Haha, one can dream! ;)

I'd be happy with "Files scanned: {0 or 1 or 100}" too ;)

"When I'm building something for my own use, I care about every aspect of it. I care about the unseen parts. I care about the process. It brings me satisfaction. And when I'm buying something, I like to know that the person who made it cared as much about their craft as I do.

I don't consider than pandering. It's respect: Respect for the craft, for the craftsperson, and for the end recipient/customer."

This was my intention. Thank you!

"As of 2025, shame as a utility, is a weak tool"

This is going on a t-shirt

Haha trust me, I have thoughts on that too!

Said better than I could. Thank you!

(author) I can assure you my intentions were much less sinister (and simpler ;))

"Knox...advanced security solution built on private blockchain technology"

Hmm. What would you need consensus and immutability for?

Nonsensical.

Hello HN! I wrote this as an approachable explanation of all the mystery surrounding LLMs for my non-technical friends.

Still improving it, but would _really_ love feedback on this - format, writing or design. I'm still very green behind the ears :)

Sounds like an insane ride xD

Well articulated!

Hard agree. Same for Siri.

I don't get why they just don't do it. There are jailbreaks, making it talk trash and so on, but is that the majority of users? I doubt it.

Flabbergasted to say the least. Dude do your job. Fix the process. Don't set a bad example.

Especially when you can't see the product and the readme has placeholders left over from ChatGPT

Clever!

Yeah, I guess I expected something much more interesting when I saw it on the front page (and the other positive comments)

I thought this article was just stating the obvious over and over?

The answer is _always_ auth over obfuscation.

Did you say normal person? It's more like

*or just Google "convert to jpg" like a normal person, scroll through fRee cOnVerTeR results from companies that have nothing to do with image conversion (for SEO of course), click whichever is the least clowny name (with free and fast in the description), upload image, hit the convert button OOPS THAT WAS AN AD, go back, upload again, hit the right convert button, watch image appear in an animation framed by ads, click the download button (the one below the HIGH QUALITY button that's disabled with a lock.png begging for upgrades)

I was excited to use spec-kit. I had to dump it eventually when it generated steps that were the equivalent of Tony Stark building a robot from scratch in a cave when "just screw this bolt on" would have sufficed.

Always made it too complex, and at some point it wasn't worth correcting it anymore.

Great point, I was surprised to see the Minecraft movie myself

Content: "Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević."

I had to read up, and...my goodness.

Apparently the US bombed a neutral Cambodia secretly to incite Vietnam's neighboring countries and put pressure on them, killing 30k to 150k civilians. This caused unrest, and gave way to Khmer Rouge to sieze power, using "defense against the US" as propoganda.

That's sad. It says post humusly he was celebrated as the greatest writer after August someone.

But what's the point, he was gone .-.

I don't understand this position.

LLMs are good at prototyping using data across _all_ similar projects that exist.

It is not a 1-1 copy.

Most frontend is a dozen components. Most backend again is a handful of architectures when it comes to DB/business logic, CRUD.

It goes to say that if you can guide the LLM to build something innovative you can think of, it will put those components together in a reasonable way - good enough to start off with.

For some reason, I find typing in Python to be more ergonomic and "get out of your way" compared to Typescript.

But they both seem to handle typing similarly.

I can't put my finger on why. Anybody else?

I guess one man's noise is another man's treasure :P

Damn that's smart, I read the comments wondering the same!

Agreed

Someone would feed me, put me to sleep and change my nappies and I didn't have to lift a finger

Pardon my French, but...no shit?
