If you or an organisation you know uses GraphQL and want to rapidly ramp up AI agent capability, check out ToolQL. Just 2 files (.env and .graphql) to tool up a new agent. Extend w…

I just switched my banking from the largest national institution in Australia to a local credit union and another bank that has always had an online/phone only model and is good at…

Plus the Swedish Gripen jet fighters are designed to operate off roads rather than requiring long, smooth runways, as well as be main†ained in the field.

I learned a few years ago to see (and hear) the word "just" as a red flag, whether used by others or myself. I do catch myself "just"ing sometimes, but always seek to restate the s…

Some might say that's a part of the problem. After the cold war, many Eastern European states received financial and other support and thrived as western-style democracies while Ru…

Thanks, I'll look into hidden variables.

I read this article more because I'm interested in Zen than QM. But it prompted a question for me. What (if any) is the relationship between QM (which I understand to manifest main…

Prudent caution about snakes is good. I just today moved two small (<1m) but quite venomous snakes from my pool shed out into the bush, very carefully. But a reaction as extreme as…

Either Gsuite or Office 365 with the Web/mobile apps costs around $5/month/user, and includes Email. Just sayin.

I expect smart glasses to be the next UI paradigm. Very conveniently portable. AR style visual interfaces. Built in speakers for personal audio (bose already do this in sunglasses)…

What kind of instance is that on? Thanks for the article, very informative.

There is a third alternative with a clear advantage over these two. PNPM is an NPM client that installs versioned packages into a central location and uses file system links within…

I used to think the same about where I live - Australia - a lot bigger and more sparsely populated than Denmark. But here is an article about the first woman (and second person) to…

I did removals for a couple of years as a young man too. I disagree with your conclusion. There are so many different physical characteristics between each day's jobs - parking set…

Apparently it used to be considered something you would try and hide, back in the days of the cultural cringe[0], whereas now it can be seen as a bit of a badge of honour. My wife'…

Right, I'll explain that to my kids school then: "Hi, our family's switched from observing the clock, like everyone else in school, to operating on a schedule that is in rhythm wit…

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I hadn't heard of lit-html before. Another case of learning about something very useful via HN :) Yes it is lit-html that I was impressed by mor…

I like the use of template strings for, well, templating, with automatic differentiation between data values and event handlers, nice touch. The state mechanism seems similar to El…

"someone needs to find a way to make money from keeping climate change in check" What about a price on carbon? We should put the most powerful tool created by our civilisation - ou…
