I love this so much. Did you ever take it further? Did you find anything close to ARexx?

Love it! Any chance you'd be willing to share what you've got on GH? Also, I wonder if anyone has tried creating an Amiga OS style Linux distro? Sounds like your work could be the …

Almost. I'm technically in the first year of Gen X ('65). I knew a some guys a few years older right into the hobbyist computing scene in the early '80s. I lost touch by the time t…

The first paragraph of the article and the contradiction in his own claims are apparent. He makes a claim for universal abundance so great that money becomes meaningless. Yet that …

I’m sure that to the younger members here, you may be rolling your eyes at yet another “halcyon days of computing” post which will inevitably draw the rose-tinted comments from the…

Perhaps the options vary by region?

Do I, as a paying user, own the output the LLM has produced or am I merely licensing the output? Most paying users assume ownership, in which case I’ll do with that output what I w…

Replace the word passkey with password in your comment. What’s the benefit of passkeys again? If you’re not storing the actual private key in the Secure Enclave but only the “acces…

I was referring to shirts specifically. If you put any kind of cotton shirt in a dryer it’s almost certainly going to need ironing. Waiting for a shirt to dry naturally shouldn’t b…

Ha! You remind me of something I used to tell my colleagues back when I held a regular job. They would compliment me on my highly patterned shirts (eg. A very small floral pattern …

Off topic, but comment threads like this, where the early comments rabbit hole into something I didn’t come to read, really make me wish HN had collapsible comment controls. My pho…

It’s as solved as FSD.

I didn’t even notice it util someone above you called it out. I’ve tried to reproduce it and can’t. Don’t even know how to get an em-dash on an iOS keyboard. EDIT: a long press on …

Strange. I’d guess that it’s an iOS autocorrect thing as that’s what I was using when I posted that. But I’m trying to reproduce it and can’t.

Good advice though too much “I” can sound a little self-centred to my ears. If/when AGI arrives I assume this tactic will stop working.
