Is this AI generated? Pretty impressive if that is the case

I think his point is that AI is not creating new problems. It may solve "the Riemann hypothesis" but may completely fail to posit a "Mythos hypothesis" which is vital to advance the field. In fact, achieving the former may make the latter even harder because it will disincentivize production of human mathematics which has till now been the only source of "interesting" problems.

FWIW this is my understanding of his argument and I am not a mathematician.

Most mom and pop stores (Kirana stores) in India cannot get a PoS device easily. UPI solves this problem by being much easier for merchants to onboard and start accepting payments with just a QR code instead of a PoS device.

From this we can see a few patterns: https://www.npmleaderboard.org/

Node.js doesn't have good support for regex, handling files, streams, serving static html, routing, operations on lists/dicts.

The problem is that node.js doesn't have a good standard library so one must rely on external packages to build even basic apps.

This looks interesting. What I don't understand is: how was it implemented without a server relay. I am no expert in WebRTC (or P2P for that matter) but I always assumed that there needs to be a central location for users to exchange their addresses and only then a P2P connection can be established. This must be the case here as well right? Or am I mistaken?

I am working on a standalone CLI tool that can do analytics find it here: https://github.com/nafey/minimalytics

Motivation for the project:

> This project was born out of the need for a lightweight analytics tool to track internal services on a resource-constrained VPS. Most SaaS analytics products either lack the scalability or exceed their free tier limits when tracking millions of events per month. Minimalytics addresses this gap by offering a minimalist, high-performance solution for resource-constrained environments.

I recently did a Show HN which you can find on my profile.

Thank you! Copying and processing the sqlite is always an option but I agree something like CSV exports are a good feature to add.
