This AI builder is actually doubling down on blocks - everything is block based and the canvas it works on is the full site editing. Without block editor, this wouldn’t be possible

DINDER

Thank you, edited - my toddler did not sleep that well tonight :D

When you are the one running the generator, it is.

I couldn't resist the metaphor of the "Organic" origin, as produced by wet brain instead of silicon.

> There is so much stuffing for a simple idea that I'm not sure if this piece deserves its own title, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Frankly I had the same thought writing it :D

It's more of a stake in the ground sort of a thing I guess? What I really want is somebody saying "hey, there is an open standard already here" so I can use it.

> good that automattic is setting this policy for themselves

To clarify, this not a policy but a design choice and an intent of one PM :D I cannot speak for the actual company policy because we are at an exploration phase.

> also @simonw’s “AI veganism”: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32639643 its a good term because it will be about as popular and have as loud and passionate and few adherents as actual veganism

Diets are such a rich metaphor for the approach to content! Fast food on the consumption side, veganism, kosher, paleo etc. on the production side

Came here for that. Handling those was fun to implement in our payments systems :D

This was the first game I ever got into and it was so lovely! So many great memories

I work at Automattic as well and love P2s to the point that I changed my internal work title to "Accomplished P2 author".

I love how:

- They are async by default

- Incentivize deep analysis and thoughtful writing

- There is a canonical link for every piece of information, project, etc

- Discussions only need to happen once. Whenever somebody starts discussing a matter we analysed 3 years ago, somebody drops a link on slack to provide context.

To be fair, we are a company of 2000+ and every time we grow, we are actively discussing ways to evolve how we use P2s.

Keeping a writing culture requires habits as well. We specifically hire for good writting communication skills.

Yes it does!

P2 is way more like Hacker News than it is like wiki. The threaded/nested comment system is a huge part of how we use P2s to communicate, jam on ideas, and frankly - also provide critical feedback.

Just like on HN, one comment deep in the thread can be way more valuable than the original post. (I work at Automattic)

Italian internet is extremely cheap TBH

4 years ago I bought Dacia Duster - it is a Renault-made car on the chassis of Nissan Quashqai. It costs $10k new, straight from the dealer. Mine costed 13k because I added powered mirrors, electric windows, A/C, and aluminum rims.

When I travelled to Mexico, I've seen it very popular there under Renault brand.

The car feels cheap, cramped, and has no discernible acceleration :D. It also gets the job done, is dirt cheap to repair, and has so much clearance you can build a whole lean startup under the floor.

If you write something that we would love, or sparks an awesome discussion - it is your DUTY to submit it :D. The goal here is to find interesting stories, not get "white knight points" for refusing to post your own content.

I submitted many of my own articles here and they have trended. Frankly, it constitutes most of my submissions.

Since HN is the way I get information, it is hard for me to pitch anything novel since whenever I come with content that I want to share, I search and somebody already submitted it :/. It is a new years resolution of mine do post more of the "other" stuff

I rounded up my thoughts on what made my previous articles "successful":

Busted!

Precisely the opposite! Author is annoyed listening to friends complaining about mistakes that would have been easily avoided if they took time to think.

Updated! Thank you - English is my second language and that sort of thing still catches me off-guard

I (author) have a kid, a dog, an apartment and a summer house I inherited. I definitely speak from experience here and am not specifically against anything in particular, except rushing into decisions.

Houses have sizes, locations and whole spectrum of varieties that can be taken into account!

Hey - author here:

Yeah, I kind of forgot to caveat it all with how unreasonably good I have it as a programmer, and that story refers to my programmer friends, who like to marinate a little too long in bad jobs that they could have easily changed

Thank you dang for managing this community with such care!

There was a very active community back in the day: http://forum.gwrota.com/ It spawned an entire community of TV-shows translators that now translate other series.

And of course, it was torrent then. There was just no other way to legally get it. Torrent was much more popular

Polish SG-1 fan forum was huge and it kickstarted my belief that meeting people online-first is possible. I traveled 90km to meet people I met on that board.

> The world didn't used to be like that. I credit Christianity with the invention of proselytizing; religions before it (including Judaism, its immediate parent) were content to stay with a given tribe and not try to spread.

While I do agree that this seem to be very correlated with the montoheistic religions (wrote about exactly that here):

> Monotheism makes it really hard to consider the arguments of the other side because it doles out the addictive sweet nectar of moral superiority

https://piszek.com/2022/01/10/monotheism/

I don't agree with your conclusion that this is something you have to fight. We can do exactly what they did before the spread of montheism - live in the world where it is perfectly normal to have multiple points of view or even value frameworks. Rome thrived in that setting.

The choice between us vs them is itself an illusion. You don't have to subscribe to the entire package, but then you don't get access to that righteousness Fix

The App form factor is better suited to the user mental model of something they use daily. It has both higher stickiness AND it slots with their expectations. I made a mental shortcut of bundling these 2 together.

By definition I cannot provide the entire truth because only a slice of reality is available to me.

As such, the only "not contradictory" response to "is this entire truth" is no. Ergo you are correct.

We are not Epic :)

It is the whole truth. App users come back more often and Apple deserves their share of credit

Our main business is not fighting Apple, although we support the open web quite a bit by leading the WordPress project https://www.protocol.com/matt-mullenweg

Many, many users expect every single thing to be an app
