> A good design doc can save you years of development time.

I only have a few years of experience in this business, but I have seen numerous cases where none of this matters. Your perfectly drafted plan could easily be derailed by technical limitations, customer request or company reorg. You are better off use that planning time for something else.

Any idea whether there is a mobile app for that?

Which makes me wonder, other than the author and maybe two other humans on the earth, does anyone care about the cipher or the success?

There are a few posts discussing that here.

poor quality of HN discussion -- that's something not with thinking about. Flag the submission and move on.

Which is why I think traditional media outlets are much more trustworthy than random influencers when it comes to news reporting. They don't have a perfect record but have standards and ethics. Sadly it's not worth anything these days.

> need those people digging into the latest newness and discussing strategy on how to best use new tools

Just for the record, the small group of people never made any impact. Barely anyone paid attention to their discussion, and they were not part of any decision making process.

It is a consideration, and I never said it trumps everything else.

The original post is just a plain question. Maybe don't make things up.

Off topic: why would someone engrave their item? If you or whoever is gifted the item ever decides to resell it some day, it becomes a headache. And I don't recall any other company offer such service for consumer electronics.

We can start having a meaningful discussion when people use real reasoning instead of analogy.

Glad to see that more and more people realize these are just snake oils. Without objective metrics like benchmarks, none of the claims mean anything.

That's also how I feel about skills/plugins. While some provide important context for specific projects/environments, I am very skeptical about (over)generalized skills like "writing JS tests" or "creating a spec". There are dozens of these skills internally at my company, but I haven't seen a single benchmark that shows any of those are better than just plain, single sentence prompts in a meaningful way (aka statistically significant).

You should educate yourself about AWS Bedrock and Azure Foundry.

I don't think UI frameworks will go away any time soon. They solve a very different problem from React Native.

You need to get out of your bubble. That's all I can say.

Provided that it's properly accredited. And definitely not for others' unpublished work -- that's despised upon if not an academic integrity issue.

People even point out that you should add a reference to certain papers during the peer review process.

At least 67% of your comment has nothing to do with this article.

I don't know how it's "completely solved" unless you can point me to an existing, complete solution. Providing a nice backend with a WYSIWYG editor and access control as well as varying level of customization is not a trivial problem for anyone, technical or non technical, and you can easily mess it up.

What's "real interactions"?

Care to provide counterexamples?

I didn't read the article but headed straight to comments because I cannot trust a single word Anthropic says about economy.

They have an incentive to play dumb and talk as if AI is net positive for the world.

Serious question: is there a need to reach for tailwind if you are building a new site? Won't using vanilla CSS while taking advantage of the latest features be pretty good, since humans are not manually making edits (which removes many of the pain points of maintaining CSS), while simplifying dependency and the build pipeline?

So you are lucky, congratulations.

> “If I want to ‘refresh’ the inbox shouldn’t I press F5? Nope, that will lock the app and require your password to unlock it,” went one of the many complaints collected on Stack Overflow co-founder Jeff Atwood’s blog. “How do I send an email? CTRL+ENTER? Of course not! ALT+1, naturally.”

I don't know if I want to fault Lotus for that. As someone who juggles between Windows, Mac and Linux on a daily basis, using wrong keyboard shortcuts is something that happens regularly. For most users who only use a single platform, that's even less of a problem -- you only need to learn it once.

This is how I feel about the article in general -- I am not convinced by its arguments. Many of the design decisions make sense to me even today, and are more of a necessary limitation than anything else. I don't see how "at most 8 windows" is any worse than Windows' 256 character limit -- 8 windows are plenty at the time, and you need to decide to stop optimizing for someone who regularly has 20 open windows for no reason and focus on something else. Handling more windows can come later.

This article just reads weird to me.

If this is still not obvious to you, most people don't care about privacy. You and your parents are outliers.

At $dayjob, a company with ~10k employees, there are like 3 people who cannot shut up discussing the latest models in the internal AI forum, 10 others that constantly compare models and talk about "strategy" of using the models.

The rest of the users just use whatever the default is and get their work done.

"just trust me bro"

There is a section in their paper.

Although I don't think it even matters. They could easily cherry pick a period that is favorable for them. Wasting time and money on short term trading, rather than long term investment, using LLM or not, is never a good strategy for most people.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I have an X4 as well, but shamefully I have to admit I find myself browsing HN much more than reading on X4, despite being a reader of physical books and kindle

When I saw the title, I thought this is about a native editor. A noble pursuit.

As I read on I realized this is about a web based editor. Almost just as noble but I would not wish anyone go down this rabbit hole. You cannot build a good, performant and useful editor without sinking tons of work, as proved by many people. You could create something simple but will very quickly discover all sorts of problems and edge cases with it.

I have not created or read any Word document for a very long time. I only create PowerPoint presentations a few times a year for work, which could be easily replaced with PowerPoint online or Google Slides or even just some markdown files.

But I have a license for the entire office 365 including Copilot premium.

Guess why?
