Does this do the formatting that wisprflow will do kind of thing?

Well done. There are some fun features here! Very polished as well.

Did you listen to the recent interview with Ben Bajarin? I thought that interview alone justified the subscription. Curious as to whether anyone else felt the same.

The current AI wave has been compared (by sama) to electricity and sometimes transistors. AI is just going to be in all the products. The trillion dollar question is: Do you care what kind of electricity you are using? So, will you care what kind of AI you are using.

In the last few interviews with him I have listened to he has said that what he wants is "your ai" that knows you, everywhere that you are. So his game is "Switching Costs" based on your own data. So he's making a device, etc etc.

Switching costs are a terrific moat in many circumstances and requires a 10x product (or whatever) to get you to cross over. Claude Code was easily a 5x product for me, but I do think GPT5 is doing a better job on just "remembering personal details" and it's compelling.

I do not think that apps inside chatgpt matters to me at all and I think it will go the way of all the other "super app" ambitions openai has.

This may not be your cup of tea but I'm using stage manager on Mac for the first time after hating on it for years, for exactly this. I've got 3 monitors and they all have 4-6 stage manager windows. I bundle the terminals, web browser and whatever into these windows. Easily switching from project to project.

If you read the thread, the amount of fake accounts supporting the moderator is just insulting to me as a reader. Just bizarre.

I think there are a lot of great things about Mercury - I've used them for a few companies and think they are leading the way on an innovative feature set. It's very easy to create unlimited debit cards and limit them in a variety of ways to name just one small feature. Very handy.

That said, they lost a $250,000 incoming wire critical to my business and I couldn't get a hold of anyone until I started tweeting about it a week later and the CEO responded. The money showed up with no explanation, ever. We stopped using them for critical money flows after that.

I don’t know how long it will take googles stock to crater but surely it must. My usage has dropped 98% or more.

I don’t see how they preserve an ad model hegemony much longer.

I am a massive caffeine drinker. Like many of us, I monitor my sleep religiously so I have an anecdote. Late afternoon espresso or hot coffee is usually quite sleep effecting.

However - I have found that cold brew does not bother my sleep! At least the brand that I drink. Very strange, but awesome. Cold brew does not have the acidity of hot coffee which is a double bonus if you get acid reflux at night from poor eating or drinking habits. Give it a whirl.

I've spent a lot of time in NOLA over the past 5 years as I have some investments here. The quality/price of housing and quality of life in the Uptown and Audubon Park areas is fantastic. I'm very surprised more remote engineers/workers haven't discovered it. Yes, hurricanes are a thing.

I would consider raising a family in those areas as well. Beautiful and walkable.

I live here part time now. I tell people New Orleans is a different country - has to be experienced.

Here's a heretical thought: Remote hiring is a massive achilles heel.

I've been duped simply by hiring a great engineering candidate who then farmed out the actual work to remote workers in Pakistan and India. We caught on fairly quickly thanks to one of them forgetting to login to one of our backend systems via vpn a few times. No idea how many companies he was "working for" but I'd bet we were one of many.

Remote work has amazing upsides and tremendous security implications.

I'm reading a lot of complaints here but let's recognize some interesting aspects that Sahil is talking about: 1. It's the 5th largest rails codebase open to AI ingestion. 2. They are offering bounties for issues. Not large bounties but whatever, it's something.

I personally like rails and would love to see AI tools improve with it. No idea if this code base will really help that, and when but it can't hurt. In my experience I can get next apps up in a jiffy but rails is much more of a struggle. If anyone has any tips here, please post.

I'm always curious about how well bounties work especially now in an AI age. I wonder what the arbitrage on AI spend vs. bounty will be for people that take a run at them.

Saw this gem of a gem on reddit earlier today and there were some trollish comments about no one using ruby anymore blah blah blah which quietly bummed me out. Surprised and Delighted to see it as #1 here on HN tonight!

I guess I don't know how HN works. How does this get to the top of HN with 8 points?

I implemented Johnny Decimal about 5 years ago in Google Drive. The cool thing about it is it's just always there. It's pretty much set and forget it.

I'll forget about it (because ADHD?) and when I open up drive, there it is! :). And I'll use it.

It's a small investment upfront.

What’s the current state of the art in 3d printers willing to spend 1k+. Is there an authoritative site for hardware?

This is a profoundly powerful statement to me. “But it was never going to be me”.

This guy is clearly one of our best, brightest and bravest given his history of service. What a loss for this country.

Been here for 15 years. This is the most interesting project and writeup I have ever seen here.

I was wondering about that too. This is in the article linked to https://rubymamistvalove.com/block-editor

7. The previous version of Daino Notes, called Notes is FOSS (free and open-source software) available at https://www.notes-foss.com/ and the source code is available at https://github.com/nuttyartist/notes. I decided to make Daino Notes closed source due to difficulties in monetizing FOSS. In order to comply with Notes' MPL license, all common files between Notes and Daino Notes are published in https://github.com/nuttyartist/daino-notes-public

Is it a Game? Tv Channel? AI?

As the former proprietor of LanParty.com (which I mistakenly included in a sale to IGN) I must salute you. The absolute genius of the provided lan equipment and particularly the management thereof is an inspiration.

I think the lack of any standing offerings of variations of Quake is a glaring mistake but easily rectified. :)

It's really heartening to see lan gaming continued and offered in such a way that the amount of hassle and setup is minimized and the gaming is maximized. We spent far too much time in the 90's and 2000's dealing with driver issues, etc etc. Bravo.

I read his books every day when really young. He created such a great world to imagine. The note about him moving to Switzerland makes sense - his world did feel really European now that I think about it.

My kids, now grown, did not get to experience his books - are his books sold widely anymore?

I would use it more but after an hour I have ENORMOUS bags under my eyes that last for 24-36 hours. I've tried multiple 3rd party accessories but to little success. My wife is not a fan.

Otherwise I would code and work in them for a few hours a day. I find the environment incredibly focusing.

I do not have this issue using the Oculus Pro, or any of the myriad headsets I've had in the past.

I think the severity of this problem depends on context. I can share that as a small startup we had a patent troll come after us and it was almost fatal because it shattered our fund raising process.

We prevailed and lived to fight another day but that was an incredibly unproductive and stressful time.

So I see this differently as do the many team members who kept their jobs and made good money when we were acquired.

Is this article being gamed? Reads like meandering gibberish and void of any facts.

Apparently you have never tried to access an "adult service" from Louisiana. :)

We used to run lanparty.com - big mistake letting that one go. Is there a credible lan party directory anymore?

Wait till these guys try the Apple headset.... oh the irony.

I think the AVP (Apple Vision Pro) is incredible. I am wearing it... a LOT. I'm working, wandering around, playing, etc. I don't think I'm crazy either. It's not social media per se at the moment but it's definitely a major shift from not being "online".

I'm wearing it so much I'm getting puffy bags under my eyes (hopefully temporary)

There is a whole new set of issues and causation coming!

Here's a fast and easy tool for Mac (& Linux) that I've been using: https://ollama.ai

I've been finding it really odd how little coding chatGPT will do now. Earlier this year if I asked for a full set of code to solve a problem it would do the entire css, code, whatever. Now it will offer the start and then suggest what needs to be written next. Yesterday it gave me a bunch of commented pseudocode after I asked for a specific set of functions.

night and day in my opinion.
