Attestation of any type: A double edged sword, where you are guaranteed to lose freedom. Attestation entrenches, empowers, and enriches other entities that aren't you.

Ironic how this post got upvoted in parallel to polar opposite in the #1 slot: "John Deere owners will get the right to repair equipment under FTC settlement" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48838876

Engineers may debate about what-about-isms of vulnerabilities and counterexamples of TPM failures, but that misses the point: We should be debating about where society will be when devices you paid for serve other masters.

Probably we should just write/vibe/demand better software. Otherwise we're going to end up with a law demanding TPMs that watch more than just your firmware...

Missing Option 3) hardware and software continue to evolve and AI becomes cost efficient at the same price and eventually even lower

Very nice. Thanks for making it clean and simple to use. I'm curious, only if you're willing to share, how you check so many domains availability automatically? Is there any potential rate limit problems behind the scenes?

One challenge I've always seen with similar tools is that the AI always wants to generate MultiWordsTogether domains, even when selecting that you want only creative short ones like "uber". Maybe this is something that a prompt change could help solve. But I'm pretty certain that LLMs today are just bad at type of single word creativity in their default state.

Bug report: when I click on the hamburger menu and switch to another item on your site, I get into an infinite loop of being prompted to sign into Google.

SPAs are not about view transitions. TFA implies that fancy transition is important between pages (wrong!) and blames a "CMO" or "brand manager" rather than challenging their own preconceptions and exploring the value an SPA does add:

- excellent frameworks for client side logic (interactivity) - separation of concerns (presentation logic vs. backend) - improved DevEx => inc. speed of development => happiness for all

The sad thing is that an article like this will get plenty of eyeballs due to comments like my own adding to the algo, but it should have never made it above the fold.

I'd love to see more examples in a portfolio or catalogue page. I think it would help me more clearly see what is possible than just the links above. Or at the very least, having them all together on one page without having to open the design chat URL for each to see the examples would be nice.

I'm glad to see you working on this. It's an incredibly difficult and important space!

Assuming you have a desktop or VM that is always on, then using vs code or cursor with the remote SSH and dev containers extensions installed is great. The extensions operate on top of each other transparently.

A lost or interrupted internet connection is not a big deal. Both IDEs come back right where you left off by just hitting a reload button when you come back.

They also have some black magic (which I recommend against trusting) that will bring your terminal back to a similar state to where it was when you left off. I do not recommend the built-in terminal in either IDE though, but it is there in a pinch. For long-running tasks, if you like SSH, then tmux solves your problem.

I mean, the site is just incredibly beautiful. Good job. I want to go on vacation wherever the made-up end-frame is with the lake on the bottom.

I had to show it to a friend who said they must have hired a frontend engineer yelling, "I've wanted to do this my entire career, and you cannot stop me."

It is important for readers to be aware that the specs compared are not useful today.

Only the latest greated 50x NVIDIA gpus will do DP 2.1 (everything else is DP 1.4). And likewise, even your best monitors are unlikely to support DP 2.1 today.

HDMI 2.x is supported by a wider(est) array of available GPUs and monitors, and thus not only wins out, but is literally the only way to unlock the resolutions and refresh rates in today's situations.

Absolutely excellent!

Very nice!

Regarding the localness, are you optimizing or targeting users that prefer only local inference? The part about API keys at the end makes me wonder if there's any practical difference outside of lower local resource requirements and access to private models on the clound.

Do you recommend or force that people use any specific languages or frameworks that dyad is optimized to render or iterate on locally?
