This is like somebody with a construction job who buys a new $100,000 truck - just because you paid that much to do your work doesn't mean somebody couldn't have accomplished the same with 1/5th the expense.

It's more like saying 'I don't care if monsanto goes under because I will save my own seeds to plant next year's crops'.

Seconding this! It's a great pairing.

In fact, having a physicalized 3D representation of the cities is IMHO antithetical to the text. I don't think OP ever stopped to ask if there was more to Calvino's work than 'cool city descriptions'.

The joke's on us, today's highly rewarding LLM language tics are tomorrow's vernacular (ALLMVE?)

Here in Austin, I'm stuck calling an uber and hoping I get a Waymo. When does that deal expire?

IME: Cycling bibs and shorts from knockoff amazon brands seem to be of equal quality to entry-level name brand stuff (pearl izumi) at a fraction of the price. Plain underwear, on the other hand, has serious want of quality vs 'real' athleisure brands (nike, underarmor, hanes). I was surprised to have such different experiences with two similar product categories.

Love this, it's like Randall Munroe x Lynda Barry

About time somebody started flooding the millennial nostalgia collectibles market with fakes.

Ah yes, my first love. I remember creating a quiz game based on greek mythology, and a little RPG where I realized the power of exponential functions by wrecking my power curve.

I don't agree with everything this piece concludes, but I do admire getting to read through a whole HN article without feeling the sheen of AI co-authorship.

I actually realized last night that everything that got me excited about the internet circa 2013 is actually way easier now, fun little one-off websites are far more doable, but we've lost the zeitgeist perhaps. It makes me wanna move back to NYC and go to BrooklynJS again.

I started doing this a few years ago, it works a treat with non-junior engineers. With the right testing in place, review becomes more about communicating the ideas clearly rather than gatekeeping.

If you go outside and they are burning witches, it's best to go along with it.

I really miss the old way of doing things. I know it was a maintenance nightmare, but I only really value having an iphone app with native notifications that lets me see exactly the same stuff I would see on my laptop. I don't manage a ton of agents, I typically have one main task I am focusing on and possibly another smaller task on the back burner.
