I am in Singapore too — I saw you're doing an early stage startup here and wonder how you find the scene/ecosystem here? My sense is: - Engineers, while cheaper than the US, are still fairly expensive and are typically quite risk-

I actually first came across you on the Internet for the cool stuff you did reverse engineering the Obsidian sync engine! (On that note, I remember the CEO's response was praised for being measured/reasonable, but if I'm not

Ah I see. You're right, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it's an intentional dark pattern.

On a related note, there is this recent tweet purportedly showing that "offering to give a tip to ChatGPT" improves performance (or at the very least resulted in longer responses, which might not be a good proxy for performance)

I think it's a reference to the "discovery" that if you ask GPT-4 to answer your query "step by step", it'll actually offer a better response than otherwise.

I tend to think the surveillance/spying distinction is a little fragile and this more a continuation of what Bruce has previously written insightfully about, i.e. the blurring of lines between private/public surveillance and, as t

Why can't the crawler problem be stopped by something like CAPTCHA or Cloudflare Turnstile?

is there any reason why can't GitHub put their code search behind something like Cloudflare Turnstile? if HaveIBeenPwned can do this, why not GitHub? https://www.troyhunt.com/fighting-api-bots-with-cloudflares-...

I understand why you feel this way, but this seems to be the trend for all the latest generation of "polished" software and I think they do this so they can retain users. (Another example that comes to mind is Warp, the terminal w

Relatedly, I have seen the graph showing the dip in SO traffic by ~30% if I'm not wrong (and the corresponding hot takes that attribute that to the rise of LLMs). I know most people are pessimistic that LLMs will lead to SO and the web

To those arguing that GitHub needs to do this because search is resource intensive, why can't GitHub put their code search behind something like Cloudflare Turnstile? See e.g. Troy Hunt doing this for HaveIBeenPwned: https:/&#x2F

I’m new to HN, could I check how does this report/vouching thing work? If someone is new and their comments get reported (because people disagree? or must there be a violation of the site guidelines), then the comment would be marked a

I agree that the author could’ve done more to make the case for the other side. Where I have some firsthand knowledge, I find eg his suggestion that Binance and FTX divided up markets based on US geopolitical affiliation implausible and unc
