Ask HN: Techniques for learning things quickly using coding agents? 2 by throwaw12 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Lately, I am finding myself using coding agents primarily for investigating and learning new topics, which include: * understanding how specific module works in codebase * overall architecture in the new codebase * onboarding faster in the new codebase * researching a topic * analyzing video content/meeting transcripts to quickly catchup with the topic and so on. My current workflow is just to point out to repository or folder with transcripts and ask agent to extract insights (assuming it will first analyze the content, then suggests ways and whats to extract) and reading bunch of output markdown files. But I feel like this workflow can be improved, but no idea where to start, what are the cognitive methods and strategies. How are you doing it? What strategies, skills do you employ to quickly learn new things * in this context. learning == primari...

New ask Hacker News story: Roblox parental controls are a dystopian security disaster

Roblox parental controls are a dystopian security disaster 6 by notsure357 | 3 comments on Hacker News.

Ask HN: What is one thing about AI that annoys you the most? 3 by akashwadhwani35 | 3 comments on Hacker News. Sometimes I’ll ask Claude to think through a problem with me, and instead of talking, it immediately starts editing files and writing code. Like… bro, I’m not asking you to do it yet. Let’s think first.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What are the hardest problems AWS Lambda MicroVMs can solve now?

Ask HN: What are the hardest problems AWS Lambda MicroVMs can solve now? 4 by iaziz786 | 0 comments on Hacker News. By introduction of Lambda MicroVMs, what are the most importance and challenging task we can solve with them now? I’m looking for the answers which weren’t possible before on it. My objective is to understand if this technology can solve really hard parts of a very common problem. Even if making it work on AWS would require a lot of work but it would be worth it. Hence my goal is to understand what it unlocks?
