It's funny how this works. When Apple came out with the iPad Reddit absolutely hated it. No one would want it. It's a crappy product. Who even needs 4 iPhones glued together and so on and so forth. This all reads like that. It&#x2

Extraordinary post. To be honest, didn’t even strike me to use TPU for shear resistance. But of course. Good rookie tip among much in there. Fantastic work.

Seemed fine to me. It’s ask user question not the permission gate. Maybe there should be a new feature enabling warning or something but I think this is the right default. The models are good enough to just proceed with an option of their o

Pretty neat that the gallery of videos plays from where the previous one was paused. Nice UX.

Neat. I will implement something like this for myself. I just need to reduce the spam a little. Imperfection is okay for a social network context like HN.

It’s simply not a priority. The labs can do many things. Making text non-LLM is not really that useful. Analogous to Facebook not picking up the obvious $20 bill in front of them. It’s because they’ve got $100 bills at their feet they’re pi

It’s untrue. Unstated assumptions are the quality of housing desired and location desired. In practice, because of the rent/price ratio being low here in SF most people will be taking a downgrade when going from rent to 1.25x that as m

I'm glad you enjoyed it. We ended up not using the glasses very much eventually but I'm glad we got some happy moments.

That's a valid point. I think that kids should be able to live with experimentation possible without consequences. In practice, most teens have smartphones now and are indiscriminate in recording them. If anything changes here it will

I wonder if these things will meet the same fate as bluetooth headsets. Once upon a time decried as the preserve of "Bluetooth Douches" who worse the Jabra while taking their banking phone calls, now they're everywhere. Every

The timeline just seems like two different brands wanted the name. atSign was using atProtocol as their thing. And trademarks are defend-or-lose. That AT Proto would grow so much more than atSign is just a thing we know now. They were both

That's exactly how I feel, but perhaps as others point out, I have simply tinted my glasses rose.

Haha, Hominids ! That was definitely one where I was left thinking "Oh that's it?" haha. Fair point fair point. I do think Harry Potter is like the Murderbot series. And to be clear, I really enjoyed Harry Potter when I was

Hmm, the inner voice didn't feel particularly novel and had a young-adult feel to me, but ah well. Quibbling now. Apparently just a matter of taste.

I haven't yet read the last few ones because I found the Aztec ones underwhelming. The Calculating Stars to A Desolation Called Peace was when I started feeling they were not so strong and decided I'd go read prior years inste

It's adaptive and can handle config drift if someone has altered the machine in the meantime between script invocations. Not required if you're disciplined, of course.

I originally wrote specific terraform providers (even one for just configuring an Ubuntu machine), but over time I found that TF is a bit too heavyweight for my use-cases. The shell script works well because state divergence can be investig

Haha, very interesting. I hadn't thought about the mechanics of it all but from the title I suspected it might be something like this. There's no objective measure after all of what a good book is. It's not bad for the proces

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is a measure of the concentration of a market based on the market-share of the firms participating in it. Very much like the Simpson's index that tells you the probability of two organisms in a place bein

I only have the agent investigate directly. To actually configure the Mikrotik, I have the agent write a script that is aimed to be idempotent and then run the script. Investigation is fine, but the script acts as a memory of intent which I

What did you find wasn't working well? Perhaps I have insufficient content for it to start failing. Works quite well in Claude Code / Codex / Custom Harness with DSV4F.

It’s $230 vs. $699? That’s almost exactly a third, not half.

Yes. To do the latter things as a substitute would require appropriation of other people's money to spend on highly captured industries. I'd rather that not happen.

by arjie 4mo ago
Yeah but taxing 50% of all earnings below $100k could also do that. What money can be spent on is fine but I think we’ve got a good system where people can have reward for economic output and they can use that to allocate money where they w

Huge fan of HTMX. Agent can reason about components well. Iteration is good and testing story is solid. Very happy with results. I use Rust/Go (prefer Go - safer package ecosystem - no build time code running) with HTMX.
