InstantDB is a joy to work with. Granted, I've only ever built small toy projects with it, but it's my go-to. Just so much simpler than anything else I've tried in this space.
The core product is so good that the AI emphasis feels weird. Hopefully that's just marketing and not a pivot. Unfortunate if that's what it takes to get funding these days.
The verbose ones I could speed read, and consume it at a familiar pace... Almost on autopilot.
Caveman speak no familiar no convention, me no know first time. Need think hard understand. Slower. Good thing?
Where can I find more information on that? I use CachyOS but never heard of that. Googling didn't find a single result (surprisingly, not even your comment)
You can tell an intellectual came up with that definition.
Now every toilet on the market only flushes number one. But hey, they're so much cheaper.
Spreading doesn't prevent you from mutating nested fields. The fact that you think this is an easy problem puts all your other choices under question.
I have the exact same feeling as you towards coding AI for hobby projects. Though this sentiment isn't new, and AI is just a detail.
I'm not a musician, but I'm attracted to synthesizers and bought a couple in the past just for fun. I immediately get caught in a quicksand of DAWs and plugins and whatnot, which kill the fun for me (it's too similar to work), but at the same time I can't ignore the tools because now the synth is too "bland".
It's a weird kind of FOMO paralysis.
I don't doubt this, to be honest.
I have the feeling of learning a lot when coding with agents. New features, patterns, entire languages... It's very satisfactory asking questions and getting answers in as much detail as you want, with examples, etc.
Except I forget it all soon after. Because I didn't put the effort. Easy come easy goes .
E.g. a Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks?
And all men are Socrates...?
The question is do you believe in an omniscient god or not.
The fact that they dress up god as a supercomputer and that attracts all sorts of math and tech nerds is hilarious.
All humans fail to be AGI, by definition.
Being on HN for "only" about 6-7 years this is something I've always found quite bizarre, comparing to old forums.
Discussions here die after roughly 16 hours.
Because there's basically 4 entry points, front/new/past/ask, sorted by recent-ish, for millions of users, as opposed to themed sections and threads, everyone is incentivised to say what they want then move on. Comments are disposable.
If you're not here every day religiously, you're not part of the discussion. Even if you are, but live in a timezone too distant from the US, by the time you get to read the most popular threads they're already obsolete.
Hell, I don't even know if you, the person I'm replying to, will read this.
Too often the smallest changeset is, yes, simple, but totally unaware of the surrounding context, breaks expectations and conventions, causes race conditions, etc.
The good bit in tfa is near the end:
> when someone asks “shouldn’t we future-proof this?”, don’t just cave and go add layers. Try: “Here’s what it would take to add that later if we need it, and here’s what it costs us to add it now. I think we wait.” You’re not pushing back, but showing you’ve done your homework. You considered the complexity and chose not to take it on.
If you wrap the li contents in a div, you can handle them as a unit separately from ::before.
Then subgrid solves the problem of treating nested elements as siblings.
Also, trajectory of celestial bodies can be predicted with a somewhat decent level of accuracy. Pretending societal changes can be equally predicted is borderline bad faith.
