I have the opposite problem, I can't keep a notebook neat. They all turn out just being odd random phrases in corners or at weird angles or sometimes so messy I can't read what they said because I scrawled it while listening to people bicker on a Google meet.

Songwriters do this! Write the songs, give them to others to perform

I know a few people who unironically call themselves that. They sound awesome, but scratch beneath the surface of what they say... there's nothing there.

I mean, that's literally what the site was designed for. It was not designed to be a community. It was designed to be a Q&A site.

I mean in the dead of winter, yes. For six months of the year? Definitely not.

And I'm not conceited enough to claim that it is

I don't understand how even today software engineers are calling LLM written code slop? It's objectively much better than what most of the engineers write, and it's not stopping to get better. If you still believe this, try out any frontier model on any work that you are currently doing, that should change your mind. There still are like 1% of cases where LLMs are not that good, but even there almost all of the time the issue is in the engineer's steering, not the LLM

I don't understand how anyone can say this with a straight face. And how you automatically assume that anyone who has this opinion, is just doing it wrong by not using the latest models.

"The significant percentage of people who are pointing out problems and issues with LLM-generated code are all just holding the tool wrong!"

While of course skill and experience plays a part, if so many people are trying to get good output from a tool and failing - the problem isn't with all of the people, the problem is with the tool.

Yay for the RFDS.

If only ground ambulances were as universally awesome

That’s why America is the Greatest Country on Earth, ever.

hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhaahah

I mean I'm also in Australia and given how few Costcos we have over here, it pretty much is an event because it's not on your way anywhere, you generally have to make a special trip of a decent distance so you want to make it worth the trip.

I think I've been like... three times?

I do have a mate that makes pretty regular trips, but even then they're just that, trips to Costco for some specific purpose or product.

As a non-American, all of these threads are utterly fascinating.

They went from 20-30 merged PRs a week to 150! What's in them? Who knows, no-one has read any of them

you think the PS6 will have physical backwards compatibility? oh you sweet summer child

Looks like the PS5 will be the last Sony console I buy.

That's basically sun up to sun down, here.

It's been completely grey, overcast, and raining here all day and the UV index sat between 3 and 5.

Coming from the skin cancer capital of the world (Australia) - no, no it is not

We did, that's why we're so skeptical of your claim. The burden of proof here is on you, not on us.

I'm in the boat of wondering how so many people run into session limits so often. I have never hit one, except once when Claude Design came out and I had fun generating a bunch of random things to see what it could do (not with the intent of actually using any of the generated designs/code, because it all sucked).

source: just trust me bro

In my experience, your first dev will have four thousand ideas and experiments on the go, and leave an absolute mess in their wake.

And your second will be struggling to clean up that mess while also getting their own work done.

Of course, you expect the same level of work from both of them, but because person two has to do a bunch of person one's work as well as their own, person one ends up looking better and gets praised by management.

I'm totally not bitter at all.

I remember discovering this in about 2010, and thought it was hilarious

Not by themselves - its the result of weight loss that can make your skin sag a bit.

As someone with a severe allergy, lots of downsides to me!

I have no idea why this article is here on HN but this was so hugely controversial in cricket

(as an Aussie, sorry)

Both my personal and work machines are M1 Max - guess I’ll be holding onto them for a few more years

Honestly, it seems pretty enticing for a PC-just-for-gaming-but-not-a-“gaming-PC”, if you get my meaning.

I have no need for it right now, but when the next big Windows-only game comes out, it’ll be pretty tempting. (The last Windows gaming I did was when The Elder Scrolls Online came out…)

As someone who is learning Japanese and is struggling through learning conjugations.... this is not explained simply to me.

Maybe it's because I'm at a different part of my learning journey, but this seems to go on and on and on about godan v ichidan verbs but doesn't touch on the actual conjugation (ie. how to turn "drink" into "didn't want to drink"), nor on plain form (everything is in polite form), and te-form gets a very very short mention at the end x_x

Also, the romaji did my head in but I understand that was done for a reason (I don't agree with the reason, but at least there was one)

I've gotten like five notifications from Telstra about this today. They really want me to know that things might change! Like I don't already get a few spam calls and messages every day

Goddammit, it's iOS 26 only. That sounds super useful!

that'd be awesome
