Installing an AI gaming package offers relief while custom cursors suffer a separate reset
Hey, guys. Which field should I go into: programming or 3D? I have experience in both (500 hours in Blender and I know Python syntax; I’ve read one book on Python by Eric Metis, the course I attached is similar to what was in the book). I’m deciding which university to attend in a year and, accordingly, what to dedicate my life to going forward. These are the only fields besides sports where I’d be genuinely interested in working. Many people say these two fields are at risk of becoming obsolete due to AI, and it certainly seems that way. What do you think—should I go study in another…

Hello HN! Code just became cheaper with AI but review and verification is as hard as it was. Tests are great, but current AI slop needs much more exhaustive testing.

I do maintain big OSS projects and and try to contribute as well. However contribution experience can very bad, if you follow the path of picking the most famous objects. Good luck contributing to Node, Rust, Shadcn and etc - they do not need your contribution, their PR queue is overloaded and they can't handle it. Plus you need to get to their internal circles first, though quite complex process. The world is much bigger. There are so many help required from the smaller but still active projects.

Comcast acknowledges that the system has some limitations. Home size, layout, building materials, and the placement of the router and connected devices can all affect its ability to detect motion. Comcast says it does not guarantee its performance...
