I think it depends on the use case. My understanding is the more popular panels for color ereaders releasing now are the E Ink Kaleido (3) due to their faster refresh rates. Other technologies like spectra 6 may be better for digital signage where the slower refresh rate is less of a concern.
That might not be a good bet. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45063380
I suspect you'll have much better luck directly implementing the style you want rather than trying to get a (current gen) AI to reliably generate ANSI art. This video is a nice overview of implementing a variation of the style in a post-processing shader:
FYI, the layout for the navigation component is broken on many smaller screen sizes. It's a small issue that I wouldn't mention normally, but it does undercut your messaging about the "future of software development" and "serious developers" when the first element on the page doesn't render properly.
You could check out FAKE. It’s pretty popular in the F# community. While not C#, the terser syntax may be beneficial for a build DSL and you still have access to .NET APIs.
I came away much less impressed than you did. The "step by step analysis" consists mostly of it considering, ruling out, and reconsidering an obviously invalid move. The code that it "tries to write" first zooms and pans around the image for no reason as it's already identified the layout of the pieces in the initial analysis. It then tries to import a library it has not yet installed in the sandbox (in addition to importing `chess.polyglot` for no discernable reason) before giving up on that thread entirely. It then manages to write a one-liner that contains an IndentationError before spending more time/tokens reestablishing the board layout. It does all of this before finally delegating the question to a search engine.
If you just paste the image into a search engine (without needing to include the text prompt) the first result contains the solution. We live in a world where Sam Altman claims that usage of words like "please" and "thank you" in prompts have cost OpenAI "tens of millions of dollars"[0]. In this case, OpenAI's "most powerful reasoning model"[1] spends 7m 51s churning through expensive output tokens spinning its wheels before ultimately giving up and searching the internet. This strikes me as incredibly wasteful. It feels like the LLM equivalent of "punch[ing] through the table". The most impressive thing to me here is that OpenAI is getting people to pay for all this nonsense.

Somewhat interestingly, "Mario Bros." now refers to the last name of the pair of plumber brothers, making their full names "Mario Mario" and "Luigi Mario" respectively. This wasn't originally the intent of the creators, but it's been slowly retconned over the history of the franchise.

This is a good summary. SolidWorks does have a lower cost license for makers/hobbyists for personal use but it’s a little difficult to find from their main marketing pages.
Polynesian use of outrigger canoes is well documented. Are you claiming all outriggers are catamarans? Why be pedantic about this?
I was curious about your defense of Matt's behavior in this thread but your empathy makes sense given that you work on a similar project that you describe as:
A static site that is 100% free and open-source, competing with several businesses operating scammy subscription models.

Is this a competitor to Wordpress? Can you elaborate more about how the competition in this space uses scammy subscription models? It might help to illustrate the issues in the industry for outsiders like me.
Off topic, but I'm a bit of an amateur musician myself. I try to check out other musicians that I encounter, but I wasn't able to find anything about you or your music online. Do you have a bandcamp or something similar? The contrabass trombone is a really interesting instrument.
Please stop posting low effort LLM summaries of HN text posts. It doesn’t add anything to the discussion and is literally spam.
Odd to see that in a press release like this. Perhaps they were going for “crack team”. Cracked makes it sound like they’re looking for twitch streamers.
This is a recurring theme on the 5-4 podcast. You may want to reference their episode list as a starting point for relevant cases to research.
One team I was on had a bug where the product name was so long that it was being truncated in the about dialog. It was something like:
Microsoft Dynamics® CRM 2011 for Microsoft® Office Outlook® with Offline Access
The idea is that you have a specific entry price in mind and are waiting until it drops to that point. While you wait, you can collect a premium from selling the option. Let's say that based on your assumptions you think stock X would need to drop to $6 for you to make a good enough risk-adjusted return, but it's currently trading at $7. While you're waiting for the price to drop you could sell a Put (generally a cash-secured put) to collect a premium. If the stock price drops below $6 within the duration of your option, you'll get assigned the stock at the price you wanted ($6), but if it stays above this price the option expires worthless and you keep the premium.
There's too much detail to cover in a short comment, but the main risks with a strategy like this is that the price drops well below your strike price and you're forced to buy the stock at higher price than the current market value. For cash-secured puts, you'll also need enough cash in your account to cover the purchase of the stock at your strike price. That said, depending on your mindset and goals, this can be a way to generate income while waiting for the right price.
The opposite side of this also applies for exiting positions. You can sell calls on a stock you own (covered calls) to collect a premium while you wait for the price to reach your chosen strike price. The risk being the potential that the price blows past your strike price, your shares get called away, and you don't get to profit from the extra gains above the strike.
I don't think you should use Apple to put upgrade pricing in perspective. They've used inflated pricing to extract extra money from a captive audience for many years. Other OEMs cannot demand similar premiums for commodity products.

I've actually been avoiding TurboTax for about 3 years now. Mostly due to dissatisfaction with their lobbying policy.
I will be boycotting TurboTax this year. Their latest ad campaign[1] is particularly egregious. It claims that (with TurboTax's help) "people can be good at anything... even taxes". Given the amount of lobbying that Intuit does to make taxes more complicated, this message is disingenuous at best.

As an alternative to the "remap caps lock to esc or ctrl" crowd, I'd like to suggest remapping to scroll lock. I don't need easier access to esc or ctrl, so I decided to pick a different key. Scroll lock doesn't really get used for anything important (in my workflow) and provides an extra key to use in bindings for your text editor or games. I've been using it for about a decade and it gives me a bit of additional utility for a key that I wouldn't otherwise use.
This is generally my workflow as well. One useful tip is that Alt+PrintScreen will scope the screenshot to only the active/focused window, reducing the need for additional cropping.
Hasn't this been addressed by products like AliveCor's kardia line for a while now? I'd prefer the form factor of a phone-paired device over a watch in a multi-patient environment.
Cmder is a package of Conemu (already mentioned by ZenoArrow), Clink, and Unix tools with a nicer theme. It's the best that I've tried on Windows.
Hyper also has a Windows port if you're into that kind of thing.
I use cmder to host cmd.exe processes. Definitely worth a try if you are looking for console emulators on Windows.
I highly recommend you try out cmder. It's a bundle of the excellent conemu console emulator, clink for bash style completion in cmd.exe, and some unix tools.
I'm not sure about the Desktop app, but the web app should work in any modern browser today. Features are generally prioritized using user feedback, and this is one of the top suggestions on the ideas site:

It's free, offered as a standalone service separate from Office. You just need to sign up with an email address from a non-free provider.
