> Merging reduces platform inefficiencies

This was literally why Rockefeller was a big proponent of the monopoly. Unfortunately exploitation is the tradeoff that is enables

I tried the Lightroom alternative, it was garbage, not even close to a replacement. They have spent decades fine tuning the smallest of features, you’re not going to replace that overnight.

I thought the Fortnite video was pretty cool actually. Wish it would’ve been a new song though

It’s not one of the coolest demos. The iPhone was a cool demo. I could see how I would use it every day and it would bring value to my life. This looks more like bravado

Love the keyboard, looks solid. Out of curiosity, why did you make the numbers so big? It looks like an intentional design choice and I don’t know if I like it, but I’m wondering if there’s reasoning behind it that could change my mind

Let’s see if we can bring the cost of hollow core fiber down, it would be faster transatlantic even

compiz was amazing, I remember playing with the wobbly windows for hours

I keep hearing “Claude creates subtle bugs”, but how is that different than people engineers? I’ve never worked in a bug free codebase

I bought a car radiator and dremeled out my case, visited Home Depot for all the tubes and connectors. It’s too easy nowadays to add watercooling

Exactly. I was building an app to track bike part usage. It was an okay app, but then I just started using ai with the database directly. Much more flexible, and I can get anything I need right then. AI will kill a lot of companies, but it won’t be the software it develops, it will be the agent itself

You can’t talk about what.cd without talking about its precursor OiNks Pink Palace. Even Trent Reznor was public about what an amazing place it was. Music aside, the community existing just for the shared love of music and not for any other kind of monetary or influencer gain is what set it apart. We just don’t have those kinds of communities for music online anymore

I’ve had an ebike that had regen (Stromer ST2). It wouldn’t have any effect on the battery, but was great for savings life of your brake pads

I have 515 since may 16 putting me as 22. So ya, math checks out. Love the service, been using them since March 2024

We had a metal lathe in our high school shop class. I still can’t believe someone didn’t kill themselves on that. I think wood lathes are fine, but honestly that should be kept out.

Similar stats for me. It’s become an invaluable tool, sometimes I’ll use another browser that’s has Google as default and immediately notice how much worse it is — all the ads, irrelevant cards, etc. Kagi is like the way Google was 10 years ago, which is MUCH better… with the benefit of more personalization

I’ve been a subscriber for about a year. It’s best at technical searches. I would say other topics, particularly niche questions I have about like sports or something, it has a more difficult time on. Absolutely do not regret subscribing though

I don’t think anyone is saying we don’t need cars. They want to decrease dependence on cars. The things that are in bicycle range should be accessible by bicycle. Today, they typically aren’t

Where does it say the AI weapons make decisions?

I've been really happy with Kagi, I've been using them a while.

One feature request, I actually wanted to brag about how long I've used it, and went to my account but couldn't see a "member since...", or a full purchase history. Seems like it would be a small but awesome feature :)

Oh wow didn’t realize that, hadn’t heard anything since the initial reports. Thanks for the clarification!

Mark Eaton too, unfortunately got hit and killed on his bike

I agree that an ebike isn't a replacement for a car in all circumstances. However, it is a replacement for a 2nd car. We have kids, groceries, vacations, beach trips, etc and have to have a car for. My wife usually has the car

I use the ebike every day to commute, and for lots of groceries or coffee runs. I've ridden that (or my road bike) ~40k miles over the last 5 years. For the "emergencies" that I do need a 2nd car, I uber. I think I've done it 5 times in the last 5 years.

In terms of dollars saved, at this point an ebike almost costs me nothing. I just use miles traveled * .55 for cost savings over a car.

In terms of co2 saved, I don't know but I consider it a win.

In terms of life enjoyment, I'd MUCH rather be on my ebike than stuck in a box.

My kids just beg other players for Robux. I guess there's all kinds...

I wrote mine in markdown and convert it to pdf (well, first html then pdf). It's worked well

   markdown resume.md > resume.tmp.html
   cat template/header.html resume.tmp.html template/footer.html > resume.html
   cp resume.html resume.tmp.html
   sed -i -e 's/"normal"/"pdf"/g' resume.tmp.html
   xvfb-run -a -s "-screen 0 640x480x16" wkhtmltopdf resume.tmp.html resume.pdf
   rm resume.tmp.html*

Also highly recommend https://www.proko.com/ (particularly "Figure Drawing Fundamentals") and https://drawabox.com/. I didn't realize how much structure drawing has, and both of those describe it in a way that's good for my right-brain. I'll never be a great artist, but it's still fun to draw!

CoreOS did pretty much this (minus k8s, but same abstraction), and I loved it. Much easier for simple deployments, harder for anything else

I've been working with maps/mapbox for like 10 years, and knew of webgl and used libraries that used it but never myself. I've never dug into this level of detail for rendering. It's been a while since I've seen such a high-effort post on HN, thanks for this, it's great.
