PR count is a meaningless metric

Boomer coded. Weed withdrawals have always been unpleasant.

good on cuban, a good start. but we're still going to need that UBI.

the paradox is that once you're advanced enough to know what security concerns are worth your time, you probably have already internalized this.

I think the devs who are dutifully reviewing the AI for pixel-pushing tasks simply do not trust the AI at all, and would probably be happier and just as productive not using it. you need a baseline level of trust to use the tool effectively.

learn how to do what you want to do (software?) without AI before ever stepping foot inside agentic solutions. that's how you'll survive.

edit: simply amazing to get voted down for this. apparently "become competent" is bad advice on hn now.

I find use out of 'em everyday. what ARE you missing? why am I tasked to let you know? go find out.

(to me, it isn't about producing the right test -- I could think of many scenarios AI has enabled me to move faster on than I ever could without. if you don't have those scenarios, I don't know why you'd fabricate them just to prove or disprove a theory about the usefulness of something that is, well, not useful to you.)

right, because grabbing a tool reluctantly and spinning up something you could easily do by hand gives you all the insights you need to write a blog post. what could go wrong?

"I even wrote an app for it so that I could integrate my music like list from YouTube music so the AI would understand what music I like. I believed that music somehow communicates feeling that words cannot and perhaps the model would be able to intuit this from its training data."

Psychosis. You had or have psychosis.

Using them daily for tasks they used to suck at (writing features, generating 3d models, generating game engines, code review) helps keep me excited.

Wtf

This argument loses bite when the website it's presented on doesn't even have basic mobile considerations

eh, the part about "the only thing between prod and an off-script model is a human reading a diff" -- you realize that humans are also very often off-script, and reading the diff is what we've done for many years as oversight?

I don't think token usage is a good metric to gamify people into burning through.

it's really funny when people advise the fix for widespread sociological problems as "just become an entrepreneur and disrupt an industry bro"

my best advice to you is to ditch python at this juncture and focus on a nice, fast, static language.

we're so near and literally beyond that threshold

it's funny when a site posted on a tech board goes down from traffic. it's funnier when the site is making some kind of principled stance about the power of handmade tools, which presumably made the site, which went down.

it was handing me 502s for a minute.

I hope ai generated images in articles never becomes the norm

what am i to infer from a higher or lower "zaira score"?

this isn't even true. you know this isn't true, right?

I find it really odd that people would consider current text-gen to be even above average writing. it's not...

Cost.

Nothing... keep writing, who cares? It's your art

Big companies reward being nice over being useful.

No

Code yes. Art no.

what, exactly, were the failures?

coding assistants are not visual-first, they are code-first. so it makes sense that they excel more at coding.

I don't find that the models are so capable that the workflow can be "much less about prompts". you still need to be in the loop, prompting and validating, to get good output. people will say otherwise -- I say those people are full of shit, have an adverse incentive, or don't have high standards.

the "in-app purchases" label is reeeeally not worth the in-game tip jar, IMO. move the tip jar out of the game and remove the label. the label is enough to turn many people off (like me).

put a big red banner up top on the blog -- "This post was written by AI!" and also tag your HN posts as such.
