I believe our current leader with 4.2424242424242426e+27s may be cheating. (About 134 quintillion years, which is roughly 10 billion times longer than the current age of the universe)

It's not really an "open lovable". I mean, there is of course a NextJS repo as part of it, but you need to bring your own API keys to an AI provider, as well as e2b.dev (sandbox, requir…

> For everything I don’t like doing, AI is phenomenally good. Take design, for instance. I've seen this sentiment quite a bit; I think it's really baked into human psyche. I think we unde…

I have a funny story: I went to go to a notion doc and just intuitively pressed command-O in the app to open the notion doc I wanted. Of course that command doesn’t open notion docs—what that does is …

Another less commonly discussed option is community solar (also called offsite solar). It's especially attractive if the roof line of your house isn't ideal for solar panels or if you expect…

The Warp terminal[1] is excellent for this type of thing. In agent mode, you just describe what you want to have happen and it generates the proper command(s) (that you can approve before running). I …

I hope so! The Nuxt adapters and provider pattern are amazing! Its truly impressive how well done it all is and how portable Nuxt is and how other projects have been able to use a lot of the same OSS …

Curious if there is anyone here who genuinely sees this as short-term pain / long-term gain for American economic interests. That is of course the political angle, but I've yet to see an eco…

I can absolutely imagine this much knowledge on tap making us more impatient and less resilient. When I was a kid, there was already a bit of "why do I even need to know how to do this when calcu…

That's the only environmental hope I've been able to hang onto. It's now cheaper in most places[1] for net new energy installations to NOT use fossil fuels. I knew environmentally consc…

And man it's another monthly subscription. I'm not mad at them for finding a gap in the market and putting a business around it. I'm mad at Apple for leaving that gap... hopefully built…
