   Is the "demouser@" account meant to be used to try out the system? I could not actually login, because the password specified for this demo account was rejected by the password field's validation code as being insufficiently

   Please submit it again, as its own post, using "Show HN" -- this deserves more eyeballs! Personally, I found it striking how similar this looks to the other doomscrolling sites (sure, it's only superficial, but if you don&#x2

   Thank you for injecting a much-needed reality-check into this discussion. My experience corroborates yours too, so here's N=2, FWIW.

   This has been brewing for a while now. It's only going to get worse. (excerpt from the 2019 NYT Article "Human Contact Is Now a Luxury Good" below) Bill Langlois has a new best friend. She is a cat named Sox. She lives on a t

    Thank you for making and sharing this! Also, nice to see decent documentation -- esp. explaining the concepts up front, and readable sample code too!

    I admire your restraint in engaging with GP -- kudos! FWIW, it looks (to me) like "the world's most comfortable jail for your face". That you cannot even peer out of this jail, but instead have an ersatz rendered version of y

    Pure speculation, but I wonder if it's related to the massive technical glitches during the recent attempt to stream an audio interview recently?

    I was myopically focused on avoiding software stacks that are flavor-of-the-month and don't provide much !/$ -- but you've correctly pointed out that the hardware is much more likely to flake out first. In particular, reliabl

    Maybe it's just me, but this video looked like dystopian satire... did anyone else view it that way? It reminded me of Keiichi Masuda's "Hyper Reality": https://youtu.be/YJg02ivYzSs

    I will always lend my voice to a vote for the TWSBI Eco. I have used it after leaving it in a drawer for months, and it just starts up without issues.

    Speaking only for myself, it took a few months of regular writing. Like (perhaps) others, I had been forced to use them in grade school -- we were told that "it would improve our handwriting". It laid a foundation for fluency in c

    I'll second this recommendation! The TWSBI Eco is a beautiful, robust, and dependable pen.

    Nuance, discernment, and careful judgement don't scale. Yet, we keep trying to build rules, societal norms, APIs (and now AIs) to try and achieve this at scale. And it always fails.

    Your comment reminds me of how HFT is now in a similar regime -- speed is everything, and whoever can trade with the lowest latency, wins.

    I was hoping you'd share your thoughts in this thread! Have you incorporated any embedding model in your search engine? FWIW, I personally enjoy using marginalia and like its current spartan + fast design.

    Your closing sentence made me realize that there are "social contracts" on the Internet, and we're suddenly in a new regime. Our notions of how to operate (and how to monetize) will have to recalibrate to this drastically alt

    Thank you for building and sharing this! Have you tested this on a large photo/video collection? How does it perform with (say) 20k images? Excited to try this out for my own needs, as long as it can handle real-world usage.
