Love love love SingleFile too. The FF extension works pretty well for a clean save. That said, Kage looks promising if OP can combine SingleFile reproduction quality with the HTTPTrack spidering approach. SPA's are kinda tricky with ar

One thing I'd personally like to see a little more discussion of (at least within my social circles) is.. what exactly does "using AI" mean? How does this connect to everyone's high level ideas/thoughts about "

> In particular, the concept of the Roko's Basilisk is some rehash of the Pascal's Wager. Oh boy couldn't agree more. The whole Basilisk drama really caused me to rethink the idea that a group of Rationalists were in pract

Thanks from where I'm looking Grok 4.3 and Claude 4.7 do a better job on the informal close friend/coworker vibe. ChatGPT sounds fake / formal phrasing (for the specific close friend context) and has em-dashes and uses capita

> Consumer purchase behavior is highly impulsive and irrational. This is correct. It’s quite possible to both satisfy more customers and work within your constraints. Eg $30 bucks lifetime would be nice. You could put it in small print b

Oh boy.. this is a perfect Show HN to wake up to :) With the wild pace of everything going on right now. I can’t be alone feeling it truly captures the hacker spirit. Echoes to early Lisp days, or maybe my high school side quest to learn M

Attention is squandered these days like free samples at a Costco run by raccoons. It's not hard to think hard. It's hard to have discipline.

Fair and share same concerns The track record of the really big CEOs has been less than super good nervous sweating Maybe I’m being naive, but there a few good ones (smaller and mid tier size) out there imo

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this too! Kudos and shout out to the author Erik Kennedy. One can definitely see the care and love. We hope to see more of this style the future Kind of reminds me of worrydream (Brett Victor), better explained an

Annnd I’m old enough to remember last weeks Superbowl ad controversy :) It’s not like “OpenAI == AI” One could possibly make the case that currently that is the public perception (outside the SV bubble). But is it really true? Last time I c

That’s a reasonable take. The never part seems strong though. If I may offer a slight consideration? “arbitrary code vs arbitrary signed code”. What’s realistically stopping Apple from requiring all code and processes be signed? Including o

Sort of related: JS is officially written as "JavaScript" (yeah, ikr) and surprisingly the trademark is owned by Oracle.

I see what you're saying, though I think it misses the mark somewhat. By analogy, the 'the web' does not only mean HTTP or even the exclusively just the various protocols involved. (to name a few on the client side: ip, tcp,

Kudos on a useful concept. Some feedback: Alternate pronunciations seems to go a bit wonky. For example it pronounces Ribosome [1] (/ˈraɪbəˌsoʊm, -boʊ-/) as ri-bo-some-bo :). Overall quite a nifty tool as many wikipedia pages do

The OP and GP provide an example of the age-old dichotomy between deontological (kyledrake) and consequentialist (cjbprime) viewpoints. Which is more correct, has been debated for centuries and unlikely to be resolved anytime soon, as it&#x

Nice aesthetics and form factor, which makes the choice to use fabric right under the palms, more than odd. Perhaps it will have strong sales given potential buyers rarely consider these long term issues. However, that fabric is almost cert
