Had a lot of fun trying to break this. Turns out you can screenshot real easily by zooming out. Maybe there are other ways but I stopped trying :)

Oh my God. That domain is parked and for sale for $125,000?!?! Wild.

Gonna be some wild conspiracies some day in the future, when humanity has altered the moon visibly but 'good old phones from way back in the day' take photos that "clearly" show no change to the moon.

Did you do anything fancy to get the whole Pico docs into context? I see on their website that their docs are split up across a bunch of pages, did you copy+paste each one into a large prompt document? I was hoping to see a single-page docs

Oh gosh sorry, I do try to contribute positively to HN and write quality comments. I'll expand: I've been in circumstances where I've been rented a company car in a foreign country, felt that I was a good driver, but struggle

I think you’re referencing the tornado EF scale, not the hurricane Saffir-Simpson scale.

Oh I don’t use Gemini! I did try it out and admittedly formed an opinion too narrow on cli agents. But no way do I actually use Gemini.

Oh that's wild, I did suspect that but didn't know it outright. Mind-blowing Google would release that kind of thing, I had wondered why it sucked so much haha. Okay so what is a good representation of the current state of coding

I really think the current trend of CLI coding agents isn't going to be the future. They're cool but they are _too simple_. Gemini CLI often makes incorrect edits and gets confused, at least on my codebase. Just like ChatGPT would

I really think people are approaching LLMs wrong when it comes to code. Just directing an agent to make you something you’re unfamiliar with is always going to end up with this. It’s much better to have a few hours chat with the LLM and lea

I have come to absolutely despise web form inputs with front end email validators that are broken. Input field hints to type your email, so you start typing. As soon as you type the first letter it goes red and says “error!!! Invalid email!

You can use any phone with a barometer to make a scale. All iPhones since the 6, and all the Pixels, and Samsung flagships have one. You get a zip loc bag, blow some air into it, put your phone in running an app that shows the pressure in a

That will be done with a solar gravitational lens - there's a recent-ish NASA paper about it. Basically you send your probe to > 550 AU in the opposite direction of your target exoplanet, point it at the Sun and you will get a warpe

Fantastic feedback, my gosh, thank you. Yes the home content doesn’t do a good job of explaining what it is. Honestly that’s because a lot of the ideas I typed here are pretty fresh, and my ‘marketplace’ is only implemented on prod as a pro

Yeah this exact thing is happening to me also. Minutes of runtime and only errors. I guess I’ll try again later? I have billing up and I’m Tier 1. Wouldn’t expect to hit limits like this on the first prompt.

I'm building something like this. The value to you would be that you could earn a margin on the token costs. That is, the end user is charged 2x the token cost of the API call. The API provider earns the base cost, the platform owner e

All life on Earth is going die. Humanity has never been content with staying put, why would we start now? And what do you mean "literally nothing there"? The universe has a loooooot of stuff in it.
