This guy has clearly never asked an LLM whether New York City is entirely south of the state of Oregon.


This is such an awful title for this that I almost passed over this story despite being a nano/view customer who has built several keyboards myself. What a strange thing, in the effort to appeal to a wider audience with a clickbaity title you lose signal to the readers who would perhaps be most interested.

For his defense, the business is really 1M$ and he really started in his dorm room. So clickbaity but factually true, unlike many other clickbaity stories out there.

Yet here you are engaging with the article. In my mind, the clickbait title has done its job.

If it didn’t have the clickbaity title you probably would have never known the article existed.

I think that’s a bit of a shame if true, on this website, with this product.

Maybe it's a compromised sshd that dropped him in after printing the "Login incorrect".

I also wouldn’t put it past Flynn to rename ‘root’ to ‘backdoor’ as a joke.

There are 2,000+ varieties of mangoes alone. You could literally end up with a larger file using only mangoes.

Was going to give the same example with chili peppers. Tons of varieties and not exactly interchangeable

Thousands of cheeses, each of which is a unique experience. Heck, even the serving temperature completely alters the experience. Next: wines, charcuterie, ...

Pity the fool who can't taste the difference between any of these.


there are thousands of varieties of a lot of things though...

Isn’t the magic in the "time or two"? For example I always make it a point to thank call center people by name after they’ve helped me, even though their name comes up exactly once before that point (when they introduce themselves). It’s just extending a basic courtesy, treating someone like a human being. (Of course, remembering the name of who was helping you is not just basic courtesy but also useful for other reasons.)

Seems the message got distorted from "remembering people's names shows you care about them" to "use people's names unnecessarily or in bad faith". I was pretty upset by that Apple Intelligence ad where Bella Ramsey pulls up someone's name and then pretends she remembered it – yuck.


I have everything this guy is talking about just from running Filerun (with the Nextcloud client for mirrors) and backing up to Backblaze R2. At some point developers seem to forget that other developers exist.

> At some point developers seem to forget that other developers exist.

At some point developers seem to forget that making stuff is fun. The fact SQLite and GCC exist doesn't mean you're banned from making a database or a C compiler.

You're allowed to make stuff just because.


I'm not going to "sign in to search" before I have any idea whether this thing even works or is just a spam intake.

Suspicious numbers of 1-karma folks here.


A bit shit to have to login, but it does have a lot of Khan stuff.


It works dude


Not if you're a professional in a big boy company, where the MacOS users can literally draw a perfect arrow in 2 seconds on any image, without installing a thing. You're just going to look completely incompetent.

This is not a significant concern of anyone I've met, and if it was I'd look at them as incompetent.

You can also just upload models to Mixamo and pose them using their animations right in there.

However I suspect none of these (at least for static posing) beat the usability of the solution this app is imitating: purchasing a portable, posable mannequin that’s built for purpose.
