Everything is nuanced and generalizations help no one. There are absolutely frontend apps where AI straight up crushes. Sure these much be less novel apps but most of what people work on is a CRUD-esque interface.

I'm wondering what would be a specific example that AI would fail to create front-end wise, since I've been having quite good experiences with it.

The author of the post is known for some pretty fancy CSS wizardry. I’m guessing AI is not great on some very specific, advanced CSS use cases where there isn’t much prior work. But again this is an edge case compared to what the vast majority of us are doing

But even then, what is a fancy CSS wizardry that AI couldn't do for instance, but would be trivial for the author?

Or is it that AI is not as creative?


I want to know how he’s identifying and monetizing businesses

How do they differentiate AI job loss from normal layoffs that companies are pretending are due to AI to get brownie points from shareholders?

why the same way we measure productivity gains from ai: mostly vibes (aka self-reporting)

Not sure, but Im assuming it's based on self reporting or when companies like Oracle say "we are doing layoffs to manage AI costs"...

Is this market research?

Not even, it’s the classic LLM SaaS spam that is swamping Reddit. The goal of the spam is to get a bunch of people on a credible website talking about a problem and then the OP will return to post a link to their product. Suddenly, all the powerful HN link juice flows from HN to their product. Every single entrepreneurial subreddit is covered in this garbage, so much so, there’s definitely some sort of e-book or course teaching people to do it.

Perhaps @dang can save us from this.


Such links should all be nofollow. Is there some other way to dejuice them?

Feels like AI generated market research. There must be a single company/person putting out these posts because I see a ton of posts like this following a similar structure

I agree with this. I don’t even this Sean says anything controversial in the article so I’m not sure what the negativity is about.

Curious how do you know this?


I remember reading somewhere else that there was a psychological benefit for kids as well. Not having the constant pressure to check the device. Just seems like a big win all around.


In our district phones are banned during the day. Most students don't care about their phones, what they care about is FOMO. And so the ban does great to not only reduce distractions but also the cognitive load of constantly wondering what they're missing.


I surprisingly found this with my Apple Watch. was so concerned it would make me even more plugged in. But in reality now 90% of the time I get a junk email I just say “huh” instead of needing to open the phone to see what it is (and the other 15 notifications). Can’t have fomo if you know you’re not missing out, amirite?


That's still quite insane. I get a lot of email daily but notifications onto about priority / important ones.

Which is about 1-2 per _week_.


Bypassing logging feels relatively unimportant compared to some of the recent EntraID vulns we’ve seen


It takes a village of exploits to raise a successful and undetected attack.


Microsoft standpoint is probably: If it's undetected was there really an attack?


I dunno. It seems kinda bad that core auth log - which should be a primary source of truth during, say, a security audit - seems to work on a best-effort basis?


Having struggled with hard to diagnose health issues before, I can’t emphasize enough how much of a relief it is to put a name on the disease that is causing you so much harm.

It is frankly shocking to think disease diagnosis would be a useless thing


All the disclosure and legal issues aside, it’s sobering to think of how many of these types of trivial bugs exist on random websites that collect sensitive user information. It seems hopeless to try to safeguard one’s own information.


Which is why collecting and storing sensitive user information needs to be more heavily restricted and treated as the unsafe activity that it is.
