sieep··on Show HN: Claude Code skills that build complete Godot games
Didn't you guys just make rules about using AI to comment and post?

> Don't post generated comments or AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans.

Maybe you need to read your own rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

This guy is as blatant as it gets, and you can't/refuse to enforce it. Obvious AI writing with all the tells. Your site is going to crap buddy go select which rules you feel like moderating somewhere else and ban me. Never going on here again, enjoy your AI slop.

sieep··on Meta Platforms: Lobbying, dark money, and the App Store Accountability Act
> Just look at the freaking mess that is trying to proof your identity in the US.

Care to elaborate? I'm not sure what's a mess about a driver's license, social security card. I've never once had any issue with my identity.

I mean the title of the post claims it can create full games, it can't. Its not even close?

sieep··on Qatar helium shutdown puts chip supply chain on a two-week clock
Zeppelins are back, baby!
sieep··on Claude now creates interactive charts, diagrams and visualizations
People are really amazed at something excel has been capable of for like 30 years now. PowerBI/Tableau are free and do much more. Making charts and diagrams is impressive or a selling point now? Am I missing something here?
sieep··on Show HN: Cloud to Desktop in the Fastest Way
I think this is correct. It was common across all SaaS products id say right before LLMs and as LLMs were taking off.
sieep··on I Have 30 Years of Career Left. AI Made Me Rethink All of Them
Yeah people are starting to catch on ive noticed. About time!
sieep··on Iran-backed hackers claim wiper attack on medtech firm Stryker
So frustrating that news from my area one here is ever positive. West Michigan has a booming tech scene right now and clearly companies like Stryker need talent. Its LCOL here and the jobs are there for tech.
sieep··on Debian decides not to decide on AI-generated contributions
Well put. Im gonna start parroting this talking point more from now on.
sieep··on Uber CEO on culture: expects weekend email replies, will push out non-performers
Sometimes I do genuinely feel sorry for those chasing the dream in Silicon Valley. Its much like Hollywood, where young talent can be taken advantage of easily. The Midwest has its problems no doubt but my lower pay = LCOL and less stress (I know there are plenty of good companies in Silicon valley)
sieep··on UUID package coming to Go standard library
Cool! I love go and things like this will keep bringing me back :)
sieep··on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips
Ive been trying to push my boss towards more analytics/telemetry in production that focus on crashes, thanks for sharing.
sieep··on RE#: how we built the fastest regex engine in F#
Cool stuff. Reminds me of the content you used to see on here all the time before AI took over
sieep··on Mullvad VPN: Banned TV Ad in the Streets of London [video]
Interesting. Thanks for clarifying further.

What about in the cases of satire? I make a joke about the holocaust not happening in a comedy club in Berlin, is that illegal? I think with it being such a slippery slope is why Americans take the stance they do.
sieep··on Porn depicting sex between step-relatives set to be banned in the UK
Often among some of the first things they'll see period
sieep··on U.S. science agency moves to restrict foreign scientists from its labs
So build an argument against it. I think hes right, so if you claim he is making leaps, feel free to fill in rhe gaps?
sieep··on How to talk to anyone and why you should
I understand what both of you are saying, I lived in areas where if someone is talking to you on the street theres a high chance theyre asking you for something, so you learn to just kinda block all of it out. Now that I moved to a smaller town, I find myself talking to strangers much more frequently.
sieep··on Stripe reportedly makes offer to acquire PayPal
Im not sure how the tech works, but they mimic ATM transactions at the POS system & then round up the transaction giving the customer cash back.

This keeps things legal here in MI with a lot of potential for middleware software (between the dispo & bank) that automates compliance reporting that is required by banks. Shops that offer POS systems have competitive advantage still but that may no longer be the case.

sieep··on Tell HN: YC companies scrape GitHub activity, send spam emails to users
I consider any company funded by YC to be engaging in legally grey or fraudulent activity.
sieep··on Stripe reportedly makes offer to acquire PayPal
Someone new will arise to fill the market gap if there is demand. Saw it firsthand here with the Marijuana industry in Michigan shifting around payment providers to accept credit card transactions after it was legalized. A lot of hoops had to be jumped through. I think it still has the potential to be bad, but it does give opportunities.
sieep··on eBay buys Depop for $1.2B in effort to lure younger shoppers
I was surprised eBay had the cash on hand for this. Will be interesting to see how it goes.
sieep··on Castlevania and Bloodstained developer Shutaro Ida dies aged 52
Yes some recommendations would be nice
sieep··on Ask HN: How to handle a 'Junior' title when Im doing Mid-level work? Time to go?
Thats sound advice. But why that on the title? Just curious if youd elaborate. I feel like if they are asking of me to do code review, SQL, etc. then my title should align with the rest of the market, especially after a year + multiple years BI experience. Feels like its easy for you to say that about my title when you're not in my shoes (and presumably haven't been called a junior dev for awhile now). Seems completely reasonable to expect a title change at this point, in my opinion.
sieep··on F# 10
Sure. They really knocked it out of the park with performance in .NET 10. I feel like it matches Go or BEAM performance now but with a lot more tools at your disposal.

I use the 'code-first approach' most the time which really leans into the performance improvements. I can write C# data models that automatically update the database schemas on the SQL side. This is obviously possible in other languages/runtimes, .NET just feels quicker to me once you get it all down and gives you more ways to solve problems than most other languages.

sieep··on F# 10
yes a key part of the ecosystem! Roslyn is open source as well IIRC
sieep··on F# 10
You are correct to mention that especially since theyve eased up on their licensing recently, I had in mind that it was still paid for software like Visual Studio. Rider is much better for .NET than VS code!
sieep··on F# 10
Luckily .NET, the compiler, and such are open source now so Microsoft really just handles the big picture stuff. Its got great performance and the new .NET 10 might be my favorite backend runtime ever created.
sieep··on F# 10
From my understanding, .NET, C# F# are all open source. The main thing in the tool chain that isnt is Visual Studio but most people can get by with VS Code
