Interesting - and timely! I've just started working on a HN client, and the Firebase API is very barebones (N^M calls to get all comments of a given story), while the Algolia API is unfortunately _almost_ good but the comments are not sorted by popularity (making it more or less useless for a client) (of course I realized that after having coded the client for it).

Now I'm in the middle of implementing scraping of the HTML to get all comments, sorted correctly, in one call... Not fun, needless to say.

FWIW it looks like this is the approach taken by the "Hackers" iOS app [1].

I hope your modern API project will see the light of day soon-ish.

Curious what you think Israelis should do in your opinion? Just "stop existing" I assume?

For the same reason I would also never use a service named something as ridiculous as "go daddy" for any kind of serious business.

How do you know it's not sentient?

Also: are insecta sentient? Is it OK to tourment insects?

I too will repeat the same comment that appears on 100% of these threads, and say that actually I love seeing the Pelican and that at this point it has become a lovely tradition.

Sunglasses that obscure your eyes have been around since forever

You can

Pretty sure filming people without their consent is already illegal?

Care to elaborate? Remember when Grok called itself "Mecha Hitler"?

What's a "sex cult"?

I really want to read it but can't find a digital version for my reader anywhere :(

You really think the marketing team based their version number on... the fiscal year?

That would be hilarious.

> This is like saying there's nothing to learn about programming, you're just telling a computer what to do. :)

Counterpoint: a friend of mine who's not a developer has vibe coded multiple apps. They work just fine. Granted they're not particularly complex (e.g. domain specific CRUD type apps) - but clearly the skills required to do that are just "ability to talk to the AI" - in other words, everybody can do it.

I don't get your comment. Care to explain?

How many of those websites do we need?

I don't know why country you live in, but in mine contractors get paid about 2x more than employees. They get less security and benefits of course.

I'm honestly confused by your comment, I have no idea what you are trying to say. (Is it sarcasm? Couldn't tell).

The EU ruined your perfect slop

That's not how it works (that would be trivial to erase).

"It's useless to make laws, bad guys will ignore them".

There's also a triple m dash: ⸻.

Its only use is to make fun of LLMs.

Sorry to be that guy but if you can't even bother to capitalize your sentences then I won't bother to read your blog.

No, PowerPoint is the application that creates and displays these archives.

That is hilarious.

"write a program that list files"

"Sure! First let's implement a file system, and the operating system around it, and design the hardware that runs it..."

I don't know if this fallacy has a name but there's something about "it's useless to make something illegal because the bad guys will ignore the law".

"Having TDS" is a ridiculous notion, please stop using that phrase.

Not the OP, but I think 'illegal' was for 'war crimes', not 'war'.

I don't understand why these TUI are popular - isn't a regular Graphical UI better for this?

To be fair, the "they're trained on this benchmark" response is also a meme.

Because it reminds you that your specific deity is just as ridiculous?
