Felt like AI slop. I used to do what it recommends, and it got me nowhere other than more stress and higher expectations from senior management.

I believe that’s the point. I had the optimal solution for some time but was convinced there was something better. Eventually I submitted, and seeing the perfect score was more thrilling after convincing myself I was an idiot.

> you can only really get them to surface that Sometimes you don’t even need to surface it. You just force responsibility: “This will prevent us from being ready for Friday’s demo. If you’re cool with that I’ll run it by {project sponsor

Have a look at L2BEAT - any L2 EVM in the top 10 is fine (disclosure: I work for an L2). Check their native token price to understand gas price and onboarding complexity. Some L2s use ETH bridged from Ethereum rather than a native token.

I don’t think doing that will change anything. Only real options - without a career shift - that I’ve identified are to work for companies building something that’s never been built before, or building a SaaS that serves a niche.

I didn’t even notice the TLD, wow that makes it even worse. Funny thing is I don’t actually have anything in my Gdrive. It’s just the principle that irks me.

How do I even know this is a real Google product? Okay I’ll trust the domain (hopefully it’s not googIe.com). How do I know it has no vulnerabilities? Google is a massive company. There’s a big difference between trusting an established tea

Apple TV (the box) has an Enhance Dialogue option built-in. Even that plus a pair of Apple-native HomePods on full volume didn’t help me hear wtf was going on in parts of Pirates of the Caribbean (2003) on Disney. If two of the biggest comp

People looking for emotional support from friends and family during an emotionally draining event?

That’s one approach. Another is that you can complain about things companies do that you don’t like.

I googled it and it was defined as a marketing term, so I figured that can’t be the right one in a comment about freedom of speech.

Great photo from an artistic POV, completely useless to get a sense of the main subject of the tunnel: the cables carrying electricity.

Is reading HN a thick or thin desire? If you say thin: I say, what if today I find an article about thick and thin desires that changes me?

I had a relative ask me to buy them an Amazon voucher as a birthday gift, because they lived on the other side of the world, didn’t want to eat the SWIFT charges, and didn’t know how to offramp cryptocurrency. For some reason every card I p

Many: You run a business from home but do not want to reveal you personal address to the world. You are from a country that Stripe doesn’t support but need to make use of their unique capabilities like Stripe Connect, then you might sign up

I was a nerdy kid living in the middle of nowhere in Africa. I think we’d had dialup for about 2 years at that, and I emailed him with some questions about how to understand the mathematical notations used in his EROS work. He was very kind

It’s bizarre to me that not one megawealthy tech nerd has thrown 8 figures at some smart people in an attempt to solve the capabilities-based OS UX problem. The payoff would be remarkable.

I think this argument conflates “what’s possible” with “what’s reasonable”. In a complex modern society, we can’t all be expected to have backup plans to the Nth degree. Is it possible to bore for my own water supply, install solar+inverter

I use it all the time too, but recording a voice memo doesn’t seem possible without touch (you need to tap to actually record)?

The modern equivalent of these maps is the ‘terrain’ layer, not the ‘satellite’ layer.

It’s 2025. Nobody is looking at a hand-drawn map for accuracy.

There are armies of people at universities, Code4rena and Sherlock who do this full-time. Oh and apparently Anthropic too. Tough game to beat if you have other commitments.
