Is it too much to ask devs to use AI to review their hand-crafted code?https://lobste.rs/s/fxccx9/is_it_too_much_ask_devs_use_ai_review_their

You believe coding by hand is the Way and I both admire and appreciate beautiful, hand-crafted code. But I want to use your library, and when I ask my AI to evaluate it for bugs, memory leaks, security issues, it returns a long list of serious ones. Even if you hate AI-generated code, you can use an AI to identify issues and you can fix them yourself. Think of it as an advanced linter or something.

Show HN: Mu, two-minute visualized lessons on modern AIhttps://mu.vizuara.ai

Hi HN, I am Sreedath Panat. A year ago, I had started a habit of making small explainer videos of 2-3 minutes to help me understand, in a nutshell, some of the difficult-to-understand research papers. I'm not saying that this gave me a deep understanding, but it definitely helped me set foot into some of the research papers (eg: I-JEPA, flamingo paper etc). Then I thought, why can't the same technique be used for getting a minimal understanding of different concepts within AI? There is a reason why I try to convert this thought into a simple product. The 2-minute micro lessons are fully built…
