Well said. I’m literally afraid of the cloud console dashboards from the big providers. That’s especially true with the quagmire that is AWS. It’s so easy to leave a resource turned on that you are no longer using, and so hard to tell which

Yes, I get the impression he has been fighting this fight internally since the day he arrived. He can’t exactly talk about how infuriating it must be, but I look forward to his memoir.

I think this is true at larger organizations, but even a “small/medium” startup can easily sign contracts for single services for $100k+, and in my experience, salespeople really do care about commissions at those price points. A lot

> Filesystems, databases, all kinds of systems do this. They have some hacks to prevent it from corrupting the entire dataset, but lost writes are accepted. Woah, those are _really_ strong claims. "Lost writes are accepted"? As

You could argue that they were pandering to certain powers then and are pandering now.

Hasn’t the definition of autism in the DSM changed to the point of requiring only a single characteristic to be “technically” on the spectrum, whereas it used to require many more criteria? I think it’s literally “not what it used to be”. I

Yes! Reminds me of the “Stop writing Dead Programs” talk. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33270235

Yes! Thank you! He is talking about AI generated summaries being inaccurate, which is plenty to get up in arms about. A lot of folks here hate AI and YouTube and Google and stuff, but it would be more productive to hate them for what they a

Thank you for the details. This makes a lot of sense!

This is where “managed” bug bounty programs like BugCrowd or HackerOne deliver value: only telling you when there is something real. It can be a full time job to separate the wheat from the chaff. It’s made worse by the incentive of the rep

I have also been surprised that personal search engines are not a solved problem. “We” have actually known how to do decent search for a long time, including across images and the entire freaking internet for over two decades, but it’s not

This _sounds_ really neat, and I'm very curious about this! If it helps, I wanted to give you my stream-of-consciousness as I explored your post and site as a _total_ newcomer. I am a bit confused about what it can dop, and I bet it&#x

Unlike a lot of other commenters, I found this to be an interesting approach. Text files are good. Having an integrated environment that combines files and channels and collaboration seems like a neat idea, and I could imagine building all

I hadn’t seen these yet but have been low-key looking for this for a while. I think something like a polyglot notebook might be a better “system” for a person or an LLM to manipulate to achieve something…

This is clever! I've recently begun using https://cuttle.xyz , which is for 2d Vector editing. One thing they do, that I like, is that by default you can stay in their editor and perform basic tasks, but you can "escape

Looks really cool. In reading through the FAQ, it says this: Q: "How are text features handled?" A: "In the local package version text features are encoded as categoricals without considering their semantic meaning. Our API a

Very cool! Does it load all of the files into context or grep files to find the right ones based on the conversation?

He's responding in good faith to people expressing doubt that they will maintain this pricing tier, and is responding to rebuttals. Whether you agree with his point of view is different.

Well said. I’ve been expecting an obvious spiritual successor for a long time. They have a surprising number of features compared to most platforms. Their databases/redis and features like forking were quite good (as long as you were s

For any label it generates, he uses an embedding model to generate the embedding vector for it. (You could say that "embeds the label in a vector space") Then, he looks at that generated embedding for that label and asks if there

We used it back in the day as well for some non-essential stuff. This post caused me to dig into where hubot stands. It looks like gijoeyguerra upgraded the code to ESM: https://github.com/hubotio/hubot and also wrote&

If you see this as the innocent equivalent of a “content warning,” then I would expect more apps to be flagged. The commenters in that thread point out numerous apps or games that are obviously built around content that is not appropriate f

This hides those apps from the search unless that user enables the NSFW filter. When seen through that lens, I can’t imagine the overlap of users who are searching for a Bible app and who also want to show NSFW apps with them. When seen thr

It also hides these apps from the search by default unless you enable the NSFW filter.

This is bizarre to me on many levels. 1) Moore’s law is “dead”, but the AI boom is being built on GPUs that get faster, smaller, and cheaper every year? Their biggest problem is that they can’t be manufactured fast enough, and that humanity

To properly turn an agent like Claude Code or codex loose on my email, it seems like having it locally searchable is helpful, so I want to take a look at this.

You are right that there is a difference. I don’t believe we agree on how different they are. I consider political speech to be an extremely common, almost impossible-to-define type of speech. So hard to define that it becomes dangerous to
