This couldn't be further from the truth. The indie web was exciting because it was the product of distinct human voices. LLMs only speak in one voice (with subtle differences between the major models but similar "tells"). Thi

What I always find interesting is how folks like DHH love to cloak themselves in righteousness saying they're making a place away from "those people" where everyone can feel welcome "regardless of their beliefs." Be

Or maybe societies could instead make the prospect of having children less onerous? It's not an uncommon story in America that a couple will choose to stay unmarried when having children so that the mother can qualify for benefits like

AI industry profits have and will continue to be privatized while the enormous costs of job displacement (to name just one of many negative externalities) will be gleefully socialized. We've seen this film before.

Praying that this means the bubble is finally (inevitably) beginning to burst.

Give that a try and let us all know how it goes. :)

Tailwind is just CSS so there's no lock-in to speak of and no migration necessary. If you had a specific instance where Tailwind wasn't a good fit you can just hand-write as needed. Sure, if you wanted to stop using Tailwind altog

The BeOS aesthetic has aged so well. I'll always wonder what might've been had they not been deliberately smothered in the crib (or at the very least if Apple had chosen to acquire them).

You can save a lot of time and just say you're voting for the current regime because that's exactly what "throwing your ballot in the trash" accomplishes.

You can tell conservative opinions are censored and suppressed by the way they're constantly shoved down our throats every hour of every day.

Running with ANC headphones on is like driving with your eyes closed. Safety is a two-way street and it's everyone's responsibility to maintain a basic level of situational awareness.

Really starting to feel like I'll need to look for an offramp from this industry in the next couple of years if not sooner. I have nothing in common with the folks who would happily become (and are happily becoming) AI slop farmers.

It's a speculative instrument useful for enabling criminal activity and not much else.

You just know Elon could announce that product, call it "GoldX" and sell millions overnight. He never seems to run out of greater fools.

They're sort of damned if they do and damned if they don't, aren't they? If they make traffic stops for speeding people will moan about how they're just trying to meet quotas or ask why they aren't going after &quot

Why not share your own thoughts rather than this LLM slop? Or maybe this is just a bot account. Either way, disappointing to see on HN.

I wouldn't expect to hear back. GP is either a troll or a cultist or both.

Maybe you could share some of his well-reasoned positions with us, then? :)

Social media is a poison and Mr. Adams drank deep from the well. It's a shame.

God, I was so hopeful that you were joking but I guess I should know better by now.

It may seem cute but economies only do this when they are very stressed.

Ironic, given Sam Altman's entire fortune and business model is predicated on the infantilization of humanity.

Late-stage capitalism in action. We have companies that are so insanely rich (despite losing equally insane amounts of money) that they can single-handedly corner worldwide markets for critical components in a brazen attempt to hurt the com

This is your daily reminder that tariffs are a tax on American consumers and are NOT paid by the country the tariffs are imposed on, no matter how desperately the current administration might try to convince you otherwise.

A great tool if you want your own unique voice to blend seamlessly into the tidal wave of LLM-generated mush flooding the internet.

The overall look and feel is very BeOS and that's just about the highest compliment a piece of software can receive. :)
