Thanks for making Hister, I've been using it for a few days (~7k docs) and I'm impressed so far.

I had an eerily similar experience interviewing at a similar public SaaS co recently.

Ten years ago, maybe

Wow, this might seal the deal for "SaaS-pocalypse". I imagine the upside is high for Spoons considering the wealth of data and a well-oiled product enshittification playbook.

"I hope our names are touching on the watchlist"

Choosing what to remember is my biggest challenge!

This is absurd and I love it.

As an example, webfonts can make rendered text differ from the underlying text that ends up on your clipboard.

Rendered text cannot be assumed to equal the underlying text, unfortunately

This, and some results smartly ignoring the selected sort order because gmail suggests you "follow up", both work together to paint a vivid picture of a disassociated product team who no longer understands their customer.

Fascinating, and arguably an illustration of why the bifurcation of responsibility is interesting in the first place.

I see. It still feels like a bit of an oddly solemn way of saying "this is the part we admit responsibility for"

I'm enjoying learning about these hard problems, but this line about credit made me chuckle:

> We helped prepare the manuscripts and formalize the proofs in Lean, and we take responsibility for their correctness

Offering to take responsibility for the correctness of a proof written in Lean feels like volunteering to be the fall guy in case someone finds a flaw in basic arithmetic, no?

Interesting to see they shipped an "anti-slop" taste skill:

> description: Anti-slop frontend skill for landing pages, portfolios, and redesigns. The agent reads the brief, infers the right design direction, and ships interfaces that do not look templated. Real design systems when applicable, audit-first on redesigns, strict pre-flight check.

> - *PREMIUM-CONSUMER PALETTE BAN (mandatory, second-most-recurring AI-tell):* - For premium-consumer briefs (cookware, wellness, artisan, luxury, heritage craft, DTC home goods, etc.)... - Backgrounds: `#f5f1ea`, `#f7f5f1`...

> Landing pages and portfolios are *visual products*. Text-only pages with fake-screenshot divs are slop.

I remember this behavior. I think it would be more historically accurate to omit pointer cursors on expandable treeview items, too

Neat project. I wonder how a small model could interpret movement data to provide personalized improvement suggestions e.g. "you're weaker targeting left than right, but only under these conditions"

I think as I've gotten older, the fear of expressing myself has increasingly turned into a sense of duty to do it anyway. The more people feel pressured into silence, the more important it seems not to be.

Have you tried asking for an SVG with the same level of detail you specified in that prompt, though? https://github.com/simonw/pedalican/blob/main/run/prompts/ro...

I'd be interested to see what comes out, but it also highlights an curious prompt-control-comparison question

What does good look like?

Asylum-seekers, domestic abuse victims, sex trafficking victims, indentured servitude and modern slavery, etc. Access to guidance on government websites represents a way out of society's most dangerous situations for vulnerable people, and getting caught browsing the wrong help article can be risky. Automated intelligent surveillance isn't outside of the realms of the imagination, either, which is troubling

For all of the advertising of GPT 5.6 in this charming little game, the chatgpt.com UI has failed to load in the past several hours for me

A clean reading experience appears to be a unique selling point these days

Can you explain which benchmarking differences you'd expect to see from this hardware, considering?

Neopets just arrived in Fortnite, which felt like a good time to go public with some of my related but greyer engineering history. Happy to answer any questions anyone might have!

Perhaps if less spending went towards their private aviation interests LTT labs could review a piece of hardware that was released _this_ year, or maybe extend their narrow testing process to cover real-world use metrics like TTFT. Not to mention the lack of real value-perf comparison to CUDA

As someone who's self-taught, I find this argument tantalizingly validating, but I'm constantly reminded that universities offer more than just the material. Between peer networks and "alumni" connections or even just the ability to email a former professor or TA for advice, these opportunities just aren't really available independently. Skipping college might not limit what you can learn but it sure narrows the network and institutional support available to you.

A good start. From 2024: "A company allegedly tracked people’s visits to nearly 600 Planned Parenthood locations across 48 states and provided that data for one of the largest anti-abortion ad campaigns in the nation, according to an investigation" - https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/13/planned-parenthood-...

Yes, this should be a monster machine. Ampere is an older generation, so I expect that's where some of your issues have been

> I am less worried about prompt injection now.

Why? The exfiltration vector was known, the sample size was small, and the safety instructions were likely statically positioned. In regular operating practice, none of these three guarantees may hold.

> The name is always lowercase: peerd.

Gotta love it when agent instructions get blurted out in user-facing documentation
