I use CC for a lot of things outside of generating code. One of my CC contexts is for converting recipes to dairy/gluten free by recommending dish appropriate replacements. It very clearly has a huge influence on it to the point where

Don't make the mistake of thinking CI/CD is more complicated than it is. It's just automated compilation & testing plus automated deployment. The jargon can be overwhelming. You can do this with forgejo actions. I'm

Grep is more expensive from a token use standpoint and jsonl files seem to get recycled after 30 days. Grep is what I was using first.

Too many republicans still support not just the clown but the circus it came with.

Because this is what the average person is doing. This is what's necessary for a happy and fulfilling life. What a fucking ridiculous claim.

I and many other HN participants are in the privileged few who would actually see higher taxes from that change in SS and Medicare taxation. I'm on board. But most probably are not. It is weird and still somewhat foreign to me that my

Sure. If you completely ignore the ability to borrow against your assets at extremely low rates. And those assets include stock.

Anti-AI zealots (from a practical usability position. Not necessarily the moral ones) are like the people who looked at The Daily WTF and decided no humans are capable of programming. They had plenty of examples to point at, but refuse to l

I think muscle memory is a huge part of it. I've seen both the slow hunt and peck sort of folks working on keyboard only apps in auto parts stores and I've seen the guys who can fly through all the screens like a wizard.

One of the clients I’m consulting with has one of the best cloud onboarding docs I’ve ever seen. Lays out exactly the services supported. Who does what pieces. What is self service. They break out latency differences between the cloud envir

You are less of a human for not starting all of your fires using friction from rubbing two sticks together. People who use lighters are destroying their ability to start fires without lighters and that is a very serious problem!

This is also where I had issues advancing in math. For so long I was able to build intuition around mathematical concepts easily. They fit in my head and made sense. I couldn’t understand why my peers were so bad and slow at picking up the

I don’t see these at odds. Sometimes through working closely with an LLM, N paths emerge. Having it go off and test each with defined metrics to determine which is better is the natural follow up. Even better if you dive into the why it end

I’ve seen some videos of people who vacuum out sidewalk cracks in places like NYC. They find gold and jewels and such. Quite interesting what people can find. I’d bet the storm drain area has some nice spots for heavier material to accumula

You’ve got to lay off of right wing media. It’s warped your brain. None of that is true.

If the US population were capable of learning, Republicans wouldn't be elected. Alas, that's not the world we live in. Republican administrations are worse by basically every recordable metric. From job creation to deficit reducti

They aren't scaled down between election cycles. The media ecosystem is almost fully captured by the billionaire class. We've seen directly how they change coverage and policies tilting things. Fox News never shut down between ele

This is true, but also "temporal hacks" can make or break "cutting edge" workflows. I don't re-architect my claude instructions every release. But some releases justify examining your existing instructions and makin

I'm tired as fuck of anti-ai zealots pretending like every human is a fucking paragon at programming. I've literally never seen Claude Code produce as bad of code as generated by humans. Literally never. Yet the anti-ai zealots pr

No. It's largely the environment that the parents create. Which is why the equity vs equality arguments are bullshit. If I can afford to hire the best tutors for my children and sign them up for summer classes as well, is it really &qu

The equity vs equality argument only ever seems to be brought up by people clueless about both. They seem to think "equality" is fair. As in, anyone who can pass this arbitrary test is qualified and that is fair and just. Despite

Or the engineer could be working for a certain company in South Korea and get a bonus multiple times their annual salary because of their union contracts tied to profitability.

This is a naive view. Companies will literally pay you as little as they can get away with. If they think they can hire someone “equivalent” according to HR for less money they will often do so. Actual contribution means nothing unless you’
