And what a better time to set optimization aside when schools and universities are getting less and less students each semester due to population decline.

Interestingly, you dont consider your 'inverse' point: that now the manual part of teaching the stuff can (and definitely will) be automated with LLMs.

It will become similar to coding: humans evaluate, LLMs just provide what has been mechanical for a couple hundred years

Excellent motto, too good to pass a genuine appreciation comment

Can it be dangerous to use uv as it can cause mutations in pathogens potentially making them evolve even faster?

I assume the kind of uv used must be fatal, but is there a chance that a tiny percentage makes it?

Definitely, but maybe that lets me see clear that is not that 'spotify killed the thrill of the hunt ' but rather 'i miss the old times', which wouldn't get as voted in HN.

In other words, clickbait title, not an interesting conversation topic.

Bad take, the more accessible is something to find, the easier it is for people to listen to it. And I think if you do music, you want as much ears listening to your tunes.

This romanticizes logistical issues for nostalgia purposes.

I did not live through that era, but his description makes me thankful i didn't have to go through all that to find my favorite music

OP, I would encourage you to take a sleep test. While it seems to be correlated with sound, it sounds (pun not intended) way too similar to my OSA symptoms

I can second this. The app basically shows more of what is proven to keep you in the app. It's kinda revealing to be frank: instead of getting mad with it just do some introspection.

Your comment is written as it learning a language was not a subjective experience, which could not be further from the actual thing

Spanish is such a blessing as mispronouncing a word rarely changes the meaning.

Whereas in Chinese or to a lesser degree English, you have to very mindful on how you pronounce stuff.

As a native Spanish speaker the thing I dread the most is grammar and the absurd amount of verbal times there are. Even native speakers don't speak with perfect grammar.

What does not get used, atrophies.

Critical thinking, forming ideas, writing, etc, those are too stuff that can atrophy if not used.

For example, a lot of people can't locate themselves without a GPS today.

To be frank I see it really similar to our muscles: don't want to lose it? Use it. Whether that is learning a language, playing an instrument or the task llms perform.

I think this explains something of our human nature that we would not even know we have: It is coded within us to help people in need as we can very well be there at any future moment.

Just think about it, we are a social species and without this type of behaviors it makes no sense for individuals to stay together. It is a strategy of our genes to keep successfully replicating.

But even so, I agree with the author there is something really spiritual about this: deeply contradictory but firmly rooted in our nature.

Just an open thought, what if most improvement we are seeing is not mostly due to LLM improvements but to context management and better prompting?

Ofc the reality is a mix of both, but really curious on what contributes more.

Probably just using cursor with old models (eww) can yield a quick response.

Lovely read.

Just a curious question if the authors or any maintainers read this comment:

Does this bug fix break the functionality of re-connecting the client? Or how would the client know they need to use the same port as the previous session?

(My understanding is that a new client coming from the same IP and different port will now be treated as a new player instead of a reconnect)

Ad verecundiam. One does not need to be in a institution to come up with interesting observations/ results.

To be frank the reason that make me question it the most is how repetitive the redaction is. Seems LLM-like.

However, that's not a valid reason to discard an interesting result.

I'm a little bit skeptical but i dont have any objective argument or experience in the field to justify it. I didn't want to post it, but I was surprised that almost no one in the hn comments had the same feeling.

Don't get me wrong, I would love this finding to be replicable, it would be pivotal as what other nerves could we stimulate to change perception (think pain, mental health issues, loss of senses).

Also, I wonder if this could take us closer to understand a little bit more of how the brain works. Like this could be a great way for normalizing 'inputs' and see how different brains react to it.

Very very exciting news, but I will hold on my hype until someone else can replicate this result.

Sometimes the simplest of experiments/observations can lead to useful results: You can't do science without challenging your beliefs.

And while this result isn't extraordinary, it definitely creates knowledge and could close the gap to more interesting observations.

Not ultra experienced with react, but I have shot myself in the foot just because the way react is made compared to other frameworks:

- infinite loop due to re-rendering on the render function (it happens every single time i come back to react) - using useEffect when not required - nested object updates (dunno if this is still an issue) - class vs whatever the name is (className?)

Overall as another comment said I feel more fighting against react pitfalls than focusing on my application's logic. That really takes a toll in productivity as part of your brain loses a small portion of 'RAM'/cognitive load as you need to make an active effort to not shoot yourself in the foot. I guess most people get used to it, but for me it just never clicks knowing there are similarly performant frameworks with way more friendly APIs.

I haven't used background tasks/agents in cursor. Could you provide an example for stuff that you use it for?

Last time I received it I was on a 14th floor and I was terrified. Longest seconds of my life while I waited the P wave to arrive.

Try biking. I can't run due to a hip issue and it has been very fun for me.

IMO the mistake was not knowing what he was doing. He basically (at a macro scale) copy-pasted stack overflow code without understanding what it does... We've all been there.

I don't think LLMs are at blame here, it is a tool and it can be used poorly. However, I do wonder what's the long term effects on someone who uses them to work on things they are knowledgeable about. Unfortunately this is not explored in the article.

I don't think it is WAF related, it clearly says:

> If you are owner of this website, prevent this from happening again by upgrading your plan on the Cloudflare Workers dashboard.

Looking into it, my hypothesis is that the owners page is SSRd using cloudflare workers and they reached the daily limits.

Why is healthline so high on the block/lower list? (Excluding Pinterest)

IMO I like the fact that they link sources to their claims, which is very rare on the current web. I think of it as a somewhat trustable source of information. Am I wrong?

To be honest, current format worked perfectly for me: I ended up reading all entries without feeling something was off in how they were organized. I really really liked that each section had a concrete example, please don't remove that for future entries.

Thank you for sharing your insights! Very generous.

Chat gpt is already free to a very generous extent, and covers 80% (if not more) of the learning resources you could need for almost any topic, theory-wise. I'd risk saying it can adapt for most people's needs.

For practical knowledge you just need to do it over and over. A good mentor/teacher would help a lot, but the very very basics I'd say are learnable by yourself. It's as simple as doing it over and over and keeping a critical eye on what went good and not.

As a result, I don't think free public colleges would enable more people to -actually- learn compared to what we have today. However, I find it would be a great place to build community and find people with similar interests to you, which is quite rare to do without an app these days.

I hate many details from Apple's software, but most stuff people are complaining about is solved by downloading an app/plugin that does it. However, this should not be the case when you're paying for a 'premium' OS. It's highly frustrating and time consuming.

At this point I think I've spent more time tweaking macOS settings, downloading and testing stuff than I did when I had Ubuntu as my work OS. Ridiculous.

I think this is more of a rationalized excuse to not enjoying your job. I'm not saying that debugging, learning or tackling hard problems is not frustrating. However, if that frustration outweighs the fulfillment that you get from it, one should just say 'I dont enjoy doing this' instead of 'I wont be doing this when I'm 50'.

I've seen many times on HN people complaining on the OpenAI scraping to be quite intense unnecessarily, not respecting robots.txt, among other statements.

It seems too much of a coincidence that 'deep research' was released three days ago (Feb 2) and that the National Library of Medicine site has been under heavy traffic around Jan 27 (based on what I could see on the internet archive).

I have 0 evidence to back up the claim that the cause of this heavy traffic comes from OpenAI, but just wanted to note it on HN to see if sparks some interesting discussions.

> The Old Command: git checkout

I didn't even know git switch existed, let alone git checkout was considered the old alternative. I feel old.

To be fair I started learning git a little less than 10 years ago but woah, I can't express how it feels that someone learning git today will be confused of why I use git checkout. Like using old fashioned language.

More on topic, this guide would've been super useful when I was learning. It is really easy to follow and covers common FAQs.

I fondly remember being intimidated by my first merge conflict, aborting it and just doing some workarounds to prevent the conflict.
