Reads like a sloppily disguised influencer blog post really. The feature has just been released and the author already knows they are going to be a "bigger deal than the MCP"? Although he proceeds to discredit the MCP as too complex to be able to take off towards the end of the article. Not very useful examples either, which author publishes with a bit of distancing, disclaimer almost - who the hell has time to create lousy slack gifs? And if you do, you'll probably not want the lousy ones. So yeah, let's not immediately declare this as "great", lets see how it fares in general and revisit in a few months.

Wow that's really devious. My first question was beyond the outrage, was the video good? It did really look like Chuck was sneering at the people and the cut was so quick I didn't know the difference. I looked more closely, and when the video on Twitter was not fullscreen, the video controls blocked the part that said "AI Generated". I had to really look closely to notice that.
Answering questions in Claude Code is now much simpler

I noticed just now that questions are displayed in a form of pick-list - you are presented with options each with separate answer to the question and additional one to type yours as well. It uses keyboard arrows and feels very neat. It does not seem to be mentioned in the release notes but my current version of CC 2.0.21 is not there yet too.

I noticed that CPU usage on my Mac (M4max with plenty of RAM...) jumps to over 100% though when CC waits for the answer in this new form and after answering it goes down back to normal.

Don't conflate mobile free to play games (i.e. gambling simulators with a thin veneer) with actual games. I wouldn't be surprised if there were fewer actual games playable on Android than the full catalog for Sony PSP. Mobile free to play games are exclusively a way to prey on people's addictions in the hopes of finding enough "whales".
Show HN: OneClickPRD – Save hours vibe coding with concise PRDs
by AzamatKh | 2025-10-17 21:25:26+00:00
Hi HN,

I built OneClickPRD because as a solo builder I often wasted hours vibe coding without clear goals. I’d start with an idea, but it was vague, so the code got messy and I had to redo things.

OneClickPRD asks you a few questions about your product and then generates a short, structured PRD. The format works well with AI tools like Replit, Lovable, or v0, so you can go from idea to working MVP much faster.

Demo: https://oneclickprd.com/

Would love your feedback: does this feel useful for your projects, and what would make it better?

Saying hooks is "seven years old" is just being pedantic. I worked on a major project in 2019 where making the decision to use hooks was a huge leap of faith. It did not become the default way of writing React code until 2020/2021, so five years is more than accurate enough.

- Dan Abramov's first big conference talk was in October 2018

- The official release was in React 16.8, February 2019 - that's six years ago

This vaguely reminds me of when I briefly worked at an oil company as a drafter. All their P&ID's are drawn in AutoCAD .dwg files, which isn't searchable at all or intelligible to the computer. AutoCAD sucks and has a stranglehold on these older "systems" drawings (as opposed to individual mechanical parts). Also, each company has its own different drawing spec and you need to have a lot of domain knowledge to understand a drawing. I had this grand idea that I didn't follow through with of JSON-defined "drawings" that could then be rendered to svg. Maybe a graph data structure would be better to represent the data. This would make them searchable, and LLM-ready so you could ask natural language questions of an entire refinery or pipeline or water treatment plant or chemical plant.

Not quite the same as its not real-time SCADA, but still interesting. It seems like there is big opportunity here for someone who can crack it.

I have. It robustly has the folk-psychological meaning I mentioned in my first sentence. Call it ‘philosophical’ instead of ‘folk-psychological’ if you like. It’s a useful concept. But the concept doesn’t require AI engineers to do anything. It certainly doesn’t give any hints about AI engineers what they should actually do.

“Make it understand.”

“How? What does that look like?”

“… But it needs to understand…”

“It answers your questions.”

“But it doesn’t understand.”

“Ok. Get back to me when that entails anything.”

13 minutes in Andrej is talking about how the models don't even really need the knowledge, it would be better to have just a core that has the algorithms it's learned, a "cognitive core." That sounds awesome, and would shrink the size of the models for sure. You don't need the entire knowledge of the internet compressed down and stashed in vram somewhere. Lots of implications.

Free speech doesn't include the freedom to use speech to do illegal harms (that are themselves, not speech).

In other words, "Speech + Offense" is prosecutable, for illegal "Offense".

You don't get a hall pass to use speech to commit a crime, and not be culpable for the crime.

Fraud, libel, harassment, giving false testimony in court, colluding with competitors to artificially increase prices, broadcasting a copyright work, signing your name (just your name!) to an illegal contract, etc. all may involve speech, but the offense is defined by the non-speech functional impact.

Convincing someone to kill someone for you is not legal, because murder is not legal.

People generally have to prove that the speech was intentionally or recklessly geared to cause harm to others.

Although many cases may be clear, there isn't a mathematical separation between the two, so we have courts and precedence, and further reviews, as the practical means of drawing the line.

And that is true for the vast majority of laws and rights.

Objection: The Chernobyl containment building generally speaking does its job. /pol/, on the other hand, leaks like an incontinent old man in a retirement home. "Containment" only works if you have jannies that actually sweep it up. 4chan, much like Voat, suffers a problem of people spamming up boards and threads with unrelated crap that is ostensibly supposed to be kept to other boards/threads (like /pol/). The reputation they have is a consequence of that unmanageability (just like Voat ultimately suffered from when they embraced Reddit's cast-offs and suddenly had people talking about "shitskins" and "day of the rope" everywhere).

> It's just that this... legal authority... isn't quite enforceable outside the UK jurisdiction.

That appears to be the widely held understanding in this particular case.

I'm not so sure. This isn't a strictly black letter law matter. It probably should be, and I'd prefer that it was, but I see political angles to this.

Right now, it is improbable that Trump's DOJ has any interest in doing Ofcom's bidding in the US for UK "online safety" violations, real or imagined. But a world where the US DOJ might does exist. We're the political vectors aligned differently; say, for example, Ofcom was pursuing 4chan for "supporting" ISIS in the UK, I think few people would be surprised learn that Trump's DOJ was eager to "investigate," and perhaps synthesize some indictable offenses, and perhaps even extradite.

Have we not seen, and are we not seeing now, ample examples of similar abuses of power?

So I see much of the rhetoric, and also this lawyer's flippancy, as naïve. Given the optimal set of office holders and sufficient moral panic over some matter, Ofcom et al. could very well have real leverage in the US.

I wish the world could stop giving claims like this, in general, any attention.

We do not know how "far away" we are from "AGI" period. It's also useless. If you're correct...so what? Someone may have been able to perfectly predict the advent of railway travel. Guess what, this gave them 0 advantage unless they already had tons of capital to invest, which is effectively what makes the realization of the predicted thing come to fruition in the first place. Bets like these are at best self-fulfilling prophecies if you are a billionaire and at worst ideal chatter that makes us all stupider the more time we waste on them and the more we let wildly unchecked claims like this dictate behaviors in the present that actually affect us.

That’s what I always thought, not having the proper infrastructure is a greater problem because not every apartment has private garage with electricity. In the hyper center of big towns they will never dig the streets to install chargers for every few parking spots and superchargers are rare for the amount of cars there is compared to 3min for gas with ubiquitous infrastructure. Where I live there is often parkings with 50+ cars and no or 2 chargers

hm, if i understand you correctly (non-native speaker here) you are advocating for plant based diet - and if thats the case, I don't agree with you. It might be possible to live on plant based diet in Mediterranean, but here up north where i reside (and even further in Arctic) it is, I think, next to impossible to survive only on plants - human body, afaik, cannot get everything that is needed in this environment, purely from plants. Taking maybe a very graphic example to get the point across - Eskimos did not learn to hunt whales (which was and is for them very dangerous) for fun but to survive - to counter the cold you need to consume more calories than you can get from (with reasonable amounts of) plants. (of course in arctic, theres whole another issue of growing anything ). Ofc one might say that in today's world everything can be flown in, supplements can be taken - but what's the cost ? to the body, to the environment where the plants/supplements are manufactured...?

There are a bunch of California-only compliance cars that were essentially given away that would depress the values in the sector. I considered picking up a used Fiat 500e, but even though it was electric, FCA still managed to mess it up and a common recommendation was to keep a few specific tools in the back that enabled quickly disconnecting and reconnecting the battery.

10 years is when you really should do a heavy refresh in the engine bay. Stem the tide of oil leaks, replace perished rubber hoses, tuneup (plugs & leads) because lets be honest you never replaced those unless one was obviously broken, fix exhaust leaks, pray cat is not dead and you didnt luck out on a model with factory defects like for example Ford EcoBoost wet belt disintegrating into rubber debris in oil pickup ($10K job). Tons of brands went for lower tension piston rings in the name of ecology and gas mileage, GM EcoTec, Stellantis Tigershark, even Toyotas end up burning oil like crazy and need full engine rebuilds/new engines. Obligatory they stopped making them like they used to :) 10 years is a very dangerous age for a used car right now.

ICE cars are practically falling apart between service windows when compared to EV.

I'm not sure. There's a view that, as I understand it, suggests that language is intelligence. That language is a requirement for understanding.

An example might be kind of the contrary—that you might not be able to hold an idea in your head until it has been named. For myself, until I heard the word gestalt (maybe a fitting example?) I am not sure I could have understood the concept. But when it is described it starts to coalesce—and then when named, it became real. (If that makes sense.)

FWIW, Zeitgeist is another one of those concepts/words for me. I guess I have to thank the German language.

Perhaps it is why other animals on this planet seem to us lacking intelligence. Perhaps it is their lack of complex language holding their minds back.

Everyone is obvious hyperbole because I didn’t want to both copying and pasting the actual quote.

That is merely a compiled list of people who disagree with him without listing any of his supporters.

There are at least 5 philosophers who support his position if you follow those links and 5 who reject it.

Link 7 doesn’t support the statement “consensus among experts in these fields” because it only refers to a single field—philosophy.

Many of those sources are just links to lists that other people have compiled of arguments for and against Lucas’ argument. They aren’t even all critiques. And many of the ones that are, are already linked directly in the article.

There’s is nothing more to support the notion that there is widespread consensus against his argument.

There may be. But this isn’t good evidence of it.

If this is a concern, pass your UUIDv7 ID through an ECB block cipher with a 0 IV. 128 bit UUID, 128 bit AES block. Easy, near zero overhead way to scramble and unscramble IDs as they go in/out of your application.

There is no need to put the privacy preserving ID in a database index when you can calculate the mapping on the fly

Lame journalism. If they're struggling with spelling of basic surnames like Paczyński, Brzęczyszczykiewicz or Gżegżółka then what will they do if they come across harder ones like Stółzpowyłamywanyminogami or Chrząszczbrzmiwtrzciniewszczebrzeszynie.

You know that this is literally not a concern right? It is part of business life to navigate such a situation.

When I was a SWE, I've done migrations between bare metal to AWS to GCP and then both, and then all plus Azure..

It is the cost of doing business. You pick what works best at a price that is optimized for your business needs now. You have a war chest so when they start becoming assholes, you have leverage to fight back or pivot.

I'd rather spend $200-400/mo to unblock myself NOW than do something dumb with 5 or even 100 tokens per second output that isn't actually that good as what the current providers offer. I'm going through millions of tokens a day.. I couldn't do that with local "RIGHT NOW" (<--- important)

> I'm not sure this or the rest of the comment is relevant for what I was getting at. I was wondering whether the Ada 83 rationale contained discussion about design elements specifically for validation. Not just things that are usable for validation such as strong types; I'm looking for decisions specifically made with formal validation in mind.

Quotes to look at from my previous comment:

> Origin and requirements driving Ada: describes the DoD process (HOLWG / Steelman) that produced a set of requirements targeted at embedded, safety-critical systems and explains why a new language (Ada) was commissioned. It shows Ada was created to serve DoD embedded-system needs.[2]

> Standardization process and the language rationale across revisions (shows continuity of safety/verification goals)[3].

> Guide for the Use of the Ada Programming Language in High-Integrity / Safety-Critical Systems (technical guidance / conformance): this guide and related validation/ACATS materials describe expectations for Ada compilers and use in safety-critical systems and explain the certification-oriented aspects of Ada toolchains. It is useful to show the ecosystem and qualification emphasis, as per your request.

> When it comes to antiterrorism stuff, it's a totally different story. If I go to the Middle East and provide money to an organization on the US terrorist list, then yes - I can definitely be prosecuted for it if I enter US jurisdiction. And it goes even further - I don't need to enter their jurisdiction. The US can just have me extradited if there is a treaty.

Moreover, the US government can have you seized and brought to the US without a treaty (or even in violation of a treaty), which may become a diplomatic and/or international legal issue between the US and the state where you were seized, and may subject the agents doung the seizing to personal legal difficulty in that state, but has no bearing on the validity of the criminal process brought against you once they haul you back to the US. See, e.g., U.S. v. Alvarez-Machain, 504 U.S. 655 (1992).

I hear you on the despair and hope you can find a way to work through it.

When I felt it more (heh it's definitely not gone) it was out of a feeling of not being able to contribute, or not being able to understand things to the degree that I felt was meaningful and moral. There's so much to do to understand what's going on around us and the lack of available resources is... not great. But so much of it is just a matter of starting to look into something and see where it goes. For me, it was researching parking tickets and towing that got me started after my car was illegally towed. For you, maybe a pot hole destroyed one of your tire and nobody in your area's looked into why pot holes aren't being fixed.

Feel free to email me if you ever want to chat about this more, or if you'd like to brainstorm ways to figure things out. My email isn't hard to find.

Everyone else in this thread is talking about (React/Angular/Vue/JQuery/etc) v.s. (Plain JS/Direct DOM manipulation/etc). Running that code on top of Electron or not is entirely orthogonal. So I admit I'm confused why you're fixated on bringing Electron into the conversation. Op's question appears to me like it references the last part of the linked thread: "I’d like to know what JavaScript framework (e.g. Vue, React) Obsidian desktop application is using for creating the user interface?"

Since we seem to be talking past each other, what do you think the conversation is about?

> If 'understand' is a meaningless term to someone who's spent 30 years in AI research, I understand why LLMs are being sold and hyped in the way they are.

I don't have quite as much time as robotresearcher, but I've heard their sentiment frequently.

I've been to conferences, talked with people at the top of the field (I'm "junior", but published and have a PhD) where when asking deeper questions I'll get a frequent response "I just care if it works." As if that also wasn't the motivation for my questions too.

But I'll also tell you that there are plenty of us who don't ascribe to those beliefs. There's a wide breadth of opinions, even if one set is large and loud. (We are getting louder though) I do think we can get to AGI and I do think we can figure out what words like "understand" truly mean (with both accuracy and precision, the latter being what's more lacking). But it is also hard to navigate because we're discouraged from this work and little funding flows our way (I hope as we get louder we'll be able to explore more, but I fear we may switch from one railroad to the next). The weirdest part to me has been that it seems that even in the research space, talking to peers, that discussing flaws or limits is treated as dismissal. I thought our whole job was to find the limits, explore them, and find ways to resolve them.

The way I see it now is that the field uses the duck test. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. The problem is people are replacing "probably" with "is". The duck test is great, and right now we don't have anything much better. But the part that is insane is to call it perfect. Certainly as someone who isn't an ornithologist, I'm not going to be able to tell a sophisticated artificial duck from a real one. But it's ability to fool me doesn't make it real. And that's exactly why it would be foolish to s/probably/is.

So while I think you're understanding correctly, I just want to caution throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The majority of us dissenting from the hype train and "scale is all you need" don't believe humans are magic and operating outside the laws of physics. Unless this is a false assumption, artificial life is certainly possible. The question is just about when and how. I think we still have a ways to go. I think we should be exploring a wide breadth of ideas. I just don't think we should put all our eggs in one basket, especially if there's clear holes in it.

[Side note]: An interesting relationship I've noticed is that the hype train people tend to have a full CS pedigree while dissenters have mixed (and typically start in something like math or physics and make their way to CS). It's a weak correlation, but I've found it interesting.

Using UUIDv4 as primary key has unexpected downsides because data locality matters in surprising places [1].

A UUIDv7 primary key seems to reduce / eliminate those problems.

If there is also an indexed UUIDv4 column for external id, I suspect it would not be used as often as the primary key index so would not cancel out the performance improvements of UUIDv7.

Very interesting conversation I'm still listening too. One bit I disagreed with is that I still think that an LLM's context is more like a person's sensory memory[1] than their working memory. The way that data falls off the end of the buffer regardless of how much attention it provokes is entirely unlike our own working memory. On the other hand a reasoning model's scratchpad seems to fit the analogy much better.

> The Famicom didn't have any kind of protection scheme, so unlicensed and bootleg games were commonplace

Unlicensed/bootleg Famicom games weren't very common in Japan due to the control Nintendo had over game distribution. In Japan, Nintendo sold all their Famicom consoles and games through a wholesaler organization called Shoshinkai. If you wanted to sell Famicom games without a license from Nintendo, you needed to deal directly with stores and/or wholesalers who both wanted to sell Famicom games and didn't sell any Nintendo products. This limited unlicensed games to being niche underground products that were mainly sold in back-alley shops and through mail order. In the US, this level of control over distribution would probably be ruled anticompetitive, so the lockout chip was a technical solution that accomplished a similar goal.

The fact is that no matter how "advanced" AI seems to get, it always falls short and does not satisfy what we think of as true AI. It's always a case of "it's going to get better", and it's been said like this for decades now. People have been predicting AGI for a lot longer than the time I predict we will not attain it.

LLMs are cool and fun and impressive (and can be dangerous), but they are not any form of AGI -- they satisfy the "artificial", and that's about it.

GPT by any definition of AGI is not AGI. You are ignoring the word "general" in AGI. GPT is extremely niche in what it does.
