There are many extensions that hook up to Ollama: Continue, Twinny, Privy being a few

The Kia Orcas

Would you philosophize about ownership if someone stole your laptop or phone?

Side tangent: there is an interesting Vox story about a Greenland meteorite. It illustrates the real human cost of these expeditions that filled museums. Therefore I find it hard to disentangle “ownership” from “violence”. In this story, the change of ownership is a violent and traumatic event.

If someone held a gun to your head and stole your laptop or phone, yes, I'm sure the OP won't try to claim they own the laptop anymore and go to the owners house asking for it back.

Stealing through force is very different to stealing through deception alone. History is made by the first, and ruined by the last.


The merits of this service aside, the cynical takes on HN can be exhausting.

“How is pooping in a toilet measurably different from using a bucket - the same way people did 100 years ago?“


Productivity can mean speed, or it can mean reassurance that code will be easy to understand and refactor in the future (which compounds speed).

The past few months I’ve been working heavily with Python type hints and pydantic which makes it bearable.

Golang is strongly typed but it’s difficult to transform data handily with one-liners.

I’ve used Java and Spring but it’s very verbose

In my experience, TypeScript and its ecosystem has been very productive. It runs on backend and frontend, and the type system is very expressive. I always reach for it first.


There are some videos going around on Twitter that show the Apple ad in reverse. It's kind of cool how that simple change also reverses the impression of destruction into one of creation and appreciation for the arts


this is awesome! how would you contrast this with https://github.com/antfu-collective/ni?


That is my thought as well. But then, wouldn't it be better to get a separate cheap phone and install ChatGPT or Claude on it?

Purely from a hardware perspective, a phone has all the sensors, chips etc needed for AI applications, so I'm puzzled why Humane and Rabbit thought that a standalone device was a better idea.


this is cool! how would you contrast this with Plasmo, a similar framework?

Great question!

The biggest difference, in my opinion, is that Plasmo is a framework, which means you have to learn its abstractions and rely on specific samples tailored for these abstractions to create new extensions. There are config files and specific rules to follow that are not necessarily related to browser extensions.

On the other hand, Extension.js allows developers to create extensions using the standard extension APIs and abstracts only the configuration files, without the need to learn the tooling specifics. This way, a sample from Chrome or MDN that works with a manifest file as the source of truth requires no refactoring to work with Extension.js, making it easier to get started and prototype new projects.


I’ve used Plasmo without touching their framework (essentially using it for HMR and bundling) and it works pretty well

But it’s never a bad thing to have two projects solving a painful problem


Plasmo looks extremely useful. Have you used it to develop any extensions?


I use Plasmo. Strongly recommend it. So much so I gave them a shout-out in a blog post just this Sunday (https://moddable.app/blog/unofficial-mod-support).

I don't really use the framework stuff but HMR that works really well is just chefs kiss.


I use it and it does a lot of what I used to do manual deployment

so I was wondering the same thing as GP, could this be a self-hosted plasmo of sorts


Channel 5 on YouTube does a good job presenting this same view point

Whether it's the border crisis, or drug addiction, the numerous wars fought, or the polarization of society, the aim is for the ruling elite to divide and rule, and continue extracting wealth
