Ask HN: Most (Writing) Tools Are AI-Enabled, Not AI-First. What's Still Missing?

I feel like most AI writing tools are still just that—tools with AI bolted on. They’re not really built around how people actually write. There’s a lot of smoke and mirrors, and not enough stuff that fits the real context and constraints of writing.I’m trying to figure out where the real gaps are, so builders (myself included) can aim at problems that matter, not just whatever’s hyped this...

Ask HN: People using AI daily to write – what's the biggest gap you feel?

I’m looking for hands-on stories from people who write a lot (docs, specs, marketing copy, essays, anything) and already use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, whatevr) or AI features built into editors like Notion.Where does it break your flow? What keeps you from leaning on it harder? If you could torch your current tool-chain and build an “AI-first” editor from scratch, what has to be in there?I...

Thanks for the explanation ^^. Do you have any resource recommendation to learn Smalltalk?
I would if I could! However, I don't have any idea of which screen readers are the most used by blind devs :/
Are these features (properties, reified generics, extension methods etc.) implemented in C# or in Java?
How C# compares to ST then?
Why not to compare ST to Java ? What's the "problem" with java?

Ask HN: Is the Java OO model really broken and does C# provide a better model?

A friend of mine suggested that It would be better if I learn C# rather than Java. According to him, Java's OO model is a little bit. It's better tackled after learning a correct, functional object-oriented language like C#. What do you think? What's the meaning of "broken"? What is the definition of a good OO model?

Ask HN: High-quality video series of C# projects

I am looking for high-quality videos about building stuff in C#.For now, I have watched the two (very good) following series:1. Socket programming in C#: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHLYG7mk_iQnUkCK3SvZVWghJ1Qts9WKn2. Building a compiler in C#: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRAdsfhKI4OWNOSfS7EUu5GRAVmze1t2yAny suggestions?

Thanks for the detailed answer. Would you mind talking a little bit more about the dependencies? What do you mean by a dependency? Is that like another task that needs to be finished before the current one? What is the relation with priority?

Ask HN: Features to help getting things OUT of the TODO list

The existing todo apps are very useful to add things to a todo list and to organize them. These apps push us to keep adding things to the todo list. Indeed, some people confuse a) adding things to the todo list with b) actually doing them. We can go crazy about the organazation (colors, labels, projects etc.). There is a lot that goes into the list and not a lot that goes out from the list....
