Hmm no there's no little evidence to support the body getting used to external melatonin and not making its own in response

On the plus side, LLM slop like this in readmes are a great indicator that you can just close the tab and carry on with life - nothing of value lost

+1. I think there's an interesting idea here but an AI slop writeup on an AI slop website is very tiring

I think it's a bit different in this case. There are plenty of modern synthesisers, from Korg and others This is intended to be a faithful recreation of a classic synth, for collectors / rich enthusiasts

This is a really great watch from Benn Jordan on the topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bP80DEAbuo Some wild things happening with those, and infrasound. Colossus is shown 4 mins in

Interesting - Claude immediately refuses API Error: Claude Code is unable to respond to this request, which appears to violate our Usage Policy (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup). Please double press

Tbh I find self-documenting CLIs (e.g. with a `--help` flag, and printing correct usage examples when LLMs make things up) plus a skill that's auto invoked to be pretty reliable. CLIs can do OAuth dances too just fine. MCP's remai

Mostly, yes: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-cli

I personally found playwright-cli, and agent-browser which wraps playwright, both more token-efficient than using the raw mcp. Odd that this article from Dec 2025 has been posted to the top of HN though

Disney 100% has access to colorists and best in class colour grading software. It must have been a business (cost cutting) decision?

Could your processing work in a webview? i.e. webgl or webasm or similar and you communicate with it via postMessage. Something like Polygen might help with the scaffolding, but I have not tried it personally

You'd think spotify as a mature company would have had obligations to report this stuff!

I've had good experience contacting canva support in the past who've checked things with engineering teams, you should be able to contact them about their new affinity sign-in

Is enshittification truly inevitable? Perhaps, but as an occasional affinity user this is good news and I don't see a reason to spell doom just yet

I imagine enough folks will pay for the Canva account subscription to upsell - and then it's also a funnel into Canva Plus it directly attacks Adobe's moat if a solid desktop app competitor is free

Yeah as someone who uses Claude code daily this feels like hype and marketing CLAUDE.md and working memory only goes so far — it never religiously follows them and does not truly 'learn' from past collaboration. In fact the more y

Great writeup. There are other scaling axes of course, around data (even synthetic data) and improving AI generation at the 'software' layer (smarter design / training efficiencies / inference speed ups) — progress in th

We are 100% going to get 'hey remember when LLMs were pure and not explicitly (or more dangerously: subtly) recommending things' nostalgia in years to come. There are parallels to early web here I'm sure of it. I think I&#x27

Siri is nowhere near an AI assistant or even a decent AI query bot. It mostly does simple commands and for the rest kicks you to web search results. Apple surely understand the opportunity here, maybe their view is LLMs are just too variabl

This is a great writeup and deep-dive into the conflicts of interest. Sounds like they are over-valued and simply _have_ to go into secondary markets

Looks like a project with 45k stars, where the latest update was Oct 2020. Why the HN post without a submission comment? Slick site I guess?
