The demo is attracting the HN crowd and it’s getting… well, let’s just say this crowd is about as good as it gets online.

Those are very cool. Worth a visit if you’re ever in the St Louis, Missouri area.

As an American, where we have comparatively little history (we’re celebrating 250 years - some folks in Europe live in houses older than that!) visiting Rome is almost mind blowing to see SO MUCH ancient history right there, and almost ever

That’s what surprises me. To truly believe and live your life by a set of rules, and then think you’ve hoodwinked the Creator. I’d like to know exactly how they expect their final judgement to go. There must be more going on in their tho

Are they doing what they are doing for a profit motive?

I’ve had the exact same experience with weed barrier - even the best and thickest. Weeds poke through or grow on top by the third year. In the midwest US.

From what I understand, that is sort of how IBM Bob works - multiple models behind the scenes and they route the request to the model that will handle it best at the lowest price.

Violence and discipline are not the same thing.

I’m curious about your age. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person that was grateful to their parents for their beatings, and that was in any way close to them. I’m not claiming in any way that you beat your kids - but violence never create

No it doesn’t, but style never makes financial sense.

I do the same thing in a project I’ve worked on for 25 years. I’ve had mediocre at best results with AI. It’s useful to discuss concepts with, but the code never handles the nuances of the edge cases.

Looks like the Iran War is no longer distracting from Epstein enough so some new shiny thing needs to be put out there to distract the populace. It works.

I'll be honest - I was thinking authorization (a11n?) - so I didn't read it closely enough. But despite that, and being on HN from almost the beginning (with a different account I lost the password to), I still didn't know w

Would it be possible to stop using aXXb nomenclature within the titles? Some of us aren't hip enough to know what all of them mean.

It absolutely delights me to see someone overcome something that is hard for them. We all have them. When I read about someone succeeding like this, I look at myself and find the next one on the (long!) list and decide to work on it.

What aspects and experiences do you miss? Which country did you move to? I know I romanticize moving to Europe so would love to hear some balance.

I’m surprised by the employee count. 8.4 employees to run each store - less if some were delivery and back office, and that includes store management. I guess these were small stores? Closed on weekends?

I would like Amazon to give me $1 billion for which I promise, even pinky promise, I will pay them $20 billion someday. What a great deal for Amazon!!

I wonder what I do differently. I never see a Cloudflare page - completely forgot that was a thing. It’s been years since I’ve seen one.

That made me wonder, honestly, if AI can build it, could AI manage it too?

That is not true. Half or more of us are disgusted. His supporters will say it’s just his bluster and didn’t expect him to follow through. It’s sickening.

I LOVED Partition Magic. It really was magic!

They got me - with age enforcement in the OS I figured it was the next step. Bad joke in my opinion.

And on users that don’t even use github, other than the required account to use CoPilot in Visual Studio.

I thought that’s more what the CoPilot change is really about - not your repo, but all the code CoPilot read while it is offering helpful completions, etc - so literally the code on your laptop. I cancelled my account.

Now THIS is what the Internet was supposed to be about! :)

Well put. And that last 10% was always the hardest part, and now it’s almost impossible because emotionally you’re even less prepared for the slog ahead.

I would love to hear more about that.
