You should be happy. It is a great way to present things like this. That there are still little parts of the internet where things are not well collected makes me feel so positive that there is still work to do

Great work. I feel like these 'consolidation of the internet into one specialist format' sites are one area where the non-corporate Internet can still flourish. This is much less niche than my own project! And there is still room

Did you try a comparitivly priced professional hoover against it?

Of course they will. People buy rubbish like this all the time. Here I am in a hotel room with a Dyson fan, which simultaneously moves less air, and is more noisy, with a much more piercing tone, than my home fan with blades that I boug

I wish I could afford Fable. I am using Claude and Claude code for my own amateur history project. I'm enjoying how it constantly reaches dead ends, and I can reframe the question and get more results. I am starting to get concerned th

Can I suppose that Cursor, by seeing everyones prompts and all of the responses from the models, are in a position to sort of MITM distill them?

It's amazing really that this drive is there. Obviously a university needs some money, but... The top universities have been successfull for over 900 years in focusing on having the best teaching and research. Do we really think that

I don't get the references, sorry, but I do see your underlying point. I just wish the people who value critical thinking so highly when we are talking about the js ecosystem or llms, didn't turn into Victorians when we talk abou

I feel like HN should ban discussion of homelessness, due to the extreme ignorance and prejudice of the comments. A bunch of people who don't know the first thing about it jumping to conclusions. The quality of the comments here is so

If I was 17 again I would sack off work and study and focus on chasing the opposite sex, without the angst I had at the time. I don't know a single person who regrets having had too much sex when they were young. I would not build an

Yes. It tells you to stop trying to fit in with the NT world and get on with being who you are. It could save you from a neurodivergent breakdown in your 40s that could take years to recover from. I trivialise because my wife is pressuring

I just browsed it on mobile. Each article preview is in a little box, just scroll around to it. It works fine for me. The alternative modern mobile view leaves very little on the page, and forces you to click back and fwd, and back button

My mother always covered up and always made us kids cover up. She still died of melanoma. Sun may increase the risk, but sun cream doesn't make it impossible. Cancer has no friends. Well done to the drug researchers. I have my finger

I recently found there was no website covering a historical subject, with sites begging to be visited. The information was scattered and not presented in the form people would find most useful (a map). A couple of days later it was up with
