True, it doesn't apply everywhere. I'm thinking rights get cut when abused. Under the Meiji Constitution (1889-1947), Japan's emperor was Commander-in-Chief, and after the end of WW2, he was not. But even as a figurehead, he

Sam Altman had been pushing hard for UBI back in his VC days [0] He also pushed hard for AI governance, which people probably just laughed off [1][2]. Shortly after those blogs on the dangers of AI, he decides to set up OpenAI. Dude doesn&#

A mantra that worked for me: Productive engineers are happy engineers. Happy engineers are productive engineers. It's a self-sustaining loop. One option is a minimum of happiness - brightly lit office, decent food, music. The other opt

I've often asked what the point of constitutional monarchies were, but this seems like a good one. The king has nearly no power. He's a figurehead. He's just there to press the "STOP" button when things have gotten

You might want to try Claude Code if you haven't. It's perfect for exactly this plan, then build flow with a ton of documents. A colleague set up some strict code guidelines, right down to say, put constructors at the top, constan

Freelance queries are rushing in again but they're benchmarked against inflated AI expectations. Someone asked for something similar to a meal delivery app, but it had to be in production in 2 weeks. Bro, it would take more than 2 week

There's some other bits like the image endpoint as well.

They nerfed free too. Just yesterday, it felt like I had 50 gpt4o messages and had a 2 hour long conversation with it. Now I'm out with far less use at about 30 min. I'm guessing they'll just announce massive tier generosity

Opus seems to need more babysitting IME, which is great if you are going to actually pair program. Terrible if you like leaving it to do its own thing or try to do multiple things at once.

If you were to objectively rank things, durian would be the best fruit in the world, python would be the best programming language, and the Tesla Model Y is the best car. Everyone has multiple inconsistent opinions on everything because eve

Restrictive privacy laws. Also log into your Claude/OpenAI dashboard and read the logs. Now they log every damn thing that goes through the API and keep it there for a minimum of 30 days without any option to delete (unless you're

Not a fully working app but it can't just be a page with screenshots and a waitlist anymore. Product Hunt is no longer about products; it's a ranking of ideas of products which can't do what's on the tin, so I wouldn&#x2

As long as they're actually the right market and it's the right problem, they're usually happy to share feedback. The problem with landing pages is it's not a feedback form, it funnels people into a waitlist, often witho

Corporates will be that way. YC applicants are asking for $500k to build faster than a team of the smartest people in the world funded over millions per year. If you want to say you're in the top 3% of applicants, it's one input f

First attempt in 2023: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35770094 It was a typical roguelike kind of engine with AI-generated monsters and responses. It was okay, but far too slow, and the mechanics funneled it to being

Privacy laws. Processing government paperwork with LLMs for example. There's a lot of OCR tools that can't be used, and the ones that comply are more expensive than say, GPT-4.1 and lower quality.

No idea. I got Shottr and it was just right. If Cleanshot doesn't have enough, then maybe give it a shot.

In interviews, I do care, but more on why you're using this stack. If you know only one stack and use that for everything, that's pretty bad. If you're thinking, "Hey let's use JS/Kotlin on every part of the

Get a screenshot app. Shottr is awesome. CMD+SHIFT+CTRL+4 and I can take a picture. Paste UI on a GitHub PR. Paste Figma into a LLM. Paste bugs into Slack or a support tool. It does text recognition too, so whenever my wife sends me some ki

Most likely interactive fiction, but made more interactive with LLMs or something. You guys can save the world; I've had enough of that in my career. I started programming to build simulations. I put simulations in my MIT application e

Claude is currently the most prudish LLM. GPT today will happily write on this and all kinds of other taboo things.

This is the main reason I quit freelancing. Working 3-4 hours was great. Money was decent. There's groups for freelancers and solopreneurs and such. But they're not on your side, they're just peers. Eventually I think life st

Where I live, gig riders will run red lights because it ends up increasing their pay for the day by about 30%. They're not being 'exploited' into starvation level pay; some make twice the salary of a factory worker. The ones

Job market is hell, but the startup market is hot. If you can build things, you might want to just pick up an AI coding tool, build a micro-saas, and pitch it. Or keep building up your tool, sell it. This can be done within a month full tim

You should have the why ironed out well before engaging the AI. Draw your UI, model your architecture, etc. If you must have the what before the why, that's perfectly normal and agile, but do it after the LLM is done type. If you do wa
