Aren't devs on Steam required to disclose use of AI? If yes, then there is a way to filter crap.

Two years ago I moved to a smallish (think 3,5k people) town (in Europe, ie you get everywhere by foot) and it has done wonders to my mental health. All the daily social micro-interactions with people who are aware of you seem truly healing.

I am convinced that if a attack is to happen, it will be right after the midterms. The US will be paralyzed by invocation of the Insurrection Act (or similar coup-y acts) so, unable to react.

There are many of us who do not live in the US, so many still can. Just not through paypal.

Nah, just pass the outputs to a person not related to Anthropic in any way.

Or -- maybe better -- just fsck the TOS.

Even if you think you cannot escape incentives - there exists a thing for shaping them - it is called "regulation". Some still consider it a dirty word though.

No need to hide "penis" behind asterisks. It is proper -- even medical -- terminology, in contast to "c*ck", "d*ng" or "schl*ng".

New comment by xyzal in "AskHN:How do you handle skill atrophy from using coding agents?"

xyzal — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 14:21:38 +0000

I am curious how the workflow of people, who do not write code at all, looks like, or what products do they build. In my experience LLMs are an excavator, but you still have to tweak the fine details with a shovel.
