• An infinite canvas for code exploration

• Show HN: Prompt-Tower – Simplify writing prompts with multiple code blocks

  Prompt-tower simplifies and speeds-up how prompts with multiple code blocks are written. It's often a pain jumping between files, classes, functions, etc and copying/pasting everything, wrapping and annotating the blocks, and finally sending the prompt off for generation. After seeing filekitty [1], I felt inspired to build my version of the idea... Which is a vscode extension that fits better in a developer's... - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• AI programming tools should be added to the Joel Test

  One of the first things we did when GPT-4 became available was talk to our Azure rep and get access to the OpenAI models that they'd partnered with Microsoft to host in Azure. Now, we have our own private, not-datamined (so they claim, contractually) API endpoint and we use an OpenAI integration in VS Code[1] to connect to, allowing anyone in the company to use it to help them code. I also spun up an internal chat... - Source: Hacker News / 17 days ago

• Surprised to see that the standard CO2 level on the space station is 4000 ppm

  Related reading "I’m living in a carbon bubble. Literally."[0] which has a lot of great basic charts and graphs on everyday data related to CO2. Information in this reading that is relevant to 4000 PPM on the Space Station * Typical CO2 concentrations can reach 4000 ppm in a car * "On the International Space Station, the odds of a crew member reporting a headache double for every 1300 ppm increase in CO2... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 hours ago

• The search for easier safe systems programming

  > "Systems programming" is hard, and should be hard, for reasons unrelated to the programming language used. The question is: is it harder than it needs to be due to accidental complexity[1] in programming language design. TFA argues that there is still some accidental complexity in the design of Rust that leaves room for an "easier" language that still allows the level of control needed for a systems language.... - Source: Hacker News / about 15 hours ago

• TikTok Sues U.S. Government over Law Forcing Sale or Ban

  It’s easy to dream up scenarios from something as simple as the way that China treats GPS: in addition to the regular block-google-maps-from-showing-military-bases they also use an entirely different system whose purpose is only to occlude real locations (https://medium.com/@anastasia.bizyayeva/every-map-of-china-is-wrong-bc2bce145db2) TikTok harvests the very thing china occludes. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Bitcoin's Future Depends on a Handful of Mysterious Coders

  Exactly, and they think they are helping to protect the network, but alas: https://medium.com/@olivierjanss/why-non-mining-full-nodes-are-a-terrible-idea-ad3c49f7a7b6. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• An infinite canvas for code exploration

  Great idea, and I was excited to try it (and even pay for it!) until the requirement to sign up and the hijacked back button. Also, in my Firefox, your white box as a background appears transparent and so your text is just on top of a _very_ noisy background. On the missing Terms of Service, you have the Data Use notice, but it essentially describes how you're using our email, not any code that we would need to... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago
