    HN discussions are filled with negative-sentiment AI comments that quickly get upvoted regardless of their connection to reality.

    Is this not literally just Claude Code? I don't understand the hysteria.

    > A study by MIT found that students who use AI to write show far less brain activity than those who used classic Google searching (with AI off) or those who used neither. Other st…

    The site is performing poorly for me. For example, the login page took 9 seconds to load, same with the home page.

    I have no idea what happens next if we create and horizontally scale superintelligence; one thing I do know for sure is it won't be "business as usual".

    I'm working on Atomic Cloud, the hosted version of my open source knowledge graph project. https://atomicapp.ai/cloud/

    That's a much less generous interpretation of his writing. "Yes we will birth superintelligence, but everything will just sort of work out for us humans". This seems like a silly t…

    I felt the same way in 2024-2025. Then Sonnet 4 was released, and things started feeling different. Opus 4.5 was another step change for me. Everything feels like it's accelerating…

    I was able to repro one issue that could have been contributing to your broken experience - there's a slight delay between, for example, clicking text in a heading and having the "…

    Thanks for trying it out! would you mind giving some steps that allow me to repro the issue? It's early days so i'm sure there are some rough edges, hopefully I can fix them quickl…

    Thanks for the heads up - I pushed up a fix to the hightlighting issue. I originally went with Milkdown (Prosemirror-based) for Atomic, the knowledge base project that I built Atom…

    The weepiness and persecution complex is overwhelming.

    Could you expand on the "substantial ops burden"? Let's say you're using a managed Postgres instance as the underlying data store, how substantial is the ops burden in that case? I…

    Looks like this comment is touching a nerve. This community is progressing from "AI can't write code", to "Well, AI can write code but it's not really about the code". I wonder whe…

    Tauri is great! this is my first Rust-based project and it took some real getting used to. But i love that Tauri does not ship with an entire chromium browser, and i love its focus…

    nice username :) fair point, the app makes requests to load fonts. we'll fix that next release.

    Local first means running Atomic with local models is not an afterthought. It’s a first class citizen that works just as seamlessly as running with a cloud provider - assuming you’…

    This is .. honestly a great synopsis of Atomic and its design tradeoffs. Thanks! Giving commonplace a look.

    I'm not sure I understand the question. Regardless of what provider you choose - be it cloud based or local - you have to provide setup information such as host, authentication, et…

    Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I admit copywriting is not my forte. i'm a solo dev, I'm focusing most of the time and energy on the product itself. There are always 100 things I co…
