looks like people somehow deleted everything, reset it to starting position
neural_thing··on Show HN: MMOndrian
implemented, thanks for the idea, love it
neural_thing··on Show HN: MMOndrian
oooh good idea thanks
neural_thing··on Show HN: MMOndrian
oh it's gone through a lot of iterations - I have seen Among Us characters, people clearing out the canvas down to 8 rectangles, entire thing going one color, had to delete a few obscenities, etc
neural_thing··on Show HN: MMOndrian
yeah - merging has been tricky to nail down, definitely the thing that's gone through the most iterations so far
neural_thing··on Show HN: MMOndrian
No worries lol. Learning experience for me :)
neural_thing··on Show HN: MMOndrian
people wrote scripts to color everything one color, had to implement some limits, but I think should be good now
neural_thing··on Show HN: MMOndrian
I have a script that generates images every hour, will adapt it to let people save states!
neural_thing··on Show HN: MMOndrian
I think I'm having stability issues with lots of users, will try to figure it out, sorry

neural_thing··on AI assisted search-based research works now
I tested o3 on a medical issue I've had that 50+ doctors couldn't diagnose over the span of 6-7 years, ended up figuring it out through sheer luck. With my first prompt, it gave a list of probabilities, with the correct answer being listed as the third most likely. It also suggested correct tests to run for every option. I trust it way more than I trust human doctors who were confidently wrong about me for years.
neural_thing··on Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work
highly doubt that
neural_thing··on Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work
What percentage of companies can hire an engineer who writes better code than o3?
neural_thing··on Firebase Studio
So much worse than Devin/Replit.

Also, the system prompt encourages it to use Genkit, so it tried to add AI to an email sending function...

neural_thing··on Ask HN: I'm an MIT senior and still unemployed – and so are most of my friends
These days, applying through job portals is a losing strategy. People are overwhelmed with perfect-on-paper AI-generated applications.

Email people directly. DM them on Twitter/LinkedIn. Meet people in person.

neural_thing··on AI 2027
Vernor Vinge as much as anyone can be credited with the concept of the singularity. In his 1993 essay on it, he said he'd be surprised if it happened before 2005 or after 2030

neural_thing··on Safe Superintelligence Inc.
Daniel Gross (with his partner Nat Friedman) invested $100M into Magic alone.

I don't think SSI will struggle to raise money.

neural_thing··on Sam Altman, Lately
If you read the WSJ article, his second investment was $15,000 for 2% of Stripe
neural_thing··on Meta Horizon OS
Very strange how many people are here to dunk on Zuck. He's opening up an OS. THAT'S AWESOME! We should celebrate that in principle, no matter how we feel about him or VR in general.
neural_thing··on Ask HN: Is anybody getting value from AI Agents? How so?
Devin is the only one that I've been able to use. Set up some projects for me, added some features. Could improve, obviously, but net positive for me in terms of time

He isn't though. He hasn't been at AMD or Intel for quite some time.
neural_thing··on Bard is now Gemini, and we’re rolling out a mobile app and Gemini Advanced
If you switch to Gemini as your default assistant, it can't even create calendar events
neural_thing··on Kagi search reached 20k paying members
Kagi has been good apart from weather.

"LA weather" gets you to Louisiana, "SF weather" gets you to Santa Fe. Californians in shambles.
