    No thanks. If I have to listen to Mr. Meeseeks' screechy voice all day, I'd shoot myself.

    I don't know why I didn't of this before. Thanks for the suggestion.

    I tried it with Claude Code for a while but lack of WebSearch tool became a dealbreaker for me. Does anyone know of they will provide support for it?

    They could have saved themselves 3MB by converting it to AVIF.

    For most static UI surfaces, I probably wouldn't use it, but I can see a use case in this for testing generative UI workloads.

    I'm curious what a "stripped down version" of Github can offer in terms of functionality that Github does not? Is it not simpler to have the agents register as Github repos since t…

    The key idea is not running constantly, but being always on, and being able to react to external events, not just your chat input. So you can set a claw up to do something every ti…

    Is AssemblyAI or Deepgram compatible with OpenAI Realtime API, esp. around voice activity detection and turn taking? How do you implement those?

    This reads like a classic case of bureaucratic mission creep. When the budget depends on showing numbers, and the definition of a "threat" is loose enough, the agency naturally evo…

    I'm curious how the unit economics actually play out here compared to traditional search. With Google, the compute cost to serve a query is negligible, so even low-CPM ads are prof…

    This man is a legend. He's been working on making a better marble machine for more than a decade. The only payoff is the satisfaction of listening to the synchronized syncopation o…

    Happy thanksgiving all. In an era where algorithms on other platforms seem optimized for outrage and engagement bait, I'm grateful for HN's optimization for curiosity. It's one of …

    You're right about that, but that wasn't common practice at the time. We learned about side-effects from Elm and Flux.

    > Isn't this just how the DOM works? Data flows down through attributes and properties; events bubble up? That's right, but this communication pattern causes serious complexity. Im…

    > Didn't they call it Flux rather than Flow? Ah, you may be right. It's been a long time.

    > For massive apps with 1,000 components on the same page, maybe React's complexity is justified. But what the other 99% of apps? The number of components is not the only yardstick…

    This should be higher. While the research question is interesting, the sample size makes the conclusion highly suspect. I'd like to see more research on this.

    Thank you for your hard work. I gripe about it sometimes but it’s still the most compelling learning experience I’ve ever come across. I hope it keeps getting better and better.

    Video explainers, for me, are better than the audio overviews.

    I use NotebookLM everyday. The simplicity of the design is much appreciated. However, there are real issues scaling the design and keeping it user friendly as the team keeps adding…

    I'm regretting turning off my Ad Blocker. Do not click on the ads, folks -- especially if you're at work.

    Last time I checked the context window for the embedded Gemini Nano was 1024 tokens. I hope they have reconsidered that limitation.

    I'm excited by this multi-media approach. I've been avid self-learner for years, and I've often found the textbook format too dry, and forbidding, but ever since I started using No…

    Well, at least the growth mindset study is not fully debunked yet. It's basically a modern interpretation of what we've known to be true about self-fulfilling prophecies. If you te…
