  4. Ask HN: How does AI understand what I write?

    I get generative AI. I understand the concept of an LLM and how it generates text. AI output processing seems relatively clear to me. What I don't understand is how ChatGPT (or whatever) understands what I write. No…

  15. Ask HN: Is there an accepted name for writing browser-based user scripts?

    The type of development I mean is GreaseMonkey or TamperMonkey scripts -- or even browser plugins -- that modify and "hack" web pages after they've loaded in the browser. Is there a name to refer to this type of thing?…

  20. Ask HN: How can I enable a dumber phone to carry sometimes?

    I use my smartphone too much. I'm trying to embrace boredom, so I've been leaving it behind when I go out to dinner and such. However, I'd still like to be contactable via text during those times. (Apps are the problem…

  21. Ask HN: What's the best software for screencast production on Windows?

  25. Ask HN: For one-way publishing websites, are JavaScript UI frameworks helpful?
