Love these and the nice!view, used them in every keyboard I built!

Hi HN, I'm Yousef. I've built a lot of agents for vertical AI startups in the past few years, and I've become convinced that prompts are code, so must be kept in git . The startups…

The way you nonchalantly mentioned your dad died last week caught me off guard -- my condolences!

AI is not great at browser use at the moment and it's also quite inelegant to force it to. It's one thing if it reads your nicely marked down blog, it's another for it to do my gro…

Yes, when I said Betamax I was actually referring to Swagger/OpenAPI. It's been around for a while but it didn't catch on the way MCP did. What I'm saying is that the AI hype is ma…

I suspect people will get pretty riled up in the comments. This is fine folks. More people will make their stuff machine-accessible and that's a good thing even if MCP won't last o…

I came to a similar realisation about world news a few years ago and live a much less stressful life now. Especially since most of the news was about the US, and I don't even live …

I currently use Hapi ( https://github.com/tiann/hapi/ ) for this and find it quite handy. I can easily tap into a session on my PC from my phone. Before that I used Happy ( https:/…

What.cd were extreme sticklers for quality! When you applied to get in, they did a live interview on IRC to test your knowledge of ripping, transcoding, and different kinds of comp…

Does this background process have any neurological backing (literally a part of your brain) or is it more of a mental mode?

FYI: octopi is not the correct plural for octopus.

I was not aware of this, but this actually supports my point, since the reasons in that study seem to be correlated physical comorbidities, so that makes the claim "autism increase…

The author may like https://omnara.com/ (no affiliation) instead of SSH-ing from their phone. I have a similar setup with Obsidian and a permanently-on headless Claude Code for my …

I haven't dug into all the sources, but I think there's a potential confounder here, or maybe even reverse causality. The author seems to assume causation when the studies only ind…

The APIs thing: it's not just Chrome, but Chromium too. I first noticed this when trying to replicate some of the screen sharing UI (buttons to share different things) from Google …

Not sure how to DM on here, but I just checked your landing and wanted to ask in what ways you're better than clerk.dev?

This is an excellent point. We launched on PH and reached #1 of the day and #1 of the week. We barely got any new customers, but we did get a lot of inbound investor interest. I'd …

> different countries manage their public services and institutions. This is the injustice. The decisions made by these institutions are not just. Sometimes they're business decisi…

For half my life I had an Egyptian passport, and for the other a German passport. Having experienced both sides, that bit of paper is without a doubt the most valuable thing I own.…

Yes

I had no hope during mine and completely changed research area in my final year. All my publications became irrelevant and I did a complete rewrite of my already mostly written the…

I use one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07YF95RNR , some bluetooth peripherals, and a little phone tripod. I have it set so that when a monitor is plugged in, DeX starts au…

My daily driver is Android + Samsung DeX, and I've tried doing this a couple different ways. In the end, the only thing that didn't make me pull me hair out in the long run was pro…

Yup. And I'm my area, you'd have wanted to keep the dust out too. At certain times of the year when it was windy and the power went out and the ceiling fans went with it, you'd hav…

I don't get it. Why can't bullying exist in the group homeschool at church? It's functionally equivalent to a school. Are you making a brand new point about traditional homeschooli…
