Staying up to date on the best AI dev workflow?

With the pace of new AI coding tools coming out, it's hard to keep up to date on best practices/tools/techniques to get the best use out of them while also staying focused on my project.How do you all discover improvements to your dev workflow in this wild AI world?Any bloggers, YouTubers, subreddit, etc you recommend? Or just a summary of what you've currently tried and "settled" on at the...

I thought the upgrade to metal/glass + new design looked great which I included in "hardware".

Beyond that https://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Google-Pixel-9-vs-Pixel-8... shows:

- Much brighter screen - Next gen tensor chip - 50% ram upgrade - Better camera + battery - SOS functionality - Better ultrasonic fingerprint sensor

Holistically felt like meaningful improvements across the board to me, but I understand where you're coming from. I think maybe I have lower expectations for improvements year to year

The dominance of the negativity in these comments is noteworthy. Personally, I thought it was a exciting update with major hardware improvements, some compelling AI demos and use cases at a similar price point as the past. Top tech reviewers e.g. MKBHD has similar impressions.

Mostly just curious as to why there are ~0 positive comments here. I suspect could be:

1) anti-google HN bias - perhaps deserved? 2) it's simply more tempting/satisfying/rewarding to complain about rather than to praise big companies 3) any other ideas?

I'm guessing the 95% negative comment proportion isn't representative though so I was curious if anyone had any explanations for the HN skew

I just tried this on my Pixel 6 Pro and it unexpectedly worked (by defaulted to showing the notification pane). Hidden indeed!
How do you compare to https://betterstack.com/logtail which also seems to be built on Clickhouse?
Re:YDB – An open-source Distributed SQL Database on Tuesday April 19, 2022 @02:48PM (#31087240)
Are there any notable differences or benchmarks between YDB vs CockroachDB, Spanner, or Yugabyte?
That’s correct. If a positive effect in the treatment arm of the study is found to be strong enough, it is deemed unethical to continue giving patients the placebo as control. Hence, they terminate the study and proceed to the next phase of approval
Re:Andreessen Horowitz is opening an office in SF on Monday March 11, 2019 @04:35PM (#19362560)
My guess: brand/name recognition is HUGE for vc as they can get first-look to the top founders/start-ups. A16Z is one of the best VC brands and they want to perpetuate that (and being in SF paints that image). Relatedly, the start-ups A16Z funds can afford to be in SF. It's the less well-funded companies that are moving out...and are probably companies that A16Z passed on.

Does anyone know of any competing/more established libraries that offer similar features?
Re:Applications for YC W15 are open on Monday August 25, 2014 @11:14PM (#8225531)
for this YC batch, it's not ideal. but, in the longer run, finding a good co-founder is likely worth it
Re:Applications for YC W15 are open on Monday August 25, 2014 @10:05PM (#8225331)
For this to be valuable, we need more people. Would you be willing to make a independent post about this?

Ask Sam: Break down of web/mobile startups vs. 'Other' Start-ups

I've been seeing a number of interesting start-ups in areas (energy, biotech) outside of YCs historical focus on web/mobile based start-ups (as you had written about). Realizing there isn't a well-defined dichotomy between the two, do you have a rough % breakdown of the two types of start-ups in the current batch and how this might change in upcoming batches?

Ask HN: Swift or Obj-C for new iOS App?

I am making my first iPhone application and have spent time learning both Swift and Objective-C as well as the necessary iOS frameworks. This question has been asked before, but given that recent X-code 6 Betas are likely more stable and the community around Swift is more developed--do you feel a new-comer's first iOS application should be developed in Swift or Obj-C?

Ask HN: How many people are on HN?

Just wondering if there were any released metrics or clever ways to estimate the volume of users looking at Hacker News (say at least once a week?). I imagine it is a high multiple of the number of posters/registered users. http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=hacker%20news%2C%20hn%2C%20news.ycombinator.com%2C%20ycombinator%2C%20yc&cmpt=q)

Ask HN: What do you do to speed up/ease software development?

Just wondering what tricks/tools the HN community uses to help reduce coding time/effort. For example, Jade as a CSS pre-processor, Stylus as a temple engine for node, twitter bootstrap, text-editor autocomplete config, custom scripts, keyboard shortcuts, other packages/libraries like jshint, debug tools, coding practices, aliases, etc.My current stack involves node, angular, postgresql,...
