    I just tried it, and the answer is non-sense. I asked it something simple, list some good indie puzzle games, and half the answers are games that don't exist. Imo quality > speed.

    No? The only different between these robots and a washing machine is that in theory, the robot is generalist and can do many tasks, whereas a washing or laundry machine can only do…

    SpaceX has had 165 launches in 2025 (although admittedly 75% of those were for Starlink...) Obviously bigger isn't more economical or sensical, and most cases are served just fine …

    Even better, since everything is well organized, you can add `opacity: 0.7` to `.wall` specifically, and get something that looks almost exactly like how old school wallhacks looke…

    If it's just a tool for myself, and I use a webkit based browser, why would I use a hacky solution for a browser I don't use?

    Yep, Tile I believe is the only third party service that exists. All other trackers either plug into "Apple Find My" or "Android Find My Device" network. There's finally starting t…

    Atuvos one at 1.6mm and UGreen one at 1.7mm are great, though one time battery is annoying. There are some that have wireless charging, though thicker.

    That's awesome. I'm glad that trackers have reached a price point, reliability and form factors that I can easily put one in everything I care about. I even have card ones in my wa…

    You could try passing it 10-20 front pages across a much wider time range. You can use: https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2025-12-04 to get the frontpage on a given date.

    > The winners aren’t necessarily those with the best models Is there evidence that's true? That the other models are significantly better than the ones you named?
