What Hacker News says?
I've been working on a library for Node (using TypeScript) that encrypts environment variables and generates typings for accessing said environment variables. e.g. you init a project (`obelisq init`) and use `obelisq set -k <key> -v <value>` (e.g. `obelisq set -k SERVICE_KEY -v ABCDEF`) to set your environment variables: OBELISQ_PUBLIC_KEY=0344ecbf96c3e01262402247b97231a22c0197d17121dd9c7d1b999faed1d54ac4 SERVICE_KE…

I don’t use it everywhere (e.g., code comments), but I often employ it in my writing—a habit I developed after years of roleplaying in online games with native English speakers. An "advanced, trusted GPT-4, ChatGPT and AI Detector tool" flagged the text above as 100% "AI GPT". If I swap the em-dash for a hyphen, it drops to 48%.…
