linear.app - popular kanban / pm software [edited original to be less ambiguous]
comment
I tried HTMx a while ago and felt like I hit a limit pretty quickly where things were getting buggy and it was hard to track down why. Now I'm building a linear.app replacement with Claude and Co…

As everyone is saying, it was already down-trending before AI, and probably experts exchange traffic and whatever came before looks similar Also not sure exactly when they added the huge popup[0] that…

I love e-sims for travel and easy switching, but I also switched my primary number back from an e-sim to a physical sim after I realised what a pain it is to use it in another phone (my provider requi…

It should be treated kind of the same as writing a report after a glass of wine. Probably no one really cares but "sorry that doesn't count because I was intoxicated when I wrote that bit&qu…

I have time machine and just let them fly with --dangerously-skip-permissions on my Mac. Worst thing it's done is back up a database, delete the database, and then run git clean locally which als…

Thanks! Would be interesting to compare with a looser approach, I use shorter prompts that take me a few seconds to write and it's also built some impressive stuff for me, I've mainly been u…

This is an interesting opinion but I would like to see some proof or at least more details. What plans are you using, what did you build, what was the output from both on similar inputs, what's a…

The only way to make money from business is by bundling or unbundling. Netflix made money by bundling, now others are making money by unbundling. We'll get another netflix era in the next decade …

This is nice that you know about the issue and are working on it. I really appreciate all the new "Get api key" buttons across google ai products that already makes it much easier than setti…

Can't make everyone happy!

It's really nice to see long-form, obviously human-written blogs from people deep into the LLM space - maybe us writers will be around for a while still in spite of all the people saying we'…

The site is in his name but it has a lot of content - I don't think he writes it all. The stuff I've seen from him directly is mainly in German so I think often people on his team write e.g.…

It's a stylized S but it seems to be the official 'SanDisk' - the same image is on https://shop.sandisk.com/products/usb-flash-drives/sandisk-e... , linked in …
comment
Didn't look a lot into this but I think the fact that humans are willing to do this in the "cents per thousand" or something range means that it's really hard to get much interest …

Haha I've asked LLMs to avoid fluff in a prompt and gotten exactly a heading like that one wkth "(no fluff)" before. Otherwise I've followed DeepNote since they started. I agree wi…
comment
I think that's an over-simplistic view - at the moment there are many, many software engineers hired by companies who are betting on AI being madly profitable. If those expectations change, we co…

Kinda sad if 3000 words is now considered "too long to read through rather use as reference" but some interesting points, I'd be keen to see an even longer version with actual examples …

More good content with a bunch of GPT noise added, obvious from patterns like No database. No cookies. No localStorage Themes chosen. Languages selected. Plugins enabled. Which have the pattern of rhe…

I would think the most obvious explanation is that they are used as part of the watermark to help OpenAI identify text - i.e. the model isn't doing it at all but final-pass process is adding in s…
