neals··on UnDUNE II
what is a demake?
neals··on I'm going back to writing code by hand
I'm moving very slowly into AI coding. I'm not comfortable enough to let Claude do anything big. What I do is this: I set out general architecture, create function stubs and add comments on how to implement things. Then I let Claude do 10 minutes of work and I check everything and refactor some of it. It saves me on boring implantation stuff (like, is this an array, move an index here or there, check for whatever exists or not, put it in the db)
neals··on HantaWatch Real time hantavirus outbreak tracker
Are we? I feel like we're cruising and flying a boat full of potentially infected people to 23 counties.
neals··on StarFighter 16-Inch
I've been working from a ARM windows laptop for a year now and have gotten so used to a full day of battery, I don't even bring a charger anymore. I would love a framwork or Starfigher laptop, but I don't feel like the batterylife on intel and amd is there yet?
neals··on Reverse Engineering SimTower
Played it for a few cycles. I feel like the elevators are a bit bugged, they keep idle in the lobby why people are waiting to get on (and turning red)
neals··on Astronomers find the edge of the Milky Way
Just the daily post that makes me feel small and insignificant.
neals··on Google Gemma 4 Runs Natively on iPhone with Full Offline AI Inference
:')
neals··on AI could be the end of the digital wave, not the next big thing
Yes, I write a lot of things in notepad++ actually, every single character. It really feels like a craft and gives me the same joy as others experience with woodworking or gardening.
neals··on AI could be the end of the digital wave, not the next big thing
I had to code something on a plane today. It used to be that you couldn't get you packages or check stackoverflow. But now, I'm useless. My mind has turned to pudding. I cannot remember basic boilerplate stuff. Crazy how fast that goes.
neals··on HyperCard discovery: Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive (2022)
Would anybody be so kind to enlighten me with some context?
neals··on OpenClaw surpasses React to become the most-starred software project on GitHub
Gives me mongodb vibes. This whole Ai coding thing too. On one side, religious loud following, on the other side the nay sayers. We'll probably end up in the middle.
neals··on YouTube as Storage
Flashing a bunch of qr codes should do it
neals··on Silver plunges 30% in worst day since 1980, gold tumbles
But shouldn't everybody have equal access to these markets?
neals··on Android’s desktop interface leaks
I think the point is that software wasn't ready and now it might be.
neals··on Oneplus phone update introduces hardware anti-rollback
How does an eFuse even work?
neals··on jQuery 4
They should make a version of that runs as an app on a phone
neals··on Web development is fun again
What are we all using as assistants? I tend to copy-paste my code into Gemini. I tried some VS-code assistants, but I can't get them to do the thing I want (like look at selected text or only do small things)...
neals··on An informational website about why I went to prison
I've never heard of this case or person. I went in interested in his story. But the information and writing makes it seem like he was reluctant to share anything at all. Why even start a website?
neals··on Grok Code Fast 1
What is hn using for Ai assisted coding? Vscode with some plugin? Would love some tips on what works...
neals··on Is the A.I. Boom Turning Into an A.I. Bubble?
No
neals··on Is the A.I. Boom Turning Into an A.I. Bubble?
It's helping me find things, understand things and do things. I'm sure some of those startups will figure something out that makes sense. And eat the rest.
neals··on AI is not Making Engineers 10x as Productive
Google became Expert exchange become stackoverflow became Google again became Chatgpt became Google again. Every time, so much more faster to get your boilerplate.
neals··on A job queue in two lines of JavaScript
Anybody willing to walk me through this code? I don't get it.
neals··on CERN releases report on the feasibility of a possible Future Circular Collider
I feel like with all the silly things humans do, every remotely feasible physics experiment should be top priority on getting funding and attention. Isn't finding out how the universe works, by far, the only thing that matters?
neals··on Show HN: Nue – Apps lighter than a React button
Both way can work fine, enough great examples out there. The real problem is, imho, we shouldn't need a (graphical) UI at all. That's where all this discussion comes from. When the whole "frontend" disappears in a year or 10, it will make a lot more sense.
neals··on Generate impressive-looking terminal output, look busy when stakeholders walk by
I used to type "tree" and go get coffee
neals··on A 10x Faster TypeScript
It was considered and tested, just not used in the end.
neals··on How Core Git Developers Configure Git
How much of this is for a noob like me that just uses vscode? I hardly ever see the git command line, and when I do see it, its trouble beyond what anybody can fix...
neals··on Record-breaking neutrino is most energetic ever detected
Anybody here able to tell me what it means? Where do neutrinos get their energy from? Is there a limit? Will this make my phone smaller? My microwave quicker?
neals··on Minecraft Snapshot 25w03a
What are all this testing features for?
