I understand, but my point is that your landing page should focus on just that, value for money. All the other stuff is nice, but it’s not going to sell. It might actually be detrimental.

I just wanna say how ironic it is that this website has an ugly banner covering half of my screen (mobile).

This was a very interesting read. From childhood we instinctively draw lines, but I never questioned how we produce them from real objects, and why they work so well at representing real objects. It’s one of those things we just take for gr

While I see the appeal of putting everything on the server (from a DX perspective), but it just seems so wasteful.

I don’t know why people are saying FB (the product) is dead. People still use it. Yeah my feed is mostly crap, but I still see friends posting and sharing stuff. Groups especially are very popular. Whereas on Instagram they just post a stor

There have been people claiming that they were fully conscious while under anesthesia and felt everything, but were unable to do anything about it. I never really believed this. One of the most terrifying things I’ve heard (from a final yea

These businesses earn billions from customers that are gladly paying for their services, because they get value out of it. You call the business "illegitimate", but there are literally millions of paying customers that disagree wi

>I'd be happy to pay 250€ a year for an OS that I actually own and control. That's cool. And do you think many people will also happily pay 250€ every year? Do you think enough people care so make this a profitable business? An

This is cool but why does the output even show the code? Most people asking to reverse the word “lollipop” have no idea what Python is.

That’s true. Perhaps using the LLM approach you could extract a deterministic selector, and notify the users if it changes in some meaningful way.

You’re not only sacrificing simplicity for determinism but also stability. What good is being deterministic when the underlying web page keeps changing all the time, breaking your selectors? This seems like a more stable approach.

I think the most important piece here is standardizing a schema format for command line programs. Once you have that (and it’s actually adopted) there are many possibilities. TUI/GUI is just one of them. Think autocomplete, type checki

Every time I dip a little into healthcare tech I want to throw up. It's so bizarre, and even offensive, how convoluted and outdated these systems are. It's patches on top of patches on top of patches for decades. To the brave engi

As always, the people calling for regulations are the big guys trying to stop the little guys by creating a legal moat. Always the same old story.

I wonder if this can be solved by adding a disconnected, 2nd layer which can answer meta-questions about the bot’s answers, such as “does this answer follow the rules?”, and this can be used to tweak the answers. Perhaps it can also be used

Yet you have undeniable proof that your own consciousness is as real as it gets, and that you experience life in a way that isn’t just an abstract concept. It’s absolutely there (at least, from your own point of view). I’m not a religious

Bingo. Google wasn’t able to layoff anyone in France. What a great win, right? Well. Once they decide they need to close off a site, where do you think France will be on that list? Or if things are going good and they want to hire an additi

The number of people in this thread living in the West and saying "let's blindly copy an authoritarian policy made by an authoritarian regime", without considering any 2nd or 3rd order effects this might have, is alarming.
