I was apart of the "covid chess cohort" and got really into it for quite a few years. In that time, I also learned about what the chess culture was like pre-engine and post-engine, and I think you could argue that post-engine did

I actually think this type of suggestion/thinking is not good for the game. the mystique of dwarf fortress is that it's a game that plays in your imagination, not on the screen. the point of the ascii visuals is to give a player e

it's a bit unfair to say this is the only thing that can happen. we can just as easily assume in like over a few years, US leadership identifies that AI is an arms race, and continuing down this path leads is going to lead to a zero-su

I used to have this feeling, and I just got over this hurdle. I now continue coding by hand with zero AI usage. It's amazing how much better you feel when you get to use your brain. What really helped me was many perspective shifts per

I don't think the majority of ppl are giving it hate tbh - I think it's just a HN thing. everyone I know that is into gaming is excited about it. I would chalk it up to consumer misunderstanding around the pricing, but I actually

I appreciate ya commenting, and let me tell ya directly that the work is great! I'm an old-head and curmudgeon - my thoughts here are about the world at large. your work here is great, please keep it up!

yeah, I agree with you. I guess the part that feels disingenuous is that these kinds of projects are some-what cashing in on attention from people who still who see threejs slop as "high-effort UIs." this speaks more about me than

big fan of oxide, and love the demo overall, but at the same time, I can't shake the feeling that these kinds of 3D demos are a bit gimmicky/cheap nowadays. pages like this used to be a signal for a high-end product and or a bench

I feel like this comment is just engagement farming, but I'll bite anyways there is a larger appetite for something like open source AI mostly b/c of price. we all know these labs have not figured out their pricing model, and we&#

GLM 5.2 is the first time I'm actually excited about AI! I'm not the most bullish on AI code for several few reasons, but the biggest reason is the ownership model. We all know we're near the tail end of the "subsidized

I will say, a positive thing that has come out of msft's 20ish year run of consistent incompetence and piss poor leadership, is that there are quite a few former msft engineers (now retired) that are posting great lectures and educatio

so much to unpack here and almost poetic that you say this first is that the model will write out that it “thought” and “double checked” it’s output Second, this was in a fresh context window of the latest model (that isn’t fable b/c w

Yeah, I keep coming back to a point that the way people talk about AI is still entirely disconnected from what it can actually do. I think of the bell curve meme a lot when I see people talking about AI. the people most bullish to perpetuat

I’ve personally reached a point where if I’m saving time typing, but gaining back that time on reviewing and understanding, I may as well have just written the code most of the time. AI is great for boilerplate and learning, but my team has

it's possible I'm stating the obvious for this crowd, but if people like this, you will probably also appreciate Pico-8 [1] [1] - https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php

there is a lot to pull apart here there is always an aspect of every job that is performative - even small companies. I like to call this perception management. a lot of any job is effectively communicating what you're doing. a lot of

I think when the author says > “We programmers are currently living through the devaluation of our craft” my interpretation of what the author means by devaluation is the general trend that we’re seeing in LLMs The theory that I hear fro

I am an educator alongside being an engineer, so I've had to think about how to explain this topic to people in ways that give them some kind of intuition/insight. I don't have a good take for non-stem people, but I think I h

there is a lot of half correct and half in-correct information in this thread. it might be worth reading some of the articles im linking the high-level facts are 1.) unemployment and number of available jobs is bad right now, and inflatio

I love lit. I've been using lit in production since 2020 and I have never looked back. There is so much to say about lit, but I think the biggest win is that it's built on a very stable foundation. Building apps on top of native w

to throw my hat into the ring, I am in no way shy about using the AI tooling and I like using it, but I am happy we're finally seeing people talk about AI that matches with my personal reality with the tools. for the record, I've

interesting if true, but this isn't the first time we heard of something like this quanta published an article that talked about a physics lab asking chatGPT to help come up with a way to perform an experiment, and chatGPT _magically_

I imagine it depends on the kind of search people are making. if I just need a basic fact or specific detail from an article, and being wrong has no real world consequences, I'll probably just gamble it and take the AI's word for

I’m always surprised by this take. Do people not see their friends outside of work?
