"Why I still write raw code instead of prompting the compiler" and "Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI" are my two favorite ones.




"Ask HN: How do you prevent ad-injection in AR glasses?"

Things that I haven't thought but, after seeing it, makes total sense. Scary.


2040 HN:

"Ask HN: How do you prevent ad-injection in my brain implant?"



Good to see that there's new episodes and they've still got their mojo - putting it on my list.

The National Lampoon did it in the early 70's.

IIRC Asimov included this in Foundation; the poor couldn’t afford good adblockers for the implants they’d bought (in the hope of getting a better job)

I think that "Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI" could easily be a post here today

And it’s just a copy of notepad from windows xp.

Given it's HN, it'd likely be emacs, vi(m), or something like acme.

Dave Plummer (ex Microsoft) did this on his YouTuve channel recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmBd39OwvWg

Would also recommend his back catalogue, if you haven't.


"raw code" is going into my permanent lexicon.

I would be the author of the first one

Hot take: regular old source code is just compiler prompting.

Peak HN - captures it perfectly.
