If you have your PayPal creds in your repository, you are doing it wrong.

.gitignore is a thing

Which every AI tool I’m aware of respects and ignores by default.

Why is it that they can add new env variables then?

It is trivial to append to files without reading them. Also, no AI provider even wants your secrets, they are a liability. Do whatever you want though, I'm not here to convince you of anything.

This is probably different between startups and enterprises. My background is purely startups, and I can't imagine not having access to 100% of the code for the company I work.

From the linked press release (https://www.sgpc.gov.sg/detail?url=/media_releases/astar/pre...)

> Among children whose parents read to them frequently at age three, the link between infant screen time and altered brain development was significantly weakened.

It sounds a bit like the problem might not be so much "heavy screen time" as "heavy screen time, plus no alternative stimulation". Not defending heavy screen time at all, just thought it was an interesting tidbit.

Knowing little about the research, my prior would be that screen time is bad for kids and is also a proxy measure for the attentiveness of parents

I would tend to agree with that. I can even see in my own kids changes in behavior when external factors affect my own ability to be attentive to my kids.

Could also be that reading helps with parent bind somehow

I could see some sort of real world grounding helping reduce anxiety

I've used one for years now. No issues. Not sure what you're worried about.

Many ways. Using a "bastion host" is one option, with something like wireguard or tinc. Tailscale and similar services are another option. Tor is yet another option.

The bastion host is a server, though, and would be exposed to the internet.

It can run a firewall and forward to internal traffic as well.

This will almost certainly be used by people to sanity check their HN submissions before actually submitting, very similar to having AI review your branch before submitting a PR.

Here is what it has to say about itself: https://news.ysimulator.run/item/113

bahah

Or like Nathan Fielder's The Rehearsal show on HBO Max. Also, the show's subreddit has a companion subreddit for posting to before you post to the real one.

A friend of mine was speculating about the same thing. I'm totally happy with it just existing as a toy, but if it serves some useful purpose, even better!

I love that this very point is in fact one that it generated against itself!

Spooky…

Really spooky, all comments are LLM based and something certainly feels off, but can't quite put my finger on what it is.

I think it has to do with comments that doesnt really comment on the previous comment.

Certainly one of the more interesting uses of LLMs in a while.

Not to be confused with the other grid based light flipping game, Lights Out, from 1995.

Or 80s Merlin’s Magic square game.

Which was only 3x3. But red LEDs which were all the rage in handhelds in the 80s.

When learning JavaScript I made a dupe of the Merlin game in JavaScript. It’s really old but still seems to run. Lacks the depth of this game with its larger grid.

Amazing. I had one of these, and playing your version just took me back to the frustration I had figuring out that game when I was 7 years old.

I use skhd with yabai and custom layers on my keyboard for mouseless window management. It’s worked great until a recent update, I’ll try this out and see if it fixes things. Thanks!

The description from GP, and the photos in the article you linked, seem like polar opposites of each other.
