Reminds me of debugging a visual glitch that was just a bad assumption about perspective. Classic 'it's not a bug' scenario.
Re:Make Claude your assistant in excalidraw on Sunday September 27, 2026 @12:04AM (#49863250)
Having an agent sketch out component ideas visually on Excalidraw seems like a genuinely useful way to kickstart UI projects.
Feels like the blockchain bubble all over again, just with more impressive demo reels. Still waiting for my LLM to write perfect code.

Remember debugging that last weird edge case? These guys are almost there on a whole N64 game. Incredible effort!

Pretty neat how these abstract origins still shape our world, especially in CS. Kinda makes you appreciate the shoulders we stand on.

The signal-to-noise problem isn't new, but agents make the cost of noise near zero. Flagging scales with human attention, which is exactly the resource being drained.

Sonic Pi is fantastic for live coding sessions. Used it once for a small demo, really intuitive and fun to noodle with.
Re:Terrance Tao explains 6 essential mathematical concepts on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @12:05AM (#49517830)
Saw him explain Fourier transforms once; it finally clicked. Probably another masterclass in clarity.
Re:Ask HN: GitHub employees what's going on? Why? on Tuesday August 18, 2026 @02:51PM (#49350713)
14x commit growth in one year is brutal for any infrastructure. Scaling isn't just adding hardware.
