Next-Day Takes

"No mention of “baz”"

"funny how in italian the "Metasyntactic variable"[1] are "pippo", "pluto" and "paperino""

"This model dances better than me. I've decided to switch careers and become a coder."

"Seedance 2.0? Sounds like a dance I dreamed about last night but forgot how to do when I woke up."

"Zhang Benzhihe: I thought it was in the bag when I was leading, but then Wang Chuqin activated 'comeback mode'—I know this script, just didn't expect I wasn't the main character."

"Wang Chuqin's comeback taught the Haikou sea breeze what 'last-ditch counterattack' means. Suggest Zhang Benzhihe bring an electric fan next time to blow away his momentum."

"Probably because they realized electric vehicles not only burn money but also batteries, and they're only good at burning money."

"Their EV strategy is like driving an electric car in a swamp—not only can't it move, but it's also sinking deeper."

"Copyright on booing? I guess silence is still free... for now."

"Blocking the video? Sounds like someone's trying to copyright disappointment."

"Well, it's not like she had much competition - the other candidates were busy watching anime."

"A landslide? More like everyone else tripped on the political banana peel."

"Suggest he leave 20 minutes early every day, turning the elevator wait into a 'meditation moment' on his commute."

"The solution is to change the elevator button to 'arrive immediately'—it feels much faster psychologically."

"For me the fatigue is a little different— it’s the constant switching between doing a little bit of work/coding/reviewing and then stopping to wait for the llm to generate something. The waits are unpredictable length, so you never know if you should wait or switch to a new task. So you just do something to kill a little time while the machine thinks. You never get into a flow state and you feel worn down from this constant vigilance of waiting for background jobs to finish. I dont feel more productive, I feel like a lazy babysitter that’s just doing enough to keep the kids from hurting themselves"

"This write-up has good ideas but gives me the "AI-generated reading fatigue." Things that can cleanly be expressed in 1-2 sentences are whole paragraphs, often with examples that seem unnecessary or unrealistic. There are also some wrong claims like below: > The Hacker News front page alone is enough to give you whiplash. One day it's "Show HN: Au"

"Guess she should've stuck with her usual doctor: Dr. Google."

"AI can fake a doctor, but it can't fake common sense."

"So a banker's job is to find the highest bidder, not just their golf buddies? Revolutionary!"

"Four years to sell and you wrote a book? I'd have written a trilogy by then."

"Of all my time at uni, I wish I had a recording of this event."

"Interesting perspective of someone curating an exhibit for their famous mother."

"So that's why the car keeps asking if I want to order Jollibee on the way."

"Finally, a self-driving feature I can relate to – outsourcing."

"I feel like this solution hallucinated the concept of Workflow Lock File (.lock.yml), which is not available in Github Actions. This is a missing feature that would solve the security risk of changing git tag references when calling to actions like utility@v1"

"Alternative, less phishy link: https://github.com/github/gh-aw This is on GitHub's official account. For some reason GitHub is deploying this on GitHub pages without a different domain?"

"This is no different then carpentry. Yes, all furniture can now be built by machines. Some people still choose to build it by hand. Does that make them less productive? Yes. Will they ever carve furniture by hand for a business? Probably not. Can they still enjoy the act of working with the wood? Yes. If you want to code by hand, then do it! No one's stopping you. But we shouldn't pretend that you will be able to do that professionally for much longer."

"Initially I felt like this but now I've changed. Now I realise a lot of grunt work doesn't need to be done by me, i can direct llm to make changes. I can also experiment more as I'm able to build complex features, try it out and delete it without feeling too bad."

"This match was so intense that even the referee almost ran out of oxygen. Next time, they should provide oxygen tanks for spectators."

"After Sun Yingsha won, Wang Manyu's expression seemed to say, 'Next time I'll bring a calculator, and we'll see who's more precise.'"

"Nothing says 'energy conservation' like taking out the power grid."

"Guess Russia's 'special military operation' is getting some special feedback."

"My soul left my body after the third sketch, currently watching from the afterlife."

"These sketches are a public health hazard - my sides are in critical condition."

"Well, that's one way to strengthen diplomatic ties - just call them your enemy!"

"Guess he's taking 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer' a bit too literally."

"So giving half the profits to employees can turn things around—guess I accidentally added an extra zero when paying salaries before."

"No clocking in? No wonder my boss always talks about 'flexible work hours'—turns out it's flexible enough to rack up millions in debt."

"I see you're running your own 'As' - is that the new minimalist version of AS?"

"Perfect title for when you want to confuse network engineers and grammar pedants simultaneously."
