I initially read that as "Hacker News will reduce priority for AI driven content" and was wondering why it was announced on a random website instead of this one.

The amount of RAM doesn’t tell you anything about "the best value". Bad software with a large amount of RAM provides less value than highly-optimized one with a lower amount of RAM, for example. This was the whole advantage of the

It’s a non-profit that archives publicly-accessible content. If it were a for-profit (Google snippets, LLMs) I’d understand your question, but since it doesn’t profit from it I don’t see the issue.

…Or use a non-modern format and serve it as .txt, which supports all devices. The only downside is you’ll lose colors, but they are not strictly required.

Not OP but I don’t really care if it was or not. All I know is that I’ve been using the Spotify app 10+ years and it works well. I don’t know if this random app works, and if it hasn’t been supervised I doubt it does.

Of course I learn about it exactly when I’m out of Paris for just a couple of days.

There are a lot of large projects where X.1 is newer than Y.0. You release a new major version for breaking changes, but you backport security changes to previous major releases as well.

Frontier models from OpenAI/Anthropic/Google make tons of mistakes. I work with them every single day and you really have to verify everything if you don’t want to end up with overengineered spaghetti code full of bugs.

You don’t need an SPA for that; Wikipedia has client-side sorted tables for example.

by hk__2 27d ago
You could have a `sortkey` attribute, a bit like <option> that has a `value` attribute in case the value you want is different from the value you display.

Related to this, I’d love that HTML natively support sortable tables. This is a common need but every single time I have to reimplement it.

Sure. On my side I don’t want to spend time reading AI slope because I have zero guarantee someone proofread it.

If you never take the time, of course it will always be a lot of effort. But with experience it’ll take less time and effort.

> Did you know that we name around 2,000-3,000 new products every year? I find this surprisingly high; I guess it’s _products_ and not _names_, meaning that five colors of the same product count as five new products but only one name.

In my experience, "Sol" stands for "Stupid overengineering LLM". I’ve tried it at low/medium/high/xhigh effort levels and after a while I always end up to regretting my switch from Opus/Fable.

For me the solution has been to throw away the code I don’t understand. I let the agent write the code, and if when I read it it seems unclear or needs a lot of explanation from the agent, I just throw it away and start over, or do it by my
