tansan··on Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to put headlines back into Twitter
I actually think this helps with two issues 1) news outlets complaining about traffic dropping because of social media 2) helps reduce headline attention economy (hopefully).

How about just rejecting the withdrawal instead of overdrafting?

Isn't this only a type of tree? The way you phrased your first sentence make it seem like a common natural occurrence for all trees.

tansan··on Twitter, now X, to remove blocking feature
Majority of the people on my timeline using twitter would admit that it has improved in some shape or form. Even opensourcing the algorithm has been very fruitful for many. There are many decisions that people disagree with, but it's overall has worked out.

> The platform seems to be just a sandbox for one guy at this point.

Even if that may be true, it seems X has been doing well lately. Admittedly, my timeline has been sharing a lot more interesting items than I had previously received.

tansan··on Twitter, now X, to remove blocking feature
It's really easy to get around the block, so I would have to agree that it is not that useful of a feature.
tansan··on Ask HN: I desperately want a solo business
How did you end up finding an idea that was viable? I have researched ideas and then ended up just scrapping it because it didn't seem viable.
tansan··on Why Tailwind CSS Won
Out of curiosity, do you use react or use any components in those projects? The general consensus seems to be people who are practicing atomic design with components love Tailwind, and people who don't dislike Tailwind.
tansan··on Doctor GPT: A Large Language Model That Can Pass the US Medical Licensing Exam
Yes, "legal" was the word I was looking for!

> As a mission statement for a software project, it very clearly indicates an intent to have the software act as a doctor.

I do understand that interpretation. However, the mission statement seems vague enough since there are many ways to achieve that said mission statement. Not saying it's good as it currently is, but trying to understand how that mission statement equated to giving medical advice.

Let's say that intent is true, is the intent the same as actually providing the medical/legal advice in this case?

> to overall "provide everyone their own private doctor" as if the opinion of this AI model can be trusted not to hallucinate or regurgitate harmful medical advice.

You're taking that sentence out of context. It very clearly says its their mission and it's a mission statement.

Would you apply that same reaction to SpaceX's mission statement?

> MAKING HUMANITY MULTIPLANETARY

Would you say "as if the technology of these spaceships can be trusted not to explode"?

tansan··on Doctor GPT: A Large Language Model That Can Pass the US Medical Licensing Exam
How is that giving medical advice? that's a mission statement.

If my mission statement is to provide everyone with a private lawyer, then is that giving lawful advice?

tansan··on Tell HN: Airbnb’s transparent pricing is a lie
This is a loose thread, but your post reminded me of this article: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/silicon-val...

It's an interesting read and really made about think about how big of a game they are all playing.

tansan··on SVG Chromium bug is more than 10 years old
I thought it was cool to find an issue this old and still being worked on, so I shared it. It was nice seeing how much work goes into it.

What's your problem?

Browsers can't really unilaterally deprecate W3C standards especially when its already implemented in competing browsers.

tansan··on SVG Chromium bug is more than 10 years old
It feels really strange to see this known issue go unaddressed for such a long period since Chromium is the current market leader.

I think that fs guy is a legend after reading the comments. That person has been just grinding on all the issues for years.
tansan··on SVG Chromium bug is more than 10 years old
The `<use>` element in SVG can target an external source and clone it into the shadow DOM. However, there is a bug that prevents it from copying certain elements resulting in an unexpected SVG.

One commenter puts it into perspective:

"How is this still not fixed 10 years later? This bug is now just as old as Voyager 1 leaving the solar system or Lana Del Rey debut album. We went through an entire Spider Man reboot cycle and 3 James Bond movies. A whole generation of consoles came and passed by with PlayStation 4 being both released and superseded by PlayStation 5 while this bug was open. This bug is older than Grand Theft Auto 5. We live in a whole different world now, especially considering the pace web is developing and we STILL cannot store an icon with a gradient in an external SVG sheet."

tansan··on Show HN: I made a MailChimp alternative that connects to your database
This feels like a very small step up from just doing everything in my codebase.

My SES is already setup. I have templating for emails already. I can query my DB using my ORM without grant additional access. I guess I get the benefits of your UI for monitoring.

I'm really not sure if the net positive is large enough for me to consider the solution.

tansan··on What makes developers productive?
I'm inclined to believe proper agile is a myth. I have never seen it done correctly, and it's always spoken about ideally. All forms of agile I have seen or heard about always breaks down in real businesses environments.

tansan··on Wash trading gone wrong – how a $100M/day crypto exchange bankrupted itself
I thought it was odd that they were smart enough to exploit the bot, but not smart enough to retrieve the money. Most people would have tried to withdraw a bit by bit to prevent alarms from being raised.
