Sorry but Paul is just so out of touch with reality. I’m tired of seeing everyone on HN evangelize this man. He is very intelligent and has done some really great things but times have changed and we need to let the next generation think fo

Aside from the obvious fact that this is AI slop, the author (prompter?) doesn’t consider the R&D of AI itself. Efficiency gains, more compute, etc. We all know every frontier AI lab is heavily subsidizing usage, and so do all of the VC

You’d think this is how it works but universities and schools will still end up holding the bag at the end of the day, irrespective of who is responsible.

I’d like to see more investment in their new profile manager. It feels pretty barebones at the moment. Arc had the ability to link profiles to “spaces” and you could easily switch between them without opening a new window. It was very nice

Could definitely be writing on the wall that MV2 support will be deprecated in the future but imo not necessarily a bad thing if it’s not actively developed anyways. Maintaining both MV2 & MV3 support isn’t easily sustainable long term

Posts like these always give me a moment of pause to reflect just how expansive the global internet is.

Very neat. This is an example of digital art that I’d love to see exist in physical form somehow. I suppose it could get rather noisy at a museum but I love the intersection of mass transit & music.

Just sent this to my partner. He’s super into travel hacking and this will be a nice add to his toolkit.

This is the classic car wash subscription scheme. You sign up a bunch of people for $40 a month to wash their car. Most people only go to wash their car once or twice a month (or even less), which offsets those few folks that do it three ti

Yah well I'll be downgrading my subscription to the $20/month plan for the light chats I have with AI outside of using custom harnesses and will figure out a better provider for the agentic tooling.

So interesting that Baltimore’s very subpar public transit system made it into the first batch of systems — not complaining at all I love that city & love to see it in random places on the internet :)

An interesting hearing it from that perspective. I had not considered that this could be used across all of the systems they have in place. To add to this, I did a quick search on archive.org and it seems like they’ve had this site in place

On my weekly unsubscribe binge I recently tried to opt out of General Motors marketing communications. They have a form that requires you enter your full name, address, phone number, and email just to process an unsubscribe. In addition, th

Ditto. Though I always take the lazy route and just change port numbers until I find an open one. My Mac is probably running like 20 different localhost apps at any given time.

I'm usually pretty opinionated on using AI for reasons I generally view as productive - for example, not moltbook - however this is actually really neat and doesn't require a ton of token usage assuming you don't instruct you

Learning to choose your words more wisely as you age does not necessarily indicate your underlying value system has evolved.

Seems like DO sure has a bot problem. I wonder what percentage of their business is less-scrupulous actors.

Using AI to analyze health data has such a huge potential upside, but it has to be done locally. I use [insert LLM provider here] all the time to ask generic, health-related questions but I’m careful about what I disclose and how I disclose

This may be a controversial position but I actually enjoy using Firefox. Vertical tabs, better profile management, etc. have all been welcome things I had in other browsers (cough Arc cough) that have made it bearable enough to use Firefox

Totally written by AI. There’s too many embellishments like “LinkedIn legitimacy” and short summarizations. AI loves to wordsmith.
