opem··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
These people just doesn't have a good taste, imo.
opem··on Cloud in a Bottle: making self-hosting accessible to everyone
I think the gp is saying the exact opposite of what you gave an example for, and in line with what you are saying i.e. less technology.

one more thing is you tried both kamal and dokku, and then made a deliberate choice of sticking to k3s because suits you the best rather than making a mindless descision about using k3s, which most people do!

opem··on The creator of Jujutsu has joined ERSC
so most of my guesses about ersc are true, except it is only for enterprise? or do individuals also get access eventually?
opem··on The creator of Jujutsu has joined ERSC
this is a very legit question. my few cents:

I don't know how experienced you are with jj, but one thing I can say for sure is jj offers significant ux improvements over git and they plan to have a backend eventually. we might see the first implementation from ersc. and from their website I see they are already taking things like agents into account from day one. so we might be in the verge of getting something that scales better with modern day workload?

excited for what you guys would be coming up with ;)

btw, did Martin leave google?

opem··on Good Culture Is the Biggest Productivity Hack, Not AI
I feel like this and all the AI productivity things could be boiled down to one simple rule: AI just amplifies whatever you already have.
opem··on AWS Acquires DuckLabs
It would have been a perfect story/stack if they'd have rather joined duckduckgo ;)
opem··on AWS Acquires DuckLabs
Huge moment for the people behind duckdb. I've been using duckdb since the days of its preview releases and I knew they were gonna make it big. So, this one is well deserved. I hope duckdb's governance continues to stay under duckdb foundation.
opem··on Pgbot: A 5.9 MB read-only Postgres tool for humans and agents
That we all can see and read from your tools's homepage. Why are you repeating the features here again?
opem··on I'm becoming AI-blind
These days all I see is, people on the sending side produce huge amount of AI generated text with zero understanding and the people on the recieveing side feed that same text into some other (or perhaps same) AI to scavenge meaning from it. And they do this so much so, that I some time wonder, if we could invent a high density wire/binary format for AI outputs and enable direct agent to agent communication to save some energy and bandwidth.
opem··on I'm becoming AI-blind
AI is just a good permutation/combination engine that tries to act smart with help of statistics. At best I only see AI as, 1. An autocomplete on steroid, 2. Good search/correlation engine
opem··on Ask HN: Alternatives to GitHub
Are you guys working on jj support?
opem··on RayforceDB – a pure C analytics database with a Lisp-like syntax
At this point, I see an AI generated site I quit.

this might be good stuff, but I'm not even interested anymore!

opem··on AI companies are shredding rare books
Its ironic how the whole systems reacts when someone like open library tries to actually do digital preservation
opem··on Government orders GitHub to remove Bluetooth-based chat app Bitchat: Jack Dorsey
If your country's security depends on someone on the internet taking their product off for the whole world something must be wrong with the people in power. This is censorship and suppression at its peak.

Fun fact: They have deployed facial recognition vans, AI smart glasses and illegally tracking the protesters (most of which are students) without their consent to threaten and deter them.

If they had administered properly people wouldn't have been to the streets and spread the virus in the first place!
opem··on Gleam Is Now on Tangled
GP just created an account to shitpost about ATProto out of desperation, what else can we expect from them. look at the username and account age, XD
opem··on Gleam Is Now on Tangled
Not sure how good of a social protocol it is, but I see ATProto/PDS as a possible succesor to solid [1], if they implment the permissioned data access model correctly. Which would certainly have a lot of good usecases, beyond social apps.

[1] solid: https://solidproject.org/about

opem··on Gleam Is Now on Tangled
lol, true! Even for a single side project, that probably no one is gonna use, I often struggle for hours while choosing a name, meanwhile these folks...
opem··on Gleam Is Now on Tangled
Except it isn't just working as a federation protocol here, it is also acting as an identity provider and a data store for you social interaction on a repo.
opem··on Gleam Is Now on Tangled
Don't open the story, don't follow the links, and last but not the least don't read the texts!
opem··on Gleam Is Now on Tangled
Exactly, even if one doesn't know about either of these things (gleam & tangled), all it would take is one or two searches or even better they just visit the homepage. I suppose people have become so used to reading llm generated bluff that simple things don't appeal/make sense to them anymore.
opem··on Gleam Is Now on Tangled
Yeah it should definitely start with a bit of explanation, perhaps, it should start with what this site (hn, aka, hackernews) is even about!
opem··on Waldi: A quiet place to write, and to be read
It seem to have rss, though. Perhaps that can help with the curation but at that point it becomes no different than a blog template/framework.
opem··on Thanks HN for 15 years of support and helping me find my life's work
I see, that is something I have always held off myself from doing. Glad to hear that people reply!
opem··on Thanks HN for 15 years of support and helping me find my life's work
How did you connect with people from hn and made irl friendships with them?
opem··on Mysteries of Telegram Data Centers (2022)
Exactly, signal is decent on all the platforms, while mobile clients for whatsapp is somewhat tolerable if you ignore the constant AI push. But the web/desktop client is a pain in the ass to use.
opem··on Mysteries of Telegram Data Centers (2022)
Not at all, telegram clients in every platform are much much faster than whatsapp, signal etc. on the same platform. Although, this is more visible on older devices and on poor network conditions, I clearly see a difference in my newer devices too.
opem··on Mysteries of Telegram Data Centers (2022)
I'll add a few more:

- insanely fast search, chat history browsing and in app navigation - unlimited unencrypted cloud storage, your chats and docs always stays available - ability to send very large files - ability to host large video and voice chats - chat automation - auto translation and transcription - mini apps - open source client, with lots of customization - phone number less sign up (you can purchase a burner number from them and sign up with that, I guess it costs their crypto (ton) tho) - sending gifts

opem··on Show HN: Nectar, a Rust-like React that compiles to WebAssembly
Demos are not usable on android/chromium. Can't scroll or interact with the elements, clicking the buttons works but only sometimes and the rest of the time flashes a skyblue overlay.
