As a parent of a new kid, being present is exactly why I wanted a pair - I didn't want to spend time looking at them through a screen, but still wanted to keepsake some precious early moments. (didn't work out that way in practice

We thought about it - but concluded that any auto-cleaning would fall under "undoing many of the benefits of the canvas." Like a housekeeper who straightens up your desk and suddenly your spatial memory is lost and you can't

Cofounder of a now-defunct multiplayer, real-time infinite canvas project here (Here.fm) We could not for the life of us figure out how to make this a meaningful productivity tool. Yes, we had meetings here, and yes, drawing all over someon

Probably similar to many of you on HN, I've spent years and decades building stuff for a purpose. To "do" something, to hit a metric, to solve someone's problem. Trying to create with unlimited agency and for its own sak

It's clear time and again that having short-term growth at all costs means you can't have principles.

Lots of agreement and think there has been a lot written about the sterilization of something that was once beautiful and creative. Sad but inevitable when your best kept secret club isn't so best-kept anymore. Left off, and what we re

> I don't like it, but can't do much about it. Is the culture really such that you can't escalate an obvious, fairly minor mistake that is turning into disastrous PR? That would explain a lot of recent Anthropic takes actu

I'm concerned that there's no real way to "opt out" of an AI future realistically. Is this something that people are seriously thinking they'll be able to do and successfully stay gainfully employed and contributing

I'm not an OAI fanboy by a longshot - but I'd view lots of experiments that didn't work out as a healthy thing, especially for a company trying to find footing in a new industry.

Right, depends on your use cases. I was looking forward to the model as an upgrade to 2.5 Flash, but when you're processing hundreds of millions of tokens a day (not hard to do if you're dealing in documents or emails with a few u

Half of the founders will say never quit. The other half will say you have to fail fast. Choose your gurus wisely.

Reading an AI blog post (or reddit post, etc) just signals that the author actually just doesn't care that much about the subject.. which makes me care less too.

I read it as rolling with her own joke and lightening the load on the B+ rating (obviously also expressed as a loving ribbing given the context around it)

That's a lot to invest in someone at a large comparative loss, in a world where employees don't last more than a couple years before job hopping.

nobody in my life feeds me as many positive messages as Claude Code. It's as if my dog could talk to me. I just hope nobody takes this simple pleasure away

Incidental gatekeeping by leaving it on the black market isn't the way to keep it safe, quite the opposite - that poses a lot of dangerous risks. Bringing it into the light under thoughtful consideration and openly discussing and encou

Thanks to your father for his contribution to my childhood, I used QModem every single day until my parents screamed, and it changed my life. I made friends on some local BBSes that I still have 30+ years later. Sending condolences and grat

These labels do as much to hurt ourselves as they do to try and help. The truth (for me at least) is that whether I'm comfortable and energized by others depends on my level of comfort with the people, my familiarity with the situation

Well finally I have a new excuse to ask dumb questions here... But what I mean is, what are the downstream consequences of this knowledge? Does it change how we can reason about health, cognition, etc?

Most important point on keeping friction to a minimum is the reduction of moving parts in your app. Find the most architecturally simple way to build, without relying on many third parties or external dependencies. Think long and hard every

I worked in the Meta NY office for a while, and had a friend living down the block with anxiety, with a prescription to treat it. Sometime during my tenure, her prescription started becoming unfillable; the pharmacies are only legally allow

Our team has been looking at Highlight recently and getting feedback from our team -- and they love it. Super solid product that will replace a lot of what we use now for logging and session recording, and the Highlight team is insanely res

Having some competition is probably the best way to make space companies work efficiently, cheaply, and reliably, so these two egomaniacs fighting it out in a space race might be the best possible thing for progress in the industry.

Really excited to see this. Being part of the scene was absolutely fundamental to finding passion in tech and understanding how creative the process is at the core.

I'm curious how you define culture that you call if over-rated. To me, culture is the individual accountability and focus on results that you describe, plus humility, freedom to take initiative, mentorship, empathy, perseverance, per

I'm sort of surprised by the level of cynicism the HN crowd has. Call me naive, I'd like to believe that he's trying to do something good with his money without letting shareholders steer FB into a typical wall street short-t
