As a parent of a new kid, being present is exactly why I wanted a pair - I didn't want to spend time looking at them through a screen, but still wanted to keepsake some precious ea…

We thought about it - but concluded that any auto-cleaning would fall under "undoing many of the benefits of the canvas." Like a housekeeper who straightens up your desk and sudden…

Cofounder of a now-defunct multiplayer, real-time infinite canvas project here (Here.fm) We could not for the life of us figure out how to make this a meaningful productivity tool.…

Probably similar to many of you on HN, I've spent years and decades building stuff for a purpose. To "do" something, to hit a metric, to solve someone's problem. Trying to create w…

It's clear time and again that having short-term growth at all costs means you can't have principles.

Lots of agreement and think there has been a lot written about the sterilization of something that was once beautiful and creative. Sad but inevitable when your best kept secret cl…

This tweet was from 3 days ago. Mismanaged comms? Yes HN front page effect? Prob not (could be Reddit frontpage effect or related tho)

> I don't like it, but can't do much about it. Is the culture really such that you can't escalate an obvious, fairly minor mistake that is turning into disastrous PR? That would ex…

I'm concerned that there's no real way to "opt out" of an AI future realistically. Is this something that people are seriously thinking they'll be able to do and successfully stay …

I'm not an OAI fanboy by a longshot - but I'd view lots of experiments that didn't work out as a healthy thing, especially for a company trying to find footing in a new industry.

Right, depends on your use cases. I was looking forward to the model as an upgrade to 2.5 Flash, but when you're processing hundreds of millions of tokens a day (not hard to do if …

Half of the founders will say never quit. The other half will say you have to fail fast. Choose your gurus wisely.

Reading an AI blog post (or reddit post, etc) just signals that the author actually just doesn't care that much about the subject.. which makes me care less too.

I read it as rolling with her own joke and lightening the load on the B+ rating (obviously also expressed as a loving ribbing given the context around it)

That's a lot to invest in someone at a large comparative loss, in a world where employees don't last more than a couple years before job hopping.

nobody in my life feeds me as many positive messages as Claude Code. It's as if my dog could talk to me. I just hope nobody takes this simple pleasure away

Incidental gatekeeping by leaving it on the black market isn't the way to keep it safe, quite the opposite - that poses a lot of dangerous risks. Bringing it into the light under t…

Thanks to your father for his contribution to my childhood, I used QModem every single day until my parents screamed, and it changed my life. I made friends on some local BBSes tha…

These labels do as much to hurt ourselves as they do to try and help. The truth (for me at least) is that whether I'm comfortable and energized by others depends on my level of com…

Well finally I have a new excuse to ask dumb questions here... But what I mean is, what are the downstream consequences of this knowledge? Does it change how we can reason about he…

If this were also true for humans, what would the implications be?

Missed opportunity to name it Strawbery

Most important point on keeping friction to a minimum is the reduction of moving parts in your app. Find the most architecturally simple way to build, without relying on many third…

I worked in the Meta NY office for a while, and had a friend living down the block with anxiety, with a prescription to treat it. Sometime during my tenure, her prescription starte…

Our team has been looking at Highlight recently and getting feedback from our team -- and they love it. Super solid product that will replace a lot of what we use now for logging a…
