bsjshshsb··on AI's Oppenheimer Moment
Slurrrrrrp, the sound of the boot being licked. a16z wants sone lucrative gov contracts?

For lol kicks:

1. Comparing AI to nukes (not that AI isn't dangerous but it isn't nuke-like in it's game theory)

2. Comparing WW2 circumstances to now.

3. This beggars belief to just drop this err.... assumption... and leave it as a major pillar of an argument:

> More significant, though, is the war’s rationale. The primary explanation for American involvement has been to prevent Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons.

If this were true US should provide evidence, and get allies and congress involved and onboard.

4. Above has link to Truth Social.

Shame the first 5 or so paragraphs were excellent, I wondered if a16z writing had finally deslopped. But no.

bsjshshsb··on Ask HN: What breaks first when your team grows from 10 to 50 people?
People need to transition from 100% code* to 80-90% code and 10-20% do things that are good for the company and team's productivity (using that word in the broadest sense). You want all hands to spot the cracks and fix them. You probably want to create a culture where people do that.

*code = code, design, discuss code, write tickets, test etc. i.e. get the shit done on the plan

You may need to transition to making willingness and ability to do that (i.e. be an owner) a hiring criteria and performance criteria.

bsjshshsb··on Ask HN: What breaks first when your team grows from 10 to 50 people?
Art is knowing what to document. And how to organize it. This is probably not a solved problem and needs constant care and refactoring like the code itself.

Giving people additional documented responsibilities helps. Lucy is responsible for API docs and swagger up to date and for building that out as business needs. Varun is responsible for coding practices docs. And so on. If something is out of date they update it. Use Confluence or Notion or something else good.

bsjshshsb··on Why AI systems don't learn – On autonomous learning from cognitive science
Yes I like that /clear starts me at zero again and that feels nice but I am scared that'll go away.

Like when Google wasn't personalized so rank 3 for me is rank 3 for you. I like that predictability.

Obviously ignoring temperature but that is kinda ok with me.

I wonder how dogs get on with RGB presentation?
bsjshshsb··on The pleasures of poor product design
Use an agent for all CLI work.
bsjshshsb··on Mistral AI Releases Forge
Id training or FT > context? Anyone have experience.

Is it possible to retrain daily or hourly as info changes?

bsjshshsb··on Kagi Translate now supports LinkedIn Speak as an output language
Exactly it is just a prompt.
bsjshshsb··on Microsoft's 'unhackable' Xbox One has been hacked by 'Bliss'
Not calling something un(bad thing)able is a lesson we learned back from the Titanic
bsjshshsb··on Node.js needs a virtual file system
Not a Lisp fan?
bsjshshsb··on Claude Tips for 3D Work
Got some excellent results vibe coding 3.js games with Claude. Maybe for printable things it is harder as precision is important though.
bsjshshsb··on Beyond has dropped “meat” from its name and expanded its high-protein drink line
Ok but I am wondering about the truth of:

> All protein on the planet, was made from sunlight and photosynthesis

bsjshshsb··on Every layer of review makes you 10x slower
Exaxtly. Can you get a lawyer on the phone now or do you wait ~ 5 hours. How about a doctor appt. Or a vet appt. Or a mechanic visit.

Needing full human attention on a co.plex task from a pro who can only look at your thing has a wait time. It is worse when there are only 2 or 3 such people in the world you can ask!

bsjshshsb··on Beyond has dropped “meat” from its name and expanded its high-protein drink line
Aren't some amino acids synthesized in animals?
bsjshshsb··on Beyond has dropped “meat” from its name and expanded its high-protein drink line
I was having trouble understanding the issue then I realized 87.9 MILLion with an M. Ok I see lol.
bsjshshsb··on Starlink Mini as a failover
I noticed the pattern. 5G disappears when ISP is down. Everyone WFH trying to get on I guess.
bsjshshsb··on The American Healthcare Conundrum
Why wasn't it set up so the government is the insurer. Rather than 3rd partying it. It is akin to federal reserve using wells fargo to store their money.
bsjshshsb··on Show HN: Context Gateway – Compress agent context before it hits the LLM
They are another AI avalanche skiier (or tidal wave) surfer. Potentially a 1bn company. Most likely need to pivot after next weeks claude update.

Good thing is take what they learn into the pivot.

So much AI startup I see where "why do I need that anymore...".

bsjshshsb··on Show HN: Context Gateway – Compress agent context before it hits the LLM
Is it all open? Or is compression algo behind a cloud service?
bsjshshsb··on The 49MB web page
Maybe the old "speed the page up and fewer people will bounce" adage applies?
bsjshshsb··on LLMs can be exhausting
Use AI to review.
bsjshshsb··on The 49MB Web Page
49MB or homelessness? There is surely other options.
