Disappointed that it wasn't returning a list of paragraphs from eBooks that semantically match; search only appears to list the publications - not the actual match within the document.

Living in bizarro world of AI. Install open source project, fails, feed into OpenCode w/DeepSeekFlash 4 -> feed error into it get fixed.

The kill_port function only catches ImportError from the psutil block, so when psutil is installed but raises AccessDenied (common on macOS), it crashes instead of falling back to lsof.

In platform_paths.py - add two lines after line 250:

except psutil.Error: pass

Fixed. Now when psutil raises AccessDenied (as happens on macOS without elevated privileges), it falls through to the lsof/fuser fallback instead of crashing. Try docubrowser start again.

I think it's all about keeping state in the determinant space. I've come across the same issue, the key was to not rely on LLM performing workflow - the runtime needs to enforce.

Nice ;-)

Amazing work! Thanks very much for this OP!

This is great stuff! As a side note, I wonder if anyone has created a HAM viewer that runs in the browser? I remember HAM flickering by necessity and being amazed by 4096 colors on-screen at once. There was a certain quality of HAM images on the Amiga that made them instantly identifiable.

OMG. Thanks so much for posting this - completely awesome! Such a nostalgic roller coaster ride, from Qmodem to Xcopy and everything in between... brought back so many memories... - thanks again!

I’m not making a claim about whether any particular idea is good or bad.

I’m pointing out that the process by which ideas gain acceptance is somewhat independent from their actual quality, so acceptance alone isn’t a strong signal.

I might not have been clear. I’m separating two questions: (1) whether an idea is actually good or true, and (2) how easily it gains acceptance. My point is just that (2) doesn’t reliably answer (1).

I think we’re still talking past each other. I’m not arguing that any specific idea is good.

My point is just that public acceptance itself isn’t reliable evidence either way: ideas can gain support (or fail) for reasons other than their actual merit.

Having worked in public advocacy advertising, I’d frame it like this: “Good ideas don’t need lies” is a compelling ideal but in practice, public acceptance isn’t a reliable signal of truth or societal benefit. It depends on incentives, narratives, and how information is presented.

History shows that even harmful or suboptimal ideas (like coal power) can gain widespread support if presented persuasively, while genuinely beneficial ideas can struggle if they’re complex or unintuitive.

A useful heuristic is: if an idea relies on misleading claims to survive scrutiny, that’s a warning sign. But public acceptance itself is not proof of goodness or correctness.

In short: persuasion and truth are related—but far from identical.

Thanks for the link to the Parable of the Polygons - her work is amazing.

You might be right about the mindset, I have no idea about the demographic that plays the game; only that they seem to be repulsed by BuyMeACoffee. The heavy users (i.e. more than 12 hours on site within last month) - once they see that banner for the first time for a return session instantly stop playing. It's not long enough yet to see if they return. Maybe it's the equivalent to putting a "Remember to buy your mom a gift on her birthday" pop-up on a porn site ;-) It's a mojo killer for sure.

If anyone wants to chime in with other theories etc., very interested in the what others think?

The tumbleweed tells me I probably need to have a long think about Balatro before making the next version ;-)

I'm humbled. Thank you!

Thank you, I'm seeing that awareness is key.

Let me tell you, I've seen more than my fair share of surgery videos involving "de-sheathing" in my research: I don't envy your editing work - but I envy your stomach ;-) But thanks for your reply, the community here can be great at times!

Thanks for your thoughtful comment! You're right - Biodesign can be used in Plaque Incision and Grafting (PIG) for Peyronies. Unfortunately PIG IMHO has (in some studies I have read) a 50/50 chance of erectile dysfunction, nerve injury, instability and so on. In essence, PIG might be rolling the dice to make a bad situation completely untenable. But again, I do thank you for your comment!

I have sent you an email - any help you can provide in this area.

A cure for Peronies which is non invasive, works on chronic/non-chronics is worth countless billions.

I have not recovered, I took the opposite path to you - when "standard care" wasn't an option - I gave up. But your post has motivated me, and shown me a roadmap of what is possible. Eternally grateful.

p.s. "I'll talk to anyone, I'll go anywhere, and I can be there anytime" - for me, unfortunately $ is the problem for going anywhere, anytime. Perhaps you can help? I've sent you an email - I'm motivated. ;-)

Thanks for the inspiration! Is there anything new you've learned about fibrosis in your journey?

@ aol... so retro ;-) - sent you an email.

I had to google your condition to empathize, but wow - terrible. I'm truly happy for you that you could solve it! Thanks for your best wishes!

I live in the EU at present, I haven't heard of Dr C. I've seen a little Doctor Worship on Reddit, but no doctor who can deal with Chronic conditions. In the NL the only option was Tunica albuginea plication (TAP) which results in a loss of length. I've read that PIG in 44% of cases fixes this, however... ugh... surgery. From the bottom of my heart I wish you success in this, and I'd love to stay in contact and hear of your recovery - but how on HN?

You are right on the mark. What triggered me was the slide in Sid's presentation: "Assessing Fibroblast Content of Tumor". Peyronie's is all about Fibroblasts. I actually typed my reply quite a few times, deleting mention of Peyronies and retyping it. It's a shameful condition for me, and I realize that I have to get over this. Peyronie's affects 1% to 20% of men, primarily because it's (if you're anything like me) - is impossible to talk about.

Again, you're completely right. Talking about the disease is the first step.

Thanks for your comment. I'm aware of Xiaflex, and it's been clinically proven to work against early-stage Peyronies. When the disease has reached the chronic phase (and calcified) - Xiaflex hasn't been clinically proven. Xiaflex is now on-label for treating Peyronies.

My mistake wasn't acting earlier, because I had no idea what was happening. But thank you again for your comment. Thank you!

This is the most supremely motivating post I've seen in a long time. I know what it is to be diagnosed with cancer, being rushed to surgery - it's amazing how quickly the medical-industrial complex can move once you've got a diagnosis (at least in Australia). I had a short period of contemplating terminally, because cancer claimed the life of most of my family. Thankfully, after surgery it was gone.

To see Sid use his motivation and resources to solve his own problem is the core message (IMHO) of the hacker community.

It makes me look at my own problem (Peyronies) in a different light; a disease which has affected my life in ways which cannot be overstated. Yet, all the money in the world right now can't fix Peyronies - yet in reading his journey my mind has been changed about this.

His slide title: "I'll talk to anyone, I'll go anywhere, and I can be there anytime" is certainly the mindset!

Thanks for posting this - I'm inspired to take similar action for Peyronie's. Anything is possible.
