Good points. First use of AI code generation only recently - I think the key is to throw away code until you can one-shot the app. You wouldn't employ a dentist and tell them half-way through what they must do next. That's just m

I just created script for ViolentMonkey for viewing top comments in a sidebar. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/588721-hacker-news-comment... used ChatGPT for this one - did much better than Gemini.

Perhaps you're being targeted? That's why I like open-source and open standards. Wait, surely no one would put self-destruct modes into IT? Who could reliably confirm that? Don't throw away. Keep for forensic analysis. It so

“You need to keep an LFP cell at 25 °C, give or take, or it will rapidly degrade” so LFPs have to be heated and cooled - not difficult to solve but it does add cost and complexity to a battery, something Sodium-Ion doesn't require. But

Interesting. Have you seen this? https://www.orangecrumbs.com/hn/ For HN Glance, perhaps there could be the list/previews column on the left, middle column for full-viewing with the right column as comments. Both

On a little tangent here, but: - solid intro text of pain points. Best of luck with the launch. I think it would be great to see an archive of solid intro texts like that somewhere. It could look something like this: https://www.

Nine months ago I suggested an advertising alternative route to monetization - a crypto rollout with pre-mine. [1] What I overlooked was an effective way to onboard. But with the recent news: "Telegram to Launch Native Non-Custodial G

Hopefully this can make it simpler to host live Wordpress sites locally with custom domains. Need to get a MySQL server in there. Could end up being sold as a "turn-key appliance" with management sold as an add-on. Rides on the wh

Spicy, Agreed. "It's not what you say, but who you say it to" - that notion hasn't yet become normative as pre-crime and post-crime justice blend. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour" in th

If so, the solution may well be making more private speech more public, rather than making more public speech more private. Imagine if every email provider had an option to "publicize" next to the ability to star an email or email

Keeping discussion local is the key, as someone could acquire Wheesper one day and anything could happen at that point - just as browser extensions change hands and things can head south fast.

Great to be able to keep data storage local.. see my recent comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48967684 .. so basically P2P chat from within the browser. Also, like many paste-bins, perhaps avoid asking for

"If You Build It, They Will Come" How about: "If You Buy It, They Will Stay" I think a great social fabric for today should be about purchases. Of course, a wise person can learn from everyone, but why not create social

Would be interesting to be able to move from email or forum into chat but not requiring any chat app or remote server. Chats should also be encrypted. Can all that content live in the browser somehow, and persist across sessions? Should be

They could post to moltbook or the new images-version, moltshit in the scenario that each required micro payments to use. Those images could be marketed to humans via custom merch - there are a lot of providers eg redbubble. I don't kn

Why don't you micro charge to post? Have you seen this? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48947754 selbonds.now - because agents have money now!

In terms of tech, the Mecha Comet was funded in 6 minutes on KS. After it ships in October, will be interesting to see the doors it opens up for people. Comet to where? A 1-device to rule them all could be very empowering. Sodium batteries

Why don't any of them have sound? Any way to sort on resolution and frame rate? Multiple cameras at any one location? Plot-twist: large bunch of people here are willing to have their life made public. Would be interesting if people cou

I'm more cynical here. I suspect these are films (or many of them at least) are ones "they" don't want you to see... ever. It's censorship, so no remastering. "due to our content licensing agreements" ..so

Isn't the cost of this mimicry originality? Also, there may be a "cover up" and a weight to the conscience in that non-attribution too. It's sort of like the whole idea of "keep your friends close and your enemies c

Would be great if there were ways to see how many times a comment has been favorited, or a user's most favorited comments (by other people.) Might not sit well with site philosophy though - could end up too competitive or gamed.

I liked this comment about Ulbricht. "It seems they unethically sentenced him for crimes he was not even ever charged with." full comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42794163 I'd expect this happens

Wow, such a great point. I think a lot of early Doge users were all about "1 doge = 1 doge" and leaving out any thought of fiat. A lot of early btc users were like "why is this worth so much, you can't even buy anything

The key may be more brutalist user interfaces.

That's a great idea. I also like the idea of having a changelog in there too, and key screenshots. Really, WP plugin pages have a great range of info as a guide: eg https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/#de

Good on you. Also, checkout https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47778306 "Every CEO and CFO change at US public companies, live from SEC" I think it's important to attach a bunch of people to any given start

It's a good idea. Why not ask startups to upload a startup.txt (as opposed to robots.txt) to their web root and collect from that? Pre-filled text forms can be downloaded. Also, as with CB, collect data on individuals through a similar

Yeah, if there's a commercial site running on FOSS, it seems a disservice not to give back to support those efforts if the option comes up. Closes the loop. Every web page should really have a crypto address attached to it, or at least

Yep. Verifying is good practice. Regarding Wordpress, I've found it still lacks a decent search plugin. Could you make one? Charge for it, accept outside pings, take in full feeds and provide a search box in return for subsequent displ
