It would be nice if we could get a Show HN category specifically for this. I feel like often times when people share projects (whether on HN or otherwise) they're immediately downvoted and cast aside as "AI".
Can we get a forum for sharing project that were _proudly_ built with AI due how ambitious they are?
Haven't you heard? The popular thing to do nowadays is to accuse someone of using AI the second anything is produced whatsoever.
Shockingly, I got Claude to create me a pretty great one (in the first hero section)
https://arbi.ggFor so long I did struggle to get Claude to do this, but I solved for it by finding example promo videos that looked similar to what I wanted (which took some time), then asking Claude to describe what it saw in the videos (which also took some time) in order to make sure Claude was seeing what I was seeing.
A couple of rounds of this and it's 1st attempt at a promo video was actually 85% of the way there. The last 10%+ just took 2 or 3 rounds of prompts.
Stupid question. Can I still play my video games if I use this?
Friend, what do you think the capital is used for?
> Cancelling visas or deporting them will not get American workers their jobs back
So I think what some in this thread are saying is it quite literally 'will' bring American workers the literal jobs that the H1Bs aren't doing anymore.
> but a large amount of them work hard to come here and setup roots
So two things can definitely be true here. They can be hardworking and well-intentioned, and they can still be used as a wedge between American workers and slightly better jobs
How many times do you think the phrase "NEVER PROVIDE POLITICAL COMMENTARY" appear in the instructions for this? XD
You don't NEED one, but you probably SHOULD have one. It just helps speed things up immensely and lowers the chances that you'll burnout.
"If you want to go fast, go by yourself. If you want to go far, go together."
What clues did you use in this to spot Claude?
You get access to more APIs specific to the native platform, the looks and feel is far better (I can easily see when an app isn't a native iOS app - e.g., Liquid Glass is awesome), and the tool ecosystem (e.g., Xcode is specifically built for Apple Apps).
I do want to follow up to my own comment here, and just mention that I realize that capital's entire point is to get us to blame each other instead of capital (e.g., American software vs Indian|Chinese|etc software).
The moral of the story is that two things can be true at the same time: A lot of H1Bs are rightfully thrilled at the opportunity to work for decent US companies and make decent money to provide for their family. While a lot of American engineers are rightfully wary of the knock-on effects of hiring workers who can be cheaper and more 'malleable' (in a manner of speaking).
> I think the situation is quite simple. Companies want the best candidates they can get, and the larger the recruitment pool, the better.
Respectfully, this sounds terribly naive.

For B2B SaaS apps, you'll notice that the panels and navs (top navigation, bottom navigation, left-navigation, etc) are much smaller (which is a slightly more 'modern' look) - e.g., OpenAI/Claude dashboards. In general components are more uniform/standard, fonts are smaller. Again, this is just what I've noticed for specifically B2B SaaS apps. If you ask Claude Design to build you one - you'll see exactly what I'm referring to.
I honestly don't mind it. For these B2B SaaS apps its nice to have some site consistency. It almost reminds me of a a new "Bootstrap" way of doing things.

If you're like me, and 99% of your LinkedIn feed is just "likes this" or "celebrates this" repost spam from LinkedIn to make it "appear" like their feed is an actual feed, add this to your uBlock filters:linkedin.com##div:has(> h2):has-text(/likes this/i)
linkedin.com##div:has(> h2):has-text(/celebrates this/i)
linkedin.com##div:has(> h2):has-text(/supports...
I understand the source is thehindu.com - but I'm assuming there's no way we can get that title updated? "Government orders..." sort've misleadingly implies something that "Indian government orders..." does not.
Great point. Devs have relatively no incentive to be more productive for their orgs, and all the incentive to be more productive on their own personal work. The AI benefit to devs is real, just not for large enterprises IMO outside of automating clerical/mundane work.
A bit of meta: Claude Design -> Claude Code or Codex.
IMO Claude Code almost feels like a hack for getting web-ish products off the ground. It does such a great job of making the UI mockups interactive and providing a great "base" that the agents can use. Once you get that "base" the way you want in Claude Design, export it, then literally just tell your agent "Hey, the exported design project is /at/this/path - read it and implement it". No it's seriously been that simple - either agent can handle it. From there, you can A/B test to see which agent you prefer. The better agent is going to depend on your project and your prompting.
Good luck :)
My final answer on this is that we just can't say anything affirmative because all of our projects/codebases are completely different. I've gone back and forth on the "codex vs claude" being better, and while I'm currently of the believe that Claude is superior, I understand that might be the case for _my_ particular set of projects and _my_ personal way of interacting with the model.

Meh, seems he's using arbitrary metrics to make arbitrary claims (which is fine). But to just state that "Life is so much better in 2026 than in 1926 for Americans" is obviously a pretty nebulous statement. It's like saying "Beaches in 2026 are so much better than beaches in 1926". Sure you could cherry-pick some metrics to make the case, and someone else could cherry-pick metrics to make the opposite case. Sort've a "talking just to hear yourself talk" kind've thing.
I think Elon owns a lot of real estate in these guys’ heads. When you have $200B+ in the bank, little else matters others than being seen as a titan of industry IMO. I think the fact that Musk has Tesla and Spacex (even with all his extra curricular activities) makes a guy like Zuckerberg seethe that he’s just “the internet websites guy”.

Exactly what the title says. I've recently realized I rarely need something as powerful as GPT5 (or as expensive!). GPT-4o-mini has been doing the job well. Curious to see if OSS has caught up to this model in anyone's experience.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. Maybe a little preachy, but the gist of the point isn't incorrect
