This makes Hacker News usable again. Thank you.
Actually it is. I haven't seen any Google AI summaries since I started using non-Google search engines.
Use a different search engine such as Ecosia or noai.duckduckgo.com
Offer low pay and start using lines of code as a metric. Not only will you not hire such people, you'll also filter out any who might already be on your team! (Assuming "these people" is a euphemism for "skilled…
"Thanks Obama" is sometimes used sarcastically by people who actually don't mind Obama, as a parody of how conservatives would blame literally anything on him. Too bad the above post didn't give enough context to say…
Thanks for letting me know about mupdf! One of my favorite things about KOReader is its ability to handle humongous PDFs on extremely modest hardware; it's good to know what this ability is based on.
Windows would be a whole different build target, and Koreader works great through WSL anyway.
The thread title should be updated to clarify that it's a JavaScript-specific article.

The current adoption of LLMs by developers seems to be a bit more than 20%. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/10/06/about-1-i... This is just for professional jobs (and is 9 months old) of course.
It's a completely different statement, so yes.
"Write" is not the correct verb for how you produce software if you get it from GenAI. May I suggest a few replacements? "Plagiarize" or "excrete" are both more fitting in different ways.
If the outcome is that most vibe-coders leave Codeberg alone, that seems like a win for Codeberg.
If you say "publishers require DRM" and then say that publishers sometimes sell books without DRM, you might need to review the definition of the word "require". Some publishers require DRM. Which is entirely different…
Selling books doesn't require DRM at all. I buy DRM-free books all the time. As an example: Kobo will tell you, at the bottom of each book's page, if it has DRM or not. And it will happily sell you a book without DRM…
I'm anti-AI as heck, but this is a really good point.
Bicycles don't consume the energy of a small nation.
Yes. They're using AI to write Git commits. They're using AI to delete directories. They're using AI to summarize articles written by AI. And the planet just gets hotter and hotter.
Now this is the sort of stock phrase AI should use more
I already gave a specific example. And since your second paragraph shows that you don't understand what generative AI even is or how it works, you have got some learning due before you continue to discuss AI.
Easy: counting letters in a word. There are tons of examples where AI confidently presents incorrect letter counts as fact. Search it up, really! Good example article:…
Wow, you are drinking the corporate kool-aid eagerly. The brain understands concepts. I can say, for example, "a penny saved is a penny earned" and understand that I'm talking about money and savings in general. I've…
They may have been implying it; I'll say it. Token prediction machines do not produce meaningful output. It is much more likely that they will regurgitate, without attribution, something meaningful that a human wrote…
It is inevitable that a post criticizing grammar or spelling will, itself, contain a grammar or spilling error.
Search engines without ads exist. Try noai.duckduckgo.com. Decent search results, actual sources, no risk of hallucination, no extreme energy cost.
