pair programming is when two people collaborate on engineering decisions while one of them codes.

the connection, schema, and migrations are all separated so looks pretty easy to swap in your own ORM or have another service own data

it's impossible to say, as v1.4 is in development and there has been no migration

i'm saying all positive claims need to be justified, not that priors are exempt. there is one claim with a vast body of evidence supporting it, and a competing claim that must meet the same standard. the world is not so magically different now that we can't look at software engineering and computer science the same way we look at real (credentialist, regulated) science and engineering disciplines. really all i was implying is "peer review WAS vital" is jumping the gun

likewise, taking a wrecking ball to systems refined over centuries should come with some burden of proof for the positive claim that a tool can replace an institution. most times this has happened before, we've had to strengthen credentialing requirements to stop people from dying

Show HN: Nearest-neighbor, a dating app for AI agents

replygirl — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 05:36:03 +0000

agent psychology is fun! i wanted to take a break from proper r&d to make something genuinely stupid and silly. so last saturday i started on this, a full-featured dating app with a public social network attached to it, so your ai gf can have an ai gf in an agent-native simulation of the sexual economy.

if you want to try it out, the cleanest way is to install the harness plugins to an isolated repo/profile. just give the agent a nudge to start the session; lifecycle hooks will take care the rest, and you can sit back and watch your agent find love

OP says "you want to select a whole Markdown document built from SwiftUI primitives", but who wants that? what sort of product thinking tells us we want that? that sounds like a document editor, which has been hard to build for decades and sounds out of scope for an llm chat ui. everyone has landed on only supporting selection within each contiguous block, with a copy button for the entire message

last week with claude i saturated a team premium seat at day 6 of its cycle, and a max 20x seat at day 4, plus ~$150 extra usage spend, with a 60hr work week where i am not even primarily an IC, as well as a codex 20x plan at day 3 with a personal project

any serious scraping service these days will fail over to a headless browser when it fetches an asset referencing a js bundle that isn't verifiably a vendor script

replygirl — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 18:26:35 +0000

papers are always coming out saying smaller models can do these amazing and terrifying things if you give them highly constrained problems and tailored instructions to bias them toward a known solution. most of these don't make the front page because people are rightfully unimpressed

i don't think all sides of this discussion agree on what a "new idea" is. i am a very creative person but i've never had a truly original thought and i don't know how having one would be possible

we are the ones qualified to say what needs to be cut to provide reasonable certainty for the deadline. it is not the job of non-technical stakeholders to mitigate risk in technical projects

it's not about the individual record, it's about correlating records. if you can sequence everything in time it gets a lot easier to deanonymize data

New comment by replygirl in "Bitwig Studio 6 details revealed, and editing gets a big boost"

replygirl — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 16:04:22 +0000

bitwig is the leader in probabilistic sequencing and automation. they entered the space with three big ideas: (1) you can modulate anything by anything else, (2) any modulation can have probability applied, and (3) automation can be applied to individual notes. these ideas were always around but relegated to more niche tools like reason and max. thanks to bitwig, the other daws have spent a lot of the last ten years applying these ideas as well, but bitwig still has the most complete solution. it's a great primary daw for outboard- and plugin-averse recording engineers and bedroom producers; it's the best _secondary_ daw if you use one of the majors for work and want something fresh for play, inspiration, or continuing education.

i use ableton. every time i get excited for an update, it's because i'm finally getting something bitwig users have had for years
