If you're paying tuition for your PhD, you're getting scammed.

Is this true for arts and letters as well (non-STEM)?

You could just use the VSCode theme in Zed.

Don't post generated comments or AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans.

I'll be absolutely honest.

Sometimes I can come across as rude or arrogant or a bit "in ya face" so sometimes I do ask Claude etc to review and rewrite my posts and comments.

It's the autism creeping out and I think it's better to use AI to rewrite a comment than come across as a d*k unintentionally.

I assume nobody is particularly bothered by an autistic person using AI to make sure he's not a d*k by accident?

It's still my comment, just with the miscommunication removed.

What makes you think anything this person wrote contains generated or AI-edited comments?

That'd be like me assuming you don't have a soul. A rather callous assumption, really. Admittedly one with a better evidentiary foundation than your accusation.

Thank you! Totally agreed.

Cheers

Why don't you post it so we can see how much better the AI made it?

Because HN isn't a literary forum.

Maybe it sucks. Maybe it doesn't.

But, I notice a curious pretentiousness when it comes to some people's assumptions about their ability to identify LLM prose. Obviously, the generic first-pass 'chat' crap is recognizable; the kind of garbage that is filling up blog-posts on the internet.

But, one shouldn't underestimate the power of this technology when it comes to language. Hell, the 'coding' skills were just a pleasant side-effect of the language training, if you recall. These things have been trained on millions of works of prose of all styles: its their heart and soul. If you think the superficial monotonous style is all there is, you're mistaken. Most of the obnoxious LLM-style stuff is an artifact of the conversational training with Kenyans and the like in the early days. But, you can easily break through that with better prompts (or fine-tuning it yourself.)

That said, one shouldn't conflate the creation of the content and structure and substance of a work of prose with the manner in which it is written. You're not going to get an LLM to come up with a decent plot... yet. But, as far as fleshing out the framework of a story in a synthetic 'voice' that sounds human? Definitely doable.

His answer is to leave and get a poetry degree, so I’m not sure he’s exactly the revolutionary type.

This has been posted on HN a few times and seems to show that terminal.app is your best bet for most cases if you care about latency: https://danluu.com/term-latency/

Terminal app has no truecolor support, no highres mouse support, no kitty graphics protocol, no double height character support, i'm sure there is more but I now discard it from my tests.

This was a great article when it came out, but it’s very outdated. The laptop used is over 10 years old now.

seems like outdated info

Not sure I can agree, I think the archive you posted is quite well laid out and from a cursory browse I found it easy to navigate. The site in the OP is far worse.

Yeh, a free GitHub and breaking the code into small functions would 10x your flow here

It used to be a 1,000. I guess it’s just a reminder to be succinct.

I got an external trackpad recently too for my Mac, but it feels noticeably less responsive than the one built into my MacBook, even when connected with a USB cable.
