But still what's the point? To look back on false memories that didn't happen?
chorkpop··on I'm Pulling ColorCopy from the macOS App Store
Maybe a color picker app just isn’t enough to get downloads in 2026. I’m not sure what Apple is supposed to do there.
chorkpop··on Show HN: NameThatUI – A quiz game to test your UI design knowledge
I also answered slop but sadly it said "We do not have enough information to diagnose this pattern yet"
chorkpop··on Completing a computer science degree on Coursera
Unfortunately a degree required if you don't want your resume immediately filtered.

chorkpop··on Codex logging bug may write TBs to local SSDs
CLAUDE.md has been incredibly successful for them advertising wise. I wouldn’t expect them to admit AGENTS.md exists anytime soon.
chorkpop··on Kagi Magic
So it’s an ad that you want me to distribute? I’m a big fan of Kagi but I don’t know that it belongs here.
chorkpop··on Keygen.music
Also why is there no big "Play" button? I have to click a bunch to even hear an example.
chorkpop··on Slightly reducing the sloppiness of AI generated front end
Yes in my experience, AI designs might look okay on first glance but when you really start to look you start to see strange and inconsistent things. Similar to looking at generated code.
chorkpop··on Claude Fable 5
Now someone post the link about how it’s impossible for humans to draw a bike from memory.

chorkpop··on Sneaky spam in conversational replies to blog posts
Considering reddit now allows you to hide your post history, I don't know if the admins consider bots to be the giant problem that they certainly are.

chorkpop··on Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans
Dyslexia was my first thought as well. The intent is great, but I don't know if this is keeping with the social model of disability. Disability is created when you remove access and this is exactly that.
chorkpop··on New iPad Air, powered by M4
I wish Apple hadn't decided that colors weren't for pro users. I would love to have any of those.
chorkpop··on Travel agents took 10 years to collapse. Developers are 3 years in
Do you remember when travel agents were still around? Most people would absolutely never even consider using their computer to book a ticket. It was nearly 2010 before I could convince my mother to enter her credit card for Amazon.
