Agree but also want to point out that this started with the SEO boom of the last decade where sites started rambling so they would keep you on the site longer and get more SEO "points", they were articles meant for a robot to catch humans.

AI has made it even worse and lots of content on the web, for both these reasons, is not worth you time (now wonder users don't read most of the text on our apps!)

Love these but curious: they sell access to this UI but can't I point an agent at this and have it copy these? Or is it better quality outputs to use the MCP?

SVG is code

Nice site but it fails at its job. You can't ask for $50-100 without sharing more than a single tiny preview that doesn't show the whole thing or have all of it work. I'm not gunna spend that much money to hope it works, esp with something that was likely made with Claude therefore I can make myself.

If the author reads this: 1. Your web design skills are awesome 2. You need to break down the problem / use cases clearly 3. Show outputs 4. Show more screenshots

OR

Make it cheap enough i'd rather just take a swing.

Yosh is that you?

Something else I've noticed, garbage cans are disappearing.

I had some trash in my car I needed to get rid of: McDonalds? None outside, Tacobell? none outside, CVS? none outside OR inside, The entire rest of that shopping center? nope.

Luckily gas stations still have them but its sad to see these community service type things disappear.

I also feel this way with brands. I hate going to a hotel and the signs trying to be cute "Welcome home". No I'm not home.

Theres definitely a psychological gag reflex built in us when something foreign is pretending to be human/friendly. A version of the uncanny valley that sends warning signals in our brain that they are lying and therefore dangerous.

Honestly they could implement both of these things. Help the user DO an action that requires a purchase (referral link, or pay to be suggested source) and advertise on related searches.

Same I was expecting to see the materials all ready to be purchased at Home Depot, that would actually be useful. One click buy all the stuff we just talked about.

Interesting that the pricing page (and so I'm guessing the other data) hasn't been updated since 2022.

Yeah reminds me of how Kick seems to be winning over the Twitch creators. Now Kick isn't a shining beacon by any means, its got gambling issues for one, but I do think this is one area the big companies are vulnerable in: Rev share.

If a new incumbent can raise some money, offer creators some money and a path to a higher cut than their competitors, they can win big.

I am a great example of how true this is. I wanted an electric car, I wanted a BMW for a long time, I tried to convince myself to buy one for months but couldn't get over how ugly they were. Why do companies destroy their iconic designs when they go electric? So sick of "space car" designs for electric.

+1 even if its vibe coded, would love to hear how you tackled the project. Great stuff!

It always comes back to game theory haha

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't people still ultimately accountable? You may be able to sue your lawyer for malpractice or they may lose their ability to practice (report them to bar) but in the end no matter where you get your advice from, you are accountable. Question is: who do you trust with it?

Like you said, its a no brainer to use both. Use it as a tool to expand, deepen, or teach. Same with doctors and AI. There may be a point where you build enough trust in the outputs and your understanding of them but until then its best to use it as a tool not put your whole outcome in it.

Agreed. This isn't punk this just helps the bad guys. Society needs to know what content is AI generated and what is not.

Ah yes another company disregarding the Streisand effect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect.

No one in my circles said this, now I've heard it twice now through headlines of Microsoft trying to punish or block it.

Now I've started saying it too.

I remember doing my usual prep, did research, wrote down my range. Then they hit me with a number over my top level range that it totally threw me off balance. I should have asked for more, worst case they say no, but I just wasn't prepared for a number over my research and data.

imo giving a range before the offer stage, just gives them a potential reason not to waste their time on you. Thats what they are screening for. So its always a bad idea. Wait for them to want you, then you A. Have leverage and B. don't get cut out early. Even if you don't get the job, having an offer is data you can carry forward. If you are so blessed to have multiple at the same window, great, but even if there are months in-between, you can push the next company that much more with confidence.

Today my plan is simple: 1. If they ask early - I hit them with the market range, lets see if theres a strong fit and we can work something out. I'm not worried etc 2. Do your research, don't just pull cold numbers but factor in your situation as much as possible. Put $ to any benefits, how much is it worth to you? Put that in a spreadsheet 3. When the time comes. Ask them to make an offer. If they ask you to throw the number out first just be bold and say something like "id love to hear your offer first, and then we can chat about any details" 4. Always ask for more. Its a short conversation, quick no and its over. I've gotten 5-20% more constantly when I've asked. I've never had an offer rescinded. Just be polite, use a team/us attitude (i.e. What are your constraints? Hmm ok how can we figure this out?) and embrace the silence. Putting on them to make the solution and just let the silence hang. 5. The only rule is whatever you say you'll accept, you must accept. Never ask for more once they have budged on your request, this is why you must ask for more and if you have a range, and they offer low, maybe tell them the range from the data and say something like "I know you only hire the best and you want to raise the bar with each hire, so I was hoping to see a number at the higher end of that range"

Slate auto is doing exactly that. They have pre-orders too. I'm waiting until I can test drive but it looks really interesting.

Its not connected to the main game. Its a private bot only server.

That being said, is copying the game outright legal?

And what about servicing? Last I checked these data centers don't run without incident and need people (or fine robots) to physically interact with them.

One takeaway for me is how important landscaping is to making a space beautiful.

I've been playing to much pokemon with my kids, read this as "Dugtrio"

Many of them look like they joined/lead a cult.

So today but at least kids get spared? Jokes aside, we do need moderation of digital platforms but it feels like in the US political landscape at least, that would do more harm that good.

So is it possible to replace it with another service that does the same thing?

Thanks for putting this together. Curious if HN traffic is also down but intuitively this feels right.

I remember using this back then for fun projects. So cool to see it again here and your comment! Thanks for the site!

yeah its also an aesthetic choice. You SEE that they made the images use less data/power.

I follow this as part of my role and the number of lawsuits has been increasing steadily over the years. Last year was 4,600 (for websites/apps) in the US. So might not feel a lot but of course the bigger your app is the bigger the target.
