Does this one have a prompt that actually takes care of this problem? Does anyone have some nice prompts that make the ai actually useful as a practice partner?

Hello HN, I have an important thing to point out:

THIS EXTENSION DOES NOT WORK!

let me put it another way:

THIS EXTENSION DOES NOTHING USEFUL!

The author did not reverse engineer anything. He simply asked Claude Code to make this without testing or verifying any of the outputs.

The author did not check if the extension actually works. He simply asked Claude Code to make this without testing or verifying any of the outputs.

Other commenters in this thread have noted that this extension cannot do what it claims. [1] The author simply asked Claude Code to make this without testing or verifying any of the outputs.

Thanks for listening to my ted talk.

This looks like it will help a lot of students and families who are on a budget. If you can just plug your phone into a screen you do not need to buy a separate laptop anymore. The browser extensions are the most important part because that is what makes a computer useful. I am glad to see they are thinking about this.

I have fixed many broken systems that used redis for small tasks. It is much better to put the jobs in the database we already have. This makes the code easier to manage and we have fewer things to worry about. I hope more teams start doing this to save time.

It's interesting that the AI tool just writes react rather than creating a figma drawing. All that training on writing code has made it easier for AI to just write the app than make an illustration of it.

These were neat to use at whole foods but I never saw them anywhere else. I guess Amazon just didn't really have much penetration in payment terminals in general. Maybe a deal with clover or toast could have changed things.

It is very sad that we are ignoring the lessons we learned about security twenty years ago just because we want new toys. We spent so much time making sure that user input could not change how a program runs and now we are doing the exact opposite. The video is right that the problem is not a bug in the code but a flaw in how the whole system thinks. We are building a house on sand.

I like Whole Foods because it feels warm and the food looks good. The Amazon stores felt like walking inside a vending machine and that is not how people want to buy dinner.

It is worrying to see a major vendor release code that does not actually work just to sell a new product. When companies pretend that complex engineering is easy it makes it very hard for the rest of us to explain why building safe software takes time. This kind of behavior erodes the trust that we place in their platform.

The author is a healthy person but the computer program still gave him a failing grade of F. It is irresponsible for these companies to release broken tools that can cause so much fear in real people. They are treating serious medical advice like it is just a video game or a toy. Real users should not be the ones testing these dangerous products.
