He sure does seem to be overly optimistic/confident when it comes to certain goals and timelines. However, I'm not sure if I've read anything he's said(about Twitter) that seemed 100% false. Would you mind explaining to

Oh interesting! Somehow I did not see this response in the Twitter thread. That's unfortunate as it's a pretty thorough response!

Ask HN: Is Twitter really as poorly engineered as Elon say it is?

Is it still "your children" if someone else is doing all the "parenting"?

Likewise, I was surprised by the pessimism in this thread surrounding generative art. Humans are extremely visual creatures, yet creating visuals is incredibly difficult. I hope this can drastically increase the number of visual storytellin

I think "programming and tuning" will enable a deeper degree of expression, but just because people are not tuning the AI itself doesnt necessarily mean the creation with AI isn't a form of expression. Ultimately, is "th

It seems that we are already seeing that happening with people using Midjourney/Dall-E photos on their blog posts and all of them have this particular "mythical/psychedelics" vibe. In the early days of IG, all photos als

hmmmm... having Bluetooth on for both is one requirement. Not sure if there are other ones?

I find it helpful to consider the physical analogy regarding work/productivity. Just like how Walking, Running, and Sprinting are very different levels of work, coding !== coding. Some codes are like a swamp; you have to sprint throu

It always amazes me to learn these *tiny details that Apple takes care of and makes me wonder how many more are there that we do not know. (My favorite is that if you copy something on your phone, you can paste it directly on your Macbook,

I empathize with how you're feeling... There's a constant argument about which frontend framework is the best(react? vue? svelt?), which CSS solution(tailwind? bootstrap? MUI?), which DB scheme, which host, "can I just go ser

On the one hand, I'm glad to see somebody from the gaming industry attempting blockchain games. On the other hand, it's the Game of War guy. So it might just be more online casinos disguised as video games.

I think a lot of the tech founders are CS undergrads haha, so you'd probably literally see their mvp in their git repo. Jokes aside, oftentimes, the most disruptive technologies are not actually technologically difficult. If we take

When it comes to practical guides, I HIGHLY recommend the book RefactoringUI by Steve Schoger!(creator of TailwindCSS.) Unlike popular books in design that people talk about like "The Design of Everyday Things" or "Don't

We feel more awkwardness in audio calls than video calls and more awk in video calls than physical meetings because at each medium we're losing important contextual cues that act as lubricants to our conversation. A gentle "slap o

I don't think you're in the minority either. We experience joy from the joy of those around us. I think the disagreement here mostly stems from a different definition of "friend". For most ppl, the friends they see on th

Definitely recommend it, I can't think of any downsides for doing it. The time commitment is quite low, you just update your progress and if you'd like, vote for other players. Voting exposes you to what other players are doing. A

If somehow I can't work on this any more for the rest of my life, I'd probably still just keep it running. The amount of credits we have for these hosting services is enough to keep it running for a long time. Also, it's quit

I just wanna say that these are very valid points! It does make us seem less professional. And is potentially losing us some users. We kind of scrambled that page together quickly because we wanted to get launch and get users as quickly as

A very good question! I think given the amount of manpower we had, it was the best choice to make the browser version first. If we desperately want a desktop version, we can use Electron or some tools to convert the browser version into a d

Hey donpark! 1. automatically adding landmarks This is a potential solution to a problem that we think about quite often: it's easy to teach people HOW to place components, but it's hard to teach people WHERE to place components.

"Many of us, are required by employers, law, or a sense of owning the data" Ahh, interesting. I've never thought about this when it comes to web vs native. It is surely one of my blind spots. Thank you for pointing that out!

That's very interesting! You're effectively building "memory palaces" without consciously doing it by associating podcast content with real-life locations. Some memory athletes use that ability to remember digits of pi o

Great point! The idea of running out of real estate is something that we thought quite a bit about in the beginning. So, we used to have somewhat like a tag system that we thought would lower the friction required to make a note. Where you

Hey! Thanks for the encouragement! A native app is definitely on the to-do list. The reason why we chose the browser is mainly so that we can distribute it to a broader audience. Also, I use a MacBook and my Co-founder uses windows, and we&

Hey! I'm actually one of the makers of Nototo. I'm quite surprised to find my own project trending on HackerNews! If anyone has questions feel free to ask me here! or at chen@nototo.app
