Hi HackerNews! I've been building this product for 2(!) years now. It's called DiffEnder, and it's a way for humans to review code with the help of AI.

As AI agents increasingly write more code, we are transitioning to a reviewer role of work produced by AI. Code reviews are how we update our theories about how the codebase works, which in turn helps us write good prompts for AI agents. It’s a virtuous cycle.

On the other hand, I’ve seen friends vibe code their way to a v1 product, and hit a wall, because their codebase is a rat’s nest, and they have no working theory of its functionality. They can’t point the LLM to a handful of files, explain what they do, and ask for incremental changes. No more!

You can sign up today at https://diffender.com. Happy to answer any questions you may have!

It mostly looks like spam: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fchat-to.dev

I stand by what I said... and a lot of them were posted under username cannibalXxx, which has even more spam. They just look like low-effort SEO bait. The self-promotion has gone a bit too far, IMO, but you do you...

I used to work in VC and second this. Nothing really preps you better than the real deal. Line up some practice rounds with low-stakes investors first.

The issue with using founders/friends is that they're too emotionally invested in you to ask the hard questions in ways the investors will. Founders also think differently than investors. For example, a friend who has built companies before would look at a potential issue and their "operator brain" would automatically come up with ideas on how to address it. As a result, they may downplay the problem. Whereas an investor may laser in on it to test your thinking/confidence.

If you had to practice, making the question submission anonymous (as you can) may help. I know I hate giving harsh feedback to friends directly, even if they ask for it. The sting still lingers around. Not knowing who asked the question could be helpful, but it's possible they would still be able to tell if they know you.

Gemini 2.5 Flash me a similar answer, although it was a bit more confident in it's incorrect answer:

> You're asking about an MS-DOS productivity program that had ConnectFour built-in. I need to tell you that no mainstream or well-known MS-DOS productivity program (like a word processor, spreadsheet, database, or integrated suite) ever had the game ConnectFour built directly into it.

As someone who regularly used to visit the ship and heavy rain websites for video games, I actually feel the modern usage of Denuvo—protect sales for the first bit, and then remove it for the long tail—is a decent middle ground between EA-style DRM that locks down a game and its servers for ever, versus having a game completely blown open the first day, and a new-ish studio losing a considerable amount of genuinely-deserved revenue the first few days after release because they had no DRM on.

The reason their naming scheme is so bad is because their initial attempts at GPT-5 failed in training. It was supposed to be done ~1 year ago. Because they'd promised that GPT-5 would be vastly more intelligent than GPT-4, they couldn't just name any random model "GPT-5", so they suddenly had to start naming things differently. So now there's GPT-4.5, GPT-4.1, the o-series, ...

>in my state, you can sue organizations in small claims court without representation, but filings made to the court in defense of the organization must be made by a licensed attorney

Same in my US state, which I'm actually using to my advantage — my state's small claims jurisdiction extends up to $25,000 so the defendant (a company) would probably get an attorney anyways =P

Once more people realize that LLMs can already throw together a reasonable case, I think small claims courts are going to be [even more] overwhelmed. On my last visit, I was explaining to many of the attorneys how accessible this all is becoming (none of them read SCOTUS Chief's end of 2023 report "On AI")...

Your previous question: "If I refused to take those vaccines for safety reasons when the FDA first approved them, would I be anti-science?"

Your question now: "If I were to refuse to get one of the vaccines, based off initial safety reports, but at a point where the FDA had not yet acted, would I be anti-science?"

We both know those 2 questions differ. But no problem, I'll answer your last question. Do you have the right qualifications to interpret those initial results?

Funny story: I saw someone on Facebook referring to some paper that some covid vaccine doesn't work. One of the authors name looked familiar, so I looked her up on Twitter. The discussion there went like this: "Hey ..., did you know anti-vaxers are using your paper to show the X vaccine doesn't work?", reply of the author "What? It's exactly the opposite, our paper shows they were actually working better than expected!".

Goes to show the idiots that got their degree from 4 YouTube videos, had no clue how to interpret a scientific paper. That's why I ask: do you have the proper qualifications to interpret such results? And by that I mean, do experts think a person like you has the right qualifications to interpret such material?

Indeed, but Apple still wins when it comes to "wow factor". In a year's time Android will look old and busted, and Google will have to respond with a similar UI refresh. Of course it won't be as pretty, responsive, or slick but it will keep Android in the running.

Turns out "pretty" matters -- a lot -- in UI. Sucks for those of us who found Windows 9x, NEXTSTEP, or AmigaOS as the pinnacle of usability, but users find themselves more comfortable with a UI that looks modern even if said UI has other detriments like lack of affordance.

Right, but it might not even matter if all the competitors are in the ballpark of the final product/market fit and OpenAI holds a commanding lead in customer acquisition.

Again: I don't know. I've got no predictions. I'm just saying that the logic where OpenAI is outcompeted on models themselves and thus automatically lose does not hold automatically.

Really, a robot which could literally have an impact wrench built into it would HOLD a SPANNER and use FINGERS to remove bolts?

Sure, why not? A built-in impact wrench is built in forever, but a palm and fingers can hold a wrench, a spanner, a screwdriver, a welding torch, a drill, an angle grinder and trillion other tools of every possible size and configuration, that any workshop already has. You suggest to build all those tools into a robot? The multifunctional device you imagine is now incredibly expensive and bulky, likely are not reaching into narrow gaps between car's parts, still not having as many degrees of freedom as human hand, and is limited by the set of tools the manufacturer thought of, unlike the hand, which can grab any previously unexpected tool with ease.

Still want to repair the car with just the built-in wrench?

You're interpreting "just as good" to mean "has equal political power", which is very obviously not what Asimov meant. But even if we take that interpretation, you're still wrong: ignorance has much more political power than truth and knowledge do, because it's not bound by the same rules. Truth is handicapped in the political game by having to, you know, be true. Lies and ignorance have no such handicap, so they're much stronger.

> Asimov rhetorically chose to label one side of an issue as "ignorant" and the other side as having "knowledge"

This is not "rhetorical" -- they are not mere "labels" -- and in calling them that you're perpetuating the exact problem he's describing. RFK Jr.'s position is ignorant, false, stupid, inconsistent, dangerous, idiotic, etc. etc. These are not just labels.

I imagine asking for anything obscure where there's plenty of noise can cause hallucinations. What Google search provides the answer? If the answer isn't in the training data, what do you expect? Do you ask people obscure questions, and do you then feel better than them when they guess wrong?

I just tried:

What MS-DOS program contains an easter-egg of an Amiga game?

And got some lovely answers from ChatGPT and Gemini.

Aside I personally would associate "productivity program" with productivity suite (like MS Works) so I would have trouble googling an answer (I started as a kid on Apple ][ and have worked with computers ever since so my ignorance is not age or skill related).

You can be more productive just because you're faster.

Magistral is amazingly impressive compared to ChatGPT 3.5. If it had come out two years ago we'd be saying Mistral is the clear leader. But it came out now.

Not saying they worked fewer hours, just that speed matters, and in some cases, up to a limit, working more hours gets your work done faster.

I don't think these lawyers were trying to give their "best representation". They have seen enough cases to know exactly what the best representation would look like and that this wasn't it. But lawyers are like business consultants. Poor work costs them nothing. In fact, it earns them more since they are retained for longer. This is a world where the lawyer needs to actually have an incentive to solve your problem as quickly as possible, and that is extremely rare. Having skin in the game could be one way.

Unfortunately, I just converted it to a frontend-only app to eliminate hosting costs, so I have no good location to keep tracking these stats.

Theoretically, "Oxford English Dictionary estimates that there are around 171,476 words currently in use in the English language", the log2() of which is around 17.38 - I have no historical data for 'volatile'

So, we currently have o4-mini and o4-mini-high, which represent medium and high usage of “thinking” or use of reasoning tokens.

This announcement adds o3-pro, which pairs with o3 in the same way the o4 models go together.

It should be called o3-high, but to align with the $200 pro membership it’s called pro instead.

That said o3 is already an incredibly powerful model. I prefer it over the new Anthropic 4 models and Gemini 2.5. It’s raw power seems similar to those others, but it’s so good at inline tool use it usually comes out ahead overall.

Any non-trivial code generation/editing should be using an advanced reasoning model, or else you’re losing time fixing more glitches or missing out on better quality solutions.

Of course the caveat is cost, but there’s value on the frontier.

Has anyone actually read Infinite Jest in its entirety? I got about 50 pages in and I'm pretty sure I got the jist of it from that. The constant slog into minutia and clunky grammar made it very slow reading for me. There were some funny parts but overall the effort didn't feel worth it.

I tore through Gravity's Rainbow (mentioned in another thread).

Sure, it's a matter of degree, but I think recent events have shown that the actual guardrails we have are significantly less than what we thought we had.

It's like, if you built a bridge to carry 10,000 tons because you need it to carry 10,000 tons, and then it turns out it's starting to fall apart under 5,000 tons, it doesn't make sense to me to say that you should just fix it so it securely holds 5,000 tons, or if it breaks just restore it to hold 5,000 tons. You need to rebuild it so it can do what you need it to do.

Sure. No medical intervention is risk free. Not even the over-the-counter stuff. Tylenol will happily kill you.

For every vaccine, we balance the rare side effects against the disease it's mitigating. I assure you there were more than six cases of severe clots from COVID.

It gave me two answers (one was Borland sidekick) which I then asked "are you sure about that?" waffled and said actually neither of those it's IBM Handshaker to which I said "I don't think so, I think it's another productivity program" and it replied on further review it's not IBM Handshaker, there are no productivity programs that include Connect Four. No wonder CTO like this shit so much, it's the perfect bootlick.

This was exactly my experience as well. It’s kind of funny now with the internet having endless information on illusions to think folks were so miffed by his show. But also — and this might just be my personal bias as someone who always loved the showmanship and execution — it baffles me that anyone would skip seeing a magic show because they saw an explanation (not even nearly THE explanation) of how it’s done. Like I assume most people besides the Falun Gong don’t think David Copperfield is a legitimate wizard.

Because the prevailing narrative (by which I assume you mean "vaccines work and RFK Jr. is a crackpot") is completely obviously true to everyone with a shred of education on the subject, and disagreeing with it is dangerous and stupid? Sometimes true things are just true.

There's also a prevailing narrative that "we should not wantonly kill and eat other humans on the street", and disagreeing with that would get flagged too. Censorship!!

Lol downvoted because you're right.

An "expat" is just a white economic migrant.

They'll try to spin it. They'll whip out irrelevant definitions. They'll invent arbitrary distinctions.

They are wrong.

"Economic migrant" has always, does now, and will always include "seek higher standard of living" in its context and definition and "well I just, you know, kinda vibe with the culture" and/or "I like, you know, just consider myself a global citizen and want to see the world" is "seek higher standard of living".

Debatable but regardless you could reformulate the question however you want and still won't get anything other than hallucinations fwiw since there's no references to this on the internet. You need to load up autosketch 2.0 in a dos emulator and see it for yourself.

Amusingly i get an authoritative but incorrect "It's autocad!" if i narrow down the question to program commonly used by engineers that had connect four built in.

Yeah and let's take away the income from the PMs and Engineers and leave the people who actually call the shots unharmed.

Once I worked at a place that actually made a calculation of how much an outage costed to the company and gave it to the engineers who resolved the issue to "think" about how bad they were.

What you propose is equally confused and wrong

The upthread post claimed the Biden administration was "requiring mRNA shots for healthy children".

That is a black-and-white falsehood. (Twice over in a short phrase.)

If someone wants to argue the administration heavily promoted vaccination, I'm entirely prepared to agree. The same is true for the current President, at least for a while, until the booing at rallies made him shut up about it.

I expect they don't go out of business: at worst they don't start their next training run quite as aggressively and instead let their new very good model be profitable for a minute

Many many companies are currently thrilled to pay the current model prices for no performance improvement for 2-3 years

I'm really hoping GPT5 is a larger jump in metrics than the last several releases we've seen like Claude3.5 - Claude4 or o3-mini-high to o3-pro. Although I will preface that with the fact I've been building agents for about a year now and despite the benchmarks only showing slight improvement, I have seen that each new generation feels actively better at exactly the same tasks I gave the previous generation.

It would be interesting if there was a model that was specifically trained on task-oriented data. It's my understanding they're trained on all data available, but I wonder if it can be fine-tuned or given some kind of reinforcement learning on breaking down general tasks to specific implementations. Essentially an agent-specific model.

It has been long time now since heroku is down, I do not think they take seriously , the status update is too mediocre, o interest in keep informed to the users and provide an ETA, the whole support team seems is in India, who always gave me bad answers on my tickets. Heroku down for more than 14 hours is something to consider heroku as not serious platform or some platform for a production env. stay away of heroku.
by boole1854 | 2025-06-10 21:10:28+00:00
No, this doesn't seem to be correct, although confusion regarding model names is understandable.

o4-mini-high is the label on chatgpt.com for what in the API is called o4-mini with reasoning={"effort": "high"}. Whereas o4-mini on chatgpt.com is the same thing as reasoning={"effort": "medium"} in the API.

o3 can also be run via the API with reasoning={"effort": "high"}.

o3-pro is different than o3 with high reasoning. It has a separate endpoint, and it runs for much longer.

In a similar boat with C++, but even the complexity of fundamental "simple C++" issues and lack of syntax sugar made me gravitate away from C++ to better-C style languages ultimately landing on Zig.

Using another language has only made me feel C++'s shortcomings more strongly than before.

Stroustrup even gave a talk about what a new C++ next language would look like and lands on many things better C languages already have implemented.

Sadly it's doubtful for gamedev to move away from C++ anytime soon. I am enjoying Vulkan+SDL in Zig on a personal project and can only hope that space of the language's community continues to grow.

The connection seemed clear to me: Google supports ICE activities, so Waymo is symbolic of that. But...

> Waymo’s cars are equipped with cameras that provide a 360-degree view of their surroundings, a tool that has been tapped by law enforcement, according to reports.

I hadn't thought of that. That makes sense as well. I know that I really hate being anywhere near Tesla vehicles because of that sort of thing.

I'm not actually bypassing the captcha with reverse engineering or anything like that, much less integrating with external services. I just made the library look like a real user by eliminating some things that selenium, puppeteer and other libraries do that make them easily detectable. You can still do different types of blocking, such as blocking based on IP address, rate limiting, or even using a captcha that requires a challenge, such as recaptchav2

> If it were called std::has_copy_constructor, there would be no need to write even the title of this article

Ah, but then someone might ask "Why does the library report that my type has no copy constructor, when it is in fact copyable?" And then the blog post would have to be about how it's possible for a type to be copy-constructed using a constructor (or constructor template) that is not itself a copy constructor.

Of course, the existing state of C++ doesn't prevent us from having to write that blog post, either!
