Mary, after hearing the song: Yes, I did know. The angel literally told me.
We've just launched the first large, site-less (home, direct to participant) randomized trial for treatment of #LongCovid, testing tirzepatide (a GLP-1 drug) vs placebo. Please help spread the word

Paris has removed the paving from its city hall square and transformed it into an urban forest. Stunning! 🤩
This is a good visualization of when people say that AI saves them time.

Naur (1985) was right about the theory building view of programming. So, by definition, vibe coded programs are dead on arrival: no one possesses the theory of the program. The programmer needs to revive the program with each generated chunk of code or forever be codependent with the LLM.
I’m tired of people expecting me to do something just because I know how to do it and they’re paying me
great HN comment on why vibe coding is not like programming in a higher level language: “Once you learned the higher level language the machine did precisely what you specified and you did not have to inspect the assembly language to make sure it was compliant.”
may I have the honour of alt texting this one
It's like they're speedrunning all the mistakes civic tech learned over the past 25 years.
What are your thoughts on the argument that genAI code is just the new assembly language?
It’s hard to put my finger on it, but imo it’s, by definition, a false equivalence since compilation is deterministic.
Please stop sharing "acceptable ways" to use Synthetic Users as a stand in for research. There aren't any.
It's a very convincing simulation of behavior based on a large random unstructured data set containing what has been written about human behavior, not analysis of actual behavior in context.
OH: wtf is vibe coding; all I can fathom is someone on their computer, microdosing, surrounded by patchouli incense smoke, jimi hendrix velvet posters, black lights, and a bong

wavy-perforated toilet paper is literally the best invention since sliced bread, but I fear only the most anal-retentive among us appreciate this fact.
You mean the judge’s intense occult training through D&D did *not* prepare the judge to accept the invitation to enter a witches’ coven? Hmph.
Flight Attendant: “IS THERE A DOCTOR ON BOARD?!"
Me: “I have a doctorate in Philosophy."
Flight Attendant: “THE PILOT IS GOING TO DIE!"
Me [soothingly]: “We're all going to die.”
I'd like to see more writing on how the Musk/Trump junta feels like a frontal attack on the entire concept of virtue, in even the most traditional senses.
They are actively demonizing and punishing everyone who doesn't worship Mammon.
