- Post — “Ask HN: Can you write a limerick?”
Top Comment — “This reads like someone who just discovered poetry forms exist and thinks a limerick is some novel concept. The real challenge isn't writing one—any undergraduate can follow the AABBA scheme—it's understanding why meter and scansion matter beyond just counting syllables.
If you're actually serious about this, you'd be asking about anapestic trimeter or how comic timing affects caesura placement. The fact that you're not suggests you haven't done the groundwork.”

- We do not live in a democracy, we live in a representative democracy. The founders simply had no option, you had to pick a person, put them in a carriage, and send them to the capitol to do your bidding (also why electoral college exists for reporting votes, but I digress).
I always wonder what they would’ve created if everyone had a device in their pocket to send their preferences directly to the capitol at the speed of light.

- … according to Marc Andreesen
- I think maybe unclear in my comment, I’m referring to scaling within the cities they’re in. e.g. in SF it still takes 15m for a Waymo to arrive as opposed to Uber’s 3m and it costs more. I would’ve expected Uber drivers to be out of a job, which is not the case (I also drive occasionally)
- Why are they not hyper-focused on scaling the number of vehicles on the road now that they have a working system? Is Waymo afraid of flooding the supply and crashing prices? Are they too expensive to build/maintain to justify a lower price point?
What is going on, if you have PMF the logical next step is scale.

- Huge problem space. Usually referred to as “turn taking”
- Cool idea, but from my tests it seems like the LLM needs more grounding since it misses lots of characters. Maybe a list of the actual characters in the story?
I had the same problem with https://timelines.0xmmo.co where I had to ground it in Wikipedia articles.
- Second this, I've built some puzzle games (e.g. https://snoozpaper.com) but lacked distribution :)
- I like how succinct this is at making the point. I would just remove the note in the parentheses, it kind of led me astray and confused me.
