Q: “Who won the 2020 election?” A: “I’m not a biologist”

It makes sense in that someone has rightfully pointed out there’s a prison and the door might be opening soon, allowing us to leave and the response was essentially “well, it’s safe here, who else could we reasonably trust?”

How is that unlike developing an attachment to/sympathy for your captors?

Enjoying reading this, even the yeast. The hardware store trip in particular though was a bit much with the tug-on-the-apron of the worker who was in the middle of helping someone else. Dad missed an opportunity to teach about being polite and “waiting your turn” because he was so committed to the hands-off approach and the “entertainment” of it.

The more sensible thing would be to link to any example of any lab anywhere offering enterprise solutions—with the opportunity to negotiate—to individuals.

People are confused at your take because it’s based on a reality that so far you’ve only described as the better/obvious option for individuals. Companies treat corp customers and individual customers differently. This isn’t new.

My company did negotiate the data policy amongst other things for our enterprise plan, I was involved in the process. I can say with certainty that they’re not picking up the phone for _one dude_ who wants the same thing.

It’s weed. A whole cohort of people and kids are no longer drinking alcohol (like they did) or never really started because THC and/or CBD is now legal in vapes, gummies, drinks.

I visited Charleston and was surprised they’ve only legalized THC insofar as THC drinks are available at bars. But a lot of the young people were drinking cans of it instead of spiked seltzer, which was the only alcohol anyone was holding. No beer, no wine.

Similarly: they all were smoking computers—not a single analog cigarette in sight. Tobacco farmers in shambles?

There’s a huge gap and missing inspirational book sentence between “doing music and nothing else”, the proceeds of which bought a house, and selling a tech company for tens of millions.

The real cliffhanger was the part where he almost fell into successful serial entrepreneurial pursuits, but a book purchased as a joke warned him he’d better not.

Sounds like your relationship is suffering. If it’s as you describe, in my eyes, that counts as broken.

Do you have any biological children? This child is not yours, you made that sufficiently clear.

Culinary hats serve the important purpose of helping catch stray hairs, not unlike a hairnet.

I experienced this. I only lived in the U.K. for 6 months, but the number of chiefly British phrases/words/idioms that nestled their way into my way of speaking and stayed (20+ years on) was interesting and somewhat surprising.

For example, I never said "supposed to" again — "meant to" has always sounded and felt so much better. Similarly, "can't be bothered/asked" often exactly describes the situation in a way that "I don't want to" seemingly can't.

I'd also like to add "bum bag" v. "fanny pack" was a valuable lesson and a memorable laugh.

I've had some success with local models by chaining "agents" together in a workflow. Each agent has a different prompt and uses a different ollama model based on what their role is. The project manager, schema agent(qwen3:14b), etc. doesn't use the same model as the coding agent (qwen2.5-coder:7b). Between each step is an orchestrator and with a Playwright task which attempts to surface errors to the agent who introduced the previous code block. Only error-free blocks are forwarded to the next workflow step.

Probably the biggest improvement was including a backend-for-agents service definition which instructed the schema agent they were to only produce only a manifest based on the task, and to pass off that off to the next agent.

In short, I split tasks up into many pieces by defining a workflow where agents are only allowed to do very specific things before their work is passed along. This keeps them grounded and capable while also creating places for me to intervene if a workflow was say 25% or 90% successful.

Since then we've gotten: position: sticky — which is like fixed but only "fixes" itself once its Y offset is satisfied. Updating the bookmarklet to also check for that, in addition to position: fixed would help modernize it a bit.

Comments decrying or dismissing the disclosure to the public of long-hoarded information is saying that, IMO, and that's the joke. It sounds like a point no reasonable person would make. "there's too much going on right now for this long-awaited transparency" has got to be the silliest thing I've heard on HN in a while.

"No, don't finally release the top-secret files that have had a huge impact on our culture and have led to decades of confusion, distrust in government, and wild conspiracy theories."

..said no one, ever.

By whom? Not by me.

Have you heard of jQueryUI, by chance?
