Sure - some of what you have said has merit, however Trump has also initiated trade wars with pretty much every other country at the same time. He took advantage of the allowance to renegotiate and then instead of just keeping it within NAFTA, has expanded to a global scale.

I tried this a couple months back. While I found it useful, I also found on my MacBook M1, the fact it was recording all the time, made my CPU melt at high temps all the time. I eventually had to shut it off and stop using because of that.

Curious how it runs on more modern hardware? Is it pretty lightweight these days?

Add GTA6 to this list
This was just an experiment in which I asked Claude Opus 4.7 to create a programming language in the most efficient way it could. It isn't meant to be a serious thing — just a fun weekend project exploring what happens when you let an LLM design its own language.

It appears like it is a combination of python structure and C-like semantics. There is even a bit of Go-like declaration, but yeah, hard to say whether or not it is actually more efficient... a LLM is trained on text, so that is what it is going to create.Also, pretty funny that it is a single 2000+ line code file...

Petzold literally had the Windows logo tattooed on his arm. He was a true believer.

This is cool thanks for sharing

What is the tech around the thing that segments out DOM elements automatically and shows the visual representation. I think something like this would be great for automated UI testing agents?

Thanks for sharing! This brings back so many memories. When I was 8 years old, my mother enrolled me in a programming summer camp at our local university. This was my first exposure to BASIC and that is what got me hooked. After that, writing BASIC programs on APPLE 2/2E throughout junior high and highschool was the thing to do. Switched to Visual Basic shortly after that... It started it all for me!

Ask HN: How do I organize a team using deep learning in a cost effective manner?

Title says it all, but we're getting serious into deep learning, and I'm wondering how other organizations are managing their team cost wise in order to provide developers with the proper resources in order to do their jobs. Things like powerful GPUs and VMs can add up after a while. What are some of you doing to keep costs down while still empowering your employees to do their jobs effectively?

Ask HN: Deployment Standards for K8s Apps?

Hi,I'm a bit out of the loop on this, but can someone share any information they might have on how Kubernetes orchestrated apps are typically deployed? We do quite a bit of B2B sales and have built a number of docker containers which do various things. We deploy these internally to our own environment via terraform scripts. We are now playing around with the idea of sharing this app with other...

Pretty sweet idea! Thanks for sharing
