It has nothing new but they did a good job at cherry picking what what nice in other languages.

Which makes it an interesting language to learn actually. I even feel like Rust can even be a superb first language to learn for a new programmer : that’s a journey for sure but it would expose you to most of the modern programming concepts.

Games are actually pretty well optimized nowadays. I mostly "game" on a 10 years old computer with a mid-range GPU I bought maybe 3 or 4 years ago and on a Steam Deck.

I sometimes have to disable graphical options but it's more the exception than the rule. On a lot of games, I can even play in 4K.

Of course as you can imagine, I don't game at 245 fps :D

HN is not an american only audience. I, as an european, am interested by this news.

And hey, about hearing the same things again and again, we also are tired hearing about Trump & Epstein & whatever is the today american shit. But it's still important to stay up to date.

What tremendously helps is asking the LLM to add a lot a lot explanations by adding comments to each and every line or function.

You can remove those comments afterwards if you feel they are too much but it helps a lot the reviewing.

More a trick than a silver bullet but it's nice.

> What tremendously helps is asking the LLM to add a lot a lot explanations by adding comments to each and every line or function.

No, it doesn't. It's completely useless and unhelpful. These machine-generated comments are only realizations of the context that already outputted crap. Dumping volumes of this output adds more work to reviewers to parse through to figure out the mess presented by vibecoders who didn't even bothered to check what they are generating.

You don't get me. I don't say that those are good comments, I even say that you should probably delete them afterwards.

But as you say, they are realization of the context of the LLM. Their role is not helping you to understand what the code is doing, but how the LLM understood the problem and how it tried to solve it. Now you can compare its own understanding with yours.

Now I need to add context myself : I'm not talking about vibe coding entire apps, here adding verbosity wouldnt help a lot. My main usage of LLMs is at $JOB where I need to execute "short" tasks into codebases I barely know most of the times, that's where I use this trick. It also have the side benefit to help me understand the codebase better.

I do believe (believe, not know) that consciousness is something bigger than we know, I can even believe in panpsychism sometimes but I don't think any religion have any real clue about the nature of consciousness.

I came to write exactly this comment.

The thing runs instantly. And that's in a VM in Javascript.

Maybe if we had smartphones that emitted greenhouse and toxic gases by using a mini ICE engine that were so cheap nobody would buy anything else, we would subsidize the electric ones. We may even ban the gas phones.

I don't get what's new ?

It's a known fact that exercise and good lifestyle are good for the mental health. But isn't the inability to maintain a good lifestyle one of the first symptoms of depression ?

Exactly. Depression is defined in part as being the inability to effectively do those things.

Why is this downvoted? It's literally two of the questions on the PHQ9, which is used to, you know, diagnose/measure depression.

Maybe some of y'all should stick to the javascript threads and stop pretending to be experts in healthcare. Listen more, speak less, kids.

Many people unfortunately think that depression is like somatic diseases such as influenza, where we deduce the presence of a pathogen, a root cause, based on presented symptoms. But for depression (and many other mental health issues) we don't currently know any root cause(s) – all we can do is give names to sets of often-comorbid symptoms.

You have to work on your will to live incrementally.

IIRC, we do have evidence that myopia started to decline (in the population) in Singapore as soon as the city applied strict rules for enforcing outside activities for the children basically every day.

I remember that the effect in the tendency was more or less immediate.

There is also no reason our eyes can’t see in the dark because cats can and no reason to not to lay eggs because that’s more practical and way less dangerous (and probably painful) than giving birth directly. Also too bad that we haven’t multiple hearts for redundancy.

Ok.

So what does that means ?

Means there's room for improvement.
