Gotta exaggerate a bit to get attention :D But I think I'm getting to the point where "If I'd let an intern/junior dev have access while I'm watching then I'm probably OK…

(author here) I did feel kinda bad about it as I've always been a 'good' HNer until that point but honestly it didn't feel that spammy to me compared to some human generated slop I…

Most of these are Anthropic models under the hood, so I think 'whatever fits your workflow best' is the main deciding factor. That's definitely Claude Code for me, and I do think there&…

> The sample size is 22. According to this sample size calculator I found, a required sample size for just one thousand people would be 278 I'm all for criticizing a lack of scientific rigor, …

This got a lot of press in the beginning and the raw models definitely still do it, but all the major players now use 'web search' or 'research mode', so they basically google 200+…

this is actually kinda interesting - I might start asking customer service agents to insult me before continuing a conversation
comment
I think it's totally OK to experiment with pricing and rapidly iterate. I dropped my ChatGPT sub for Anthropic because it was great value and Claude Code was a 'game changer' product. I…

This is pretty similar to my set up but I'm ready to quit Firefox because what feels like every few weeks they somehow manage to add new auto-enabled spyware. I regularly have to turn stuff off i…

I followed this on Twitter and it all seems a bit contrived to me, as if the guy set up the situation to go viral. - He's a courseboi that sells a community that will make you 'Get from $0 t…

Basically it's more about cash flow than profit. In the example, you can claim those expenses back eventually so if you survive the initial $1M hit then after the time period has passed you'…

Yeah this is super annoying and wish they'd fix it. I missed the asterisk and bought Claude Team for my team so they could use claude code but then saw it's excluded and had to go through a …

I have airtags in my backpack, briefcase, wallet, luggage and keys now. One of the best qol improvements I've done. I'm careless and forget stuff a lot and even just saving the few minutes i…

So it is, I stand corrected. I googled mcp host and the lmstudio link was the first result. Some more discussion on the confusion here https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/mode…
comment
MCP terminology is already super confusing, but this seems to just introduce "MCP Host" randomly in a way that makes no sense to me at all. > "MCP Host": applications (like LM S…

this is just AI slop, what's the point of posting stuff like this here?
comment
> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, ema…

"just use templates and an editor" is simple for us but still a learning curve for the people I wanted to help with this. I was going to recommend carrd, but I think this is even simpler. Yo…

A few people tried to add scam and porn sites, but because it all gets passed through gpt I can mainly rely on openai to reject anything too bad
