hermiod··on Htmx vs. React: A Complete Comparison – Semaphore
That's certainly part of the domain of react applications. But there are a lot of react applications that aren't (really) in the domain of HTMX, like "local first" applications or other applications that rely heavily on browser js APIs.
hermiod··on ChatGPT for Teams
Any chance you could post some comparisons between Mistral medium and gpt-4 turbo? I'm curious where you think it's more impressive, I hadn't spent the time to evaluate it yet.
hermiod··on Prompt Engineering Is Snake Oil
I get that but it's been off many organizations' radar completely until 3.5 became available.
hermiod··on Prompt Engineering Is Snake Oil
Hasn't gpt-3.5-turbo fine tuning been out for only a couple weeks?

How fast are people supposed to pick up these bleeding edge capabilities (like productized fine-tuning) when even the class of technology is so new?

hermiod··on The year Lou Reed gave up on music
Lulu is Metallica's only good album though.
hermiod··on Ask HN: Problems for the next decade?
Amazed not to see Biorisk in the comments.

A pandemic brought a ton of global infrastructure to it's knees, and it could have been so much worse.

What if that happened again?

hermiod··on Lab leak most likely origin of Covid-19 pandemic, U.S. agency now says
Just because something isn't useful to everyone, doesn't mean it isn't useful to someone.

The original claim was that election prediction is useless -- are you willing to concede that election prediction isn't useless?

hermiod··on Can Elon Musk Make the Math Work on Owning Twitter? It’s Dicey
Pay-for-verification could make verification a negative signal for an account. I imagine people who are marketing themselves heavily will pay for the blue checkmark, while public figures who just use Twitter for fun will pass.

I'm not sure where he's going with this!

hermiod··on Your UberEats courier is (not) riding a bike
I imagine my mom (who isn't super familiar with uber/etc.) getting really concerned that what the app says doesn't match what's happening in real life.

Imagine you're sitting outside, looking confused and waiting for your food to be delivered. Someone from a car asks you to approach their car, without providing any context of delivery/my name/etc. I've had this exact interaction many times, and I could imagine someone feeling unsafe in that kind of situation.

hermiod··on Show HN: Jot: Rapid note management for the terminal, inspired by Obsidian
I just wrote a super simple nvim plugin in fennel that allows you to go straight to your daily note using your existing obsidian config. https://git.sr.ht/~hermiod/obsidianlite.nvim

What I really want to do is build a language server for "backlinking markdown". In that case any editor could consume it to get references, go to definition, etc. Does that sound like the right experience?
