At first I assumed this would finally blocked auto-generated garbage SEO spam results. But it seems to just list a bunch of AI art generators and other pretty useful content. This seems more like a whitelist tbh.

Befriend your neighbors. It's not as low-pressure as coworkers, but it's close. Not necessarily the immediate ones, but people in the neighborhood or apartment. Most people are normal, friendly and receptive.

A drop-in redis replacement with rather impressive latency and throughput bench figures. Wonder what its like to operate in a non-azure stack in the real world.

I love how SSE is just a "don't close the connection and just keep flushing data". I bet IE6 supports this.

Why didn't you check the logs as the first thing to understand what's happening -- a standard operational practice? And then to prevent this, you just lock the dependencies via a lockfile -- a well documented solution. This is jus

I just want wasd controls. Clicking around and then getting surprised by various speech bubbles in not good UX.

We should add more specific exceptions to 1201 of DMCA to prevent rampant abuse and this unrepairability nonsense.

Is there a practical way to block any outgoing communication and telemetry from getting sent? Like a Little Snitch but for your car?

Nicely done! Easy to get started and super intuitive. Some bugs here and there (clicking the plus button is giving 404 on my end for example), but seems solid. Congrats.

This needs a "visual explanation" treatment. The concepts are graspable by the average HN reader, but this presentation is just difficult to approach. I tried using ChatGPT to decompose a lot of the terms, which actually helps, bu

What does this use behind the scenes? This type of stuff can get pretty expensive if you're relying on elevenlabs or heygen.

"unimaginable goal: providing JSTOR access in 1,000 prisons." If this is in the realm of "unimaginable goals" for them, then public access to science is infinitesimally unlikely. What a joke of an organization.

I'm very positive I can actually understand the terminology used in discussing machine learning models if it was presented in a way that describes the first principles a little bit better, instead of diving directly into high level abs

Looking at it closer, many (all?) of these are GWT apps, not applets. GWT was "The React" of 2006.

You can make a reasonable interactive app with htmx + javascript, but tings will be rather barebones -- you'll need to invent some patterns outside of what HTMX prescribes. With react you get somewhat prescriptive low-level patterns wh

HTMX relying on a server request to make even minor UI changes (e.g. their first example https://htmx.org/examples/click-to-edit/ ) is wild to me. You might remember when a thing called DHTML revolutionized how Jav

I didn't expect this to "just work", but it does for me. I don't remember getting java installed. I'm running firefox nightly on windows.

Agreed. Not a justification, but an explanation/excuse as to why systems are less reliable. You're right on the mark -- when reliability doesn't scale with complexity, you get this.

The complexity and scale of moderns systems are on another scale of magnitude.

App stores with stringent and restrictive policies do indeed help prevent this type of scams, unfortunately.

Very satisfying! And definitely unlike any other puzzle I've seen. Nicely done. Edit: just finished the set. This is wordle-level addicting at this point. Different strategies to think of, and insanely satisfying endgame.

That's an obvious agenda-driven take and very dangerous for a prosecutor to take on. Hope the judges disagree.
