sddhrthrt··on The end of the middle-class traveler in Hawaii is near
I don't understand the narrow field of view of this article when it fails to talk about Hawaii as a place that became unaffordable to its own people, after being colonized in literally the author's father's era.

"Too expensive for middle class tourists" - really? Shut up.

sddhrthrt··on It’s been a very hard year

"AI products" that are being built today are amoral, even by capitalism's standards, let alone by good business or environmental standards. Accepting a job to build another LLM-selling product would be soul-crushing to me, and I would consider it as participating in propping up a bubble economy.

Taking a stance against it is a perfectly valid thing to do, and the author is not saying they're a victim due to no doing of their own by disclosing it plainly. By not seeing past that caveat and missing the whole point of the article, you've successfully averted your eyes from another thing that is unfolding right in front of us: majority of American GDP is AI this or that, and majority of it has no real substance behind it.

sddhrthrt··on American capitalism is being remade by state power
Um, how does the author not even consider the type of capitalism in US today as Oligarchic Capitalism? These analysts hold their relevance in this declining system just by refusing to acknowledge what it is.
sddhrthrt··on Phind 2: AI search with visual answers and multi-step reasoning
I still don't understand why these models can't be more "trustworthy", but I also don't understand the theory, I'd love to hear what you all think about this.

I asked it a question that's pretty subjective and culturally specific, and I appreciate that I got a reasonable answer back. The question was "should I?" and the answer was "definitely, don't miss it" in three different ways. However, I found that the literal sources it quoted didn't have the same opinion it expressed to me so convincingly. I asked a clarifying question and it goes "okay so I read the material, and it actually says it's optional".

So why not read the material? I wonder if it could even embed the website in the results, giving the website the traffic and ad space. I wonder if a meta browser is a better product for these tools.

Oh my god, I think this is the single best thing I've seen happen to open source world after linux distro options bombarding all over!

sddhrthrt··on My Girlfriend Dissociated and Forgot Who I Was
> "I know you," she said. "I love you." It meant a lot to hear those words.

Was this moment as sweet as that when you hear the words from someone you love for the first time? The anxiety of "will she remember that she loves me" ending at "I love you" must be amazing.

sddhrthrt··on Show HN: Keep, an app that helps you love how you spend every dollar
On windows phone, keeping on holding opens a right-click menu and I cant go ahead.
sddhrthrt··on Flappy Space Program
Perfect! Thats almost all the points covered, and it took me an hour to get to this. Although, I should say, it was more like a physics practical tutorial, I learnt to apply thrust at apogee, say, just by intuition. So since this game is based on physics, there has to be strategy.
sddhrthrt··on Rotate the world
India is distorted - Kashmir and all. You better be careful about the borders that are under dispute. I took into consideration that it's a low-res border, even then it's way off.

I dont know if the details of map itself are important or not, because I understand it's an exhibition of the interface itself. Just my opinion.

Now, that's the SketchUp, isn't it? ;)
sddhrthrt··on Want to learn to code? Don't copy and paste, type out other people's code
it probably helps more to type out the program in a logical order - in the order of execution, like a pre-order traversal of the (module-dependency) tree.

say, in c, you could type the main, and when there is a function call, go there and type it, understand, come back.. that way you get the flow of it and you'll understand the whole code in one go.

Yes, it helps to type.

sddhrthrt··on What do you think of my simple startup landing page?
More contrast on the site, please. Elegance of the fonts is just not visible. You could use better fonts, but that is my personal opinion again.

I think you have hit a sweet spot - with the Q&Opinion model, if you implement it well. I signed up!
