Good point, but I think it's a little more complex than that. To my knowledge (and what I meant by "old school"), it was common to type a "--" dash on typewriters[0] because m…

I too find it a pity that the em-dash has been co-opted by AI. I use a double-hyphen ("--", the old school way of writing it), but fear that this will also become used by AI seeking a higher…

I was only thinking about Flight Control[0] the other day and how I wish there were more modern takes on it! There was Mini Metro[1], but that was released over a decade ago. -- [0] - https:/&#x…

That’s related, but not the same article.

I used to be a die-hard destructurer! I liked the readability aspect, but ultimately two core problems emerged that pushed me towards dot-accessors: 1. It's highly verbose, especially in a langua…

That's actually the wikipedia article that inspired me to name a repo-convention checker I made called Pokayoke[0]. Do find it fascinating (as with Andon) how many cool Japanese loan-words there …

From the article, it's for "jobs in sectors like agriculture and construction". Would be interesting to learn about how this kind of work is managed in hotter climates. For office work,…

It's hard, in my opinion, to lend credence to the author here when they decided to devote the first and largest section of their article to an incisive display of speculative ad hominem. Would ha…

481 upvotes on HN, and only $136 USD donated (out of $64k target) -- at the time of writing. Given the amount of traffic this project has received by being at the top of the front page for half a day,…

I’ve done it in one of my projects here using Drizzle, and it’s worked fine in testing so far. https://github.com/rorz/manual.email/blob/main/packages/db/…

I disagree if your application is networked. Most SaaS is built on RESTful APIs that can be converted trivially into interfaces / contracts for tool use.

The author alludes to it but the defence to this is seemingly insurmountable at the moment because we’re ostensibly operating LLMs on a single channel — their inner, subconscious voice. Right? Interac…

I think something that is a mix between localStorage or IndexedDB and access to the user's filesystem would be better. I agree with the comments about how much of a security risk this poses. But,…

My friend and I have been working on a game: Dozenal. It’s a number puzzle game (with daily challenges) where you have to combine different mathematical operations to fill a grid with “12”s. https:&#…

Amazing, thank you Simon! Look forward to reading.

I had intended to caveat that: I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask about this! > you still see improvements This is expected if they are training their models on it, right? > obj…

I'm beginning to wonder how much of a useful metric the pelican is because surely the frontier labs must be training their models on pelican-artistry because of how well known your test is now?…

I agree with the author that -- right now -- we're still in the part of the AI adoption / product development curve that it's an extreme force multiplier. I like to think of it as a nor…
