What's your setup for using voice with the agents and for handling your inbox zero? OpenClaw?

Yeah, my use case would have required a heavy node or playwright import to convert the SVGs to other formats or show them correctly outside of browsers. This keeps it all SVG and it looks and feels good and lighter.

I love SVG! Recently I needed to render markdown in SVG and found no library existed for that yet so I released one:

I love that the recipe example is still being used as one of the main promising use cases for computers and now AGI. One day hopefully computers will solve that pressing problem...

Yeah, isn't the main user of those tools non-developers? It's not that developers are getting lazy, it's that people who aren't developers also have technical needs (and some chops).

I've used a similar smart outlet on a timer to just shut my wifi off at 9pm. I then put an alarm on my computer to give me a 15 minute wrap-up warning.

I recently released suggestion-mode functionality for prosemirror

https://github.com/davefowler/prosemirror-suggestion-mode

and now I'm building it into my reading and note taking app for a better interaction of AI giving assisted edits, most similar to the Patchwork project from ink and switch https://www.inkandswitch.com/patchwork/notebook/07/

Did this get removed from the home page? As I write this it was posted 2 hours ago with 48 points and 73 comments. Should definitely be on the home page. Why are we filtering content like this?

Regulating is very hard at the software level but not hard at the hardware level. The US and allies control all major chip manufacturing. Open AI and others have done work showing that regulating compute should be significantly easier to do than other regulations we've done such as nuclear https://www.cser.ac.uk/media/uploads/files/Computing-Power-a...

@malcomgreaves I'm not sure you caught the intended target of @cle's comment. I believe he was talking about your comment being the thing he thought may be intentionally ironic, not PG's essay.

One of the main points in the essay: "The problem with political correctness was not that it focused on marginalized groups, but the shallow, aggressive way in which it did so"

And your comment is a classic example of that behavior.

I try to get around with just an apple watch. The most frustrating part is needing (or worrying I'll need) to take an uber or a lyft (my main modes of transport). They discontinued their watch apps and their api's are very locked down.

I've tried this several times too and still do phone less days quite often thanks to the watch, but my big obstacle has been the lack of Uber/Lyft which I use instead of having a car. They used to have those apps on the watch but unfortunately they don't.

If I could use Uber/Lyft on the watch I would mostly leave my phone on the charger.

Perhaps more importantly than a mental model for thinking about this you might need the right mental state. You're tired and not seeing a path forward. That leads to burnout fast and isn't a great space to make big decisions from.

I'd talk to your co-founder and start by taking some time off. I bet for the past 3 years of grinding on the startup you haven't done a good job with vacations. If you went and fully unplugged for a month (or more) you might be in a place for a better perspective.

You might feel like you can't get away - that you're too essential to some work right now - but in my experience a top role of co-founders is to keep the passion and vision strong. Where you sound like you're at mentally you may be doing more team harm than good and your co-founder may be surprisingly supportive of you taking some time to get rest.

For those of you in the Bay Area there’s a great Kintsugi workshop that’s run out of the SF zen center almost weekly https://stonegoldcrafts.com/

I got into Kintsugi when my toilet needed repair. It’s a rewarding craft https://thingsilearned.com/things/my-kintsugi-toilet/
