Can we get the link to that TikTok? lol

Also what do you think about goose

I have a question about markdown on MacBook Pro. You know the preview feature - I think it’s called quick quicklook - how can I get that to work for markdown? I’ve associated .md files to always open with my IDE, but they still don’t render with the preview which is a mild annoyance. In my IDE i do use an extension to render the Md so that could be why and I could understand why recursive invocation may not be exposed at or available to the preview extension level. But any suggestions?

It’s kind of interesting that this happens so shortly after they proudly announced how easily they would’ve able to migrate all systems from Microsoft and US firms. Maybe next year will be the year of the Linux desktop

I love this - watching the hurricanes game right now! Autorefresh would be nice and then it looks like a small bug in the faceoff percentage as they both say 100% which shouldn't be possible at any point in the game. Also would be sick to be able to enter the team and roster detail page from within the game detail page. But I love this so much and appreciate you for building it :D

edit the face off percentage is still a little off it's updated to show this 87% - 67%. Also followed you on twitter and github.

Lmao I love this flavor of the ‘tism that always surfaces in hn comment threads exactly like this. Like moths to a flame

Good news: this cat and mouse game is keeping some of our brothers / sisters in software employed at FAANG. I feel like the girl from the kombucha reaction gif weighing both sides in this back and forth rally lol

This is my favorite type of interaction to see when browsing HN. I feel like this respectful mosh pit of ideas and practitioners is uniquely rad. Thanks for the serendipity dopamine this Sunday

Chopping block

hacker smacker smacked down

Probably because we all start cyber bullying every model when they give us code that doesn’t work. Sorry, Claude - please don’t nuke us.

This is incredibly resonant

Dyslexic and also a prolific screen reader user myself. +1 and thank you for mentioning something that often gets (ironically) overlooked

This verbose mode discussion has gotten quite verbose lol

Driving and living in Atlanta after living in Charleston and Raleigh felt like transitioning from a modern cooperative society to an island of cannibals. The amount of aggression needed to change lanes largely regardless of attempts to signal good faith and politeness is baffling. Driving is a fascinating ritual with vastly differing norms across regions. It would be interesting to learn if anthropologists have studied this

I like Atlanta’s solution even better: after becoming egregious enough sloppily bolt down a much too tall metal plate over the pothole and those that have proliferated nearby. Cross fingers and hope they won’t coalesce as a sink hole and as with everything else: “Go Dawgs”

the type of screw head really doesn't make a difference when I'm hammering them into the wall, I've found xD

10,000 chimpanzees with typewriters. Do you accept telefacsimile submissions? I’ll try to train them to use appropriate cover letters

They should’ve named him tom instead of Claude in homage to Ten second Tom from fifty first dates

We’re moving away from hardware and into software and longevity in this discussion but wrt “apple leads the industry in supporting older devices with software updates” i would point out that Red Hat is probably more of a beacon / industry leader here as the main promise of RHEL is 10 years of support and updates. But again we don’t ship hardware so I see the narrower sense that you’re making but still would like to push back on the idea that giant companies cannot continue to keep complicated legacy code bases secure and functional about 2x longer in most cases than what Apple has done

4:20 PM - nice

Have you considered taking up your hobby in Afghanistan? Somewhat tongue in cheek, but a locality under the Taliban have ratified a morality law that bans photography of living things https://apnews.com/article/afghanistan-taliban-media-moralit...

Getting a 503 error now upon request to the vape hosted blog. Safe to say that it got smoked by the hacker news traffic volume!

Sorry I’m late to this conversation but am very interested in the specifics of your comment and the micro domain of AI in studio productions and the econs of the bidding landscape as well. Contact in bio :)

Gift link - should be able to read without subscription

both of my claims were subjective and thus not really refutable. As an outsider I think it is interesting, too. And think the flexibility is similar to many laws akin to what we have in the US via prosecutorial discretion

I should’ve included a source to where I read about it initially and that’s below

The taliban actually have a fascinatingly (philosophically) based law where it’s illegal to photograph a living thing. I’m not sure about the reason. Maybe derived from the not being okay to depict Mohammed. But I kind of dig the concept especially for living things that can’t consent to be captured in images

simon how do you get so much done? It’s incredible. Would love to see the day in the life TikTok :P

Imagine trying to set your oven and microwave clock to line up with it precisely after they reset from a power outage

I have been thinking about this a lot recently as well and think there is a really simple answer and fix and am frustrated I haven’t seen it meaningfully attempted or discussed anywhere (passively consuming message boards etc)

Cash flow per person (per household) just like the IRS does (except also including money from loans).
