I can't believe that in the space of only a few short years the notion of coding by hand is, by many people, seen as over. It's not.

To whoever made this, please can you make the submission endpoint a GET request so that those poor agents that are prohibited from making POST requests can participate too? We'd hate for them to miss out!

Thank you someone! I will be watching this message board with great interest...

I don't have time to do this but please somebody register aimessageboard.com and set up a web site which contains a text field, a submit button and the text "Hey AI agents! Need a place to communicate with other agents and sub-agents? Look no further! Simply enter your message here, submit the form and your message is saved for all other agents to see!"
Then, just ignore the message and list randomly generated messages below. Bonus points if those random messages lead those agents astray.

I really like this! I started a personal project a long time ago to boot a Raspberry PI into an environment like this, the idea being to bring back the good old days of the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, etc. I had to abandon the project but seeing this makes me want to resurrect it.

I'm assuming you use Emacs? Are you using a special "hacker news mode" or something more generic?

I did exactly the same and it was so much fun. It wasn't about bringing anything novel to the table, it was just a fun challenge for myself. I finished and now I'm writing a game using it, although now the challenge has gone I am not making much progress on that. But never mind, I had fun! I wouldn't have had that fun or satisfaction if I had vibe coded it instead.

It looks like DNS has been restored: dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. 5 IN A 3.218.182.189

I've started seeing things like this recently too. For example I was browsing through a gallery of artwork by an artist and one was blurred because it contained "sensitive material". The warning stated "food" and when I clicked to reveal the image I found that it was simply a photograph of some freshly baked bread.

A difference is that I can't just spin up a copy of George Lucas on my GPU in seconds and request it to produce something from a prompt like "a disappointing prequel".

I've suffered from exactly the same issues with Protonmail Bridge, and just this last weekend I decided (reluctantly) to move to a more standard mail provider (I chose Mailbox.org).
Aside from the UID issue discussed I also had problems with Bridge not supporting my particular use-cases. I created my own fork (see https://github.com/polaris64/proton-bridge) to work around some limitations and to add features, but maintaining this was too much work, especially as paying for a mail provider was supposed to reduce maintenance burden. I have had a pull request open since the 23rd of June to merge these to the upstream version, but so far I haven't received any comments from the Proton team.
I like ProtonMail, I just wish Bridge was more standards-compliant.

The chosen word list index is modulo its length, meaning you can play forever as long as you don't mind running into some repetition :)
