Ask HN: How to deal with shipping AI-written code you don't understand? 3 by rzk | 9 comments on Hacker News. I saw this LinkedIn post from a Meta engineer and it resonated with me: https://ift.tt/LQdziJw > I'm an engineer at Meta and I never felt this uncomfortable doing my job. I'm writing code these days and it all feels like a black box. This new standard of shipping with AI is moving so fast that if we're going to spend our time checking each line of code, it's going to take forever. That means you can end up with systems you've built where you don't truly understand how all the code works. You understand the high level, but not every detail. And maybe this is becoming the new standard. It goes against every instinct of being a software engineer. I'm used to understanding what I'm building. Now I'm trying to figure out how much I need to understand before I'm comfortable moving forward. Are other engineers feeling this too? How are...

Ask HN: What Got You into Rust? 2 by cloaky233 | 3 comments on Hacker News. Back in 2024 I was experimenting with prosthetic arms and trying to figure out how to build one with an EMG sensor. The problem I kept running into was that the EMG sensor kept crashing the Arduino IDE. It spat out data at an extremely high rate, and my RAM couldn't keep up with it, being on a potato laptop. That's when I thought, "Okay, maybe let's try Rust. What's the worst that can happen?" This is the first thing I ever built in Rust: https://ift.tt/Eft3sZg I used a sliding window: keep deleting the oldest values and keep pushing the newer ones onto the graph. It looked a bit like a snake chasing its tail, but it's what actually worked for us later at the Smart India Hackathon 2024 Hardware finals (we didn't win). Sharing something from back when trying something new and building something new felt exciting. Maybe we'll never get to build things quite the same way ag...

Google Meet Enshittification 3 by chrisjj | 0 comments on Hacker News. Google Meet Android app meeting join now claims to need Notification Permissions for incoming and outgoing calls.
