verse··on CursorBench 3.1
backwards X axis? is there a reason for that? it looks ridiculous
verse··on Show HN: Hallucinopedia
This page links to https://halupedia.com/observations-on-architectural-recursio...

Only problem I'm seeing is that you'd want pages to recognise when they're talking about the same thing, so that you don't have duplicates with slightly different titles and content. You'd want to avoid it re-introducing the same concept if it could refer to an existing matching concept on another page.

E.g. if I make another page https://halupedia.com/buildings-within-buildings-2, I'd expect it to refer to /buildings-within-buildings. Currently it doesn't mention it at all.

I'd also expect /architectural-recursion to mention Archibald Plinth, since he's the author of /observations-on-architectural-recursion. Instead, it mentions Archibald Flicker.

Maybe this can be solved with some kind of graph structure?

verse··on Show HN: Hallucinopedia
This is awesome, it feels a lot like the SCP Foundation wiki.

Here's one I just made: https://halupedia.com/buildings-within-buildings

verse··on Parallel agents in Zed
Fair point, the existing tools probably suck.

They'll definitely lose me though if the whole plan is to turn this into Codex running on GPUI.

verse··on Parallel agents in Zed
If you don't want to be looking at code, why download a code editor? Why not just use the Codex app?

Turning Zed into Codex alienates the existing user base who installed Zed because it's a code editor. If I wanted Codex I would have installed Codex.

verse··on Parallel agents in Zed
I personally don't love the idea of the default layout pushing aside my code and filetree to make space for AI tools

I really like Zed, I use it every day. But, if I'd seen this layout when I first installed, I never would have taken it seriously

I imagine this will push some new users away

verse··on Codegen is not productivity
It's really well written

verse··on Show HN: I built an SDK that scrambles HTML so scrapers get garbage
couldn't read the hero text on my phone

it's white text and the shader background is also mostly white

verse··on Bippy: React Internals Toolkit
you bet your sweet bippy I did
verse··on Ian's Shoelace Site
I was like 10 years old when I learned about the Ian Knot. I'm 28 now.

I remember showing my friends at school. They were shocked how fast I could tie my shoelaces.

I don't even remember the normal way you're supposed to tie them

I guess I just googled "how to x" for literally everything when I was a kid

verse··on Let's be honest, Generative AI isn't going all that well
I agree with you but I'd point out that unless you've read the book it's difficult to know if the answer you got was accurate or it just kinda made it up. In my experience it makes stuff up.

Like, it behaves as if any answer is better than no answer.

verse··on Ask HN: Why there is no demand for my SaaS when competition is killing it?
I need to see your website to give good advice
verse··on Ask HN: How do you learn Spanish guitar?
https://jamplay.com/

I used JamPlay more than 10 years ago, when I was about 15. I learned really fast. They teach you music theory too.

I always found really good resources to learn the things I wanted to learn back then, not sure how I did it!

verse··on Show HN: Compare salaries, tax, & living costs globally
Would be cool if I could just input salary in USD once and see the total savings in every city, a bit more like a spreadsheet
verse··on Ask HN: Which analytics platform do you use?
Update: for now I've decided on Umami, it works pretty well for what I need

https://umami.is/

verse··on Ask HN: Which analytics platform do you use?
oh I'd never heard of this! looks useful
verse··on There Is No Website
love this. it feels like the Stanley Parable! great job!
verse··on Magic UI: UI Library for Design Engineers
> isn't the point of design engineering to be capable of coming up with relatively original and innovative UI?

that's definitely why I got into it years ago, but it seems like it has lost it's meaning and been simplified into "engineer that likes design" or "engineer that wants to be good at design"

verse··on Keep Out – WebGL Game
I loved this game! I played until level 13 and unlocked and bought every weapon
verse··on Show HN: I made a Pinterest clone using SigLIP image embeddings
will post on twitter:

verse··on Show HN: I made a Pinterest clone using SigLIP image embeddings
ah! thank you for pointing this out. will fix
verse··on Show HN: I made a Pinterest clone using SigLIP image embeddings
I haven't done much testing or anything, but it seems to me that siglip "understands" what it's looking at more than CLIP

also no, I just put everything on Supabase and added pgvector. super easy:

verse··on Show HN: I made a Pinterest clone using SigLIP image embeddings
yeah. I actually wrote the logic for the layout myself (wasn't really happy with the available libraries). may open source this if people are interested!
verse··on Meta censors pro-Palestinian views on a global scale, report claims
> posting in the flamewar style

What is the flamewar style?

verse··on Ask HN: What are some non-obvious ways you've used ChatGPT to improve your life?
I told it to make a user persona. I described myself, and told it about things I'm into (youtube channels, forums, blogs etc). It made a full profile.

Then I asked it questions like "where does this person spend time online?" or "what do they enjoy doing in their free time?".

I actually discovered a few new places like this, e.g. r/depthhub

verse··on Show HN: Hacker News user blogroll
Love this, thanks for building it!
verse··on Display brighter-than-white color on Apple devices
Doesn't that kill your battery though?
verse··on Show HN: A social network to share articles you've read
I love the design of this site. nicely done
