Exactly this. Part of the experience of riding a motorcycle is being acutely aware of your surroundings at all times. I rode a motorcycle as my daily commute for years, and then when I switched to a car it felt oddly strange how little I ha

You can't pay someone "in seconds" with Bitcoin. Oftentimes it takes up to 5 minutes just for the transaction to begin, and usually more than 20 minutes for the transfer to complete.

With its price volatility, Bitcoin is a terrible store of value. (It's a speculative investment, not a store of value) It has nearly doubled in the past year. Which is great if you're holding it as a speculative asset. Not great i

This reminds me of when I went to a dentist in SF who told me I needed to have my wisdom teeth out. I did the initial exam, and then hesitated when it came to booking the procedure. The dentist noticed my hesitation, and said something alon

Do they have tooling for generating scaffolding for various things (like unit/integration tests)? If we’re guessing what code is easiest and largest proportion of codebase to write, my first guess would be test suites. Lots of lines of

As I reflect and re-read my comment, I think for me it’s simply I’m overloaded. Looking at a face while talking vs. a tree just increases the mental energy necessary for the call. When you’re chronically exhausted, you start cutting out the

I added an “edit” to clarify I don’t believe IQ and ADHD are connected. “Redefining” could have instead said “Reinterpreting”. The reality is the diagnosis for these disorders are completely subjective. The same logic could be applied to de

I think their opinion is along the lines of “no one is ‘inflicted’ by ADHD, and there is also no permanent cure for it, because the disorder can simply be redefined as being those who are in the lowest quartile or even the lowest 10% of X,

I agree. But that’s not a fixable problem in my eyes. At least not without extreme and sweeping changes driven by some kind of government regulation or ICANN mandates which, if enacted, would probably be highly criticized on HN. There are j

This summarizes my relationship with Chipotle. We have 1 location in my area. I go maybe once a month hoping for a decent experience, but every single time they are out of key ingredients (no chicken, no beans, no chips, etc). I really don’

That’s cool! It would be great if you could easily expand each subtopic into further sub-subtopics. Was there anything particularly interesting about how you built it or the prompts needed to get decent results?
