Can't even ctrl+f the conversation, wish openai would fix that
latenightcoding··on Apple Neural Engine: Architecture, Programming, and Performance
I skimmed through it, what makes you think it is slop?
latenightcoding··on LuaJIT 3.0 proposed syntax extensions
not even close, because there are a lot of places where you can't run LuaJIT
latenightcoding··on Internet Archive Switzerland

latenightcoding··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
what filters are you using to find the papers, anyone you enjoyed/recommend?
latenightcoding··on Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion
and they only got really good like last December.
latenightcoding··on Learning Lean: Part 1
I never hijack non-ai threads to talk about AI, but can anybody share their experience using LLMs to code in Coq, Lean, etc.
latenightcoding··on Stories from 25 Years of Software Development
working in software before LLMs, you had to be there.
latenightcoding··on Fabrice Bellard: Biography (2009) [pdf]
What I wonder is: are current LLMs even good for the type of work he does: novel, low-level, extremely performant
latenightcoding··on Show HN: Gemini Pro 3 imagines the HN front page 10 years from now
totally forgot about Magic Leap
latenightcoding··on AI agents find $4.6M in blockchain smart contract exploits
when the core devs lose money, the rules change.
latenightcoding··on Scaling HNSWs
>> More hands is usually better than simpler systems for reasons that have nothing to do with technical proficiency.

If you are working on open source databases, or something close to the metal I agree with antirez, if you are working at some established tech business (e.g: a very old ecommerce site), I agree with you

latenightcoding··on AI scrapers request commented scripts
when I used to crawl the web, battle tested Perl regexes were more reliable than anything else, commented urls would have been added to my queue.
latenightcoding··on Wikipedia as a Graph
Very cool concept, but it doesn't work too well.
latenightcoding··on KX Community Edition
With the rise of LLM-coding do these specialized/niche languages lose their edge? (i.e: prototyping speed, job security, etc)
latenightcoding··on AI coding tools can reduce productivity
LLMs make me 10-20x more productive in frontend work which I barely do. But when it comes to low-level stuff (C/C++) I personally don't find it too useful. it just replaces my need to search stackoverflow.

edit: should have mentioned the low-level stuff I work on is mature code and a lot of times novel.

latenightcoding··on Duolingo CEO tries to walk back AI-first comments, fails
It's crazy this app has barely changed in like a decade, they even went public but the learning experience is just worse
latenightcoding··on Ask HN: How much better are AI IDEs vs. copy pasting into chat apps?
It is in some projects, OP gave a good example: hedge funds.
latenightcoding··on Polars Cloud: The Distributed Cloud Architecture to Run Polars Anywhere
pandas has been around for years and never tried to sell me a service.
latenightcoding··on Time Warp: Delayed-choice quantum erasure
To be fair, almost everything in quantum is poorly named. That's how they attract funding.
latenightcoding··on AI companies cause most of traffic on forums
some of these companies are straight up inept. Not an AI company but "babbar.tech" was DDOSing my site, I blocked them and they still re-visit thousands of pages every other day even if it just returns a 404 for them.
latenightcoding··on Translating 10M lines of Java to Kotlin
> we decided that the only way to leverage the full value of Kotlin was to go all in on conversion

Could someone expand on this please.

latenightcoding··on BlenderGPT
Nah, this shouldn't be on the front page. Blender is a registered trademark (I only clicked because I thought it was project from the Blender team) and OP is not transparent about this just being a wrapper.
latenightcoding··on Zapata AI Ceases Operations
This company was always a grift. I dont beleive university professors should be allowed to run startups while they are still teaching.
latenightcoding··on Launch HN: Inkeep (YC W23) – Copilot for Support (think Cursor for help desks)
Ahh just when founders had finally stopped pitching their startups as "the uber for X" now we get "Cursor for X"
latenightcoding··on Prep: Golang Comptime
re: Jai. I have never seen a language that is not even available get so much love and benefit of doubt.
latenightcoding··on RabbitMQ 4.0
It isn't more popular because it's not easy to use it properly.

I haven't touched it in years so I can't expand, but when I did, I had to write so many wrappers and add extra logic to use it properly.
