That’s a long Soul.md document! They could have gone with “you are Linus Torvalds”.

My impression is that at the end of the season, there's like 0 XXL, and 8XS, and 8Ms, but maybe that's just a perception problem.

Here's an asumption: When you get into the overweight category, sizing becomes a lot more difficult, because then the ratios that are relatively standard for non overweight bodies (like waistline to tallness) completely break down. So

Yeah, when the G1s dance with kids, I realized how small they actually were. Definitely not the same category.

This absolutely. It was already the case that the hardest part of a project was getting people interested enough that they invest time into trying it. But now, the fight to get people's attention on new projects is going to get an awfu

I started to do this as well. Instead of prompting: "build x", I now prompt: "What questions do you need to ask me in order to have all the information you need to build x". It usually writes a long list of questions, wh

A lot of people obsess over phrasing. Like for instance you want to tell a coworker his work is shit, but don't know how to put it in a way that's not going hurt them or make you look like an asshole. I know people who'd pote

CEOs have no clue what's going on at the IC level. I bet many CEO PA are using AI for many tasks. It's typically a role where AI is very useful. Answering emails, moving meetings around, booking and buying a bunch of crap.

So HN commenters only are trolls now?

Great article. On HN though “dark web agent” sounds like some AI bot did the work. It was far more interesting the way they did it.

what language/framework are you asking it to work with?

You know what works for me? Read these kinds of articles, and then immediately get to work just to prove the guy wrong. I'm quite pumped.

People who get so annoyed by other people’s habits should really work on themselves rather than writing long blog posts about why others should bend to their own world view. Or at least make it funny.

I mean that they're not really numbers. Usually they explain it something like: oh, at first people didn't know what 2-5 added up to, but then we invented negative numbers. Well, complex numbers are that but for square roots of ne

Whoever coined the terms ‘complex numbers’ with a ‘real part’ and ‘imaginary part’ really screwed a lot of people..

> Current agents are not nearly smart enough to "execute a plan" Well I don't know about derailing some critical system, obviously, but when coding Claude definitely maps a plan out and then executes it. It's not flaw

Even if the posts are fake. Given what the LLMs have shown so far (Grok calling itself MechaHitler, and shit of that nature), I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that agents with unchecked access to computers and the internet

At this stage pretty much all ads on the internet are scams

I am definitely using Opus as an interactive collaborator that I steer mid-execution, stay in the loop and course correct as it works. I mean Opus asks a lot if he should run things, and each time you can tell it to change. And if that&#x27

SpaceX is too big to fail for sure. If it goes bankrupt, it'll be broken down, and trimmed down to the succesful launching operation. But I don't think it's the reason it's buying xAI. SpaceX buying xAi means that xAI sh

the employer raises the capital, so that you invest the someone else’s money. This has 2 main advantages: 1. You have limited downside. if you lose all the investor’s money, you don’t lose any of your own money - and contractually you still

Yeah I've been freelancing fully remote from France since 2016. Clients are in the US. I work in quantitative finance, it's a fairly complicated field. I use Claude Code myself to code faster, but at the end of the day, the guys I

The real promotion is when you get out of this corporate bullshit. So glad I don't have to deal with any of that crap anymore.

Trump is lowering interest rates, fueling the bubbles. We can’t know when it’s going to happen, but there is a good chance that one is going to be super bad. We basically borrowed our way out of the 2008 crash and through covid, but we have

Tesla can compete with BYD all right. They have a better brand, they are still a status symbol. They could totally build the best cars if they wanted to. But competing with BYD would mean becoming "just a car company". And that&#x

Probably the only added value is direct notifications of new content. Patreon is probably going to shut down the payment feature from the app and orient people to the website. That's what I'd do... And bad mouth Apple. Given Patre
