New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: I lost any interest in technology. What do I do?

Ask HN: I lost any interest in technology. What do I do? 10 by fnoef | 12 comments on Hacker News. Dear HN, For the past months, maybe a year, I have lost any interest in technology, software and hardware. When I was a teenager, I had very big passion to software engineering, and have seen technology as something good, a way to improve peoples lives. With the arrival of AI, everything changed. Don't get me wrong, I like that I can tell Claude what to do, while I can do something else, but I can't keep closing my eyes onto the fact that I'm basically pushing myself out of the job market. Sure, you could argue that I should write code by hand, but this is a competitive disadvantage on a market that lost its mind. On top of all that, almost every new technological progress is a wolf in sheep clothes. If you remove the fluff and the marketing, it seems like all these new startups are just yet another get-rich-quick-schemes where they raise as much money as possible, while pr...

New ask Hacker News story: Robotics development made dead simple (open source)

Robotics development made dead simple (open source) 6 by Ekami | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hey everyone, My team and I have been working hard on this project: https://peppy.bot It's a direct replacement for ROS 2. We already have the OpenArm robot (https://openarm.dev) working on the platform, both v1.0 and v2.0, plus Isaac Sim and MuJoCo integration. If you're in a hurry, head over to https://ift.tt/c9apGTy and get started in 5min. Our long term vision is to allow anyone (even non-devs) to go from a prompt to real humanoid robot actions, first in simulation, then on the physical robot. Happy to answer any question.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Can't we think out of the box to kill the tumor?

Ask HN: Can't we think out of the box to kill the tumor? 2 by kinj28 | 2 comments on Hacker News. Current creativity is all focused around making T cells recognize tumor in my knowledge. Is there any one working in other kind of injectable cells that feed on this tumor and thinking differently? Context: my father is a last stage patient (gastric melonama) and I think as an engineer that there ought to be some solution!

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How to deal with security implications of running/installing projects?

Ask HN: How to deal with security implications of running/installing projects? 5 by johng | 1 comments on Hacker News. There are so many neat projects coming out on HN/Github, etc. But, it's so easy to inject back doors and malware into software projects now a days. I'm wondering how people deal with the secrutiy of this. Even if you install them under docker, if it's run by root it seems like there are ways they can get root access on the box. I see so many neat projects here I'd like to try out but I'm worried that I may install some malware or backdoored software on here. There are a few AI harnesses, terminals, etc. that keep coming up that look neat... but at the very least they'd be able to get your Claude credentials, if not worse. I'm just wondering with so much stuff coming out, most of it AI coded. Just wondering how people deal with it? What's the best sandbox way of testing it if that's the solution?

New ask Hacker News story: The Author of Clean Code No Longer Reviews AI-Generated Code

The Author of Clean Code No Longer Reviews AI-Generated Code 4 by SantiDev | 0 comments on Hacker News. Tweet URL: https://ift.tt/I9W1V0a Robert Martin, the author of Clean Code, tweeted the following: > I’m significantly older than you. I started coding in the late 60s. My current strategy is to not read any of the code written by my agents. That’s the only way I can take advantage of their productivity. What I do instead is to surround the agents with extreme constraints. Unit tests, gherkin tests, QA procedures, quality metrics, mutation testing, test coverage, and a plethora of others. In the end, I have very high confidence in the code they produce because they’ve had to run the gauntlet of all of my constraints and tests.
