    I think you can be present in the moment, but still find value in a tool like this. I may not be "the norm" because I'm legally blind, but in some sense, a tool like this could mak…

    Thinking completely selfishly, as a visually impaired person, I want these to succeed, because they can be a great assistive tool. And assistive tools being general consumer produc…

    Let's start a $1.3bn goFundMe, and invite all billionnaires with a conscience (do they even exist?) to put some money in. + an extra $20 in postage to mail a turd to donny

    I feel like they do and they don't at the same time. The buildings may look different, but city center rents driving out a lot of small local businesses, and leaving the same brand…

    I'm curious whether people feel like UX could at all be a differentiator here. like, sure, i can build a very quick crud app with Ai in an hour, but there are lots of UX decisions …

    This looks interesting! I understand not wanting to put out a narrated tour as the video, but being visually impaired, i find video demos without narration, that constantly move ar…

    It's unfortunate that this is necessary. It should be obvious that wearing noise cancelling headphones in trafic, including as a pedestrian, is a bad idea. I'm legally blind, so I …

    If you just bell once or twice, and don't aggressively keep ringing, I'd never consider a bicycle bell in a shared space rude. I even consider it good manners, though as others hav…

    It is a benefit if you're a stakeholder in those companies, or your friends are stakeholders and will pass on some of the winnings as a "thank you."

    I guess? At least there you can review the plan, but is this planning mode any better at making architectural decisions than when you prompt an LLM and let it make the changes dire…

    I like this a lot! One thing I found as a somewhat experienced solver of cryptic crosswords, is that it was confusing that I couldn't just type an answer. I skipped the tutorial/le…

    This is an interesting idea, and I'd love to see whether people come up with interesting stories/imaginations with this, but I feel very strongly pushed to engage before I've even …

    I never considered the volume of output tokens from dev tools, but yeah, I like this idea a lot.

    I can certainly believe that this is really an agent doing this, but I can't help that part of my brain is going "some guy i his parents' basement somewhere is trolling the hell ou…
