Yeah, if it weren't for that, I think this would blow up. Plus, even if you get past that, if you try a larger project, it times out after 1 minute and gives up. But it's a pretty awesome idea!

This is cool!

Would it be possible to add "Best Value" / "best average performance per dollar" type thing?

Ah, reading this comment makes your original post 10x more interesting. I guess this is "start with why" in action. :)

I think many subscribe to this philosophy: https://distantprovince.by/posts/its-rude-to-show-ai-output-...

Your github research/ links are an interesting case of this. On one hand, late AI adopters may appreciate your example prompts and outputs. But it feels like trivially reproducible noise to expert LLM users, especially if they are unaware of your reputation for substantive work.

The HN AI pushback then drowns out your true message in favor of squashing perceived AI fluff.

If you don't mind a paid solution, try DEEPL. I also use Word's built in document translation to good effect.

IMO, it's not insane at all - I didn't understand this until I moved from developer to executive.

Solving the business need has precedence over technical correctness.

Satisfying "what I think the requirements are" without considering the business need causes most code rework in my experience.

Apparently "CL" is "Change List", Google speak for a Pull Request, if anyone else was confused like I was.

It's paywalled.

Laravel Forge handles auto-deployment on push to master. Or if you want production zero downtime deployments, use Laravel Envoyer.

This project creates a "compact, machine-optimized format designed for efficient AI parsing rather than human readability" called "Structured Knowledge Format (SKF)".

It's not obvious to me that this is a good idea. LLMs are trained on human-readable text.

The author notes that non-reasoning LLMs struggle with these SKFs. Maybe that's a hint that human readable summaries would perform better? Just a guess.

Or perhaps a vector store?

What you describe is more accurately called the "prosperity Gospel", not evangelical Christianity. Mainstream evangelical Christianity doesn't believe anything like what you describe.

QED

bunch of goons .. aren't on the up and up

What a horrible thing to say. I can't speak for "goons" other than myself, but I have no hidden agenda when I flag the multitude of one-sided propaganda stories flooding HN about how horrible President Trump and DOGE are.

I find the resulting discussions to be hyperbolic, FUD-invoking, divisive and one-sided - as evidenced by your insults to half of U.S. voters - offering little to no discourse of value.

I recently watched a 2 hour congressional committee session, with 5 minute talking points per member. BOTH sides of the aisle used their entire 5 minutes to spout one-sided rhetoric and talking points obviously designed for re-election rather than anything resembling debate or conversation.

I have no idea which side "started it", but where we've landed isn't useful.

Why would you even suspect this is a troll account? These are clearly genuinely held opinions, stated plainly and without the normal wild rhetoric I typically hear in comments in such threads, yet you read it as propaganda.

This is why I flag all articles on DOGE/etc, because genuine conversation is assumed to be in bad faith.

Expecting someone to read an article having an obvious propaganda hit-piece title like "DOGE as a National Cyberattack" is silly.

Would you read an article titled "technology is the mark of the beast" and take your time to debate its merits?

I personally hold the belief that DOGE and president Trump are acting in good-faith to keep his campaign promises as best as they're able, in a messy and tumultuous environment.

At the same time, I have a lot of empathy for the great number of people that are afraid and hurting right now for a multitude of reasons. People are facing food/job/business insecurity, genuine threats to various core ideological beliefs, an environment of fear and uncertainty for many affected people, threats to the desired direction of our laws and societal moral compass, etc. I hurt for those affected, and I do what I can within my spheres of influence to help.

I don't see why we can't have an honest conversation with each other without assuming that the other is operating in bad-faith. I think BOTH sides should stop using propaganda, and start LISTENING to each other, that eventually we might determine paths forward together without cancelling each other.

"pro-corporate" and "pro-capitalist" have nothing to do with left vs right in the definition those in my circle would use.

If these are the topics that you feel define the "right", it's no wonder society is confused how this administration was elected.

"media is in general is very right leaning"

Wow. You don't need to be very right leaning to feel the complete opposite. I'm simply amazed someone could feel that way, as nearly all media is very left-leaning (to my perspective).

It strikes me as a strange that not one comment in this thread supports RTO, so I will weigh in with my unpopular opinion - I really wish all our employees would work from the office 3+ days per week.

I like the energy we get when we work in the same space. I like being able to look people in the eye when discussing challenging or emotional topics. I like being able to brainstorm together at will, and use the whiteboards. I like seeing our office space we pay for being used by more than just 2 people. I enjoy our staff lunches and getting to know each other socially. Most people have a <10m commute in our small town, so travel time isn't a big deal.

Half our company is remote, and the other half work from home most days. But I'd prefer we all be local and in the office ideally. There, I said it.

My son converted an analog organ to a digital organ - I think he used GrandOrgue if I recall.

His "Converting an Old Organ into a Digital Organ" video [1] quickly became the most popular YouTube video on my tiny channel

Why do you postulate that "most people don't have" this need? I also use AI non-stop throughout my day for similar uses.

This feels identical to when I was an early "smart phone" user w/my palm pilot. People would condescend saying they didn't understand why I was "on it all the time". A decade or two later, I'm the one trying to get others to put down their phones during meetings.

My take? Those who aren't using AI continually currently are simply later adopters of AI. Give it a few years - or at most a decade - and the idea of NOT asking 100+ AI queries per day (or per hour) will seem positively quaint.

I guess I'm one of today's lucky 10,000! https://m.xkcd.com/1053/

Wow - that's such a sad interview. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not politically informed, and I don't watch traditional media, so I had to Google "Murdoch".

If I understand you correctly, you feel it's the right-leaning outlets like Fox News that have weaponized us-vs-them mindset?

The origin feels flipped to me, but regardless who started it, I see little to no actual respectful and thoughtful discourse these days - mature discourse where each side is willing to listen and acknowledge the elements of truth and assume positive intent in the other side's positions.

As you say, the media on both sides, including social media, feels extremely childlike and unsophisticated.

Thanks for being open - I've learned a lot in this thread.

I honestly had no idea that anyone "left of center" felt they couldn't openly share here, as I have always mentally categorized HN as a leftist echo chamber (hopefully that's not too blunt - it's just my honest perception).

I naively assumed that it was only those more right-of-center that felt their worldviews and opinions were unwelcome here, judging from the instantly dead posts I see of anything remotely right-aligned.

From your short share, I see that the echo-chamber is unwelcoming to a much broader sphere of humans than I realized. I find that super helpful to understand - so thank you for sharing.

I like your point and analogy about safe places being a normal aspect of society, where like-minded people gather. Perhaps you're right that it's not the end of the world to have multiple massive social networks.

Secondly, I find it so interesting that you come to HN for "contrary opinions" from your self-described "politically far left" viewpoint.

I hold a politically right viewpoint, and I come to HN for the same reason - it feels far left of my own world view.

I think it's pretty cool that HN can serve as a more neutral safe meeting place of minds.

The comment you replied to didn't say either of those things. Shouldn't the fact that you inserted "hate" and "verbal violence" into their comment give you something to think about ;)?

Stupid paywall - here's a BBC article about the resignation https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c05j5ezy6nro

Thank you. Why the article doesn't describe what @property does or how to use it is mind-boggling. It's completely obfuscated by the overly complex example.
