System of Records especially for boring industries is the way to go. What kind of wrapper SaaS are you seeing getting dropped?

Nice, what kind of agents and integrations are you seeing being used?

Good point -- removed for being biased and partial. Thanks for the feedback!

Exactly, a lot more focus -- and most importantly specific domain knowledge -- allows the end-user to build exactly what they need, fast.

That's a fair point. I envision this as the difference between an electron interacting with the proton or an acid reacting with the base vs me touching my keyboard. Do you feel there's a difference there?

He's the best hard sci fi author by far. Permutation City is also a must read especially because of its thought experiments around consciousness and computation.

Indeed, it's been great learning about the various interpretations as this idea took hold over the years! What I wasn't able to properly highlight is how this belief has become a fundamental part of my day to day, moment to moment

This is one of my fundamental beliefs about the nature of consciousness. We are never able to interact with the physical world directly, we first perceive it and then interpret those perceptions. More often than not, our interpretation igno

Previously in the story it is mentioned that George as a child was curious about the etymology of the Olympics event and asked his father, only to be dismissed. The callback at the end symbolizes his renewed curiosity. He is no longer asham

I've never heard bandwidth being expressed in bytes. But if we're being pedantic then I'd like to throw my hat in and call it 62.5kB. Or even better, 62.5KiB (for kibibyte)

A "clone" usually doesn't mean that they'll copy the content, but the idea, like Ola is a clone of Uber. (Though they probably should've said a link aggregator instead of HN clone.)

I had a similar beautiful experience where an experienced programmer answered one of my elementary JavaScript typing questions when I was just starting to learn programming. He didn't need to, but he gave the most comprehensive answer

How do we know if something is "mumbo jumbo" until we actually check and verify it?

What does the first pdf mean? (And does it remind anyone else of an ee cummings poem or is it just me)

What's the best way to move between multiple windows of the same app? E.g. I have multiple Cursor folders open on different folders.

Excellent report and stats. Where and how was the data gathered and processed?

LOGO and Dangerous Dave were my childhood. I never was able to complete DAVE :( (This was around 2005 for me!)

Typographical fun fact: An em-dash is approximately the width of the letter "M", and an en-dash is the width of a lowercase n! The latter is barely used, but is the right way to indicate dates like 2023-25. The more you know!

It's a terrible side effect of AI that regular people using em dashes in honest writing are labelled as AI. I have a deep love for em and en dashes--you can see heavy usage in my writing that's 10 years older than chatgpt. My love

Interesting idea but unfortunately the given example comic makes very little sense. It was difficult to parse even as someone who's familiar with these concepts, and I think it will hurt more than help any newbies.

Good call. I stand corrected: this is a human written comment masquerading as AI, enough so that I fell for it at my initial quick glance. Excellent satire!

Is this clearly AI-generated comment part of the joke?

Similar technologies have been built and reinvented over and over again. There is a critical mass of users needed to make this "social network", and turns out (big surprise) most people don't want or care about this technolog

I moved to SF this year and I love this poem. Q: is the church of 8 wheels really a popular destination? Or is this the poet's bias towards the haight and hayes areas? For me, Mission Dolores represents "classic SF" and is th

We intuitively think in particles and see a world of billiard balls colliding with one another. But actually everything is merely waves and fields. There's going to be a time where humans finally reconcile the quantum with the newtonia
