Are any of these open source? I've gone down the go/htmx/pg path lightly a few times and I haven't loved the feel of it, but maybe I'm doing it wrong. I think just server side temp…

Weird comments on this. I found the writing to be excellent. The animations are a bit small and associated text even smaller on mobile but this doesn't read as AI slop to me at all…

Did you write the blog post entirely on your own? It reads like AI slop to me but maybe I'm just getting more sensitive. I can't decide whether we are all starting to mimic the sam…

I think phone manufacturers will figure it out once it is a requirement. Was switching everyone to USB-C annoying for Apple? Sure. Are we in a better place because the EU forced it…

One is made for humans to consume, the other for a compiler or interpreter. Good code is supposed to look like other code and follow common patterns. The best writing is original a…

> This isn’t a minor detail, it’s the core constraint that shaped virtually every habit and institution in our industry. I am so so tired of this turn of phrase in LLM created cont…

Try training a model on piper, you will need to record a lot of utterances but the results are pretty great and the output is a fast TTS model.

I will confess that I have not had time to play with those. Will give them a try, thanks for the recommendation.

I've been struggling on finding a reasonably priced model to use with my toy openclaw instance. Opus 4.6 felt kinda magical but that's just too expensive and I'm not risking my max…

Maybe that's a good thing? I miss the Seattle of the 2000s that was less overflowing with tech and more a mix of incomes. I for one support the tax. The dichotomy of being a libera…

Ya, this reads verbatim on how my OpenClaw bot blogs.

This made me laugh only because I imagine there could possibly be some truth to it. This is the world we are in. Maybe they all loaded codex to fix their deploy? ;)

This photo did not scream AI to me but I'm not deep into internet trolling culture. I would love to be able to take photos that our government posts at face value. I find any defen…

Yes, it was good this was caught and reported on. But this will become normalized and we seem to be sprinting full speed towards not being able to know what to believe. That the St…

Pretty sure the right move as soon as he said "I didn't write that" was to just say. "It isn't important who wrote it, we all make mistakes, let's see together how we could have do…

Congrats on the launch! Do you expect / want this to be a business? This feels like the kind of thing where anybody big enough to pay for it will build it in house. And your pricin…

Love this benchmark, always the first place I look. Also seems like it is time to move the goalposts, not sure we are getting enough resolution between models anymore. Out of curio…

I once was chatting with an author of books (very much an amateur) and he said he enjoyed writing because he liked discovering where the story goes. IE, he starts and builds charac…

Stripe supported Bitcoin for a while as a payment method.. so.. I actually view that as a plus though, they have experience and have seen what works and what doesn't.

I've contributed a few trivial fixes to OrganicMaps and I found them to be pretty responsive and reasonable in their opinions. That doesn't mean I agreed with all the decisions or …

It was really bad at first for this type of thing. I just tried a few of them because I too had given up on them and they seem to work perfectly now. It even cancelled the alarm I …

See Maniac on Netflix. They call them "AdBuddies" and they are people reading you ads in exchange for payment.

I understand the idea here of course. I have been posting and commenting on HN for the better part of two decades. I don't want to see HN descend into a complete chaos of political…
