FYI I've been building an app, Android first, and discovered the magic of Kotlin Multiplatform. The LLM modularized everything so that it's substantively the same code base, but with Swift only where it's needed. Still workin

Why should they skyrocket? As more autonomous vehicles appear on the roads, incidents with non-autonomous vehicles will go down. Driving will become inherently safer.

Yes, I definitely trust insurance companies to do the right thing here.

There should be laws put in place to ensure drivers will always be able to drive their cars, if they choose, and also prevent insurance companies from skyrocketing your rates for doing so. This is IMO past due.

Closed source doesn't mean not trustworthy. O&O has been making tools like these for a long time.

Hear me out. Decentralized unstoppable storage, combined with decentralized unstoppable training, sorta like SETI for AI training. The seed of this tech already exists with IPFS and others like it. We know (some? all?) of the big labs have

Fully open models really need to be a big part of the AI future. That includes all source code, open training data, how it's organized, fed to the model, processed, etc. Until that becomes a thing you're always going to be left wo

What ever happened to IPFS? Wasn't it built for just this kind of thing? I remember trying it years ago and it was absolutely unusable, but was kinda hoping it had made a turnaround by now.

Fantastic content. Went looking for this on HN after seeing it on lobsters, since I don't have an account there yet. It's truly sad that some of these gems never get front page coverage, for whatever reason. Anyway, this will be u

I think it should be noted that the CTO of GitHub doesn't use his own product. No commits since January 2024: https://github.com/v-fedorov-gh No side projects? Nothing? Just seems odd.

I'm partial to Typesense, especially for smaller data sets, since it runs primarily in memory, is easy to use and is hella fast. For bigger data sets, I hear good things about Meilisearch.

Probably the most refreshing thing I've read in a while. Glad to support them moving forward if this is indeed their modus operandi.

I'm just about done with https://RSSVault.org , a curated RSS feed directory. Password is vaultearly644988 if you want to check it out. The companion app, a widget-first RSS headline viewer called Just The Headlines is just

It might be a quiet A-B test they're running, but there are several reports now of Claude Code reporting that Fable usage is no longer subscription based and requires using usage credits.

Thanks Dave! Actually I was meaning to reach out, as parsing your site's RSS brought broader support for the format to the entire site. Those title-less blog posts were something else :D I didn't know much about the history of RSS

If you think that's esoteric, there's also a JSON feed standard. I have found one thus far while building out an RSS directory of over 1,000 entries.

Thank you

Yeah I'm focused on including more of the Indie Web. I include BBC, NYT, etc. because people expect it, but the directory already has some real depth worth exploring. And each feed details page has a cadence rating to tell you how ofte

Yes, with several months of iteration. I've wanted to build this for years but to get it to the point where it's a quality destination is an effort beyond the time I would have been able to contribute.

Hey thanks for taking the time. "White or almost white text would be better." -- There is some white text, headers and headlines mostly. Did you find the lack of contrast difficult to deal with? "Make “Add” button visible on

Wow, what timing. Not to shill, but I'm also nearly done building a directory of RSS feeds. It stemmed from a frustration of outdated and broken RSS feed collections, and the long slow death of the orange RSS subscribe button across th

back in my day we called this a good ole' fashioned slashdotting.

How did we let this happen? We used to have open protocols, apps like Pidgin that would bring multiple chat clients together under one interface, IRC, Skype P2P, etc. etc. Was it spammers that caused this mass migration to ever more closed

Real people are complex and hold a wide palette of skills, opinions, habits, biases, etc. Just enjoy the good and disregard the bad.
