Unintelligent people can also be right, or lucky, etc, and someone judging on those criteria can end up getting swept up in making some very bad decisions based on dubious advice.

This likely takes 500mb+ RAM, TFA probably didn't account for tauri://localhost in their calculation, which by itself takes 200mb+ RAM. Then your app process will take 100mb+ RAM, and there will be a couple of other processes

This wasn't even just greenfield work, it included the exact type of work where AI arguably excels: extracting working code from an extant codebase (SQLite) as a reusable library. (It also included the type of work AI is really bad a

Going 100x faster is the problem. As they say, “slow is smooth, and smooth is fast,” when going for product market fit this is very important (and understated, in my opinion). It doesn’t help that your thread is spinning out at a hundred ya

Neither. "Leaving YC" or "being removed from Y combinator" really just means you (more precisely, your YC/HN account) loses access to internal resources like bookface. This does have the knock on effect of essential

Mike Tyson once said "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth". I think you are underestimating the underhanded tactics and emotional tools available to scammers to keep you on the line.

I thought the author was talking about market positioning [0] E.g. Apple calling Vision Pro a spatial computing headset rather than VR. That didn't quite mesh with the hedging/motte-and-bailey reference. So I suppose they are real

The author has gone so far as to link to Motte-and-Bailey fallacy (doctrine?) [0], but after reading it I see no relation to "It's not X, it's Y"? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motte-and-bailey_f

Just found this project and checked it out. Had a bit of trouble getting started, but seemed interesting once I had it working — I could annotate entities and analyses. Doesn't seem like you can currently generate articles or edit them

Jeff Bezos famously said “your margin is my opportunity,” I feel like Steve Jobs could’ve just as easily said “your slop is my opportunity.” (And he sort of did with “insanely great”)

Could you elaborate on what makes Clickup "trash software", is it something specific to Clickup or your opinion around this entire "class" of all-in-one workspace?

I want to know why this [0] needed to be co-authored by Claude. Especially because it seems like the kind of change you'd explicitly want to make without Claude's "help" (presuming that's how that got in there). [0]

TFA has curator quotes, the users are largely the curators of HN, so it should work! I can't imagine the mods ever saying anything like that. Maybe someone like pg would.

Based on TFA, nothing. Since no has quoted anything as such. So, allow me. This [0] is the Mona Lisa of Hacker News. (Most favorited post circa 2020, though now that would likely be something else.) [0] https://jgthms.com/we

I agree with the conclusion but not with the premise. The conclusion is, "I don't have to be an early adopter," but the premise seems to be "there is zero utility in getting in on anything early."

That's cute, but pure fantasy, imo. There's no non-trivial code that's actually used and maintained that's going to be immune to obvious deficiencies that get overlooked. Look at this [0], for example. Simple as can be,
