capiki··on The next era of AI is about infrastructure, not just models
It would more honest to disclose you work for Databricks
capiki··on Rewriting Bun in Rust
do you think price per task completed will rise as well?
capiki··on We charge $10k a week to delete AI-generated code
It's the AI-generated writing that seems off (I'm assuming that's what OP meant)
capiki··on AISLE Discovers 38 CVEs in OpenEMR Healthcare Software
What about having the checklist and having an AI tool use it to catch things at review time (or even development time)?
capiki··on Tell HN: Drowning in information but still missing everything

capiki··on My AI skeptic friends are all nuts
Let’s see the evals
capiki··on My AI skeptic friends are all nuts
But Bob isn’t getting better every 6 months
capiki··on Show HN: We Put Chromium on a Unikernel (OSS Apache 2.0)
Cool (and congrats on the demo)! Sounds like a promising approach. I work on browser use agents and one of the most difficult problems now is bot detection. Curious if you know how this impacts bot detection/fingerprinting?
capiki··on Show HN: Steel.dev – An open-source browser API for AI agents and apps
Can you say more about your product plans? It looks like this is directly competing with Browserbase — how will you differentiate? Looking forward to seeing how the product and company grows
capiki··on The flood that filled the Mediterranean Sea - in one year
I loved your style. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
capiki··on I turned a failing coffee blog into a $1M exit by focusing
The blog was making $30k profit and got acquired for $1m? Doesn't that seem super low? Obviously this type of exit wouldn't have VC-startup multiples, but still.
capiki··on Make the “semantic web” web 3.0 again – with the help of SQLite
As luhn said, it’s more about a standard data format than a db choice. If every client has to figure out what schema a website uses for a recipe, let’s say, then Web 3.0 is still unrealistic.

Schema.org exists, but all websites adopting it seems unlikely.

That being said, I can maybe see a world in which one company adopts schema.org schemas and the rest have to follow suit to be competitive in that particular domain.

capiki··on Ask HN: Is Web 3.0 just crypto or something more?
I think 1) will probably never get "solved," but that's ok. I don't think the vision of DAOs replacing traditional companies will ever materialize, for example. It's just too inefficient.

What I see blockchains enabling (to what degree, tbd) is ownership of digital assets without a central party. Take concert tickets, for example. Imagine a world where transaction fees are nominal and blockchains are scalable. An artist/venue can mint tickets and have people buy them directly from them, no TicketMaster with 20% "convenience" fees needed. Now, of course, there will exist a product (probably a winner takes-all, as usual), that will serve as the UI to mint the tickets. But a significant value add of such products, the validation of tickets via the authority of their name, will be replaced by the blockchain. I don't know exactly what that'll look like, but I don't think that's insignificant.

capiki··on Renaissance executives agree to pay around $7B to settle dispute with IRS
I mean, they pay for it via salaries, and the people who lose money in the market also pay them.
capiki··on Visa Buys CryptoPunk #7610
Any pointers to projects doing/enabling microtransactions in crypto?
capiki··on Marc Andreessen on Investing and Tech
What law is that?
capiki··on How to Work Hard
Rationality really only makes sense in relation to goals, as far as I can see. If your goal is to meet your basic needs, then it’s irrational to work all day. If your goal is market domination, then I’d say working all day is a very rational thing to do
capiki··on Minimum Viable Self
> “Nobody is confusing the act for the real person except the young and naive.”

Aren’t many people (most?) who use social media young and naive?

capiki··on Monetizing open-source is problematic
I may have missed it but I didn't see anywhere that Retool is paying for a subscription. Even if they are, I'm not sure that entitles them to free use of the Fakercloud CDN.
capiki··on Launch HN: YSplit (YC W19) – Automatically split and pay any bill
Lovely fonts! Don't have anything very constructive to say, just that the site looks super crisp and clean. Congrats on your launch, and good luck:)
capiki··on Goldman Sachs executive quits after making millions from Dogecoin
Who said he was informed?
capiki··on Market is the most important factor in a startup's success or failure (2007)
Absolutely. Bumble is my go-to example for this sort of business. Essentially a clone of Tinder with one small (but clearly important) change.
capiki··on 5 years of leetcode with no progress. I'm giving up
Yes
capiki··on Tim Berners-Lee: We need social networks where bad things happen less
Nit on the homepage: TV's -> TVs
capiki··on Launch HN: Queenly (YC W21) – Marketplace and search engine for formalwear
Congrats on your launch! Your website is super straightforward and well-designed. Best of luck:)
capiki··on Ask HN: What happens when someone copies an NFT onto another blockhain?
Isn’t the problem also on the seller side, where anyone can claim that they’re Bansky and then a trusted central 3rd party has to verify if they actually are?
capiki··on Ask HN: What happens when someone copies an NFT onto another blockhain?
So... at the end of the day, it’s still centralized?
capiki··on Ask HN: What happens when someone copies an NFT onto another blockhain?
No, I don't think you're missing anything. I had the same question, and midway through typing it realized that it's really all about verifying that the person who signed your NFT was in fact the artist that created it.
capiki··on Ask HN: What happens when someone copies an NFT onto another blockhain?
Nvm. Seems like time has nothing to do with it, just if it gets signed by the creator. Not sure how that part gets verified though.
capiki··on Ask HN: What happens when someone copies an NFT onto another blockhain?
So then the original Picasso is known to be original because it was signed by its creator, whose key is known? How is that key verified initially?
