There's also a new player called diversion (diversion.dev) which I think may be a YC startup? Anyway it takes a different approach of being more like Google drive but bringing in VCS behavior making it more indie and designer friendly.

Today your statement is a little too ambitious but I agree with the overall point that the inherent effort based moat in SaaS is mostly gone and now it is really about personalizing your own.
The most common counter-argument that I've seen here is " Yes, but no organization wants to manage all of their different operational tools. They would rather just outsource that responsibility to third-party entities".
I'm not sure I fully agree with that counter. Because agents can be viewed as third party entities in some sense. If not today then maybe soon.
The most unintelligible drawing has also the most unintelligible handwriting. It was made by a doctor.
Haha
Oh wow. This seems like it was a lot of work. Bookmarked and installed!
This is just false.
Whoa! you have quite the profile.
I'm not convinced that "actual logic and thought" aren't just about inferring what comes next statistically based on experience.
Oh so it jumping to the top happens to others too?
This is my immediate concern as well. Sam said in an interview that he sees "intelligence" as a utility that companies like OpenAI would own and rent out.
Isn't fact 2 just a now problem though? Will people's latency expectation not change over time, as it gradually goes down?
You're on to something here. Can we go more meta and define these dynamically such that users can customize multiple output streams?
Nice. Just cancelled my openai plus sub.
I put it into AI and TIL about "gotcha arguments" and eristics and went down a rabbit hole. Thanks for this!
Wow. Well said.
You write so well that I'm convinced by your words, even if you are wrong. Do you write professionally?
I do like how in some MacOS examples we see icons for some of the more important or commonly used menu items, but not the others in the same list. The absence of icons has meaning ("it's likely not what you want")

I’ve noticed how fashionable it is in the US in particular, to distrust the government
No that's actually a sign of a third-world country. It's definitely shifting towards that in the US but is not as bad as Pakistan, for example. Yet.
Security almost always brings inconvenience (to everyone involved, including end users). That is part of its cost.
Top post without a single comment and only 29 points. Clearly my mental model of how posts bubble to the top is broken.
Do you think that was a hiring manager specific preference or an overall HR policy thing? Shitty nonetheless.
No desire because you don't need them to optimize anything for yourself, or ?
I think they are referring to public market investors vs private investors. Meaning, their stock valuation.
it's rare to see someone circle back with a retraction, even on HN. Kudos
I don't see his linked comment as blocking progress. Both of those questions are very valid and something I'd expect from a good core maintainer.
Disclaimer: I don't have any additional context.
Sometimes smart sometimes the opposite, though. Perhaps due to memory loss.
Can this additional prompt from you also be automated? I do this too but I forget sometimes. I don't know if a general rule will be enough ?
We just down know from the outside how much revenue they would lose by redirecting that effort though.
Curious why not the MCP? I use that
Fair question but I think the tone of this is a bit abrasive towards the poster, and unnecessarily so.
