This is not what this means. This is not, "had an idea by walking", this means, I can prove the absurdity of certain philosophical ideas by just common sense observation (roughly).

It makes sense, I really like it when it misaligns, and doesn't do what i tell it to do, but does what I intended to say, it happens pretty often that I'm not precise but any smart entity would understand what I meant.

How involved is the software in the car, any while driving features? I'd be a little bit afraid of getting in that car even with the best efforts of the community, maybe it's not really for driving, i'd be even more nervous to get in a car with no updates, but still.

Mildly related, if anyone want another chess minigame (I did this just in case).

Yes, very possibly bloatware fits it more, a shit pattern, and very dubious behavior but not necessarily spyware.

What is with negativity against AI in YC? Can anyone point a finger of why this anti take is so prominent? We're living through the most revolutionary moment of software since it's its inception and the main thing that gets consistently upvoted is negativity, FUD and it doesn't work in this case, or it's all slop.

Use no plugins, install Zellij (or tmux) and use in split panes, works great.

I said it elsewhere but will repeat it here:

This is incredibly impressive, many of this things have been missing for forever! I remember the first time I couldn't figure out how do a proper responsive accordion, it was with bootstrap 1, released in 2011 !! Today it's still not properly solved (until now?).

Many of thing things belong in css no in js, but this has been the pattern with so many things in the web

1) web needs evolve into more complex needs 2) hacky js/css implementation and workarounds 3) gets implemented as css standard

This is a not so hacky step 2. Really impressive,

I would have thunk that if this was actually possible someone would have done it already, apparently not, at some point I really want to understand what's the real insight in the library, their https://github.com/chenglou/pretext/blob/main/RESEARCH.md is interesting, they seem to have just done the hard work, of browser discrepancies to the last detail of what does an emoji measure in each browser, hope this is not a maintenance nightmare.

All in all this will push the web forward no doubt.

Trufa — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 17:35:03 +0000

I felt a vibe change, some are obvious and some not, but it does feel different, the main change i've seen is in downvotes, I don't say very controversial things and have had many things very quickly downvoted, and then slowly upvoted, I think hn was very slow to downvote in the past (except obvious trolls/spam). So for me the main worry is not even the comments, but the invisible bias generated by voting.

I honestly feel like it's more honest status measure than many status pages I know.

I think your comment is nonsensical.

Zellij among is a great example, I can do everything with my keyboard, but every now and them I'm already with the mouse and just click a tab or pane, no functionality lost, just added, why the need to make a cutoff philosophical/semantic hard argument?

Two different stages of the project, not necessarily contradictory. I'm not saying this is great, but tests make a whole lot more sense when you know what you're building.

Thank you for you answer, I had misunderstood the main objective of where it was meant to be applied, this makes sense!

Disclaimer: I am not the maintainer of anything terminal related, it's just an intuition.

Let's say I'm the creator of ghostty "competition".

The fact that is has the same name, could feel if I change that:

- Maybe my users start thinking why don't I use ghostty instead - Will the maintainers of libghostty chose more oriented to ghostty than for my terminal?

It's a half assed analogy, but think if Google's V8 would be called ChromeEngine instead of V8.

Do you think there's entry barrier, even if pride based or psychological, to the fact that libghostty is called so rather that something more generic?

Let's say I'm the creator of Alacritty, would I have more problems adding libghostty than it's generically named identical counterpart libtermengine?
