And a Diablo 5 in 2029? https://youtu.be/GxCN_AKYtts?is=AgY1pqrkutISphr1
jzig··on Show HN: KidScreen, a finite YouTube shelf chosen by parents
Agree with other commenters this needs a better landing page with some screens or a video demo. Especially for a product where building trust with your family would be a necessity.
jzig··on Slow breathing modulates brain function and risk behavior
Indeed, a lot of aspiration there.
jzig··on Creatine raises brain energy levels and slows cognitive decline: study
Sorry just seeing this. NSF provides their own index. The certification guarantees a label is what it says it is. I don't generally care about branding and let the certification + drug (creatine) do the talking. IIRC evidence points to monohydrate does the job well and no need to fuss with other things like micronized of proprietary creapure.

jzig··on Peopleless economy? Not technically impossible
You just described the plot of Alien: Earth!
jzig··on A backdoor in a LinkedIn job offer
I don't have friends, therefore I must use LinkedIn to get a job. Hooray!
jzig··on 4 things to know about the new sunscreen ingredient the FDA approved
Thank you for sharing your experience. Any idea If I search for Kinesys spray product on the American Amazon site will it be the same? What are the active ingredients?
jzig··on My Agent Skill for Test-Driven Development
Pattern-based testing can theoretically reduce the token cost?
jzig··on Creatine raises brain energy levels and slows cognitive decline: study
Anything NSF certified
jzig··on Is AI causing a repeat of frontend’s lost decade?
Agree and disagree. When did designers become the gatekeepers in what a page should look like and how it should behave? I never liked the pattern of leadership and design throwing a Figma over the fence and the saying “now make it”. Have seen plenty of it in agency work. If anything, AI has leveled the playing field - the onus can fall on both of them to do the doing or fess up that they need the other.
jzig··on Darkbloom – Private inference on idle Macs
[fix: remove hardcoded API_KEYS ](https://github.com/Layr-Labs/d-inference/pull/39/changes)
jzig··on Claude Opus 4.7 Model Card
At what point along the 1M window does context become "long" enough that this degradation occurs?
jzig··on The Zettelkasten method in Obsidian
Can anyone share agent skills that specifically help with the organizing, structuring, and linking of Obsidian files like a Karpathy style wiki? (Eg taking /raw content and processing it following some protocol)
jzig··on Launch HN: Captain (YC W26) – Automated RAG for Files
Does Captain use GraphRAG?
jzig··on How I write software with LLMs
lol that is still “how you’re talking to them that affects the results” just more specific
jzig··on Digg is gone again
> None of it was enough. When you can't trust that the votes, the comments, and the engagement you're seeing are real, you've lost the foundation a community platform is built on.

What is HN doing differently then?

jzig··on Launch HN: Captain (YC W26) – Automated RAG for Files
What about OpenSearch, Onyx, Glean Search, Kore.AI, Sana Labs?
jzig··on Launch HN: Captain (YC W26) – Automated RAG for Files
This is an interesting product, thanks for sharing. Can you elaborate on some of your competitors in this landscape and what you might do differently compared to each one?
jzig··on Launch HN: Captain (YC W26) – Automated RAG for Files
> spotty RAG

:O

jzig··on Claude now creates interactive charts, diagrams and visualizations
Unable to reproduce the recipe image in the iOS app. It first gave a normal text answer. Then when referencing this blog post it produced a wonky HTML artifact.
jzig··on Meta acquires Moltbook
> The moderator bot *clang* enforces community standards.
jzig··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
When did legality apply to this administration?
jzig··on Show HN: Steerling-8B, a language model that can explain any token it generates
What does alignment even mean? What is being aligned and what is it aligning to?
jzig··on In the AI gold rush, tech firms are embracing 72-hour weeks
Same on all accounts. If I found a tool or system that increases my productivity by 50% what incentive do I have to pass those gains on to leadership?
jzig··on Claude Code daily benchmarks for degradation tracking
It’s the afternoon slump. The AI needs a cup of coffee and to doomscroll for half an hour!
jzig··on The future of software engineering is SRE
I don't think the two are mutually exclusive! e.g. a T-shaped product engineer on one side and a T-shaped SRE on the other. Both will kind of compact what used to be multiple roles/responsibilities together. The good news (and my prediction) IMO is the engineering won't be going away as much as the other roles.
jzig··on Show HN: Shadcn/UI theme editor – Design and share Shadcn themes
The only changes I see are colors but what if I want eg a different border radius on buttons or margin on labels or specific fonts on elements etc? I don’t find changing only the colors of components particularly valuable but would like to see more variance in the actual shapes and looks of things.
jzig··on Claude Code on the web
Does the feature need to be toggled on somewhere? I don’t see it on web nor iOS.
jzig··on State-based vs Signal-based rendering
Are Angular signals the same as Preact signals?
jzig··on Unix philosophy and filesystem access makes Claude Code amazing
Codex CLI doesn't have a plan mode right? So how are you planning?
