I think there's a lot of good advice in these comments already, at least for individuals to think about for themselves. I happen to have discovered a fantastic contra dancing commu…

I feel the author loses points (persuasiveness? respect? integrity? I can't think of the word) by not acknowledging what they think accurately happened. What's the word alternative…

Cool, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation

Neat idea. Would you say that biggest difference from something like Kysely is the focus on extracting common calculated SELECT targets into methods that can easily be accessed whe…

That's a cool idea. Seems like there would be a ton of things contained in an individual's worldview, that it'd be hard to build all of it up. Perhaps when you encounter something …

Working on a webapp for critically think with others about a problem. The idea is that you build a diagram that contains all the details about the problem and people's thoughts on …

I'm a big fan of modeling causal structures like this - I think having a diagram is a really good way of getting on the same page and making conversations more constructively focus…

I think the structure inherently enables each node to be a claim (like "this thing exists"), but that there's value in making a node even if that node's claim is not particularly d…

> I want all teams to squash merge their feature into master after tests pass. One commit at the end, and one commit to remove in case of an issue affecting customers related to th…

I agree that wealth is not the same as class, but just as a counter anecdote, my dad is a (small business) plumber and I never felt like we were treated less than any other middle …

I'm building an app[1] (repo[2]) that helps you visualize perspectives and details about complex problems so that it's easier to figure what to do about them. Right now it's basica…

> Destruction is a terrible yet inevitable end that should only be induced to protect the weak and ameliorate suffering, so be just and resolute when you seek it. I think an issue …

A webapp to improve how we discuss, model, and understand problems https://ameliorate.app/ (repo: https://github.com/amelioro/ameliorate ). The core idea is to ground discussion in…

If I'm reading correctly, they used $1000 running a Llama model, not DistilBERT.

Hi HN, two years ago I quit my job to work full-time on https://ameliorate.app (repo: https://github.com/amelioro/ameliorate ) because I think that today's tooling for discussing a…

Cool idea. FYI the GitHub link at the bottom leads to "page not found". Maybe the repo is not public?

That's awesome to hear :). I also appreciate knowing that I'm not the only one thinking about it.

I've landed at AnswerOverflow from Google before. It's a bot you can add to your server so that your server's threads get indexed. I haven't added it to a server myself but it seem…

I think if we could improve our ability to easily & precisely communicate arguments, that would be huge for humanity's ability to deal with problems. I'm building a tool[1] that I'…

Slightly annoying: on mobile, the navbar displays partially in front of the content "Overall Progress". I tried scrolling up to see the content better and since that's top of the p…

Playwright does have some docs on scraping, which makes it seem like they do want to support that as a use case https://playwright.dev/docs/docker#crawling-and-scraping . I'm unfam…

Does it say that the submission was sent back? For the "suspicious" people, this seems to imply the code was final: > It is significant that [people] were all surprised and suspici…

I really like the idea of comparing languages in a real-ish scenario of development, written by independent expert-in-language developers! As a web dev, I'm particularly interested…

I'm in Illinois, my bronze marketplace plan was $247/mo this year, and the coverage was good (for what I used at least). 2025 plans look to be going up $50/mo or so which is annoyi…

I'm a big fan of the decision matrix, where you boil down a decision into options and criteria, then can score how important each criterion is and how well each option fulfills the…
