I originally started this so my kids could share simple games they made with AI, and wanted to broaden it to anyone (or anything) making games with AI. I'm exploring how to make so…

Why did people used to make geocities pages back in the day? Kids like to express themselves and being able to make simple games and share them with friends is fun for them. So far…

It's actually helping him learn to read quite a bit - after voice transcription, he reads the post and edits any errors by tapping on the word and changing it. He's been on the cus…

Not sure if you'd consider this a counterpoint or just proving your point, but in the sea of AI slop there's also a real chance for people to create things that they couldn't befor…

My 7-year-old uses Claude on his iPad to make games. He can barely read but uses voice to describe what he wants. He can read enough to make text edits when voice transcription get…

Thanks! The bloat problem is exactly what pushed me toward forgetting-as-a-feature rather than just accumulating everything. Salience is scored on four dimensions when a memory is …

Claude.ai artifacts can call the Anthropic API and have persistent storage (5MB via window.storage). I used these two capabilities to build a memory system modeled on how human mem…

I'm working on a site that basically groups you into a cohort of like-minded Yang supporters and helps you accomplish simple but helpful stuff online. Things like favoriting a twee…

Would it be appropriate to ask our users of our startup to and vote for us on here? If they are invested enough in our service and community to do so, it seems like that would be a…

Agreed, I'm surprised the 4x price increase is not mentioned more often. Personally I can understand moving away from a free offering, especially if they're having trouble with spa…

This is really great! Is it open source? I couldn't see a license or anything in the readme so wasn't sure.

To add more data, I've been successful (generating more than average salary in my area for programmers I think) in creating a small online saas business. I would say it's totally p…

Self Control: http://visitsteve.com/made/selfcontrol I found this on HN a while back, it's like a lightweight RescueTime for blocking news sites etc.

Agreed. I don't want to sound totally callous, but while this is a dramatic and terrible incident in it's own right, her writing style does seem to be magnifying the drama for maxi…

A good article, but personally I'm concerned that your "safe picks" such as government bonds/ sovereign debt might be exactly the kind of black swan Taleb is talking about. He does…

Speaking of currencies, I'm wondering if anyone more intelligent than me knows what to make of this: http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?s[1][id]=BASE To my untrained eyes,…

If you read further down, it seems to show that the banking system as a whole can expand $100 into $1000 with a 10% reserve requirement: "Reserve requirements affect the potential …

Thanks for pointing that out Phil. I'm not a lawyer, but I wouldn't call it illegal outright, as you say it may just require a fair amount of upfront legwork to arrange the structu…

If you take PG's essay one step further, it would seem there might also be a need for micro-investing in the same style that Kiva does micro-loans. Something that lets small fish i…

I've also had problems with paypal, due to the fact I needed three accounts for three separate businesses/ partnerships. Even though I formed separate LLCs, Paypal apparently can o…

Anyone wanna make Settlers Of Catan for the iPad? You could link it so that players view their cards on their iPhones, and the board on the iPad. I bet if you got on the ball and c…
