"Known limitations You cannot currently edit files in Whiteboard. If this is something that you find yourself wanting to do, please file an issue!"

Seems like a big limitation for an "IDE"

Pipelines and roles are a good point.

Yes, contribution is what keeps a project alive. It's up to the people involved to maintain quality. That's management. Two different things, both important.

That's how sponsorship works, it's an exchange of goods or funds for visibility of an audience. Nothing wrong with that

Viruses don't care if the host dies. Evolution doesn't explain all things in nature.

Deleted. I never spent much money with OpenAI, but it's the signal/vote that I have to give the system that more killing, working with DoW, and caving into the Trump administration is an unpopular choice

There are a lot of remakes of old games. Nintendo has done this a lot, but one challenge is these old games all come with IP and copyright, so it's hard to remake a game even with the technology. You have to have ownership and a good reason to believe people will buy a slightly updated game.

Sounds like your ego was hurt by a process that's designed to expose ideas from a group on a level playing field. The process was working as intended. If it upset you, it might be worth reflecting on what you can do to be more flexible and open minded, which is hard to do as we gain more experience in life.

cjmcqueen — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 00:19:07 +0000

Part of my role is designing assessments for online courses and technical certifications. This is exactly what we want to build in our assessment development process. We want the LLM to monitor the training content and create draft questions and exercises that are vetted by humans. It's maybe a classic "human in the middle" design for content development, but the more we can put humans in at the right point and time and use LLMs for the other parts helps us create a more robust and up to date training and assessment system.

Lots of news and articles, but also "The Craft", a history of Freemason's by John Dickie, was one of the more interesting books.

If this makes it easier and faster to sort garbage, we could probably improve the efficiency of recycling 100x. I know there are some places that do that already, but there are so many menial tasks that could be done by robots to improve the world.

I hope you shared this comment on the site.

Not saying you're doing this, but I feel we've turned into a critical culture and not a supportive culture more and more. Criticism is not as helpful as people pitching in to help build.

Definitely see the need for this!

Before downloading and installing, I'm curious how it works. How does it stop doom scrolling on Android?

Also, maybe you need a free tier until you can capture some part of the market from WhatsApp

People are weird and sometimes things don't make sense from their existing framing. What if the URL was OnAir.com/555-555-5555 <~ basically make it look like a phone number and make it something where people can see they can text, call, or message. If you're live, it shows that. If you're not live, it gives you a way to leave a message. The interaction is almost exactly the same, but might create less friction of "what is this" by making it feel like how phones and contact points have worked for years.
