I heard one rationale that has nothing to do with factories > AI data centers. It is the only lever that legislators currently have. They want some bargaining chip to get more control over AI firms.

It does not appear to be AI, and is a passion project by a single developer.

The concept (the X link) is AI-generated with Midjourney, the game isn't.

I would love to understand this in more depth. Any chance you could write up what you found?

This might be a stretch, but I would love to know what outdoor plants are native to my area.

This would be an awesome feature. It would be a good resource for plant identification and I won't inadvertently introduce an invasive species into my local environment.

Looks great. Quick question. When I started it up, Little Snitch immediately told me it made a connection to GitHub and currencies.heynote.com.

Why does a scratch pad need to phone home?

Probably Github for autoupdate and currencies for current currency rates

Correct.

For the paranoid it should be simple to fork Heynote and disable currencies and auto updates.

This is just a tweet that makes a claim without backing, and links to an article that was pulled.

Can we change the URL to the real article if it still exists?

Note, compute is going up in price, but storage should be cheaper[1]. So it depends on your workload if and by how much this will impact you

Definitely. But in our case, compute makes up more than 80% of costs, even though we store a large amount of data. I suspect most big customers will come out much worse from this.

Looks great. I am excited to play with it.

One nit, on your landing page it has a typo, missing "framework /that/ doesn't" > Never get locked into a framework doesn't support your existing tech stack.

Also, your Gallery has highly responsive SPAs, but for some reason the counter here[1] is very slow on a cold load

Not sure it's what you are looking for, but how Spanner mitigated CAP to delivery a relational DB at scale is a really interesting read[1]

Except Google’s RSUs vest every month. So, other than the whims of the market, it’s the same as salary.

I think it's more complicated for Google. If you get above a certain number of shares, they vest every month. If you get a medium number of shares, they vest quarterly. If you get a few, they vest yearly.

This would be a very good counterpoint if Google was the only company in the world. Since it isn't, I don't really understand the relevance.
