After seeing the website but before reading your comments I honestly thought it was an elaborate piece of satire designed to mock people who demand "source?" from you as a rhetorical demand for asymmetrical effort. And I actually

This isn't real! This is a phantom of the attention economy! AI SDR companies are all very similar and the product doesn't really work so there's too much capital in a small market. The winning strategy is to quickly grab as

From OP's Github: "I am a 20-year-old university student living in Japan. Although I'm a liberal arts major, I aspire to become an engineer." Just FYI - this is most likely vibe coding that a sycophantic AI has persuaded

> Uploads to an S3 bucket can trigger a lambda… don’t complicate things. I read this and was getting ready to angrily start beating my keyboard. The best satire is hard to detect.

I was going to make the old joke about discrete vs discreet but I suppose that blockchain trading is both.

This is sad to hear. We loved Gather but the technical issues stacked up and we made the choice to kill it around 2 weeks ago. We've still been searching for a proper replacement for go-karting. Our team greatly enjoyed that little min

If today you told me all this about Enron or FTX while they are still an industry darling, I for one wouldn't want to bet against them. For every FTX where cooked books leads to epic failure, there is a Tether where cooked books lead t

Not to mention "auditors", whose goal is to use the ambiguous nature of feels-like-a-privacy-invasion-but-legally-isnt when you stick a camera in someone's face in a public place to try and get a rise out of people and prance

This is fascinating. If you wrote a long essay about this, I (and probably most of hacker news) would surely love to read it.

This sounds like a fascinating niche piece of technical expertise I would love to hear more about. What are the biggest challenges in scaling metadata from a trillion to a quadrillion objects?

Determinism means that the control logic should lead to the same set of behaviours every time with the same set of inputs under otherwise normal runtime conditions. And if you're gonna come back with "but that's not real de

Having occasionally looked into these, the overwhelming issue is that pretty much all of them are built with themselves and the output is what you'd expect - vast quantities of untested functionality, no documentation beyond a wall of

I /adore/ the hand-drawn styling of this webpage (although the punchline, domain name, and beautiful overengineering are great too). Where did it come from? Is it home grown?
