For something less dystopian take a look at pushscroll. It’s an app that tracks you visually doing push ups (or squats or planks) and gives you minutes of unblocking time for each repetition.

You should probably take the service down before the HN crowd maxes out your credit card with the already discovered security and auth issues. Then find a technical co founder of you still want to pursue this idea and build it from scratch.

Interesting, I read the comment and it had some very valid points and didn’t veer off into AI brabble. If it is AI I’d like to see the prompt!

Vibe coded most likely. The creator might figure out the problems with that approach the hard way.

Yes and in addition for some reason that use case is also not a fit for some cheap OS model like qwen or kimi, but must be run on the cheapest model of the big three.

I just assumed that the goal was to make an exact reproduction of the original, but I might have gotten that wrong.

If I included the exact same graphics as the original, but I did paint them all by hand myself, would you think that makes a difference? No it doesn’t. And what you are proposing is just the same with extra steps. They could include graphic

The mcp part is not essential for the actual controlling of the applications. You could “rip out” the mcp functionality and replace it with something else. The only reason why the authors chose mcp is most likely that it was the first and t

I like the way you think. If the loud bang takes care of the pigeons, the water gun is available.

Nice experiment, but my Mac already switches to dark mode at the right time (I’m sure windows and Linux can do the same if you want it that way). So defaulting to system preference would already result in the same behaviour (while also cove

Afaik almost a monopoly: there is Deutsche Telekom which does the same thing and Vodafone. I think apart from some local providers almost everybody else is just a reseller of one of the two.

I missed the "power" when I skimmed the headline and clicked the link. I was slightly dissapointed when I finally realised that the OP is in fact not building his own solar system.

Googles jules does the same (but was only published yesterday or so). I think it might be a good workflow if the agent is good enough. Copilot seems not to be in these examples and then I imagine it becomes quite tedious to have a PR for ev

Yes, my wife recently lost a bunch of files on her iPad. The files just dissapeared and are nowhere to be found. Of course I thought that it must have been a "user error", but some research showed that this a bug that affects a bu

I just want to claim my bragging rights and say that I was backer #105 on Kickstarter for the original pebble. I’m happy that it’s coming back, it was such a great device.

The style reminded me of BOFH or dailywtf, maybe that’s what they we’re aiming for? But I agree: ChatGPT adding some unnecessary aria labels is neither newsworthy nor unexpected
