“Why does the bird sing?” said the Master.

Not because he has a statement, but because he has a song.

Would love to learn more about Lodestar

Thanks for sharing the link. It was as scientific as philosophical.

This is quite comprehensive. I wonder if GPT-5/AI Tools handle the guidances given separately (in a separate context) or is it processed as regular text and is lost when data exceeds it's context window.

Seems like posted 6 days back as well - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44754457.

I don't see any font images itself in the repo but some glyph files which seem to be defining the fonts- https://github.com/googlefonts/googlesans-code/blob/main/sou... . Any one has more references to how this works? How can you define a font with code - do you give which pixel would be filled in a box or something else. And this has tests as well.

Fonts-As-Code !!

Liked the idea. Few suggestions:

1. Would be great to have some facility to save the links across browsers/devices so that this is not lost on reinstalling browser or switching device. May be by upload to user's own Google Drive or iCloud account - so that doesn't cost you storage cost.

2. Right now, I see it's working only for the homepage links, and not for other discovery pages such as https://news.ycombinator.com/newest or https://news.ycombinator.com/ask or even https://news.ycombinator.com/front. You can find the official lists here : https://news.ycombinator.com/lists . Would be great to support these.

3. Would be good to have the source code available - to give more confidence on the plugin as well as others can improve on it.

4. Checkbox at the start is distracting - can it be put at the end of item line or having option to customize would be good.

More power to hacker news developers.

Well :) - was looking for something more automated and on schedule. Not subjected to human forgetfulness !!.

I was randomly going over my past HN activity and bumped over this gem from here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38624968 and posted :)

Any such app/util for iPhone / Android?

Yes, I want to have something similar for non screen time as well. To start off, having something similar for mobile device would be good - I have not been able to find any app which can go full screen and block the screen for 15 sec, after each 10 mins or so on mobile.

These are some of the courses I have liked and learnt well from:

Python Programming Language - https://learning.oreilly.com/course/python-programming-langu...

Effective Python - https://learning.oreilly.com/course/effective-python/9780134...

Designing Data Structures in Python - https://learning.oreilly.com/course/designing-data-structure...

Guy was super persistent in what he wanted to accomplish !!

I have found blogposts by Toni Pasanen to be quite good in explaining networking requirements of the AI Infra. Ex. https://nwktimes.blogspot.com/2025/04/ai-fabric-backend-netw... There are more posts on the same blog.

Articles by Sharada Yeluri on APNIC blog are also good: ex. https://blog.apnic.net/2025/06/03/scale-up-fabrics/

Something which would help me be "aware" in real life of finite ness of life. Like the computer break utils (TimeOut on Mac/ Stretchly etc) which can help disconnect from the screen in front of you, even for a bit of time, and force you outside of whatever you are currently engaged on in the screen.

Anyone knows if there are examples of such states, which were discovered in very specific conditions in lab, to be found outside? Does creation/discovery of such states help in explaining any hitherto unexplainable observations?

What an escape!! "जाको राखे साइयां, मार सके न कोय, बाल न बांका कर सके जो जग बैरी होय"

Beyond the brink is another universe !!

Blame it on outside party.

Quite cool !!

Quite nice and well justified tradeoff.

This does sound quite scary and impact of such a even would cross the impact what COVID-19 had on all of us.

Hits the bulls eyes. That's why it's important to keep your mind always open and question everything. But how much you can question is also limited by cognitive limits we have as humans. SO the only thing you can actually trust is your own direct experience. I have found many books to be useless just because of this reason.

Nice ones !!

Prompt Helper has been pretty helpful for repeated prompts on ChatGPT https://prompt-helper.xyz/

This is a very well written and detailed article on the Art of LLMs. Thanks for writing this.

Ain't it anti-thesis of "get frequent user feedback" in agile terminologies.
