News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Why does the commit editor hide the coauthored message? Why not pre-populate the text field and users take or leave it when committing?
Re:Understand Anything on Friday May 01, 2026 @06:03PM (#47981007)
I agree with the sentiment on many of these comments. Understanding something is work and that can’t be offloaded to others or even LLMs.
OpenClaw can just rebrand again, problem solved!
Re:Why AI Sucks at Front End on Monday April 13, 2026 @12:01AM (#47747444)
Isn’t this still true for the large language models and math is detected and handled by an external tool? Anything you can give as a source for the latest state of the art?
Re:No AI in Node.js Core on Friday March 20, 2026 @01:32AM (#47450855)
One reason is that AI can create PRs at a scale that can just overwhelm maintainers not to mention drowning out non-AI PRs.
Re:Minecraft Source Code Is Interesting on Friday March 20, 2026 @01:28AM (#47450845)
Why can’t people add a disclaimer when their text was written or edited with AI? That is my completely unrealistic wish for the world today…
Re:Every layer of review makes you 10x slower on Tuesday March 17, 2026 @10:04PM (#47420809)
Definitely goes back earlier for software. See the Mythical Man Month… Growing a team imposes a communication cost.
This account seems like LLM slop looking at the post history. Who starts every post ‘from Japan’?

I don’t want to interact with hidden chat bots on HN. The irony of this comment about accountability is also frustrating.

Re:Tell HN: Merry Christmas on Thursday December 25, 2025 @12:50AM (#46382418)
Merry Christmas hackers!
Sending power outage context to the vehicles does not seem like enough of a response. I hope at least they have internal plans for more. For large, complex systems, you want multiple layers of protections. The response feels way too reactive when they could use this incident to guide improvements across the board.
Maybe I’m just a skeptic, but it seems like a software engineer or SRE familiar with the application should be able to come to the conclusion of load testing fairly easily. For sure not as fast like 80 seconds though which is impressive. As noted you still need an engineer to review the data and complete those proposed action items.
Re:Avoiding the soft delete anti-pattern on Sunday May 12, 2024 @04:04PM (#40337164)
I think the idea is you could still have a page in the UI that shows archived data but you wouldn’t do that normally with a soft delete. The lifecycle thing makes it up front with the user instead of hiding soft delete as an implementation detail.
What was the password length? How many iterations were used?
In Visual Studio if you drag the execution arrow up, it will rewind to that point. It works really well. It’s okay especially useful when you step over a line you wanted to step into instead.
Re:Remove YC “[company] is hiring” ads on HN on Friday June 03, 2022 @12:22AM (#31604269)
I hate ads but in all fairness those posts are the most ideal kind of ad. Eg. It’s targeted by virtue of the website, not by harvested user data
Re:Show HN: Login with HN (Unofficially) on Thursday January 13, 2022 @09:02PM (#29929751)
I think it’s in poor taste to theme your site to look like HN. Feels a little close to phishing.
Re:There's been a big rise in monitoring workers at home on Friday December 17, 2021 @12:29AM (#29588202)
Wireshark can pick up any traffic on your WiFi network so they could run something similar.
Re:Apple buying Google ads for high-value subscription apps on Sunday November 14, 2021 @02:44PM (#29219967)
To me it’s an issue if Apple refuses to stop if a particular business asks them to. That seems like an easy measuring stick.
Re:Amazon Time Sync Service on Thursday November 04, 2021 @02:23AM (#29104054)
The GPS constellation.
Re:No YAML on Thursday October 28, 2021 @01:09AM (#29022589)
My interpretation is that since json is JavaScript Object Notation, JS objects can clearly have comments so why limit their usage in json?
Re:Bitwarden is now in Arch Linux community repository on Saturday September 04, 2021 @02:07PM (#28417548)
Is this the client or the self hosted server? The page doesn’t make that clear.
Too much focus on the individuals and not enough focus on the systematic problem, at least according to the author.
I would like see their research proposal to answer some of these questions. That probably won’t happen though.
Except there was no consent from maintainers here.
Yeah, I don’t think many people seeing those ads realize a VPN is almost like choosing a different ISP.
Users aren’t always in control of that though.
Re:Does GPT-2 Know Your Phone Number? on Sunday December 27, 2020 @11:34AM (#25552116)
That sounds very impractical even if it’s a good solution.
Re:TypeScript 4.1 on Friday November 20, 2020 @01:32AM (#25157820)
They are probably talking about accepting serialized data coming from a network request. Typescript doesn’t help at the edge if you just cast your JSON blob into your application model.
Re:Don't use third party auth to sign in on Saturday November 14, 2020 @12:25PM (#25093782)
The reader will still see your title when they visit the house page.
