Interesting. I had heard that chess players burn a crazy amount of calories during tournament matches, but when I looked it up just now it seems like that isn't true: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2025/06/30/its-sapols...
I appreciate the sentiment but can't quite tell who the author is targeting. Is it people who don't even know what HTML is, or those who are technical enough to have considered tradeoffs between web hosting options?
For complete beginners, I made https://weejur.com , which is designed to make it easy for even a complete beginner to paste in HTML and get it hosted on GitHub Pages for free. (And is also hosted itself on GitHub for free!)
I'm very eager for subvocalization tech to take off - this, AlterEgo, etc.
I have never liked talking aloud to Siri or similar, but I could see using "voice" as an interface for so much more if I could speak silently to my device.
Haha, I guess having a troll posting nonstop racial slurs is just part of that old web feel...
I think it implies they are more likely to hallucinate if they don't know the answer. So a big model will return the correct answer more often than a small one, but in the cases where it doesn't, it will be more likely to make something up instead of saying "I don't know".
This will be even more interesting when AR glasses finally go mainstream in a few years, further increasing this effect.
IMO people in this thread have missed the point. I, too have moved about every two years as an adult (even though I've never had mold problems). Or when I haven't moved, I've made a job change.
Perhaps there is something in my nature that gets complacent after a couple of years and looks to make a change. It seems like that's what the author was trying to grasp towards.
I expect this tendency might go away as I get older, have a family, etc.
I feel like Arc nailed this perfectly with the vertical tabs and multiple "spaces", and since almost everything happens in-browser these days, this was 99% good enough. I can't understand why more power users don't find this setup ideal. I'm hoping Zen Browser can become a solid replacement.
They make custom chips with a model's weights and parameters "hard-coded" which allows for much, much faster inference.
Human-slop is a new one for me. How would you define it? Low quality work written by a human? Human writing that sounds like an LLM? Something else?
Love chatting with an agent via iMessage for the right use case - it feels very natural and human. I hacked my own together with an old laptop and BlueBubbles.
How would you compare your offering with Spectrum (https://photon.codes/)?
I've been using DeepSeek Flash to replace Sonnet once the subscription stopped working. Haven't really noticed a difference, although I don't usually have it doing anything very complicated.
Do you have an example of a 4th grade problem in mind that isn't "American-style"?
Yep, clearly written by AI. Seems like an SEO-type play where they just have AI do deep research and write these reports on as many categories as possible to get traction.
Pretty smart business idea as I imagine people love ragebait about why products aren't as good as they used to be.
I'm trying to make it easier for non-technical folks to publish websites: https://weejur.com
82 sites published so far, with a really weird and wide range of content.
Working on a simple WYSIWYG website editor to go with the current functionality.
I admittedly didn’t take the time to read all 10,000 words of him shouting into the void in detail. But the capex complaints seem trivially misguided?
Current revenue is being generated from capex investments in the past; the most recent capex hasn’t begun to pay off at all. That’s expected.
Now, I don’t know if those investments ever will pay off and there are reasons to be skeptical. But if you assume the capex doesn’t lead to any revenue, then you’re just assuming the conclusion that the investments are bad…
“I’m ending this with a rant” made me laugh. What was the rest, then?
Still missing 49 - humans are safe, for now!

I'm surprised people have been getting it to reliably guess names. I have a really hard time getting it to give a specific name (perhaps for privacy reasons?) - maybe I'm not prompting effectively.
Interestingly, it is able to reliably determine my age from my writing. I suppose this is a mix of stylometry and references in the text itself that date the author (me).
Basically as you see on the website - “Connect to GitHub and publish”, “GitHub Pages is a free service to host websites”, etc.
I do think the target user for this would probably have needed to heard of GitHub to really “get it” - but maybe they just know it’s something developers use, and not any more than that.
Sweet, didn’t know about this - yes, this is very similar.
Sure, Lovable/v0 free tier is a good option, although I’m not sure how many non-tech people use them for things like personal sites or to quickly publish something they want to share. It feels like they’re going more after “builders”, and regular folks would be more using ChatGPT free tier, etc.
Mainly it’s always bothered me that Squarespace etc can charge so much for simple static sites. I just don’t think most people realize you can host websites for free if you don’t need a database.

There's an "export to Canva" button in Claude Design, so perhaps they're hoping this will be another entry point for new users, or that they'll be able to "lock in" as the default design software for Claude users.
It's not "sci fi" but you should read Borges' short stories, particularly from Ficciones.
You may have already read his story The Library of Babel: https://sites.evergreen.edu/politicalshakespeares/wp-content...
Remember, if you use Google to access any of this “private” information, you’re a hacker and the state of Missouri might try to arrest you!

The "build step" with Hugo/Astro might be slightly simpler. But as mentioned in the post, I find it surprisingly nice not to have to write strict Markdown. It turns out (at least for me) that formatting with Markdown still feels akin to creating a finished product. It's nice to just be able to type something out without thinking too much and have the LLM "get what you mean".
Yes, I find LLMs are great for taking loosely-structured text and turning them into formatted blog posts. https://notes.npilk.com/chatgpt-is-my-ssg
