dimaor··on Why senior developers fail to communicate their expertise
you have HN, there is always someone here, my friend :).
dimaor··on Claude for Creative Work
doesn't it seem like the biggest knowledge and traffic theft in the history of the internet? when other sites giving you information from other sources it is illegal, but when it goes through this prediction machine, it is sort of OK?

it smells funny

dimaor··on Deezer says 44% of songs uploaded to its platform daily are AI-generated
you described the spotify revenue model, AFAIK deezer does _user to artists_. based on an article I've read 2 years ago.
dimaor··on Patterns.dev
for some reason I remember him being related to YUI, but I learned JS from Douglas Crockford, one of the best lectures from the old days of JS.
dimaor··on You did this with an AI and you do not understand what you're doing here
maybe submitters should pay a dollar to submit bugs which they will get a refund for when bug is confirmed?

even if not AI, there are probably many un skilled developers which submit bogus bug reports, even un knowingly.

dimaor··on Show HN: A store that generates products from anything you type in search
meh,just a fancy image generator, the pigeon hadron collider does not even have enough pigeons in it.
dimaor··on Zed: High-performance AI Code Editor
maybe you right, but it was weird that everything else was working perfect. rendering engines, games, other graphic things...

that is why I commented, since was disappointed a bit

dimaor··on Zed: High-performance AI Code Editor
I'm not sure, it might have changed since, but my personal experience was different.

Tried using zed on Linux (pop os, Nvidia) several months ago, was terribly slow, ~1s to open right click context window.

I've spent some time debugging this, and turns out that my GPU drivers are not the best with my current pop os release, but I still don't understand how it might take so long and how GPU is related to right clicking.

Switched back to emacs, love every second. :)

I'm not sure if title referring to actual development speed or the editor performance.

p.s. I play top games on Linux, all is fine with my GPU & drivers.

dimaor··on Teen on Musk's DOGE team graduated from 'The Com'
a bad joke is in no way as peculiar as this.
dimaor··on [dead]
There is a post which was flagged twice that was submitted by another user.

That is the reason I actually found the post and was amazed it was flagged so soon, when I got back to HN post after reading it. (15 minutes).

the post does not discuss politics but a certain member of the new team and some of his past, and maybe future.

re 1: why would somebody so respected in the cybersec community go after politics all of a sudden and not simply do that from curiosity? also, why would there be only one of those posts? I would expect more in this case.

I am asking simply to understand, I am not from the U.S and really am not involved in politics.

edit: question to pt. 1 in parent

dimaor··on DOGE team member alleged involvement with cybercriminals
For some reason the other submission is being flagged, but I think it is important for others to see.
dimaor··on A couple CSS tricks for HTML Dialog elements
I have read the article, and saw the link, I simply thought it is so simple to actually add an example since the post itself is a web page.
dimaor··on A couple CSS tricks for HTML Dialog elements
Is it weird that I expected the post to actually have running examples?
dimaor··on I automated my job application process
the only thing worth using LLMs here for is the cover letter.

maybe I'm wrong but turning HTML into structured data example by using an LLM is bug prone and lazy.

the real challenge parts are pretty basic as well..

don't get me wrong I am not judging automation, but using LLMs for these trivial tasks is IMO a waste of time as a software engineer.

dimaor··on Lessons Learned from Scaling to Multi-Terabyte Datasets
not sure, but maybe it's possible only to update the model in a specific time? are there other uses to the data apart from learning and validation?
dimaor··on The many (many) ways I've backdoored your dependencies and other supply chain at
minimalism and due diligince, I hope.

my 2 cents are that it is not theoretically possible to handle and actually fight the problem of _too many dependencies_. we all need them to move quickly.

But, there must be a balance.

remark: just look at the FE framework / packages world (eco system), this is too much, and most are not needed.

dimaor··on Spotube: Open-source Spotify-Youtube client
Wow, you beat me to it. I have been building my own version of the same application for myself.

Great job, I will be happy to contribute as well.

dimaor··on Promptbase: All things prompt engineering
I think I have been misread, the whole point of my comments is to realize that anyone can staple engineering and make you think this is something someone actually thought and went through, which is usually, not.
dimaor··on Promptbase: All things prompt engineering
software engineers work with the chips, which have an API and from my POV it is a property.

that is a portion of what I have been referring to.

dimaor··on Promptbase: All things prompt engineering
not a science. joking, friend.

I am not really sure how to answer this question, seems like a bunch of skills.

dimaor··on Promptbase: All things prompt engineering
How is this called engineering where there is no material with properties that can be worked with?
dimaor··on Show HN: YCombinato – A domain-hacked "Hacker News" client
nothing about them...

if I as a user want something to _correct_ me, well and good. but the browser should never make those assumptions for me. it might actually work well with ISPs, but not browsers.

what about websites which actually make a _pun_ on words and are trying to be funny? switching one letter / word, etc...

not everything is serious and not everything (I think nothing, actually) should be decided by some one else. IMO.

"according to the browser, which means there will probably be a warning message on most browsers"

if my browser automatically assumes missing an r in a domain name is phishing (without the domain being blacklisted somewhere) I am moving browsers.

dimaor··on Show HN: YCombinato – A domain-hacked "Hacker News" client
What trademark exactly? just curious...

what prevents me (legally) to purchase a domain, make it orange, and manually aggregate news in it?

Assuming the content is not scraped, and no icons / logos are copied, can there be legal actions followed and if so on what basis?

dimaor··on Infrastructure audit completed by Radically Open Security
I am currently using nordvpn and my subscription is going to expire pretty soon. I have been thinking to switch to mullvad for some time.

apart from the price (nordvpn is cheaper) can someone please help me make a decision if to switch or stay with nord?

based on the comments in the thread I assume mullvad is better in terms of privacy, security and probably more.

in addition, I don't use streaming services so the netflix selling point does not apply to me.

thanks in advance!

dimaor··on Ask HN: Why do web sites not place the cursor for input?
Sendgrid's lack of autofocus in the 2FA page is particularly annoying
dimaor··on SICP in JavaScript
One thing I have learnt very well from rewriting a legacy PHP code written by amateur teams is: never ever nest ternary operations.

maybe it's only me, but it's really hard to reason about this.

dimaor··on AMD CPU Use Among Linux Gamers Approaching 70% Marketshare
Exactly what I did 6 months ago, abandoning windows was an amazing experience. Some games don't work though, but it's a price I am willing to pay.
dimaor··on Goodreads has no incentive to be good
lol, I am only using GR for the title + image which is downloaded when you post the URL into notion.

never even considered being influenced by random people from the internet, unless this is someone I know.
