My nephew loves this book thank you for putting it into the world!

Can this be used to make hyper-realistic video games, or it's not that real-time yet?


This is so messed up! Hack Club has done and is doing amazing things for teens and young adults who love to build things. Shame on you Salesforce.


The agent terminating its own process was hilarious


It's why I called it Ralph. Because it's just not all there, but for some strange reason it gets 80% of there pretty well. With the right observational skills, you can tune it into 81, then 82, then 83, then 84. But there's always gaps, always holes. It's a lovable approach, a character, just like Ralph Wiggum.


Man, I was kind of hoping this was a YCombinator-backed cheese factory. But good luck on the launch!


“good luck with lunch”


You can say all you want about NPR or PBS being "left-leaning". But isn't this just a symptom of them telling the truth vs the lies that are spouted out of this administration every single day? If you report the truth now, I guess you're "left-leaning" or "biased" vs reporting whatever the admin says as fact with no comment or fact checking.

NPR and PBS fact check their reporting and have real journalists. Fox News lies all of the time on the air and has media personalities as hosts. Yes, of course, there's no absolutes and some hosts or shows are more biased than others, and people make mistakes. Hosts show their biases unconsciously sometimes too. If your host lives in New York for instance, their views are shaped by that, vs if they live in Kentucky.

But this politicization of National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service is ridiculous and just shows how much this administration is trying to get us into a post-truth world. Facts matter!

Don't succumb to this Culture of Fear.


Aw yes Dokku is still great in 2025! Hear hear!


Interesting takes. I got a sort of "Yom Kippur Vidui" vibe from this if anyone else in the tribe is reading haha.

Read responsively

"We are destroying software by no longer taking complexity into account when adding features or optimizing some dimension.

And we are destroying software with complex build systems.

We are destroying software with an absurd chain of dependencies, making everything bloated and fragile.

And we are destroying software telling new programmers: “Don’t reinvent the wheel!”. But, reinventing the wheel is how you learn how things work, and is the first step to make new, different wheels."

Lorne is great and the heart of the show. I also think The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers were part of an Golden Era, for the record.


I think it was in an interview on Norm MacDonald Has A Show that Lorne was asked what the best era of SNL was, and he said the best era for SNL is just whatever one you grew up with. I think he's right about that.


Fair point. I'm mostly just making a reference to the Lonely Island + Seth Meyers podcast. Every few episodes they joke about being in "an Golden Era" of SNL :). But they also do point out that people tend to idolize the folks from the era they grew up in for sure as well!


This is improv comedy, it's hit or miss sometimes. Things you don't find funny other people might find hilarious :)


Small correction: SNL is scripted, not improv. The skits can feel "unpolished" in a similar way to improv, but I think that's usually because they only have a week to produce each one from scratch.


Sorry, I guess I meant "sketch comedy". But a lot of it is written the week before/of the show. So what I meant to say was something like "it's all pretty off the cuff" vs a movie or other show I guess, and that unpolished quality is what makes some things super funny to me or just not hit at all. Again, feels hit or miss.
