Check out IPLD (the model that powers IPFS), which translates hash-linked DAGs and handles merkle DAGs (git) natively. There's been several attempts to build Xanadu'ish things on various types of networks, web2, web3, p2p, etc, but it just doesn't seem to be what the majority wants. Maybe someday...

You've missed the point. I enjoy cocktails, and I even think the linked page here is nice, both in cocktail selection and page design, but I don't think it particularly belongs on HN.

Here's an example recipe page that does feel appropriate to me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48408854

I'm not trying to win any wars here, I only provided a possible explanation to someone's question. Culture evolves and that's fine, or maybe the ratio of technical vs non-technical content is actually stable on HN? I really don't know, but to me it feels like the the volume of random content and low-grade comments is increasing. Personally, I don't think that represents the spirit of HN, but my comment was downvoted so either I'm wrong, the culture has shifted, or the mainstream is already the majority here.

I'm a fan of the Caipirinha however, so thanks for the Tschunk recipe.

I feel the same, but it's an unavoidable cycle IMHO. Any subculture that becomes popular gets diluted by more average people, and the content becomes more basic and banal. You can flag and downvote, but eventually there are enough people who treat a platform like HN as a general discussion board, without regard for cultural alignment. It seems that stuff like politics and random recipes are on the rise, but it's not against the rules, so maybe it really is just a general discussion board that's evolving into the mainstream.

777-FILM "Hello, and welcome to Moviefone!"

In Northern California the number corresponded to POP-CORN, so if you wanted to know the time you called popcorn, and got a lovely lady's voice: "At the tone, the time will be...". The POP prefix was a shortcut to the phone company.

I like to use a handful of stable shell scripts as the entry points, this way you can change the tooling under the hood without having to update related callers. E.g. you can break up with make or mise or whatever, but you don't need to update your CI. Run.sh runs, build.sh builds, etc.

I know I read HN for the world news and recipes...

It's not illegal if it's through a licensed channel.

On its own, yes, but not in context. I think one of the problems with Claude's stock output is it assumes the reader has a firm grip on the context of the output, which is often untrue. Stock output is exhausting to read because you have to unwind metaphors in an unstated context.

I don't like the memories, but I value them. I do a regular sweep of the memories, extract to harness or docs, then delete them.

People make fun of the language, rightfully so in some cases, but also it's often quite effective language. "load-bearing seam" communicates quite a lot in very few characters.

> Sorting requires a model of how your org actually behaves: trust relationships, hallway knowledge, the consequences of past decisions. Almost none of this is written down.

This is a long-standing problem related to operational excellence and politics. I expect this will improve with AI adoption and integration. You can't get an exec to create a decision record and commit it to git. Managers have incentive to sequester information.

Engineering already has the discipline (maybe) and abilities to solve the problem. Version control, change control, ADRs, logging, structured docs, etc... We can trace an inbound packet or call through the entire stack. Management can't/won't do anything remotely close. 1-to-1 emails, meeting minutes, stale Word docs is the standard for most.

Inserting LLMs as the interface, and/or plugging into existing interfaces like email, is going to change things. Finally it will be possible to capture more institutional knowledge, without trying to teach an old dog new tricks.

This is peak old man yells at cloud.

There's so much good radio to be had since the arrival of the internet. Not even talking about online-only, but actual radio stations who also stream. Maybe there's less cool broadcast stations in any given area, but our overall exposure via internet is incredible. Just search for free-form radio. If you have a college in your area, you probably have interesting radio and DJs on the airwaves.

The article ends with giving up, ipod + KPFA news, which just seems wild. Never has there been a time where there's more music available.

There are a lot of Muggles in the world.

> Windows 3.1? It was only 6 3.5” disks.

Well ackchyually... Windows 3.1 was just a window manager, you needed another 3 disks for DOS, and if you wanted that sweet networking support, you'd need Windows for Workgroups 3.11 which was 8 disks!

It is indeed funny/sad to see the rancor created by our own inputs. You can't escape the AI police on HN right now. There will always be someone leaving a shallow complaint or accusation about the look or language, regardless of reality. Obviously slop exists, but the culture war has polarized some people enough that they're blinded, and anything resembling LLM output is a trigger. God help you if you use useful language like "load-bearing", because the police are definitely on their way.

FWIW, I don't think the site fits the LLM template. The scroll through the use cases is particularly nice.

And thanks for Elixir. I love it, and the agent + tidewave loop is a joy to use!

A portion of the leading edge is already talking to their computers. First it was wiring up Wispr to your agent, now you can just enable voice mode in Claude. That paradigm shift just hasn't reached the mainstream yet.

Most people can barely type or operate a computer, so I think it will be a boon to many folks to have a voice/agent interface to their computing. I agree that a local model that's "good enough" will suffice for most general tasks. There's no need to call Mythos to "add cheese to the shopping list" or "summarize today's emails". Harder tasks will call out to stronger models, but many people just won't need that power.

I suspect all the platforms are keenly aware of this, and Apple will drop Siri v2 or whatever when they're satisfied with their UX and more confident the agent won't go off the rails.

I enjoy some battlestation pics, but this feels like an oddly uniform collection that makes me feel like I'm looking at a stock art catalog. I'm not sure if it's a narrow demographic being interviewed, the photos themselves, the presentation, or what. It's kind of eerie.

> Does the LLM become another interface to computing?

It already is.

Very cool, thanks for the write up on the recommendations. I'm always hungry for new music and I have a somewhat patchy last.fm history going back to 2005. I'd love to check out your tool, email in profile. Cheers!

Very interesting! I'm considering Meilisearch but have zero experience with it, so I appreciate your response, thanks. I've used Elastic in the past, but trying to avoid it now. I'm a ways from needing edge distribution, so hopefully Meili might be a decent choice until then. Isolated indexing shipped back to the core sounds pretty cool though.

1. I'm interested and would like to know more! Will you be publishing it? How do the recommendations work?

Do your crawlers respect robots.txt and have a fixed IP pool that can be blocked?

Where do you get your data from?

What drove you away from Meilisearch?

They already are. Non-model features are popping up quickly, most of which are vendor lock-in mechanisms.

That's an implementation preference, and you can have all of that today if you write your own harness. Vibe coding a cat meme generator doesn't need a Lean proof.
