Congrats Tom. I wonder if a particular model could be used as a baseline for these values or if they are already doing that to check first level prior to a human in the loop? I myself have been using AI for this purpose and have found it getting pretty good. I know its not a replacement for thoughtful moderation however, a tailored model for HN would also promote the tradition of HN in terms of having it not just be about who is there and have it more trained on its best practices to promote consistency, possibly as an aid.

What struck me was the interruptions to the AI speaking which seemed commonplace by the team members in the demo. We will quickly get used to doing this to AIs and we will probably be talking to AIs a lot throughout the day as time progresses I would imagine. We will be trained by AIs to be rude and impatient I think.

Currently, what I get out from it is a good quick overview with some hallucinations. You have to actually know what you're doing to check the code. However, this is a fast moving target and will in no time be doing that part as well. I think stepping back and thinking maybe this thing is just giving us more and more agency and what can we do with that? We need to adapt to not constrain ourselves to just being programmers. We are humans with agency and if we can adapt to this, we can be more and more powerful having our technical insight that we've gained over the years to do some really cool things. I have a startup and with ChatGPT I've managed to do all parts of the stack with confidence and used it for all sorts of business related things outside of coding that have really helped move the business forward quickly.
sebringj commented on Web components will outlive JavaScript frameworks jakelazaroff.com/words/we... · Posted by u/cdme
IMO Web Components generally suck in developer experience but are good for bridging different js projects or web frameworks as the web components are very compatible between js frameworks. You can literally make a thin wrapper to expose your js flavored framework-based component such as react for example and expose it as a web component to another system such as angular 1 for example and it will work pretty well. You could potentially use this strategy to have parallel tracks of development where you can create an entirely new framework from scratch and start to share that functionality in the legacy project while you're in the process of upgrading which could take a long long time in some cases. At least you won't be continually working on the old one and adding more tech debt... although one could argue this wrapper approach is tech debt.

I'm currently using Deno deploy and found it to be fantastically performant and dumb simple for my lone wolf project. I'm experienced in AWS development in larger teams and it is nice to see a move away from complexity for a change where you can easily set something up without having to think about setting it up at all. The DNS stuff was just dead simple as well and automatic ssl certs was super nice. I have 0 complaints for what this is trying to be and am excited for the road map.

You can also continue to chat with it in each of its answers and ask it why it said this or that and see how it works out corrections and clarifications which to me is so much more significant as that's how people converse. One-shot answers are for google.
I think didn't do a good comment here because I don't mean that exactly. I don't necessarily care so much about it telling me how it got there. Rather I like it when I ask someone about something then I can ask them... "Tell me more about this or that or explain that in more detail" which I can never do in google.

There's quite an interesting analogy there. I guess you could have a four wheeled wagon structure similar to wooden wagons of old, then an engine added and now electronics added, as an analogy to the triune brain. It's not that modern cars are built on wagon chassis but that the basic body with four wheels structure is similar for functional reasons. Probably similarly with the 'reptilian brain.' Our bits are maybe similar because they do the same job rather than because they evolved from that.
ya that's another way i would say it as well

I can think of it like the wheels are still there, the frame, engine, body etc but the design and materials have been completely refined and overhauled to be modern future tech today. The car even has new stuff like electronics and wifi. Meaning there are still base conceptual things there but they are not the same...knowing that reasoning by analogy is flawed but still satisfying to me to feel like I understand it enough.
