Can you elaborate for a Hyundai owner?

It’s always a hassle trying to find a time for our friend group to hang out, it can seemingly go on for hours. Everyone shares what days they’re available, someone suggests a time, it works for all but one, and the process starts again. Tha

My problem with hard mode is it leaves a lot up to luck. If it was 3 letters and ended in “at” it could be pat, mat, bat, hat, cat, rat, sat, etc. so all you can do is to pick one and hope for the best.

I only shared because it might very well be cool stuff but if people are tired of AI writing and close it like me then it’s a lost opportunity. Not publishing at all is a bigger loss though, so it’s a tricky balance.

The only way to get better at writing is by writing. I’d rather read a less polished but clearly human written article than something clearly written by AI. If I can’t tell I can’t tell. Use it for editing or as a review but the weird hyper

HN needs an AI flag or something. Not sure how well it would work, but worth an experiment.

To be fair, Apple and Google are on opposite sides of the "respects user privacy" spectrum.

Cut down that tree. Can I have a saw? No Okay, it will take much longer then as I’ll have to do x, y, and z. Pick one: [That’s fine, proceed] [Okay you can use a saw]

Sure, but vibe coding a whole telecom platform that’s considered flawless by experts in the language is a pretty mythical feat if you ask me.

Possibly, but I’m a senior software engineer that’s been writing Elixir for the last 5 years and has been experimenting with and using AI for the last 12-18 months. Congrats on being one of the mythical developers that manages to get AI to

If you vibe coded an entire telecom infrastructure and an external audit found no issues then it sounds like you might need to find better auditors.

If you haven’t ran before and are carrying some extra weight then yeah it’s probably a good place to start for your first couple of short runs. Even running slowly puts additional stress on your achilles so it’s a bit of a wake up call to y

10km/h is very fast for a beginner and likely unsustainable for more than a couple of minutes, I would expect most people to be starting around 5-6km/h if they’re a healthy weight. I think the best piece of advice is START SLOW. w

The issue with not having a single source of truth is not the fact that you have to update code in 2-3 places, it’s that you have to know to update code in 2-3 places. Accidental divergence is the problem, not intentional.

The ones most likely to be “exposed to market forces” right now are the junior developers who never got to “have it good for so long”.

It's likely nearly impossible to evaluate that in the short term; I think we're looking at generational damage, much of which won't be apparent for years to come.

by stanmancan 3mo ago
Yes the same applies to junior and inexperienced developers.

You can scaffold out a simple app pretty easily. Anything large or complex things break down. If you don’t know what you’re doing you end up leaking secrets like the dozens of examples we’ve seen so far.

A large portion of the content on the internet is now generated by AI. You can and do have full conversations with bots and not know. I want to interact with humans not LLMs. There’s no way to combat it. An army of bots can post a specific

I’m pretty sure they’re smart enough to remember to put “make no mistakes” in their prompt.

This lands for me. I’m pushing 40 and over the last few years I’ve definitely been eliminating distractions. Anything with scrolling or algorithms meant to suck you in is gone. Deleting apps and blocking websites on my phone to prevent dist

Sorry if I worded poorly but you’re definitely less likely to run into a collision with v7, but it’s not impossible, which is what I was trying to point out. Thanks for a more articulate answer!

Plenty of systems end up generating multiple UUID's in a single millisecond. The issue with UUIDv7 is that you also have significantly less entropy since you only have a 62 bits (sometimes less, depending on implementation) of "ra

The scenario being the collision itself, the time period isn’t particularly relevant aside from it occurring much quicker than expected.

I left a more detailed comment on the parent, but it's definitely not impossible!
