So... you couldn't explain what your skills are and then decided you will ask some "AI" to create a tool so that others could prompt it to have it answer what your skills are?

What do you plan to do if someone does give you a job and assign you a task? Tell your employer to prompt some tool to explain why you cannot complete that task?


Recently, I have been using many ai assisted coding tools. My favourite has been cursor, it feels clean, fast and allows me to edit with precision. A friend of mine told me about loveable and showed me his poorly built web app with no functionality. I gave it a go and found that this platform did not do well unless heavily prompted with requirements and specifications. I made my own tool to help engineer requirements before using one of these platforms and I have gotten great results so far. I am building the next version of my tool breta.ai using it, which I then put into loveable for a few prompts then edit offline in cursor. It feels difficult to find a great coding flow with so many new tools and coding paradigm shifts, but for me this has worked well. By getting a strong SRS before coding you can force tools like loveable/cursor to code specific features and conform to specifications. Please check it out and let me know if it works for you

Don't launch (yet). Instead, ask those users who gave you info for some feedback on your product. Then you have launched without it being a launch.

Launching is in the eye of the beholder. If you launch to 10k people that is 10k 1 person launches. That's all. A single 1 person launch is the same in many ways.

Except any buzz etc. But don't worry about that.


12j34 is 12j + 34 or 12 + 34j?

I can't read the tone of this post, but "AI" as it stands as a marketing term for the last ~45 years has little to do with rigor. These are workers producing profit, not scientists. Ethics has nothing to do with it. Scientists deal with empiricism, not sales.

Raises my eye brow, even before watching Huberman. A week of drinking everyday makes you feel shit.

DeskTrack is more than just an attendance tool—it's a powerful employee productivity and engagement platform. In today’s dynamic work environments, especially with remote and hybrid models, fostering engagement goes beyond monitoring log-in times. Here’s how DeskTrack stands out:

> If all we were interested in was moving the weights around, you’d be right to use a tool to help you.

Does the use of a quantifiable metric like a GPA not exacerbate this? In a world where people take a GPA seriously, you'd have to be irrational to not consider cheating a viable option.

You could say the same about credit score and dating apps. These institutions assist the most predatory and harm the most vulnerable.


It's HN bait. Mention another use of MCP is a good way to generate traffic. It worked.


For those completely lost on what MCP means: https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-context-protocol

It's not clear what benefit or use this is intended to provide (presumably they would have detailed its functionality if they intended to communicate this), but I assume it's ~super meaningful. I assume it's~ a scraping endpoint to add a url.

Edit: can't figure out how to use strikeout; please interpret the tildes as such.


Yea but the world they created wasn't one anyone wanted or asked for any more than our own reality caters to us; it is intended to portray life as it was in the nineties. To accept this as ideal is to accept that we currently live in an ideal world, which is extremely difficult to accept.

The production of LSD was highly concentrated, the DEA claimed that after Pickford's arrest, availability dropped by 99.5%, it looks quite a while to recover. His supply basically was the entirety of demand at the time.

I write music to create experiences, help me understand myself, much better, and even communicate in relationships. Suno has become a huge part of journaling in my process that really brings the journal to life!

Another funny story is Nokia. They started as a paper company or something like that. Wikipedia page has a photo of Nokia-brand toilet paper rolls.

Overall, this kind of business shift is not rare. It's good to be reminded from time to time though, that businesses change over time. Same goes for other institutions (say, universities, countries...). Puts things in perspective.

I am honestly shocked about the gaming industry size thing though. No joke, are videogames more influential in pop culture than film and music now? I really have a hard time picturing that. But when I was growing up, being a nerd would get you bullied. How does it work now?

Finally, regarding the downfall of legacy media: it's very simple, the way I see it. Back then, you only had two sets of conversations: (1) the people you personally knew, and (2) the one in the legacy media. So the legacy media had a huge power over the official narrative. People always trusted (1) more, but it was very limited in scope. With the rise of the Internet, discussion forums such as this one, (1) started to include conversations with people all over the world, so people ditched (2) in favor of that. As that got to big, we started to get astroturfing etc... that's where we are now.

Cool article.


Do you have the link to this alleged government-produced e2e software so we can inspect ourselves? I realize they have an incentive to appear incompetent, but surely there must be evidence (further than your testimony) of such gossip popping up somewhere

This is really cool. I think for purposes of teaching, a way to help students design first and ask for help questions later might be extremely beneficial especially if knowledge or herestics were used.

Planning for and expecting are not the same thing. This is just a bad-faith interpretation.

Tbh, I am surprised this isn't possible. One would assume sampling a signal is the fundamental property of working with hardware.

> which is mostly in glutamergic cells in the shell of the nucleus accumbens(s)

i'm not really convinced this is any better fit for "reward" than other explanations. What evidence is there that such a reward system exists in the first place?


Many seem worried about the safety of the insects. An author responded as mentioned in the article.

> The experiments did not harm the cicadas, co-author Naoto Nishida, now at the University of Tokyo, told New Scientist. "Some of them wanted to run away," he said. "Others were like, 'OK, use my abdomen.'"


There must be a balance.

Recently I met some people that were constantly filming and taking pictures of everything. It was ridiculous IMO, for the same reasons OP mentions.

This is not new. For me, it began with the rise of the smartphone. So I made it a point not to waste my time photographing things.

10 years later, I regret having essentially no pictures of anything. In particular, no "good" or "frameable" pictures (blurry pictures from funny angles don't count...). Especially from important moments. Yes, I was there living the moment. But with a picture, I could relive it for a bit.

It's not hard to find the balance, though, I guess. You don't have to constantly be filming everything. Maybe just get the group together for one picture at the end of the event and that's it. Good enough.

That's what'll I try from now on at least. Report back in 10 years...


Well yea as soon as someone starts acting like humans communicate well, let alone the mind-reading behavior you're describing, I'm completely lost.

Thanks a lot for the kind words! Really appreciate your excitement—music data can be surprisingly personal and fun to explore. Would love to hear what you think after trying it out. If you spot anything missing or have ideas, I’m all ears!

Sorry, which points did you find contradictory?

Are you sure your project is done for? It seemed kind of neat in hindsight. Why do you think so?

Well since you claim the article does check all the boxes no point reading it.

More impotent rage internet spam, zero direct call to action politically. Just circling existential dread in different words, I’ll bet.

The social gossip changed and no one knows which way is up despite the sky being right there still?


I can say that going from a place that had all of that observability tooling set up to one that was at the "ssh'ing into a box and greping a log" stage, you best believe I missed company A immensely. Even knowing which box to ssh into, which log file to grep, and which magic words to search far was nigh impossible if you weren't the dev that set up the machine and wrote the bug in the first place.

Fair enough--I'll be more mindful next time. Thanks for letting me know.

> They all include blockchain identifiers. I've looked up the blockchain addresses; none of them have ever received payments. This is an ineffective scam.

How do you know they don’t make a new address for each message or maybe for every x messages?
