Google Meet doesn't require a client

Weird to hear a full throated defense of the RIAA here

15 million dollars

My launch Switch 1 battery is still working. Capacity is probably 80% or less but it still works fine.

Maybe Claude is operating at a higher, self-improving level than all of us poor HN commenters. Wasting the local machine's resources to look pretty is a plausibly deniable way to m…

zoom settings fucking suck to set up full AI summary / transcript btw. i know it's a one time cost but it's across every engineer

Have you learned anything interesting from your agent ant farm?

Android handhelds (e.g. AYN Thor, Odin 3, Retroid Pocket 6) have been becoming more and more useful for PC gaming via apps like GameNative and GameHub. See for example, Elden Ring:…

why not just use Plaid under the hood

What's wrong with Express?

why do you think agents you make yourself will be better for you? integration with tooling that you prefer? your local dev setup built in? curious as i haven't gotten around to wri…

I don't know Tai Lopez and he seems like an asshole based on his public persona but I think you'd be surprised by the number of (especially first generation) millionaires who will …

I have a more nuanced take here. For low performing or junior employees, remote work was generally a terrible thing that led to less productivity (and more managerial overhead). Fo…

Editing notes on the content - the content of this blog post is clearly AI-enhanced (emdash) which is ok but the tone is not. It's super flowery and oversold - example "It was a sh…

What is wrong about their claims?

No mention of product prototyping products e.g. vercel v0 or Firebase Studio. Those to me seem like clear 0->1 wins, especially vercel with their hosting/marketplace integrating we…

Any ranking of states that ends with Mississippi is one I can get behind
