> It would definitely be a net positive if someone manages to scrape and compare their prices.

There's a few projects doing that for DE / AT at least.


Can you share them? I recently looked for such projects and didn't really find anything that works well.

The issue is that each market sets their own prices and I believe REWE is the only large one where you can fairly easily scrape the product catalogue. I thought about it in a shopping list context, so you'd need to make it location dependent to be useful. But you could do a lot of cool things with it. Like choose a basket of goods and it creates a route for you: "Go to supermarket A and buy goods XYZ, then to supermarket B and buy ABC"


There's this one which got some publicity, doesn't seem to be updated any more but it worked for all these retailers listed and is open source: https://github.com/badlogic/heissepreise

https://www.supermarkt.at https://preisrunter.at https://sparpionier.com


Ideally it should also look up if they are currently in season in your location, so many possibilities!

You can already filter by `isRegional`. That's maybe close enough.

I remember a lot of unicorn pages back in the days. Maybe the status page was just not updated that regularly back then?

I think the unicorn is only for web pages. Things like git api services might be broken independently (and often are!) and they might show up on the status page after some time.

If this is reasonable or not is pretty hard to judge without any info on that "ONE" task.

I only asked Claude to rewrite Linux in Rust.

I'd ask it to rewrite Claude code in Rust, but it's creator apparently wrote a book on Typescript..

There's so many different models, from hosted to local and there's almost no switching cost as most of them are even api compatible or supported by one of the gateways (Bifrost, LiteLLM,...).

There's many things to worry about but which LLM provider you choose doesn't really lock you in right now.


But compared to GitHub it's much more complicated in terms of UX as it covers more enterprise use cases that GitHub doesn't.

I'm a bit confused what you mean. I have to use GitLab for work and don't see much difference. Some UI elements look a bit more complex than on GH but other than that it's working the same way. Less buggy as well.

Personally I host forgejo for my private apps and have had no issues with that either.


Why do you think this? It really isn't.

It really is… I’ve worked with Gitlab for years and moving to GitHub was like a breath of fresh air, everything is much less cluttered. Not saying it’s perfect, but GitHub just feels simpler

It's there, just a few paragraphs in and also on https://www.asimov.press/about, it's not that hard to find if you are really curious.

Yeah.

I get the impression that if you're uninterested in either reading enough of the press release to get to the parts where they mention what they did, or navigating to the top-level index for the blog, where what they write about is made very plain, then you're not the type of person who would give any shits about what they write about.


No, it was just a poorly structured announcement

It’s an announcement published for their followers and distributed through their own channels to those people. That it doesn’t make sense when detached from that context and put on HN to people with no knowledge of who they are seems very much irrelevant to the goals of writing the post?

That's, like, your opinion, man.

Everyone does that these days and they are becoming AI tells like the em-dash or the blue-glow of the early AI generated images that everyone added to their blog posts.

AI can generate mermaid diagrams, not excalidraw. If you use the mermaid to excalidraw, i guess it can be, but it just looks like a mermaid diagram then and not an excalidraw.

PlantUML is a better ask for LLMs, you have a lot more control over the output

100% agree


we have an excalidraw MCP for claude, it can easily do both :) (Excalidraw is basically just fancy SVG)

oh wow, cool

What are you comparing it to in Germany? Have you tried services like https://www.firma.de that don't make it much more complicated than the Estonian option these days. I have not tried it myself, but I have friends who had good experiences with it.
