how to use the tools is important. But I wanted to add that great prompting skill nowadays are far far less necessary for top-tier models that it was years ago. If I'm clear about what I want and how I wa

For me, it'll randomly ask for the pin code as OP reported, but card insertion is never required.

I've grown increase hate towards Finder to the point that I avoid using at all costs. I've been migrating to the terminal, using fzf to find files and directories and yazi for a more graphical experience. How can it be called FIND

I'm seeing widely opposing takes here; my experience is that the advice is correct depending on where you are. I've worked in places where someone who works 130% is seen as company's profit. But I'm currently at a place

Agreed. I already use Termux for Claude code via ssh in my phone, but I'm nevertheless excited to try this.

I agree. I use Opus 4.5 daily and I'm often trying new models to see how they compare. I didn't think GLM 4.7 was very good, but MiniMax 2.1 is the closest to Sonnet 4.5 I've used. Still not at the same level, and still very

That's brilliant UX. I was vibe coding a webpage in minutes, and I could immediately check the results.

My non-physicist but curious-about-the-topic take is similar. Things at the quantum level are not "complex" in the systems-theory sense. They couldn't be, I think, since we're dealing with the most basic constituents of

No no! It was just the way you wrote it; but I think I misunderstood it. > I found myself asking Sonnet [...] after the 4th time of doing that [...] just switched models. I thought you meant Sonnet results were laughable, so you decided

I think you meant from Sonnet to GLM-4.6?

This resonates with me. Three years ago, I left academia after finishing my PhD in Economics, frustrated by how little real-world impact my hard work seemed to have. I moved into IT, wanting to build things that would be more immediately us

A bit of a counterpoint. I've done 3 years of therapy with an amazing professional. I can't exaggerate how much good it did; I'm a different person, I'm not an anxious person anymore. I think I have a good idea of how go

I still can't fathom how one of my favorite Android features simply disappeared years ago: the 'time to leave' notification for calendar appointments with address info.

Claude Code produces pretty good commit messages, IMO. Just tell it: "commit".

One thing that I'm missing from all of those Claude Code wrappers is the ability to search/replace and edit code. I'm mostly "vibing" nowadays, but often I face situations that editing the code by myself is faster t
