This assumes that the article, the artifact, is most valuable. But often it is the process of writing the article that has the most value. Prism can be a nice tool for increasing output. But the second order consequence could be that the skill of deep thinking and writing will atrophy.

Some years ago I played a car game with Virtual Reality (VR). I noticed that it felt like the car was a part of me.

I wonder if the brain can experience if clothing, tools, bikes are part of the body?

Sure it would be cool, but I don't think not having 6k is my limiting factor (I have an ok 4k 42" monitor)

New comment by arnejenssen in "Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?"

arnejenssen — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 08:21:14 +0000

Solitude is not the same as loneliness. A person can feel lonely surrounded by others. Like being the only non-drinker in a family Christmas celebration.

Loneliness is when there is a gap between desire for companionship/connection and reality.

I've done both extended periods of home office and a period of co-working in an open plan space. I didn't feel lonely in the home office. I guess because I did it by choice and had the agency to opt into joining a co-working.

I think that loneliness could be a symptom of lack of connection. And this need for connection can in some cases be fulfilled online or even through reading books. Participating in forums like hackernews or effect-ts satisfies some of the handful facets of connection that I need. It gives me a feeling of not being totally alone with some of my ideas.

Similar like grass fed beef and dairy is a sign of quality and "naturality". I look forward to the day when insect fed chicken becomes a sign of quality. Because insects are part of a natural diet for chickens.

I was around 16 years in the early 90s and i bought a digital watch (different brand) with a lot of functions. I remember when I came home from the shop. My aunt was visiting. I explained that the watch could keep lap-times for two separate cars. Without her saying anything, I realized that this was totally useless and I regretted the purchase.

New comment by arnejenssen in "Taste Driven Development [video]"

arnejenssen — Sat, 25 Oct 2025 14:33:35 +0000

This talk is about the soft side of software — the intuitive, often overlooked skills that help us build products people truly love. It’s about developing your taste, learning to recognize quality, and understanding why those things matter when writing code.

It’s also about un-learning certain habits we pick up as engineers — the urge to optimize, validate, and measure — to make space for empathy, vision, and a bit of magic.

I’ll share some of my experiences trying to build great products, and offer practical ways to train your eye for quality: how to spot the difference between good and great, and how to create things that don’t just work correctly, but feel right.

Impressive. As a bootstrapping founder I live frugally. But I buy and read a loot of books on Kindle. Books give so much value compared to the cost/price. And the convenience of e-books/kindle makes the other option not worth the hassle.

Remember that Goole is not a public service. It is a business.

It has two (or more) customers with different needs. For now, google needs to satisfy us (the users), but not delight.

Some years ago I stopped used Snapchat, because Snapchat would occasional notify me a "highlight" with a picture from my camera roll. To do that it meant that Snapchat need to have all my pictures on their server, I figured. Not what I signed up for.

I wonder how a persons hypnotizability affects how they could reach altered states of consciousness? 10% of the population is high in hypnotizability and 10% is low responders and the remaining 80% have some response.

Thanks. I came to the a similar realization after trying Blinkist (book summaries) a few years ago. The summaries is no real substitute for reading the whole book.

Cool project. I've heard that robotic hands should have finger lengths that are not equal for more dexterity. The variation in finger length of a human hand is a feature not a bug.
