phgn··on Germany is not supporting ChatControl – blocking minority secured
Where and when did this happen?

Yes sorry a correction: you can criticise of course, but it carries no weight unless you are doing something too and have strategic advice to share.

Arguing online accomplishes nothing, but taking to the streets (even if non-optimally) just might.

If you'd join any Palestine protest community you'd see that's not true.

Mobilisation for every issue is increasing everywhere, and there is strong solidarity across movements. Because the genocide support is radicalising an entire generation who then join the other movements as well.

I'm very interested to hear if you have personal experience to the contrary. However if you are not involved in anything, then you have no right to criticise those who are.

I also want to note that the genocide is only possible because of our silence on the matter.

In my opinion it is relevant to "being proud" of the German state, which I'm personally unable to do because of the genocide support. I stated nothing more.

Why are you so upset about this?

phgn··on What are OKLCH colors?
I think you commented on the wrong post :)
phgn··on Genie 3: A new frontier for world models
So we cannot use this yet?

While watching the video I was just imagining the $ increasing by the second. But then it's not available at all yet :(

phgn··on Guess I'm a Rationalist Now
Very well put.

Thank you for sharing the link.

It's very hard for me to take anyone seriously who doesn't speak out against the genocide. They're usually arguing about imaginary problems.

("if the will exists" in the article puts the blame for the situation on one side, which is inacceptable)

Hey all: don't miss the music button in the bottom right!!

You can play classical music on the simulated instruments. This is the nicest thing I've seen in a long time.

phgn··on Launch HN: Just words (YC W24) – Optimize your product's copy for user growth
Why is all text lowercase on your website? I wouldn't want this in my product :)
phgn··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
Thank you!! :)

What kind of websites do you want to discover other than personal websites? Why not use general purpose web search?

phgn··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
Ohh, thank you! :)
phgn··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
Every page is eligible actually because we treat / as /about if /about is not present. Just try submitting your site :)

Another commenter here created a repo to track more standard webpages: https://github.com/jameschensmith/awesome-website-paths

For GitHub repos I'm not sure of any standardisation except README.md, LICENCE.md and CONTRIBUTING.md?

phgn··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
Yep definitely everyone add your /now site to nownownow.com too!

I feel like the directories each have a different purpose: aboutideasnow.com to connect people with similar ideas, nownownow.com as a personal look into people's lives.

Derek I sent you an email :)

phgn··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
This is so cool, thank you!!

Likely didn't find any reference of /ideas because we made it up :)

phgn··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
Oh, looks like the missing page detection went rogue in this case. It found the word "error" in your page and decided to use / instead of /about :)

I just fixed this, sorry!

phgn··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
Good idea, I just created https://github.com/lindylearn/aboutideasnow/issues/7 for this!
phgn··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
I agree!

What would you say is the most important then? The right people, or sticking with something for long enough?

phgn··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
Well the results are indeed "quite random"... A good test case to improve the spam filtering with :)

It seems to work much better with capital letters for some reason: https://aboutideasnow.com/?q=LLM

phgn··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
Mhh, I would love aboutideasnow.com to be interoperable with your project. Seems like you have more things planned!

The redirect option seems good, or supporting subpaths. If there's something I can do to help please write me an email [0] or open a GitHub issue! [1]

We just want more people to write about their ideas, and find others with similar ideas. It doesn't matter to me where that happens :)

Good luck, and thank you!

I personally really enjoy writing and updating my /now and /ideas pages [0], it's quite clarifying to list the things you really care about :)

That's fine, good that we index all three page types.

I'm wishing you all the best in San Jose! :)

Yep but there is a fallback to metascraper [0] which does check the HTML tags. However the fallback didn't work in case GPT returns a 1970 date -- I just fixed this! [1]

I think you can now remove the date from your post content and it should still work. If you submit your website again it should do a re-scrape if you changed the content text. Thanks for catching this :)
