astro-lizard··on Ending my elixir exploratory writing
I have come to the same conclusion in my personal technical writing. I am loath to share ideas to the scraper marketplace just to have some executive prompt an LLM 2 years from now and claim the idea for themselves. I am weary of sharing my academic work with a chatbot as well.
astro-lizard··on CO2 overload, detected in human blood, suggests toxic atmosphere within 50 years
As a software engineer, what can we do to help with anthropogenic emissions? I want to know how I can use my critical thinking to protect the future for us.
astro-lizard··on Ask HN: Should I do a CS masters at Cambridge or start as a new grad at Amazon?
Reddit is full of desperate crabs pulling you down into the bucket. Go to Cambridge, that's literally a once in a lifetime opportunity.
astro-lizard··on Google's 20% 'project' has become AI's 120% 'attention'
Distracted by the LLM-generated style of writing. Not sure whether the author truly writes like that (unlikely) or there was heavy AI assistance in drafting this.
astro-lizard··on Fake building: Claude wrote 3k lines instead of import pywikibot
This comment is evidence that your write-up would have been just fine and understandable by other humans. Using AI to write your technical writing for you makes me lose trust in what you're saying. No one cares if you're a non-native English speaker, just write.
astro-lizard··on Talking to strangers at the gym
I am a woman, height is on the shorter side. I want to add my thoughts around this phenomena.

Oftentimes, a stranger coming up to you on the street spells danger, it has nothing to do with how attractive or unattractive they are.

It's hard to explain if you've never been in a woman's shoes, but you feel like prey. A chance conversation can quickly turn into a decades-long stalking event, one never knows. Unwanted attention for women can feel really dangerous, I have often been catcalled/followed when not with my husband (which is infuriating as an adult woman), and have been followed/catcalled on the street from the moment I turned 14, which you can imagine makes strangers coming up to on the street feel loaded.

astro-lizard··on So where are all the AI apps?
It's aggravating, thanks for calling this out. It's also against HN guidelines to let an LLM edit or write your comments.
