My son and we as his parents really love Bluey, but it's impossible to buy a DVD set here in Germany, with German dub, because Disney distributes it exclusively through their plus platform. There are many more examples like these. Very

People hate the false effort signaling. Photos require effort and skill to take, and while it's perhaps less than an oil painting, it's still something. If you push AI-generated content to make stuff look fancy, it's a bad id

The thing that made me pull the plug on claude subscription was that I couldn't use pi. I can use codex on pi, deepseek on pi, I use them on different tasks and let them review each other. Tell deepseek flash anything you want changed

To complete the circle: The definition of working is vastly different among humans, and that's why we have (or trying to have) democracy.

Training impossibilities aside, how would you even make an optimization loop for "fun"?

Let's accept that engineering has 2 different uses and that's okay. If I tell people that I'm a civil engineer with nothing to show for it, it'd be as big of a problem like pretending to be an MD. For software engineerin

Yeah thanks for the response! We actually didn't consider Harburg exactly because of the bad reputation, but thanks to your comment we'll have another look. Cheers!

Every time I want to have fun coding something with natural language processing, I use deepseek flash. It's just incredible for the price. I have a fairly popular app with 400 users that uses DeepSeek in the background and it still did

We're living in Hesse and every time we make the long trip to go to Hamburg the Stadtpark is where we spend most of our time. You'll think I'm exaggerating but honestly, we're thinking of moving to Hamburg and the Stadtp

TL;DR: SQLite was doing OLAP work it was never built for (and it was okay at it, I must add), and the perf. ceiling moves two orders of magnitude when you use something that's more fit for the purpose (DuckDB in this case). TLDRTL;DR:

I think it looks high quality. Perhaps it needs a way for those mini-html apps to store data? Also some additional docs and clear marketing that differentiates it from Obsidian would be cool as well.

I also have one I developed according to my use: https://github.com/egeozcan/mahpastes It has a rest api and a cli tool, and also the possibility to make headless deployments, and it can sync clips without a sync serve

Answer with: You could have your own hacker news, it's just a textbox, a bunch of tables and headings! Once you add these, it'll be abundantly clear that you also need a database. It should now be obvious that you also need a user

I'd kindly suggest that we could also stop calling them "distillation attacks ".

I personally think that if you are adding a sortable component to a content-driven website, maybe it is moving away from being such a website. Normally a textarea should be enough for most people to order a "list" but if the list

Yes but then you're doing HTMX not HTML and at that point why not use something that's more flexible. I'm saying this as a person who still maintains a small application done with Intercooler.js and is perfectly happy with it

I don't know what I could be doing differently to you but I found Opus 5 to be more reliable than even myself at times. Maybe your stack is unusual or you have conflicting commands in your prompts vs CLAUDE.md (that really confuses it)
