While it’s true that our phones have essentially become an extension of our being today, you can still recognize when someone is being excessively protective about theirs. If your wife never leaves her phone unattended, doesn’t allow you to use it, and always places it screen-down, you can be sure it holds proof of her transgression. Her actions reflect the characteristic behavior of a cheating wife. The question now is, how to catch a cheating wife? If only you could get your hands on her phone, you’d have all the proof you need to know whether your suspicions were unfounded or spot on. To catch a cheating wife using her cell phone, be prepared to sacrifice some sleep. Once you’re sure she has dozed off, retrieve her phone and unlock it using her fingerprint on the touch id (or whatever biometric it uses). That is if you don’t know her passcode. Then, hire Tomcyberghost @g mail.com to hack the target's cell phone information without physical access

You don't need to tell the LLM to code up a TODO list app so you can sell it in the App Store.

The user doesn't even need to tell an LLM to make them a TODO list app.

Given an LLM that can persist and restore context, the user can just use the LLM as a personal assistant that keeps track of their TODO list.

Whatever the software is that we're working alongside our AI colleagues to build in ten years' time, I don't think it's going to be automated tests for apps and websites.

There's plenty of managers who prefer hacking an excel and vba than relying on developers; those will probably be more than glad of using some IA tool, to do something more advanced; of course mostly just for internal stuff, in the short term.

You'd get a repeat of Microsoft Tay, the short-lived 2016 chatbot that had to be taken down after not even a full day because 4chan managed to turn it into a full-blown hate spreader in hours [1].

Before something like this can be reasonably released to the Internet at large, we need to find out how to teach the "ingestion" part how to judge the input that it's being presented with... basically, AI school. The same way we teach our children that it's not OK to steal other people's stuff, to not be the one first throwing punches or to not discriminate against other people, or that there are reasonably trustworthy media and absolutely untrustworthy, we need to teach AIs. And we'd also need to figure out ways to teach an AI basic, hard truths: the Holocaust happened, the Earth is a globe not a pizza, the Earth is not hollow, and the moon landings were real.

At the moment, we're half-ass attempting that by annotated training data (and this is the true moat of OpenAI, not the weights or prompts!), but even as we invest literally millions of hours of training compute time, an average high schooler that has been trained for 18 years can reasonably pass the above-mentioned criteria to be a productive member of society.

Excited to see this on HN front page! Unlike others, I didn't mind the CC + 30 day trial. 30 days actually feels generously long as I don't see many other projects offering that. I think it's ultimately right move for this project to live long.

After trying it for a bit on a very very large codebase(more than the context window supported, albeit I haven't done anything superr insightful yet), the code suggestion does seem better + faster than Copilot.

However, I'm not sure if the "completion" UX is the best way to enhance human programmers with AI. And within the completion realm, leaning on the speed, ie. inferencing on every keystroke, is not that attractive for myself. What attracted me is really the context length. So I'd provide much more examples of cross context code suggestion, similar to the 3js demo from gemini 1.5.

Back to the completion UX thing. I feel like often times seeing the completion pop up is a double edged sword. The moment it pops up, it distracts me from "outputting mode" into "evaluation mode" to see if the result is correct. If it's right, then great, you've saved me time. But for the times where it's wrong(which... was quite a bit for copilot), it's actually a net negative as I now have to re-enter the "outputting mode" and force myself to ignore the new output that will get generated as the new keystroke comes out. With Supermaven, this "switch" happens 10x more than copilot because of the speed as well.

Cursor/Zed with their CMD K code insert is obviously the other "big" ai coding UX.(along with chat) Personally I like them quite a bit and wish they had the speed and context window that supermaven is currently offering. But tbh, all of the UX's feel a little off at the moment...

Just my 2c' as an amateur programmer!

Great list.

I would second validating the idea. This also ties in closely with talking to users/customers.

There is a nuance to validating that I have tripped on. You want to find a way to validate that customers will buy. That may be a difficult test to setup, but where I’ve stumbled is getting positive feedback and confusing that for validation.

A lot of times when people express interest, you may be hitting on something, however they may simply be validating the idea is interesting.

Unfortunately there is a big space between something people are intrigued by and what they will actually pay for.

Another question I wish I’d thought more about is: Can I set up something basic to get traction while I build? Whether it’s leveraging Typeform or Notion or some other tool. Is there a simple thing you can offer the customer base to serve them while you work on the first version of your product.

They can't be. If you specifically ask for a "white pope", Gemini refuses and essentially tells you that asking for a white person is offensive and racist.

The Only Productivity Framework You Need
> You can't test for "fun."

Sounds intuitive, but there are gaming researches working on that regard. Two related terms (learnt from IEEE Conference of Games) that come to mind:

1. Game refinement theory. The inventors of this theory see games as if they were evolving species, so this is to describe how game became more interesting, more challenging, more "refined". Personally I don't buy that theory because the series of papers had only a limited number of examples and it is questionable how related statistics were generated (especially the repeatedly occured baselines Go and Mahjong), but nonetheless there is theory on that.

2. Deep Player Behaviory Modeling (DPBM): This is the more interesting one. Game developers want their game to be automatically testable, but the agents are often not ready or not true enough. Says AlphaZero for Go or AlphaStar for StarCraft II, they are impressive ones but super-human, so the agnet's behavior give us little insight on how the quality of the game is and how to further improve the game. With DPBM, the signature of real human play can be captured and reproduced by agents, and thus auto-play testing is possible. Balance, fairness, engagement, etc. can then be used as the indirect keys to reassemble "fun."
> Work with honest, intelligent people

That's such good advice.

On the same note, it's so discouraging when someone who is not/neither takes over, those people leave (one way or another), and you have to start the search again.

Or when someone is intelligent enough you don't figure out they're not honest until it's too late. <shiver>

Anyone who's been around the block a time or two will accumulate those experiences. I hope I've not been jaded by mine.
