What kind of OI slop is this?

5.4 Extra high >> Opus 4.6

hmartin··on Cherri – programming language that compiles to an Apple Shortuct
Could you explain more about how the signing setup works?

(That's what held me back most for spending more effort on shortcuts.)

hmartin··on Improving Composer through real-time RL
Step 1: take an open source model with zero acknowledgement.

Step 2: build on someone else's infrastructure innovations with zero acknowledgement.

Step 3: Write a blog post with "unprecedented" and "100x" and "trillions" in the first paragraph.

Seriously, this seems like cool work and enjoyed the post. But my basic trust in them has completely tanked.

It's a fair point but iff you neglect that the overwhelming revenue drivers for these services are large corps who are already locked-in. Devx doesn't matter at all once you're there.

The myopathy among us "online people" is assuming number of voices here and elsewhere correlate to revenue.

It does not.

They should... put work into sacrificing revenue?
hmartin··on Push events into a running session with channels
But can it edit tabs? [1]

hmartin··on Waymo Safety Impact
Using "second order effects" because big words sound cool without understanding the whole point of "second order"...

Nothing can beat tabs/spaces confusion and writing adhoc python tools to work around it: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/11447

hmartin··on Show HN: React-Kino – Cinematic scroll storytelling for React (1KB core)
This seems really cool! However, every one of the template pages look broken if I open them in a new background tab and then switch to it.
hmartin··on My article on why AI is great (or terrible) or how to use it
If you're on a Mac, it can speak the notification instead for more detail!

hmartin··on Eulogy for Dark Sky, a data visualization masterpiece (2023)
I miss it too, so I created a web based weather app directly inspired by Dark Sky: https://github.com/hbmartin/open-sun

hmartin··on Did you read the quarter-million-line license for your Slack app?
Title of this post is blatantly misleading for using the singular 'license'.

But the real question... what will happen with .io TLD? (British Indian Ocean Territory's)
hmartin··on My thoughts on calculating ROI for AI investment at a Series B startup
I wrote a whitepaper intended for an executive audience on the ROI of investing in tools for operational excellence at a startup. It's specifically financial (executive) oriented and not technical, so perhaps you can use it persuasively at your co.

tl;dr (aka ChatGPT's pitch) ... This whitepaper delivers a sharp, data-backed framework for measuring and maximizing the ROI of operational efficiency—equipping leaders with a precise, KPI-driven model, a Monte Carlo-powered NPV simulator, and a tactical 8-week rollout plan. From latency in team alignment to automation payback periods, it translates abstract process friction into financial outcomes with scientific rigor. If you're serious about optimizing internal systems with the same precision you apply to product development, this document is your blueprint.

hmartin··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney, who does work for YC and startups. AMA
Hi Peter, thanks for the AMA.

I'm curious what gaps you see in firm operation software?

I work in legal tech and from what I've seen all of the software focuses on tasks and artifacts (e.g. the many AI letter drafters) as opposed to holistically understanding / optimizing business operation.

Does this fit your sense of the software landscape? Are there other opportunities here beyond case management etc?
