Re:Jane Street's Figgie card game on Saturday February 15, 2025 @09:35AM (#43058809)
The whole choosing games thing is strange.

Give me one button and throw me into a live game.

Or let me practice against bots before going live.

Also the notice that my username was taken wasn’t clear (was in white) so i thought the app didn’t work until i learned my username was already taken by scrolling up and seeing the notice that didn’t stand out

Why not use your own characters or companies to trade?

Would be way more fun having some mascots to trade instead of common cards

Why is hiring a sales team not mentioned here?

Feels like the obvious next step and would be more impactful than focusing on increasing margins

Ask HN: A GUI for making AI videos?

I’d like to make videos like the one in the Twitter link above. I’ve tried using the Google collaborative Stable Diffusion workbook to make them but haven’t had any luck with the video making. Is there a more intuitive approach using a tool out there or an easier to use UX for making similar videos?Here’s a link to the notebook i’ve tried -...

Is there a mobile app in the works too? I usually plan from mobile and find doing it outside of a native app clunky

Native English speakers are quite lucky all programming languages are in English. Imagine China created their own languages and OS? We couldn't keep up

Really unfortunate naming with the safe money polygon hack hitting the news today

Great tool. Thank you for the laughs.
Made me laugh! Would be way more awesome if gates closed above the page like an old school elevator before it went back up

Curious to read this, but the images won't load
I've been hosting a YouTube trippy video room for 30 minutes now. My only suggestion is to kill the pop over modal every time somebody wants to join. Kills your ability to interact as the modal can pop up anytime

Should just let anyone pop in without the need to accept every individual person

Oh yeah. And the room never closes, right?
This is great. Been looking for a way to create a "virtual water cooler" for our team as we move 40+ people remote. Does the room always exist, and people can hop in and out? What's the business model? IE how can we pay for the service/support the mission?

Re:Estimating Value of Facebook by Paying Users to Stop Using It on Thursday December 20, 2018 @10:34AM (#18725730)
Does the study include WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram?

I'm curious to know how to figure changes when you include Facebook owned services in addition to the primary Facebook platform.

Lovely design. I feel this could provide value for a lot of indie developers. However, the copy could use some work..

For example, the following tag line could be much more concise.. "The instant solution to worrying less about your work being copied by the clients you developed them for."

One of the nicest cease and desist letters I've ever seen. I think what they're asking in the name change is more than fair, and providing guidence on changing the functionality to comply with their api seems like a good approach. Kuddos to Slack legal for keeping the matter human and civil.

I think it's helpful for visualizing the seconds as it's a time based focused debugger.

Maybe open a pull request for a graph based view and we can A/B test ️
