They're not going to struggle at all with things a 4-9 year old is learning

Children ask some incredibly deep questions, I would not sell them short.

The MacMediaKeyForwarder works like a charm:

LLMs are great at knowledge transfer, the real question is how well can they demonstrate intelligence with "unknown unknown" types of questions. This model has the benefit of being released after that issue became public knowledge, so it's hard to know how it would've performed pre-hoc.

That is indeed the current workaround, but IMO still unwieldy and inefficient. I find that the hotkeys alone allow you to fly around the comments and scan them way faster.

Appreciate the feedback! Agreed that on HN, even collapsing at L2 would be a significant improvement.

I'll keep brainstorming with the UX for the next version. I appreciate your perspective on how all the data disclosed on first load might be disorienting with unclear relationships. I'll play with either some sort of animation cue, colored or bordered visual indicators, or a default null selection as you've suggested.

I got tired of the lack of ergonomics around HN comments, and built my own navigator/viewer.

the "best practice" suggestion would be to do this in a sandboxed container

I've been using bkt (https://github.com/dimo414/bkt) for subprocess caching. It has some nice features, like providing a ttl for cache expiration. In-pipeline memoization looks nice, I'm not sure it supports that

I will never use Gemini for this reason. The enshittification of Search is so treacherously disgraceful and user-hostile, that I have no faith that the same fate won't occur with Gemini as well.

Spot-on article. What's especially aggravating is the "skill-issue" meme that folks retort with when you make mention of this.

Absolutely not. People are not asking for dark patterns to engineer their behavior to maximize retention. This is like locking a kid in a room full of candy, and then blaming them for gorging themselves.

Wonder if they could use Google Takeout [1] to export all their YouTube data, and then try to search through the history data.

do you have a link to the git guide?

The irony of a cookie popup showing up on the author’s blog..

Anyone have a link for this?

I would love an AI-enabled chat bot that transforms text -> diagrams. Diagram creation could still be a lot easier.

For example: "I want to show that the causes of burnout are the following 5 categories: 1) lack of purpose, 2) community breakdown, 3) ... " -> and then that gets turned into a diagram. Then an update like: "make lack of purpose more prominent" and it increases in size.

I would even settle for a transformer that converts natural language to one of the diagram syntax languages in the OP link.

This. It's east to be fooled by the illusion of choice and customization.

Just see what happens to other markets in maturity, e.g. food: https://bigthink.com/technology-innovation/10-companies-own-...

I still see the spirit of what the OP is saying, though. At least the AI will know if I like my Kraft Mac-n-cheese extra-creamy or dry.

I think having a small "Dismiss" link or "X" button could feel a little less coercive. I do appreciate being able to click outside the modal to do this, but it wasn't immediately clear at first.

Excellent! Tight feedback loops are everything. Feel free to take a look at my /milestones page or DM me if you have any questions. I'm always looking for accountability buddies too.

Relatable. Try what I'm doing. Work your way backwards.

Start with the final goal you're seeking (in my case it was a Pay Me checkout button) and then piece the rest of the fluff later.

A lot of the focus product is dealing with emotional barriers and your personal psychology. This shatters all this and paves a new path.

There's something sobering about starting at the end, instead of consistently getting side tracked at the beginning.

I put this up 2 days ago and some stranger has already sent me 12 cents :)

Do you support screen flipping, e.g, when using the iPad as a teleprompter?

hijacking the cultural cache of the phrase "that's so meta" - deviously clever and annoying

I was also interested in this, instead of all the TCP/IP resources mentioned here. You may find the Interconnect section of this book helpful: https://pragprog.com/titles/mnee2/release-it-second-edition/

It covers:

- DNS

- Load Balancing

- Demand Control

- Network Routing

- Discovering Services

- Migratory Virtual IP Addresses

Your link wasn't working for me, here's a different one: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3415014

I think the answer is because it's called "business" - if you're not busy it's "bad for the economy"

I'm really enjoying working with MDX (JSX & markdown hybrid). https://mdxjs.com/

I was able to quickly put together a blog with some pretty nice features (e.g. margin notes): https://pratik.is/writing/essays/media-as-food

Writing content in markdown while adding interactivity with JSX is pretty nifty.

If you click "Raw" here you can see how the blog post is just markdown with some custom JSX elements littered in, e.g. <WrappedSidenote />: https://github.com/pringshia/pratik.is/blob/master/pages/wri...

I really wish it had Cmd+P support for searching for project files.

I find the project a really cool concept, but am genuinely curious what real value this is adding in it's current incarnation? Navigating the folder structure is kinda nice, but I don't see much else.

Am I missing something obvious?

If 90% in the US are "upper caste", their lived reality isn't really "upper caste"... by virtue of being part of the 90%.

Zuckerberg also has connections via Sheryl and her extensive repertoire. I doubt it's just him running the ship, he's mostly there for the hacker-kid personality cult.
