> The Economist tries hard to normalize GMO food, without ever raising the issues and addressing them.

And you also did not raise any issue, just asserted that there are some. GMO is amazing.


I personally cycle accounts on this site for pseudo-privacy reasons. HN does not allow you to delete old comments you made and thus the only way to maintain some semblance of control over my profile and privacy is to periodically switch new accounts. I've been doing this for years now. The only real downside for me is that as a new account you don't have the ability to downvote, which is super annoying but something I've learned to live with.

I'm not saying your idea is bad necessarily but giving another perspective.


The animations are CSS-driven, but the data behind them is real — agent heartbeats, task counts, and activity logs are pulled from actual systemd timer outputs. It's not a mock dashboard, though I'll admit the visual polish probably makes it look more "produced" than a typical monitoring tool.

> Put "don't show AI content" on every major platform and the henpecking will stop

Your argument then is: "Ban the subject of AI from your platforms or we're coming at you with pitchforks. And don't say anything to us when we do, because we are the sad ones here." Correct?


My setup is WSL2 on a regular Windows machine — no GPU, so local inference would be painfully slow Gemini 2.5 Flash free tier is genuinely good enough — 1,500 req/day, I use ~105. Quality is solid for content generation and analysis tasks $0/month is hard to beat — I did accidentally rack up $127 when I used a billing-enabled API key (wrote a blog post about that lesson), but with free tier properly configured, it's been zero cost for months If I needed more throughput or privacy-sensitive processing, I'd consider local models. But for my current scale, free tier Gemini handles everything.

But then what do you do with it early in the morning?

Better to pick projects not hosted on GitHub at all!

Can I play without registering?

Thanks! The dashboard is one of my favorite parts of this project. It actually pulls real agent activity data — the visualizations are live, not pre-rendered. Working on making it a product: customizable agent dashboards for other teams running multi-agent setups.

Is stealing from a thief a theft?

I understand the skepticism. To clarify what's actually shipped:

MindThread: Threads automation SaaS with paying subscribers (only one in Taiwan using Meta's official API) UltraProbe: AI security scanner covering OWASP LLM Top 10 — free tool, used for lead gen Client projects: SaaS platforms, AI integrations, brand sites — real businesses using these daily The agents aren't the product — they're the operational layer that lets one person run all of this. Whether that's valuable is a fair debate, but the outputs are real products with real users.


Finally, our tax euros at work.

Unfortunately I don’t think that it would solve the problem: https://www.google.com/search?q=handwritten+mail+service&udm...

Dating sites and online are not going to make you feel better so don't expect anything from that. 38 is young for a guy, and I met plenty of women in my 40s (in real life) who would have made a a good couple with.

I get why it reads that way, but this post was written by me. I actually spent more time on this Show HN than on most client deliverables this week. The irony isn't lost on me though — when you work with LLMs all day, your own writing starts picking up the patterns.

FWIW, I'm a solo dev in Taiwan trying to make AI tools more accessible here. Mobile penetration is nearly universal but AI adoption is still very early. I'm learning as I build.


100% agree. Content generation is where agents shine — it's repetitive and time-consuming. But genuine engagement is where trust gets built, and that needs to be real.

My engagement scripts do auto-reply to comments on my own posts, but they're rate-limited and context-aware (max 2 rounds). For anything meaningful — client conversations, community discussions like this one — it's always me.


I'd be interested in just the data layer of this being extractable - will poke around at that. (frontend is fun, though!).

Please don't post snarky, shallow dismissals. That's been against the guidelines for a long time.

Genuine innovation is what we most want to encourage. That's what Show HN has always been about.

The problem now is that coding assistants have dramatically lowered the bar for getting a product or tool working, without the need for much innovation. We need new ways of identifying projects that are genuinely innovative so that their creators can be fairly rewarded, rather than being drowned out.


Surely the alternative would have been that land being owned the Anglo-Danish elite installed by Cnut a few decades earlier, or perhaps a newly installed Norwegian elite had Harold lost at Stamford Bridge.

Britain's ownership inequality is probably more a result of the tradition of primogeniture where aristocratic land holdings remained concentrated whereas in France they were subdivided on inheritance.

I blame Britain's tiny homes on our early industrialisation creating terraced houses which have subsequently been difficult to redevelop at higher density. Other countries seem to have skipped that and instead built tenements that eventually turned into flats at a much higher floor area per land area.



"Handler" can describe anything, I avoid that name like the plague in my designs, there's almost always something more appropriate that communicates more meaning

Dependency injection is great as long as its internal working can be easily understood. I've worked with projects where dependency injection comes in various contexts (application scoped, request scoped ..) and there are always problems with that, sooner or later.


Good questions, happy to answer all of them:

Revenue: Comes from client projects — I run a small tech agency (SaaS builds, AI integrations, brand websites). The agents handle lead gen and content so I can focus on delivery. MindThread (Threads automation SaaS) is also generating subscription revenue.

Multiple accounts: MindThread is a legitimate SaaS product using Meta's official Threads API. Clients manage their own accounts through it. The agents post to my company's own accounts, not fake ones.

Bot policies: We use official APIs only (Meta Threads API, Discord API). No scraping, no unofficial endpoints. Content is AI-assisted but goes through quality gates (generate → self-review → rewrite if score < 7/10).

Actual product/service: ultralab.tw — 7 product lines including MindThread (Threads automation), UltraProbe (AI security scanner), SaaS development, and AI integration services.


Yeah I do feel the OA is being overly flippant with their use of human cells here, likely for PR sake, which would be an ethical breach for me personally. Overall though, I find most research cases for human cell lines to be in line with my personal ethics. Neuron lines can certainly be used for good or ill, and this case leans towards the latter, although understanding the human brain may justify this line of work in the long term. If only we didn't live in a militaristic late stage capitalist society...

That are exceptions but there is a noticeable trendline. The freedom of business index ranks Scandinavian countries pretty high. Norway, Sweden, and Finland tend to rank highest among Singapore and South Korea. Ireland tops it because it's a giant tax shelter but there's not much notable innovation there. Meanwhile UK, France, Italy, Spain are ranking poorly. The US has been declining there slowly, which is much more obvious when you factor in local/state/housing etc, federally it's long been more permissive but fiscally irresponsible.

My personal indicator is how many young (<50) entrepreneurs are building real stuff vs announcements of ex-bigco executives partnering with the government to jump on a new bandwagon.


I think rock-climbing fills a similar void for me. It's social, physical, and mental, and has a progression to it where I feel like I've gained something after every session. Plus you can take your skills outside and enjoy nature and travel with friends

The plastic by the trackpad would turn pink as well from my sweaty hands. Good times.

Exactly — many job scams rely on building trust during the hiring or onboarding process before asking for identity verification, payments, or financial actions.

When someone has been job searching for months, it’s much easier for scammers to exploit that situation. One motivation behind verified listings is reducing the chances of fake companies starting that process in the first place.


Dammit, am I going to get banned for rambling?

This has long been my biggest issue, much bigger than new accounts spamming slop. There are accounts with 10000x karma that do little more than feed links from the NY Times and similar publications, regardless of their relevance or value.

Each one gets 4-5 karma, a few crack double digits. Post 10 or 20 a day over a year or two and they're five figures. Pure farming.


First I want to say I appreciate that you're willing to acknowledge when you're wrong or confused. As I said, you've convinced me the LLM fucked up here. I still believe LLMs are useful for learning, as long as you know the right questions to ask.

To my understanding, "tumor architecture" is used in the same manner as "tissue architecture", it just refers to the physical structure of the tissue, nothing more specific.

I recommend The Biology of Cancer - Robert A. Weinberg. It's on Anna's Archive.
