It's not only AI that uses em-dashes, but AI only seems to use em-dashes. And there's an ellipsis ascii char in there too (not 3 periods in sequence, a single ellipsis char), somewhat of another AI tell.

I thought HN was mostly people who hated doing 'the thing' and would procrastinate until they build a system that does 'the thing' and then they would work tirelessly to never do 'the thing' themselves ever again.

Sid Meier's Elevator Manager was such a great game... so much nostalgia.

User: what is the shortest route from my home to the super market?

AI: the user wants to know, how do I make the super market my new home. Failing that, how do I make my home a super market.

This looks pretty neat, it looks like the shape of something I want to use. I'm having trouble managing my entire project, and from reading Buzz' project description, I think I understand what my issue is: a lack feature channels. I'm purely using claude-code and I use a bespoke session-wrap command at the end of every major development or as I approach 50% context window. And then in a fresh session I use a recontextualize command to figure out the trajectory of the prior work.

I think Buzz' use of channels and rooms is better, since each feature/concept has its own development pace, velocity, and history. I'll give it a shot.

Do you have any examples comparing different agent workflows vs Buzz? Would love to understand more how you foresee people using this.

Typescript is also hugely represented. My projects are TS in a big way, where I have no experience with it at all.

I believe there's room for a short-form, raw, AI-free, audio-only platform organized around continuous streams of 5-10 second audio clips.

But before I build the real thing, I'm running a validation to test the core question: will strangers actually record? I'm trying to validate one single prompt "I love you", anonymous, 5-second cap. The clips get mixed and published to a listening page when the window closes. You can enter your email to be notified when the experiment is over. I try to make the recording process as low friction as possible, so give it a try.

Any and all feedback are welcome.

And to all a good tax-writeoff.

The accounting only works if you assume the counterfactual is "same industrial civilization, minus fossil fuels." But there's a strong path-dependency argument that cheap hydrocarbons were the bootstrap not just for energy, but for the plastics, fertilizers, and chemical feedstocks that made modern manufacturing and agriculture possible in the first place. Renewables are downstream of that industrial base. You can't net out the externalities against a baseline that wouldn't exist without them.

Excessive speeders in the absence of speed-limit enforcement just creates neighbors that don't mind their neighborhood being consumed by speed bumps/dips, I think there's an analogy here in residential areas. And if you have a lot of children in your neighborhood, there IS a 'xx-phobia' for speeders. But speed bumps and dips are an absolute nuisance and sometimes dangerous, so just having cameras identify and a system willing to punish speeders would absolutely be the preference.

"Why don't you just read my mind and do what I wanted you to do in the first place?"

Rule by law rather than rule of law?

Thinking of it in terms of vector similarity does seem appropriate, and then definition of similarity suddenly comes into debate: If you don't get Harrison Ford, but a different well-known actor along with everything else Indiana-Jones, what is that? Do you flatten the vector similarity matrix to a single infringement-scale?
