Sorry for wasting your API resources but there are many hilarious things people generated. https://anycrap.shop/product/danger-swede-suit-dog-generator

Show HN: QuickSus – a free tool to run System Usability Scale surveys
Knowing of a product works for end users or not needs proper usability testing. But sometimes you want to do a quick, minimal check what user's think about your product.Over the holidays I rewrote a service I had a couple of years ago that let's you run System Usability Scale (SUS) surveys quickly (SUS is an established 10-item questionnaire that results in a indicator score that shows if your...

That sounds great. Outline only has SSO in the per-user paid version. If you decide on providing additional functionality in a non-free "enterprise" version, please don't use the per usermonth model for people running it on prem.

This was a great blog post highlighting some of the weird business models that plague cloud computing. I tried to find competitors to suppliers like Oxide in the EU where there should be a huge amount of business cases for "datacenter in a box". Surprisingly there are very few options available (yes, Azure Stack is available but there is still licensing per cpu for that).
Why aren't there more players in this area?

This! Many seem to think that only developers can contribute in a way that gains experience and CV-items. UX people, designers and wordsmiths can have a great impact on a project too. I wish more people found out and contributed.

Maybe a button cluster for cars could be standardized? Everything relating to AC, heat, etc could work with similar symbols and placement. Everything else had to go below or above this module?

A large email provider like Gmail could probably train a network to find emails that look similar to an official brand (start with payment providers). The client could warn the user that "Warning! This email looks a lot like it is trying to impersonate a different brand".

One of the benefits of Counfluence is that it is one of the only Wikis where I've seen non-technical people being able to create content on a daily basis. Linking pages, inserting graphs and images just works. I have yet to see that in anything based on markdown.

This made me happy. The state of language models paired with the overoptimistic ideas about AI a lot of people have sets the scene for a number of train wrecks. I hope more people critically evaluate their models before releasing them in mass scale.
