Interesting thoughts. I can’t refute or support your assertions about the cause of journalism’s demise off hand, but I actually am very curious whether a publication could find success in a model where one could pay a nominal fee to access

Goodness. I never realized how nostalgic it would feel to flip channels. Your project took me all the way back to being a kid in the 90s and clicking through channels on the TV at my grandparents' house after school. I love it when I u

I think this still illustrates the problem, though: where is the start of the number line? Perhaps this alien species has a right-to-left written language. Or top to bottom. How would one help orient the alien to the left to right numbering

Amusingly, I immediately thought 9.11 - but in the context of a newer version of software. Ever have those moments where you're so deep in context of some ecosystem that you skip right past the basics, like 9.9 being a larger number th

Wish I could access the study. Curious to learn more. When was this conducted? Relatively recently, after the commercial boom of LLMs, or prior, when AI was less front and center in the minds of an average consumer? What are the characteris

It's okay! We'll just hook up 4o to the Waymo and get quippy messages like those in 4o's demo videos: "Oh, there's a tornado in front of you! Wow! Isn't nature exciting? Haha!" As long as the Waymo can be

While the first death opened up many questions for me, this death was the result of a MRSA infection, stroke, and pneumonia. This headline feels like it's trying to play on the conspiracy theorists among us, with the important bit way

I had a similar experience moving from the Bay Area to Kansas in the 2010s. I landed in the KC metro just in time for the most recent local emergence. I was amazed at what was such a foreign experience. There were so many cicadas flying abo

There was a Launch HN yesterday [0] that featured something similar on their landing page, which caught my attention as it was the first time I'd seen such a badge. Are there other projects floating around I've somehow never seen

Fun! Over a decade ago, my boss and I added a secret knock using Shave and a Haircut just like this to our wayfinder product, a large touchscreen app used on trade show floors. It’s how we got into our admin to maintenance them at the shows

Ah, more layoffs! Setting aside the things I'm feeling when reading this, I'm trying to piece together a picture, for my own curiosity, of this trend, and I'm left with many questions, among those: * Are all these layoffs mea

Similar experience. Really bad timing for some other life events that took me out of and brought me back to the market now. I’ve stretched my network. All the companies in it are laying off or have frozen hiring. Connections themselves are

Hiring folks on contract was less expensive due to the lack of US domestic taxes (e.g. social security). With Section 174 changes, though, that's not the case anymore, and I've spent a lot of time understanding that (because of th

I hear you, and appreciate the response. The bias of my experience tells me that the "what if" factor can be created by a single person experimenting. When the thing that one person created takes off, awesome - hire some more folk

Not parent, but I’ve hired and worked with a lot of great folks from Argentina, Romania, and Ukraine. Other countries from which I’ve hired fewer, but generally solid, folks are Spain, Poland, Columbia, and Costa Rica. Usually as contractor

Some of these animations transported me back 20-25 years ago to the days when I would have Winamp cranking with its visualization plugins. Fun times. Cool animations here.

Very interesting. I've introspected a great deal lately to (try to) gauge my own biases with regard to these technologies, because I think AI is absolutely incredible and I'm less skeptical about it than other things, namely crypt
