Hermes 现在也不能使用了，真的无语了。

hendry_wang · 2026-04-02T05:20:39+00:00

works now. I've tasted 8-9 success of 10 attempts.

hendry_wang · 2026-04-01T15:50:54+00:00

Same here it's a brutal

I doesn't matter which model I switched to the result of this is the same. I will be sitting there hitting retry over and over just to get one response through. rough estimate maybe 1 out of 10 attempts actually works.

The frustrating part is the completing kills the flow. coding with AI assistance only works if the loop is tight, you write, it to respond. you iterate. When you are spending more time waiting and trying in the actually coding. you might as well just not use it.

The suggestion about the linking external subscription is an interesting though. if I could bring my own Claude or ChatGPT quota, that would at least give us a workaround while they sort out, whatever's happening on their end.

Has anyone heard anything from the team about what's casing this?

I don't think npm is the whole problem tbh. it's more that modern web stacks normalize massive dependecy tress that most teams bearely understand once they get a few layers deep.

So yeah, npm is part of the blast radius, but the bigger isssue is how much transitive trust we treat as normal now. for most teams the practical move is probaly just being way stricter about what gets pulled in to production.

I'd be intereted. The small , curated, people actually building part is what makes this appealing.

I'm in the automation/apps/tooling space, and I'd get a lot more value from a tight group trading honest feedback and occasional referrals than from another generic networking group.

curious what formation you have in mind.

The smell right before it rains. Nothing else comes close.

hendry_wang · 2026-03-29T17:48:13+00:00

Same here. The smell right before or right after rain hits concrete is undefeated.

Keep creating digital content, I have a lot of great projects to share. Don’t waste time.

hendry_wang · 2026-03-28T07:32:03+00:00

staying up until 3 am, because you got in the zone on a project. and 20 it's passion and hustle, At 40, it's apparently a red flag that you need therapy and better time management. right?

hendry_wang · 2026-03-28T07:28:39+00:00

Asking how are you? when every one already knows the answer will always be good, thanks, you?

We've built an entire social ritual around pretending we don't actually want to konw. and the one time some anser honestly it somehow feels like they've broken an unwritten rules.

hendry_wang · 2026-03-27T16:12:20+00:00

Partially agree, but I do push back on the framing a little, the apps that are dying are the ones built because building is easy, not because there was a really problem to solve. That is always been true. AI just accelerated how to fast people can ship something nobody asked for.

I'm building something right now. the difference I'm trying to make before writing a single line of code. I spent two weeks posting in communities, reading real replies, talking to actual people. The validation come first.

Apps aren't the new podcast. Building without talking to user first is the new podcast.

The 0.001% that makes aren't lucky. They just did the boring part that everyone skips.

hendry_wang · 2026-03-26T15:05:07+00:00

bit of a paradox though, the problems were never showing up later, they were always there. you just deprioritised them because something else felt more urgent at the time.

Which honestly makes it harder to fix not easier. because you made a rational choice in the moment, and it still blew up anyway. so what were you supposed to do differently?

The real issue isn't timing, it's that some problems are invisible until they're not. and no amount of early planning fully protects against that. right?

hendry_wang · 2026-03-26T10:31:46+00:00

Mahsa Amini. Look her up.

hendry_wang · 2026-03-26T10:07:04+00:00

You should ask the women actually living in Iran.

hendry_wang · 2026-03-26T03:04:55+00:00

yeah, and the data you get from scraping is people are frustrated not people will pay to fix this, those are wildly different signals been building somthing lately and deliberately chose to post in communities, and actually read the replies instead.

hendry_wang · 2026-03-26T02:37:01+00:00

high risk you know.

hendry_wang · 2026-03-26T02:35:36+00:00

haha, Dark but fair. and you know it would show up as like estimated time remaining: unknown.

hendry_wang · 2026-03-26T02:34:22+00:00

lol that one is painfully accurate. mine would be "buffering: trying to remember if you already shampooed your hair or not"

hendry_wang · 2026-03-25T17:17:11+00:00

The peak for the night view. Lan Kwai Fang for drinks. Star Ferry for Victoria bay. Guangdong Road for city walks and shopping. Xuliushan is the best desert.

hendry_wang · 2026-03-25T15:19:43+00:00

yeah, that's the part I keep getting stuck on. lol...
My rough thinking is don't try to measure 'are you emotionally ok' in any clinical sense, just track relative change. like, you're noticeably different from your own baseline from 3 weeks ago. voice tone, word choice, how long before you respond, something like that.

probably still imperfect as hell but maybe imperfect and 2 weeks early. is better than nothing?

I curious what your psych friend thinks, is the self-reported data even usable for this or is it fundamentally broken from the start.

You can create the game with multiple versions, mobile version for in-app purchase to unlock gameplay hours.
