New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What's your iPhone Duo experience so far?

Ask HN: What's your iPhone Duo experience so far? 2 by dgellow | 0 comments on Hacker News. I assume some of you bought it on release. What are your thoughts so far? Would you recommend it to casual users? Did you return it, and if yes why? Just interested to learn a bit how people who aren’t pro-reviewers feel about it now that it has been out a few days. Also, what’s the most interesting, creative use of the foldable form factor you’ve seen?

Ask HN: Should I be polite to my agent or should I treat it like shit? 2 by d--b | 6 comments on Hacker News. Hi, As I am coding day in day out using Opus, I was wondering if people here had a view on the effect of input style on the quality of the agent's production? Like if I treat the agent like shit, with a great deal of pressure and shaming, does it perform differently than if I treat him with the utmost deference and calm? And if so, which should I be using? I am usually talking nice to my agent, because I am worried that if I trash talk it all day long, it's going to become a habit and I am going to start trash talk other people. But sometimes the agents do a lot of irritating skin, and being a total asshole to a robot seems to calm my nerves the same way swearing aloud do. Does it make any difference at all?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: I Need Advice

Ask HN: I Need Advice 4 by TuxedoBuddy | 7 comments on Hacker News. Hello HN. I was laid off six months ago from my longest tenured job. Since then, I have been rotting. And I mean really rotting. I have been staying up late, sleeping in, skipping chores, neglecting my relationships, eating too much food, neglecting hygiene, and generally just being a bum. I have a nest egg that I had saved up for this exact situation, but it appears that it has just made me even lazier. I have not been applying to many jobs, maybe one per week. My main reason has been that I am afraid of interviewing and that my skills are not up to par. I don't know what to do anymore. I need to kick myself into gear, but I am finding it incredibly difficult. I'm not looking for pity, just some assistance from the brain trust here at HN. Thank you for reading.

Everytime it starts to glitch when opening pages, I restart it, and voila, there is a new tab with "whats new". Amazing really! I don't even want to know the reasons...
