    Watching some of the Lakers courtside games on the Vision Pro was awesome, and I’m not even a Lakers fan. If they rolled that out more broadly it would be a system seller for sport…

    Not sure why you got downvoted. This works for a lot of people. Doesn’t work for me because I find the video aspect to be awkward, but the concept of ‘body doubling’ as a way of en…

    I’ve read so much on magnesium and believe in the benefits of supplementation, but when I try it (regardless of type) I end up feeling devoid of energy and borderline depressed for…

    Same boat here. I’m able to get a lot done on CC at $100/mo and feel like I’m not being creative or productive enough somehow when I hear of people blowing past that in a day.

    This hits home. I started my career in market research after someone told me that it was the only part of the business world where you’re paid to tell the unvarnished truth, which …

    I bought the DeerRun Q2 last year and like it, although the pad itself is small so it’s only good for somewhat shorter people.

    I love when they use making a restaurant reservation as the example. On a list of things keep me up at night that is somewhere around #6,054, yet apparently for many tech bros that…

    First Wade Boggs and now this. Just awful.

    Fortnite does that as well. Annoying dark pattern.

    I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. These are valid criticisms of platforms like Lovable, Bolt, Replit, etc. that cater to "fast MVP" type customers. I'm not sure how you su…

    Researchers just demonstrated that you can use LLMs to simulate human survey takers with 99% ability to bypass bot detection and a relatively low cost ($0.05/complete). At scale, t…

    All you have to do is look at the minuscule number views on any YouTube video links shared with a new product on PH. I've seen products with upvotes in the hundreds, yet it has sin…

    That assumes Bitcoin maximalists ultimately see it as a means of transaction. The ones I come across in the wild are purely maximalists for speculative purposes and couldn’t care l…

    I was enjoying Base44 but found out midway through a project that it doesn’t support websockets so it wouldn’t work for my needs. Switched back to Lovable and have been happily hac…

    I want to like this and dig into it as someone who has recently used Lovable and Base44 (and been using Bubble for a while), but the YouTube ‘demo’ video is really weak. The pace i…

    I looked into Tether and that was all I needed to see.

    It’s great you’ve been able to maintain a keto diet for over 20 years (longest I’ve ever heard of), but most people can’t do strict keto for that long. Long-term adherence is the i…

    I used to run a usability testing service way back in the day and had the same feelings about Nielsen - way too rigid and pedantic for my tastes and the reality of the tests I was …

    Yeah, that was my first take as well. If you can’t be bothered to spend the time or money to put this on a custom domain, why should I spend my time or money either?
