I don't blame them for it, but I find it amusing how they present this as some wonderful new technology as opposed to simply that they're playing catch up with the other cloud providers offerings
You have got more patience than me. I have tried to use these tools to generate (basic) network diagrams and by the time I reached your third step I already knew that it was time to quit and draw it out myself. Diagrams need to be correct and accurate otherwise they're just art. I also need any amendments to be made to the same diagram, not to have it regenerated each time.
I do like the idea of another commenter here who takes a photo of their whiteboard and instructs the AI tool to turn it into a structured diagram. That seems to be well within reach of these tools.
Couldn't disagree more. Notepad is a place to dump snippets of unformatted text, for a temporary duration unless I explicity save the file. I already didn't like that they added the tabs feature and autosave recently.
If I want to do writing I'll use one of the 6 tools on my PC more suited to that task.
What is the appropriate number of times to "just move on and ignore" before finally deciding to say something because the integrity of hn as a platform is at risk?
Strongly disagree. This platform for tech news should not become a place for political posts, nor even for posting regular news headlines. Yes we know that reddit sucks but stop trying to make hn into reddit.
Also the community can't handle it, just look at the handful of comments we already have here.
Instead of beep I can take a screenshot, use the built in annotation tools easily accessible in my screenshot software to add highlights and notes, paste the screenshot into the chat window that I already have open to the relevant individual or team.
Same also. I was fascinated with the idea that someone was trying to fine-tune some RF parameters using AI and accidentally undid some safety mechanism
