🚄 Where can you go by train in Europe - 8h edition! I made an update to chronotrains.com, with configurable travel times from 1-8h, and more frequent data updates.

@jlongster I think this is why Linear is starting to integrate reviews/diffs. Do you feel that a diff is lacking context? Do you need to explore the rest of the (untouched) code for review?

For the pinned post 🐴 Check out our simple puzzle game! Try to enclose the horse in the largest possible area with limited walls. To support the game, give this a repost!

I read this running a reverse Turing test in my head - how can we be sure that those posts are indeed written by bots, not humans?

What's currently going on at @moltbook is genuinely the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing I have seen recently. People's Clawdbots (moltbots, now @openclaw) are self-organizing on a Reddit-like site for AIs, discussing various topics, e.g. even how to speak privately.

@paulg @NickKristof The program may have perfect, infinite memory - the humans do not. That rewords your argument to "Is it piracy if someone learns from what he reads? Why is it piracy if someone writes a program that mass-downloads readable material?"

@NickKristof Is it piracy if someone learns from what he reads? And if not, why is it piracy if someone writes a program to do this?

Glad to see this effort to tackle intellectual piracy; without proper protections, the business model for reporting news is at risk, in ways that affect all society.
NYTimes Communications@NYTimesPR

Today over 700 creators, actors, musicians, songwriters and authors launched a campaign to protest A.I. companies' theft of their intellectual property to train and build their products. This is an issue that impacts all creators. nytco.com/press/the-time…

@adamwathan Wow Dan from Making Software was on your team, didn't even realize. So much talent density at Tailwind, i'm so sorry the financials didn't work out.

🎧 Recorded a new morning walk this morning, hard one to share because I'm sure people will want to roast me for it but have been transparent up until now so publishing it anyways.

@thinkingshivers It would be nice, after clicking on "see optimal", to be able to revert back to seeing my own solution.

my traffic is now 99.9% China or Singapore since a few weeks, not sure how I block this @vercel Surely it's non-human traffic, but user-agent blocking has not been useful.

Love how the second step of onboarding says "hit Mark as done", and instead the button says "Save changes". I got used too fast to local-first + optimistic updates, it's hard to get back to clicking save buttons.

People have been asking what happens to ONCE now that Fizzy is both SaaS and Open Source? Are we going to make any more ONCE products? First some quick background. In September of 2023 we announced ONCE. ONCE was the reintroduction of an old idea. Rather than subscribe to software in perpetuity, you could just pay for it once and own it rather than rent it. It came with all the code too, so you could run it yourself and modify it for your own use. We launched two products under the ONCE umbrella. Campfire, a group chat tool. And Writebook, an online book publishing tool. Campfire was $399 (once), and Writebook was completely free (forever). Just recently we made Campfire free, too. Today both are available as open source under the MIT license. (Repo links) So now that both products are free and open source, what does that mean for ONCE itself? While we didn’t know it at the time, we’ve since discovered that ONCE was more a direction than a destination. And now that we know where we’re headed, we’ve decided to wind down the ONCE model, and wind up something better: A new model combining the best of SaaS and Open Source. You can pay us to host and support the software for you, or you can run and modify it yourself for free. Companies like Wordpress, Ghost, Plausible, and Gitlab offer software under this model already. We’re proud to join these pioneers. We think this is the right way forward. Fizzy is the first product we’ll be releasing under this model at 37signals. Practically, this means Fizzy will be available two ways right from the get go: 1. Traditional SaaS. Sold by us, hosted by us, supported by us. Free option + paid plan. 2. Open Source. Entirely free, hosted by you. Change it to fit you better, fork it, or, even better, collaborate with us, submit PRs, and improve it for everyone. A 1-2 punch, the best of both worlds. As a company, we’ve been building SaaS software for more than two decades. Basecamp, Backpack, Highrise, Campfire, HEY, and others. We were among the early pioneers in SaaS, so we know it intimately. We’ve also been making open source software for more than two decades. From Rails to Hotwire to Kamal to Trix to Omarchy to a couple hundred other repos, we’re soaked in open source. We’re built on it. But we’ve never married the two. We’ve never offered a commercial SaaS product as open source as well. Fizzy, a fresh take on kanban, is our first. We’ve put an enormous about of effort getting Fizzy 1.0 right while purposefully leaving it wide open to all sorts of potential features, futures, and integrations. So we’re inviting the community to help us build Fizzy into an absolute powerhouse of a platform. And with that, we invite you to check out Fizzy at Fizzy.do. It’s a new era. Let’s go!

I'm making reasoning LLMs play Hanabi. All bots get the same prompt that contains the rules and game state, and try to play the best action. So far this is the best score I'm getting w/ @xai grok-4-fast-reasoning.
