New comment by altmanaltman in "Removing Next.js Got My Blog to 100 on Every Lighthouse Category"

altmanaltman — Mon, 26 Oct 2026 04:36:43 +0000

It's pretty easy to get 100 on every lighthouse category even while using next. The scoring is based on how fast a page loads and what blocks its loading time. If you develop it with a bit of care, that is a non-issue. My funny agency website (https://www.pixlw.com/) is purely nextjs and it scores a 100 on Lighthouse as well because I kept working on it till it didn't.

They literally raised $870 million this month. It's like people think the hype cycle = success of business for some reason. I'm sure a couple of months later, they're going to release something new, hire a lot of PR, and the same people will be "man, Jev had fallen but this new [xyz] brings them so back! [xyz] industry will now be dead!"

I mean, it's the brain, not the world around it. Our brains haven't really evolved much while civilization and technology have been growthmaxxing. Same reason why certain social media posts can trigger a physical, emotional reaction, even though for 99.99% of the time there were no cellphones or social media.

Yes Anthropic, Meta and OpenAI are just addicted to video game cards, they are buying in bulk so they can play gta 6 on launch.

It was like AI slop pre AI. Great traction with the nsfw stuff but failed to capitalize on it.

Yes but that means it is trivially exploitable today since anyone can get access to a LLM and where to point it towards. 2-3 years ago, things were different, that is also correct but that doesn't mean things stay frozen in time.

New comment by altmanaltman in "Show HN: Death Plan Switch, a self-hosted dead man's switch for solo devs"

most posts do not show up in the front page at all, the ones you're seeing are the ones that are actually good (in an ideal world, in reality a lot of this is controlled anyway). But yeah even if you make the best thing you've ever dreamed of, do not think posting it on HN = automatic front page. Most content never makes it and gets like 1-2 upvotes. I've hit #1 only once even though i post regularly. Just as long as you're not spamming or breaking any general rules it's alright to take a chance with anything you deem interesting or worth tinkering with.

> What if I go missing or die? The right people are told and my business can continue to operate for *my clients*... I was hospitalised in 2012 and lost my business back then and I couldn't get the data to my technical 2IC in time without frustrating *my clients*... *My clients* are telling me this is a strong sales feature when they trust me with their hosting and technology accounts.

I am not sure why this focus on clients in a context like this feels unsettling to me, but it does.

altmanaltman — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 13:52:42 +0000

You don't really own the domain name though, you rent it from the registar for a fixed term during which you can trade it if you so desire. But it is not something you own, it is a rental with conditions and it can always be taken away. Not saying its fair or not but that's what it fundamentally is and doesn't really map to a fully owned asset.

Yes my opinions are at odds with vast majority of people. I believe everyone's should. And again, as I said, I absolutely destest their views but I am not going to spend my time and energy being "offended" by someone. I will do everything in my power to shut down such mentality if it happens around my local area of influence but there is not point to getting "offended" or "morally outraged" as it does not help me and only makes my inner world worse. You can still hate people without letting hate consume you. You can still disagree with values without feeling like you have superior ones.
