People have been sharing AI-Generated garbage nonstop. They're not even trying. Writing a single prompt to claude, publishing the site, and then spamming it everywhere in the hopes they make a dime.

I'm glad HN is doing something about this.

I got another one from a different username right after posting this. And yes, lots of them. I wish I wasn't at work so I could check out what's on that link, lol.

If anyone is going to examine it, please post what you find.

My wife came here on a K1 visa from one of the countries on that list. We have an appointment for interview next month (which determines whether or not she can remain in the country).

It's always worrying seeing news like this.

I was wondering the same thing.

That's why I stopped going to HackerOne. My first 3 reports were marked as duplicate. The last report on there was an auth bypass, essentially. They replied: "But you need to show what can be done beyond this". Like, wat? You want me to do some real damage before accepting it (hackerone managed)?

Those were my only reports on the platform before I gave up. Then I went to BugCrowd, submitted a report and it was accepted.

"having a say on something", in OP's context, means authority and influence over decisions... People can say whatever they want, yes, but not everyone can "have a say on something".

You're right. What's done is done, and there's no going back now.

This absolutely hurts my soul.

Pre-covid, I religiously saved silver (and gold). Just bought some every single paycheck for like 6 years. I had coins, jewelry, bars, silverware, etc.

I wished my parents had left me a treasure, but they didn't, so I thought I'd do that for my kids, maybe even leave them a map... But I don't have kids, so after being locked in my house during covid, I kind of went a bit crazy.

I sold it all and moved states (after travelling quite a bit). My collection was quite massive, and I 100% knew that this day would come, but I didn't care, I just needed a new view. I live near the beach now, but... if I just held, I'd be in a much better place. I hate myself a bit for selling.

Eh, I've shared your views before. But Amazon affiliate link payouts are trash. The OP made it to the front page of HN, but I'd be surprised if he makes more than $100. It's possible, but probably highly unlikely. Let him them make some money, it's a cool project.

But, OP, if you're going to have this, disclaimers, and a privacy policy are really important (especially for collecting emails).

Yes, the frontend looked AI generated. I see that you redesigned some of it, though. It looks much better. I didn't mean to insult you with my comment. I shouldn't have said that; I apologize.

I didn't "bash" any project. I just said it looked AI-generated, because it looks exactly like a bolt.new or lovable template.

That headshot project looks completely AI generated. The landing page is a full-fledged AI template.

>It was terrifying.

I feel this. I'd get butterflies knowing I had to call him or hearing the phone ring. I don't know how people like this remain employed for so long.

>I would usually stay up 24 hours

This is wild. Hopefully you never have to deal with someone like that again. Likewise, I would just leave if it ever got to the point of interfering with my mental health again.

I've experienced this too. Luckily, I switched roles, so I don't have to engage with him so much anymore, but I still get his aggressive attitude every once in awhile.

He's made woman employees cry. He's randomly shouted at others for thinking they were being "smart". He's also made me and another coworker contemplate quitting on multiple occasions. Dude has two moods: 1. Unreasonably happy. 2. Explosive anger.

When I had to work with him full-time, my mental health was getting absolutely destroyed. Imagine a whole 8 hours of someone indirectly/directly calling you stupid, shouting profanity, and just being super passive aggressive. Oh, and not forgetting the threats of being fired. He made it seem like the CTO was discussing it, but I think it was him trying to get me fired.

I felt like shouting at him the most hurtful words I could think of and quitting every single day.

I've just been working on side projects hoping one of them eventually replaces my salary (trying to find a different job in this economy is really unlikely). I don't want to work with people like this.

For the longest time, I wanted to really dive deep into lower-level learning (e.g. C, Assembly, HDL, chips). LLMs temporarily killed my motivation to continue learning C. I wanted to build a clipboard history similar to windows 11, but for a Linux-based OS. Prompted ChatGPT for the code, and it spit some out. It was pretty bad, nowhere near a finished project. I deleted the LLM code and started anew.

I remembered why I wanted to learn this stuff. It's not for money, or to look cool.

It's for the fascination I have for computing.

How do electrons flow through a wire? How do the chips within a computer direct that flow to produce an image on a screen? These questions are mind-blowing for me. I don't think LLMs can kill this fascination. Although, for web programming, sure. I always hated front-end programming, and now I don't really have to do it (I don't have the same fascination for the why of such tech). So will I ever learn a new front-end framework? Most likely not.

The company I've been at for awhile only uses .NET Framework. For all current projects, and anything new. It's frustrating, especially when I first joined. Could barely find documentation or tutorials regarding this tech stack.

The lead indeed rewrote the codebase to .NET Core, but had trouble publishing changes to the server (his current method of updating views, for example, is to copy some files from his local version and overwrite the files on the server). I guess he couldn't do this with .NET Code, so he just reverted back to .NET Framework. To me, it seemed... odd. Surely there's a way to publish changes in easy manner?

It's called "Discrete Mathematics and its Applications" by Kenneth H. Rosen. A google search reveals a PDF as the first result.

I'd recommend going on Thriftbooks and ordering a textbook. I can't remember the exact copy I had years ago when I was self-learning CS, but it was like $4.00 for a really incredible textbook.

Now, I don't have a degree, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but the book was really really good, and honestly, if you've been programming for awhile, I think most of the concepts didn't require a heavy math background (of course, it would probably help). The chapters were like: Symbolic Logic, Set Theory, Proofs, Algorithms, Cryptography, and other things which I can't remember.

Edit: The book is free to read online

EDIT EDIT: Removed link as I don't know if that was a "legal" link.

It's out of stock on Thriftbooks, but looks to go for $6-8 on there.
