Read the first paragraph could tell it was AI written. Maybe if it was hand edited to be less AI I would have read more but it looked like the laziest Claude prose.

That'll be a no from me dawg.

I agree on the point of linking it, which the HN thread linked before supposedly had a link to the blog post in question but it did not have any content. So thanks for sharing nonetheless.

I've done similar, even to the point of a discord gateway integration that is very similar to the one Hermes ships with.

I still use Hermes because it's not a problem I care about solving right now and am spending my time and tokens on more important problems. I don't plan to always use it, and if anything it gives me ideas for what the ideal shape of what I want would be.

Also to add, having a unified space to chat with an agent that has a local system it can work with is quite liberating because I use it to drive my agent orchestration system. So I'm no longer bound to my computer or any one providers harness and whatever mobile solution they provide if any. It's been quite freeing and I don't use Hermes that differently than I would chatgpt, except it know exactly how I like to do my work and that means I have to remind it less.

Did you read it? Given it's all AI slop I wouldn't be surprised if not, but the claim is basically "I had this idea first, I think they stole it from me."

Not that they stole code or even copy, just the idea from a completely open source project (at the time).

Given how many people have posted and released similar systems over the time skills came out and even before, that's a huge claim with no substance to back it.

Those Python issues are things I had to deal with earlier last year with Claude Sonnet 3.7, 4.0, and to a lesser extent Opus 4.0 when it was available in Claude Code.

In the Python projects I've been using Opus 4.5 with, it hasn't been showing those issues as often, but then again the projects are throwaway and I cared more about the output than the code itself.

The nice thing about these agentic tools is that if you setup feedback loops for them, they tend to fix issues that are brought up. So much of what you bring up can be caught by linting.

The biggest unlock for me with these tools is not letting the context get bloated, not using compaction, and focusing on small chunks of work and clearing the context before working on something else.

This isn't mine, I found it posted on a gaming forum and thought it would be interesting to others here.

Having read the post, I feel the title here doesn't do it justice. It is also missing half of the title.

Title on HN at time of comment: "Silicon Valley Could Learn a Lot from Skater Culture"

As far as the article, I wasn't aware of the schism in the 80s around skateboarding culture. I was too young, but even looking back through documentaries and other media about the history, it seems to have been revised to ignore it.

I think the article is overall positive, in that there are things to learn so long as we don't ignore the context and the bad side of what has happened in the past.

In the case of the JS solution, it runs horribly and is highly inefficient.[0]

For non-hot code, it is perfectly fine, but in this case, inside of a main loop like this it is a waste of cpu cyles. Compare the amount of forests here:

   $ node orig-magicForest.js 117 155 106
   total forests: 1522899
   { goats: 0, wolves: 0, lions: 223 }
   total time: 816ms

   $ node new-magicForest.js 117 155 106
   total forests: 428
   { goats: 0, wolves: 0, lions: 223 }
   total time: 6ms

The code is very inefficient to say the least.

I made some modifications (diverging further from the "functional" nature, if you could call it that) and as you can see it is much faster[0].

Output:

  $ node new-magicForest.js 2017 2055 2006
  total forests: 6128
  { goats: 0, wolves: 0, lions: 4023 }
  total time: 20ms

I think there is a disconnect between what an artist might expect to receive and what a listener would actually pay.

Even before streaming radio became the standard way of listening to music, people didn't pay every time they played a song. They paid for the rights to listen to it as much as they wanted, but they only paid that once.

Now that we have streaming, consumption is different, and artists actually get paid per listen. They can't expect to get the same amount per listen that they got per song on a CD years ago.

You really shouldn't get into music for the money, because there isn't money anymore. The fact that there was money ever was a blip on the radar due to new technology allowing an industry to explode. Technology continued on though, and made the scarcity of music artificial.

This blog post is way off. The issue isn't that Google Maps couldn't find Sambisa Forest, it is that it has an issue with how it handles auto complete and pressing enter without selecting the choices it brings up. It quite frankly looks like a bug. You can see for yourself here: http://i.imgur.com/vX1xqp2.gif

What if they already get a placement fee? That would mean they make money on the front and backend, which if they dropped their tuition fees, would drop their income.

That centralized party is a weak link, and in the case of SR, compromised all BC wallet ids that were used as well as the bitcoins stored.

I see there is no information about cost. Are there any plans to charge, and if so what would you charge?

Maybe a $25-$35 year plan would make sense depending on how often the wakeup calls are needed.

This is essentially how I have been writing JavaScript and Node.js code for some time. I actually flatten the code even more, like in these examples[0].

For some people, callbacks take more cognition than other solutions, but for someone who has been using callbacks through and through, this is a natural progression and makes sense. It is more straightforward and you don't have to understand further abstractions like in a compile to JS language or with promises.

Maybe due to that flexibility, it becomes the language they want. Where as other languages don't offer what they need/want.

Many people look at JavaScript's flexibility as a bad trait, but to skilled programmers, it becomes a great tool.

Is JavaScript so bad that someone shouldn't create a platform that uses it? Just because someone makes an alternative to JavaScript doesn't mean everyone is moving away from it.

JavaScript isn't the new JVM, it is more likely that V8 fills that role. Node.js which is built on top of V8 and uses JavaScript has robust support for multiple platforms and a robust module system built in. It makes sense to use it as a foundation for a device programming platform.

I think the original title of the blog post is a better description since the one submitted makes it look like a tutorial.

This is not a tutorial, but an editorial on why the author thinks Node.js has succeeded in newbie traction where as YUI and Ember have had trouble. Built modules that new users can get started with instead of documentation and examples that require more understanding to get started making something.

You can add alternate domains to Google Apps accounts which can work just as the main domain. So you don't have to migrate anything, it is the same account just acknowledges and accepts the alternate domain.

You do realized that bootstrapping requires not taking funding, which Teespring has taken plenty so far. Not to discredit their success, just clarifying.

You have ones listed that aren't available in the example picker. Do you still support the other languages by manually uploading? Any specifics we should know about.

I am interested in using Javascript fyi.

I would love it if instead of having the image move to the center if it is on the outside, instead have the image appear around the thumbnail right where it is like the ones in the center. That would make it win completely. Otherwise it is very nice and simple in a good way.

BlindType was purchased by Google and as far as I can tell implemented into the stock keyboard as you can touch type without looking and it will successfully correct the words.

Thanks, fixed.

I want it as well, at the moment you can hook up to Github and publish your commits and repos on Geeklist. Soon you will be able to directly log in with it as well.

We have been pushing new features almost daily for the last few weeks so it is coming up very soon.

Disclaimer I work for Geekli.st.

If you would like to join the beta, you can do so with this invite link: http://geekli.st/chapel/invite/80F1354E49

It will work if you are waiting for beta also.

I work for Geekli.st and was honestly surprised to see some of the achievements Andy Grignon was apart of. I honestly feel that is is people like him, not well known, but an important part of creating some of the things we love and use every day. Everyone hears about the big names, but it are the people you don't hear about that make stuff happen.

I also have some invites if anyone is wanting to get into the beta. It will work even if you have signed up and are waiting for beta.

I am not sure what you are trying to say. There is no requirement for you to sign up for a Google+ account, or a Google account whatsoever.

A lot of people post very informative and provocative things on Google+, it is a shame that people would shun them just because it is on Google+.

I think this is a suitable explanation for this 'article'.

From the authors profile page:

"Farhad Manjoo is Slate's technology columnist and the author of True Enough: Learning To Live in a Post-Fact Society."

Edit: I really feel that any person saying X is unbeatable, is really underestimating competition and the drive to improve what they make.

The iPad at this moment is the best tablet overall, but it won't be long before someone is able to match the quality, and surpass in features. I think what really will clinch this is that once Android tablets come out in force, there will be so many options the iPad will be lost in the noise. This isn't to say the iPad will be the only right choice in that situation, just that when there are options, especially cheaper options, people tend to shop for what suits their needs at a price they can stomach.

The iPad is still too much for most consumers. I myself cannot justify the cost for a consumption device, not to mention how I dislike Apple's handling of their app ecosystem.

Why I agree it is harder to swallow, it is most likely what they intended. This was purely an emotional play, they did this to try and pull some heart strings in an unconventional way. The setting is really just a backdrop.

If they make a game out of it, I would almost assure you that the latter is what was intended, and sadly the story will go through the rabbit hole because of it.
