As a kid, I could type their URL from muscle memory with my eyes closed - that’s how much I loved this site.

Good times.

That was a lot of fun. Brought back some nostalgia :)

Yup - In the end, it’s still just a tool that adheres to the steering (or lack thereof) of the user.
Agreed. Projects like these tend to feel shortsighted.

Lately, I lean towards keeping a vanilla setup until I’m convinced the new thing will last beyond being a fad (and not subsumed by AI lab) or beyond being just for niche use cases.

For example, I still have never used worktrees and I barely use MCPs. But, skills, I love.

Yeah, anyone who’s used LLMs for a while would know that this conversation is a lost cause and the only option is to start fresh.

But, a common failure mode for those that are new to using LLMs, or use it very infrequently, is that they will try to salvage this conversation and continue it.

What they don’t understand is that this exchange has permanently rotted the context and will rear its head in ugly ways the longer the conversation goes.

Well, imagine this was controlling a weapon.

“Should I eliminate the target?”

“no”

“Got it! Taking aim and firing now.”

This is cool! Nice work OP.

There’s something about seeing it as chat messages that makes it feel more tangible.

This is such a scary, dystopian thought. Straight out of a sci fi novel
This is a Black Mirror episode that writes itself lol

I’m glad there was closure to this whole fiasco in the end

For the few that find this acceptable (or even celebrate this), then they must also be able to say:

“If I say something that someone doesn’t like, then they are justified in killing me.”

And accept it.

Ironically, I ignored Apple’s Reminders app as an options for years. It’s now my daily operating system. Lots of simple table-stakes features out of the box that elevate the experience above just using a simple Notes app

Show HN: Don't Lose Your Cool – Use this when your coworkers piss you off

Hi HN,I've been tinkering with GPT-3 over the past week and it's inspiring a bunch of fun ideas. And this lil toy app is one of them:It basically turns that angry email or Slack message you want to send to that co-worker that's gotten on your last nerve into something more polite and professional.It lets you say what you mean without losing your cool (or your job).Released it on Twitter last...
