Well your site is broken so maybe start...
simoncion•54m ago
It works fine for me. Either it's swamped with traffic, or something sucks ass on your end.

Consider asking AI to add some caching to your basic content site

hugged to death at 8 points and 20 minutes in frontpage.

Please use AI (or anything) to fix your site.

Well, they're using Render which you'd think they'd be able to handle HN traffic. Not a good look for Render as a service, especially when their first item under product is autoscaling.

Edge caching seems to be opt-in

Sorry for the disruption! This is 100x our normal peak traffic, needed to raise the instance limit.

to the people claiming "hugged to death", this website works for me while on a train in rural Germany (anyone who lives in Europe should be all too aware about phone network quality here).

As for the content: fully agree. Human touch is a value in itself. Unfortunately, modern capitalism does not provide incentives to take care about value, because (by capitalism's metrics) value is inefficiency.

The site was back up but now it's down again for some reason.

Artists: No cold-hearted machine can ever replicate the ingenuity, the innate creativity and passionate soul of the artiste.

Later: The villain cat has the catchphrases 'Purrrfect' and 'You must be kitten me'. The snake character makes lotsss of sss noissesss.

This (and all the disgusting "hugged to death, you're dumb, use AI" comments that have replaced HN's normal venom-less "hugged to death" comments) makes me want to leave Hacker News.

It’s a mixed bag. You have insufferable mouth breathing morons who think AGI is here, and on the other hand you have rational - dare I say enlightened - individuals such as yourself.
nozzlegear•16m ago
Why wouldn't a snake character make lots of ssss noises? I've never met one in real life but I have to imagine the tongue is an impediment.
javascriptfan69•13m ago
And yet people still prefer it over AI slop.
rvz•35m ago
All these "principled" people telling others that "they practice what they preach" shooting themselves in the foot with their "production" site down and hugged to death on the front page.

Just ask the AI to set up your site for better uptime if you don't know how to.

bbg2401•13m ago
You say this as if almost every AI generated landing page posted to HN isn't falling apart at the seams.
therobots927•29m ago
Noticing a lot of different variations of “LOL hugged to death. Maybe ask AI to fix your site.” here.

Such juvenile behavior can only be attributed to the general unease and defensiveness demonstrated by members of the AI cult in the face of criticism:

“Your blasphemy against our god has been duly punished… you must pray for his forgiveness.”

ShinyLeftPad•20m ago
These people should know that it's a type designer's website, not a software shop. The site works from here so I know;)
metalman•21m ago
No AI needed for the design and build of custom metal either, and with a similar long human effort that I am privilaged to be aware and part of that I am quite certain cant be handled useing any computational averaging. Funnily enough, I have had and am right now involved in a project that the customer tried to have AI design, but that the most basic calculations were wrong. It's worse, as even humans working with highly developed design and estimating software, cant deliver accurate shop plans for real world projects that involve irregular surfaces or curves, and changing slopes that must be measured on site. AI will help you enjoy your cubes and parallograms, and cover them with realistic textures.

What is the point of such a clear false equivalency, aside from snideness?
