achempion··on Ask HN: How Do You Actually Use Claude Code Effectively?
Is it possible to develop an intuition where it would do a decent job and use it only for these type of tasks or the result is always random?
achempion··on Andrej Karpathy: Software in the era of AI [video]
Even with this future approach, it still can live under the `/.well-known`, think of `/.well-known/llm/<mirrored path>` or `/.well-known/llm.json` with key/value mappings.
achempion··on Ask HN: How can I raise $8k to build a classroom in rural Tajikistan?
Have you tried contacting local business owners / chains inside or around this area or from a capital? What about local government (mayors, administration) to see if they can connect you with someone? Who will be paying teachers and maintaining the place after the premises is built? Are there any special requirements for buildings used for children education (kitchens equipment, materials used in construction, ventilation, etc)?
achempion··on Denmark to raise retirement age to 70
What is the point of having so huge government investment fund if it can't subsidise the retirement age?
achempion··on Ask HN: Is anyone using AI conversation partners?
I’m curious if you can check the app I’m working on to see if it has the same issue. I tried to make it less open ended with specific goals you need to achieve in conversation. (Shameless plug: fluent.im)
achempion··on Ask HN: Conversational AI to Learn a Language
I’m making fluent.im, it has situations with goals for each conversation, and we’re about to ship lessons based on your favorite podcast content.
achempion··on Show HN: OpenNutrition – A free, public nutrition database
If you'll find an app like this, try to do an experiment: estimate calories by taking a picture, then add 30g of olive oil (270 kcal) to the same dish and see if the app will detect it.
achempion··on Ask HN: Struggling with Anxiety as a Developer – What Are My Options?
I don't know if it'll help, but if everything you tried didn't solve your problem, search for "Anxiety - Kapil Gupta MD & Naval Ravikant" and "Be Free From a Chaotic Mind | Awakening" on youtube.
achempion··on Show HN: CSS Clicker – a pure-CSS idle game where you build your own website
This is amazing, thanks for sharing
achempion··on Tell HN: OpenAI added heavy censorship on GPT4o image generation yesterday
Having a non-profit org run statical analysis on terrabytes of pirated content and then sell itself to a big corporation doesn't sound like a right thing to me.
achempion··on Show HN: No one cares about observability costs
Who are security teams? At which size company hires those? Is having a security team driven by copmliance to get certaion certificates that required by vendoes? Did the product you built addressed the observability need, if so, why it wasn't used much?
achempion··on Show HN: We are building the next DocuSign
I think the who are "we" information is missing. There are not much on the landing page to assure trust in the product.
achempion··on Tell HN: OpenAI added heavy censorship on GPT4o image generation yesterday
Should it be really that simple to create pictures of other people without any kind of concent just by uploading couple of images?

Imaging if you're actually famous / politically exposed person and some company publishes a tool that can generate any video, voice and pictures with you or sell some courses narrated by you.

achempion··on Show HN: I built Envs.AI – Free env variable manager for dev teams
> See why thousands of developers and teams choose Envs.AI

Wow, congrats on building very successful project as a solo dev. How did you find so many teams to try your product?

achempion··on Claude can now search the web
Thank you for mentioning some cool projects, they all seem to target very specific use-cases not necessarily handed by junior roles. I guess PaaS services like Heroku/Render/Fly took away juniour DevOps roles then, but at least PaaS don't hollucinate or generate infra that is subtly wrong in non-obvious ways.
achempion··on Claude can now search the web
Do you have an example of at least one entry level job an AI can do? What is the evidence that AI do such job?
achempion··on Show HN: I made a tool that saves a lot of time for dev teams
It says "try on this page", but when I click nothing happens. I disabled ublock origin in chrome but still nothing. There are no contacts on the page as well. Feature descriptions are just images without an ability to select text. Is the product real?
achempion··on Ask HN: How to use social media as an indie dev?
A lot of good advice in this thread. The problem is that such places most likely prohibit self promotion, otherwise they'll be drowning in self-promotion spam (they're already are anyways).
achempion··on Ask HN: With trust in Firefox gone, is Chrome-ish the only option?
Orion uses webkit, not sponsored by ad revenue
achempion··on Ask HN: Is there a dev friendly alternative to Gmail, Outlook, etc.?
I'm building it as a hobby project. It's mac only app written in swift with keyboard first navigation, ability to write extensions, fully offline storage, doesn't ping home, doesn't have build-in AI features, etc.

I'm not sure if I would publish it as it seems to be a very niche app that nobody really want. For some reason developers like to use gmail in a browser and happy with it.

achempion··on Facebook Marketplace: How a single button and textbox ruins the service
I think they wanted to solve a different problem with this, to make sellers delete the ad after the item is sold.
achempion··on Buy European Made. Support European Values
It’s so iconic that they have a cookie banner covering 60% of my phone screen.
achempion··on The US stops sharing air quality data from embassies worldwide
What is political in sharing scientific measurements? Can you point to a specific person who is irritated by it? Why it irritates you personally?
achempion··on Kaspersky exposes hidden malware on GitHub stealing personal data
Copilot for sure should be able to describe the code and spot basic malware
achempion··on Is it just me, or is the entire internet half broken?
Can it be a direct result of vibe coding
achempion··on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other extensions in Edge
Places for which you would need to use ublock origin are ai generated seo spam or funnel to some product, why visiting them in the first place
achempion··on Ask HN: Got asked to build AI agent that replaces humans. Would you do it?
I really appreciate water and my internet connection.
achempion··on Ask HN: Is Calendly Down?
Ah, this is a great example of Goodhart's Law in action - "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

The status page showing all green while the service is actually down illustrates this perfectly. When uptime/status indicators become key performance metrics that teams are measured against, there can be pressure to keep those indicators green even when they don't accurately reflect reality.

achempion··on Ask HN: Wantrepreneur who's run out of energy/ideas. What now?
Is my statement false and it internet advice did help you create a profitable company? If it's a fact then does it matter pessimistic/optimistic.

So, basically you're asking for advice how to find more unprofitable ideas if the evidence you have shows that it helps with only that.

achempion··on Ask HN: Wantrepreneur who's run out of energy/ideas. What now?
All advice you read before didn't help you to start a profitable company. Why would it be different now?
