Thank you! I tried to pay homage to where the device at hand has come from. BeOS and PalmOS

Show HN: Loss. a tiny satire about AI progress

I wanted to parody where AI seems to be heading. You start as a manual inference unit pressing a button for the next token, then systems take over; agents, sub-agents, approvals, swarms. It’s Universal Paperclips for the agentic AI era, and a small exploration of where predicting the next token might eventually take us. What’s the worst that could happen?

I used https://www.twine.net/ quite few times when needing some assets for my app. There’s a lot of talented people on there.

Re:Famo.us open to everyone on Monday May 19, 2014 @03:30PM (#7769291)
I like this as a concept, but I wouldn't recommend to build websites with it. I wonder how user-accessible websites built with famo.us are — for example I can't just use my arrow keys to navigate up/down and tab'ing through elements does not move the scroll-bar accordingly, this could be an issue for some, older internet users.

Re:Buttons with built-in loading indicators on Wednesday June 05, 2013 @07:15AM (#5824800)
Nice! Although the loading gif looks a bit dodgy on retina screen. I'd suggest playing with CSS and making that loading bit a pure css shape.

Really nice! One thing I'd point out, the "fork me on github" badge is redirecting to the wrong repo :)
