- petesoper 3mo agoA new high water mark for R T F A.
- jxf 3mo agoCan't use the Twitter links if you don't have a Twitter account. Also, why make the user click away when they're trying to understand if your product does something interesting, and why do they need an account on an unrelated service when an image/gif embed would get the message across in 5 seconds?
- anigbrowl 3mo agoThere are many workarounds like xcancel and nitter.net and xcancel.com that have been operating for a couple of years now. This is Hacker News, not Consumer Reports.
- chongli 3mo agoBy that point I've lost interest in the project. Not a very good elevator pitch if you're losing people before they even see what it looks like.
- lrvick 3mo agoTwitter videos are hard to watch when you do not have an twitter account.
- NDlurker 3mo agoI use this website whenever I get sent a Twitter video link that won't load twittervideodownloader.com
- sillysaurusx 3mo agoClickable https://twittervideodownloader.com https://twittervideodownloader.com Works well. Bookmarking this.
- stronglikedan 3mo agomust be your browser or something, or maybe regional. they play right away for me on Windows Chrome as a rando
- someguyiguess 3mo agoNope. Thats just you. The rest of us have lots of issues.
- amarant 3mo agoNope! Works on for me as well! Chrome on android... I think you guys are just being salty because it's X
- frollogaston 3mo agoDoesn't work for me, Chrome on Mac. Used a private window to test not being logged in. Got nothing against Twitter, but if I didn't already have an account, definitely wouldn't bother making one just to watch a video.
- int32_64 3mo agoI remember for roughly a month after Elon bought twitter he opened the site up again and public viewers could browse it. Now you can't even click play on a video lol.
- ekianjo 3mo agoYou can still open a single post just fine
- sillysaurusx 3mo agoCan anyone verify that you can/can’t see a video if you’re not logged in?
- jetrink 3mo agoI can see the video and view the first three seconds or so, but after that, it throws up a login prompt.
- fragmede 3mo agoAn incognito window let me watch the whole 25 seconds with the user writing something and three book writing back, but I don't know if my IP or incognito cookies or anything else are special.
- sillysaurusx 3mo agoIt would be ironic if you have to actually sign out from Twitter, not just use incognito mode, to bypass the signup nag. Or if they mark IPs as “signed up” or something. Thanks.
- sillysaurusx 3mo agoThank you. As someone who tweets, this is helpful to know.

- keithnz 3mo agothanks! Now having seen the video, certainly not as cool as it sounds.
- irjustin 3mo agoWhat did you expect? For me the video is basically what I expected. Maybe a cool/spookier "full page" reveal but that doesn't really work with the token speed well.
- msftgreed 3mo agoI expected, from the description, it to look like text was being written by hand -- with the letterforms being stroked at roughly human pen speeds. Not just a fancy font over a text box being entered character by character. The description WAY oversells it.
- toraway 3mo agoFor me, once a couple words loaded the cadence/pace of the streaming words in the response was so recognizably “ChatGPT” it immediately lost the sorta eerie mysterious feel and almost veered into parody/comedy. Like imagining the wizarding world full of Hogwarts students writing out prompts for “Write a 500 word history of the polyjuice potion, sound natural using my own voice, do not use em dashes, no mistakes.”
- sebastiennight 3mo ago> do not use em dashes I've never seen this work. With Claude at least (even Opus), you'll get "Sure – no em-dashes in the text." or "P.S. – one last thing..." and then if asked to review, it will show in its thinking trace "the command said no em dashes. But this is in a P.S., so that's normal use – keep."
- teaearlgraycold 3mo agoI kindly request people do not link to Twitter. I don’t have an account and won’t make one to see a video clip.
- shajsiisiss 3mo agoAmericans: redirecting to some random quasi-nazi billionaire’s private project is considered bad taste on the other side of the pond. It’s like redirecting to Putin’s personal blog or something. It’s strange and not normal at all.

- dvngnt_ 3mo agoAfter clicking play, there's a prompt to log in. I had to use a video downloader service to watch it
- chickensong 3mo agoYou can just replace x.com with nitter.net, though their bandwidth sucks for media playback.
- rerdavies 3mo agoHarry Potter would have posted the original video to YouTube instead. It seems like a tragic irony, and perhaps a sign of danger, that OP posted the demo video to the website of He Who Should Not Be Named. Why? Why?!
- sillysaurusx 3mo agoBecause Twitter posts consisting of YouTube links die quickly. It’s very obvious once you have a few thousand followers. Your option is basically either upload to twitter, or put the YouTube link at the end just before a screenshot. Or both a video and a YouTube link, I suppose. If you trigger their YouTube embed, it seems like it gets penalized quite harshly. I’ve seen other people agree with the sentiment.
- rerdavies 3mo agoTwitter posts never die if you never post to Twitter in the first place.

- saghm 3mo agoIs Baby Gronk the new Drip King or was he just getting rizzed up by Livvy?
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 3mo agoThat is the weirdest thing I've ever read
- saghm 3mo agoI reacted similarly when first hearing it
- xdennis 3mo ago> Otherwise, the title reads like a "Curtains for Zoosha?" meme. This is also why capitalization is important. In the title, "remarkable" refers to "Remarkable Paper Pro", a tablet. Not knowing that "Fable turned remarkable into Tom Riddle's diary" is very hard to parse.
- themadturk 3mo agoA Remarkable tablet was the first thing I thought of, but it was still so unclear I had to click through to actually understand (more or less) what was going on.
