badrequest··on The problem is not AI code, but not knowing about system architecture or intent
The plural of anecdote is not fact.
badrequest··on Yes, Claude can do nine loops
Are there _still_ only a few computers in the world, or has access massively expanded in a way we can anticipate for AI?
badrequest··on Claude, change the “Add to Cart” button to blue
"it's funny because it isn't true"
badrequest··on I used AWS cognito for a startup. I wouldn't do it again
IMHO not rolling your own auth is asking for stuff like this to happen.
badrequest··on Go is an ideal language for AI-assisted software engineering
Where does it say it isn't the easiest language to write? It says the exact opposite in the second paragraph.
badrequest··on Go is an ideal language for AI-assisted software engineering
Literally within this thread someone has already suggested using ruff instead of Black and nobody here are colleagues.
badrequest··on After the AI Crash
When I joined my first startup, they said if you didn't have a good plan for going public or getting acquired by series C, then the D in series D stood for death. Uber et al raised like a J round. None of the rules around markets or investments are real, it's all vibes-based, and the decision-makers love talking to their ChatGPT mistresses too much to let this all come crashing down.
badrequest··on Apple has decided to compete for creativity app users
Probably safer to assume that they always had someone serving in this position and they recently left.
badrequest··on Claude Is Not a Compiler
A rebuttal would spend some time trying to make a case, this is a petulant complaint.
badrequest··on Founding a company in Germany: €9600, 152 days and I still can't send an invoice
it sounds more like they can choose not to work with you just like in America, but maybe the reasons are allowed to be more spurious
badrequest··on Codex for almost everything
It's hilarious how much this post reads as drafted by an LLM. The emdash, "it's not X, it's Y" framing, incredible.
badrequest··on No Terms. No Conditions
hugged to death
badrequest··on Malus – Clean Room as a Service
Was malice.sh taken?
badrequest··on Malus – Clean Room as a Service
Ah, it really wouldn't be HN without baselessly accusing other posters you disagree with.
badrequest··on A brief history of oral peptides
Some of the most profitable ventures this century have been objectively illegal, but when you know you won't go to prison for violating the law, why would you care to follow it?
badrequest··on Stardew Valley developer made a $125k donation to the FOSS C# framework MonoGame
Looks like they did literally nothing in 2024?
badrequest··on Oracle is underwater on its $300B OpenAI deal
Itanium sales projections vibes
badrequest··on Ask HN: Why hasn't Apple bought a cell carrier like AT&T or Verizon?
MVNOs are like second or third-tier citizens on mobile carriers, why would Apple hand a lever like that to, say, AT&T?
badrequest··on Cloud Run GPUs, now GA, makes running AI workloads easier for everyone
Sure, but why post a tutorial of how to spin this up in GCP instead of...productizing it in GCP?
badrequest··on It's So Over
The "it" in question is this website's certificate?
badrequest··on Material Theme has been pulled from VS Code's marketplace
It seems utterly absurd to me that anybody should be able to issue a copyright claim on a collection of colors and fonts. Copyrights are issued to logos and slogans, not design systems.
badrequest··on One year after switching from Java to Go
No questions, but a heartfelt thank you. I've used wire for years and plan to continue doing so. :)
badrequest··on My company has banned the use of Jetbrains IDEs internally
They don't "have" to be any of those things. People are not consistently rational actors, as evidenced by your continued advocacy for Emacs.
badrequest··on Trump wins presidency for second time
Bold of you to think the red states are capable of learning.
badrequest··on New Mac Mini with M4
I would genuinely be buying one today if the memory upgrades were half as much and I could go to 128GB or even 96.
badrequest··on So long WordPress
The author (and myself, coincidentally) used to work at WP Engine. I still have friends there, I could still describe their infrastructure if I had to. How am I not to interpret myself as "affiliated?"
badrequest··on Bluesky Is Not Decentralized
This is a ludicrous paranoid screed that, thanks to the nature of Mastodon, will not be on the live internet in a decade's time.
badrequest··on Moshi: A speech-text foundation model for real time dialogue
It started the conversation by asking if I'd ever heard of the television show Cheers. Every subsequent interaction lead to it telling me more about Cheers.
badrequest··on Go is my hammer, and everything is a nail
I think other languages cause folks to understand JSON responses as a big bag of keys and values, which have many convenient ways of being represented in those languages. When you get to Go and you want to parse a JSON response, it has to be a well-defined thing that you understand ahead of time, but I also think you adapt when doing this more than once in Go.
badrequest··on X suspends account that leaked info about protected user TOS bypass
Does FB's list of unbannable accounts include a list of slurs they're allowed to say on the platform?
