Is this an ad for Zyns (whatever that is; I refuse to do a web search to find out)?

No LOL. Zyns are nicotine pouches you insert into your gums for a gradual release of nicotine. They're powerful. Unfortunately, I went from using 3mg Zyns to 6mg Zyns, and had to sit in front of my bathroom sink, fighting the urge to retch. Be careful with them, but they're a good way to ramp up to cigarette smoking

There is so much to this issue. One major problem is the lack of fourth places. If I want to be low-key social where do I go? Some people say the library but IMHO libraries are not social spots. The concept of man shed is cool except for the gender aspect but it's mostly private sheds. There is a maker space in the city but membership is limited and there is a wait list.

As was Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes. Oddly in my own corporate travels, the practice seemed to have stopped mid-90's. In the '00's and later, cubicle walls were mostly barren. After '08, cubicles had disappeared altogether and they just lined us up along long tables like cordwood.

I clicked only because I'm interested in doing a project related to MIDI, so I was surprised to immediately see that this project was built with Claude Code and unlike, most AI-assisted projects, includes the prompts. Skimming the comments here it appears most people have not noticed this. I suggest re-submitting this project again but with a headline that promotes it as a demonstration for vibe coding.

There really isn't a good way to put a note to those prompts in a headline (putting "I vibecoded this" would just get it flagged). I'll likely do a blog post discussing the prompt process at some point.

Good question though I expect it'll get buried amongst all the other comments. Maybe create an "Ask HN" post.

I asked Google/Gemini about a tutorial and it responded with several YouTube videos and also produced this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/AI_Agents/

Found this too: https://nitter.net/bcherny/status/2007179832300581177#m

Thank you. It is always intimidating to see how people are using 5-10 agents for coding, but haven't seen practical examples of the process and how people do this specifically.

Let's see you do it! Do cars and solar panels.

Have you seen what the president of the US posts about renewable energy?

No.

Probably should have linked to the actual report and not a second-hand condensation of it: https://www.quilter.ai/project-speedrun#

That home page is so promotional that it will probably generate (even) worse responses but we can at least put it in the toptext above. Thanks!

Where are the mainstream media stories about this? The article mentioned the story blowing up but a Google search showed only one media outlet covering the story.

Or like any mea culpas. I remember Larry Summers scoffing about this, as well as our very own Walter Bright.

Google AI does a pretty good job of this already:

> I'm on page 750 of Anathem. Please give me a recap.

> You are currently reading the section of the book where the main characters have been launched into orbit aboard a repurposed military rocket and are preparing to board the alien starship, the Daban Urnud.

more recap details follow....

Given different printings and formats for books, I’d be very surprised if asking about a specific page number works reliably at all across books. I don’t even know if epub has page numbers embedded to keep track because the number of words on a page of an ereader is entirely arbitrary. My wife has her kindle in grandma mode or something. Only about 50 words fit on a page.

I would expect much more reliable results from chapter numbers though.
