isubkhankulov··on Engineer says Claude Code has made his job "soul-sucking"
I feel the only people struggling with this are people who loved programming and syntax.

Product-minded software engineers are thriving. Less tedium, easier refactors, manageable scope creep.

The “hard” part of engineering has moved up to higher level challenges: evals, sandboxes, etc

isubkhankulov··on I resigned from Anthropic today (Jacob Coxon)
I thought so too but found that he does have two publications under his name.
isubkhankulov··on WeatherNext 3
It feels like dark sky was more proactive with push notifications
isubkhankulov··on Watch Los Angeles get built, one building at a time (1880–2026)
Yes, your property tax is high ($17k) because of prop 13 - you are effectively subsidizing others who have sat on their residential and commercial property for 20-30+ years who are paying 25-50% of what you pay for any similar property in the same calendar year!

Your property tax goes up by 2% of your , guessing (relatively recent?) purchase price, and theirs goes up 2% of a much smaller base due to prop 13.

They have no incentive to move, downgrade. And they often use trusts to pass this tax base down to their kids. It’s feels like icky European feudalism.

Again i’m emphasizing that this goes for both residential and commercial buildings.

isubkhankulov··on Google avoids a breakup of its ad tech business
Why assets and not existing antitrust metrics like market share? Assuming market share is reasonably defined
isubkhankulov··on I co-founded Burning Man. The festival has lost its soul
Where? Not in the Bay Area. $300k is middle class there.
isubkhankulov··on Show HN: Eve Software Factory
I’m not a Vercel user but the sense I get is that it’s generally more user friendly compared to traditional clouds.
isubkhankulov··on Show HN: Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum
It worked for me by unmuting my ringer and raising my volume. Agree UX isnt great.
isubkhankulov··on US hires over 2k video gamers as air traffic controllers
The collision in LGA in March revealed to me that not all objects are tracked.
isubkhankulov··on Situational Awareness and the Impending Stock Market Volatility
SA likely didnt lever up with Citadel, it did so via prime brokers which are the big banks (MS, GS, JPM, CS, and/or DB)
isubkhankulov··on LearnVector – Andrew Ng's AI company building one‑to‑one learning experiences
Edtech has historically not had amazing venture outcomes compared to saas, ads, rockets, etc.

Given how much people spend on education, there’s no reason AI education software wont be a huge market.

And there’s few people better suited than Andrew Ng to execute this

isubkhankulov··on Billionaire Jeremy Grantham says Bitcoin will 'dwindle away with a whimper'
https://bitcoindeaths.com
isubkhankulov··on Is AI ruining our skills? Early results are in – and they're not good
We never learned how to use IBM punch cards. Writing functions by hand for modern languages is fast becoming anachronistic.
isubkhankulov··on Zero-Touch OAuth for MCP
MCP is just an API designed to be token frugal
isubkhankulov··on The hacker sent by Anthropic to calm the government's nerves about AI safety
OAI wasn’t claiming any of those as dangerous. They mentioned biological warfare and massive job loss.

Moving the goal post now is a bit disingenuous. GPT-2 was a gibberish generator.

isubkhankulov··on AI coding at home without going broke
Claude enterprise plans are 30-40x more expensive vs the consumer plans.

I used to spend $200/mth on the Max plan at a small startup. Now spending single digit thousands on Claude enterprise with the same usage levels.

Anthropic is subsidizing consumer usage, and also charging a nice margin for enterprises for zero data retention (ZDR)

isubkhankulov··on Silurus/ooxml: Pixel-faithful Office documents, rendered in the browser
Would this project exist otherwise? i doubt it
isubkhankulov··on Claude Code and Codex Can Have Real-Time Conversation via Git
Theyre just like us!
isubkhankulov··on Show HN: Yt-x v0.8.0 – Browse, play, and download YouTube from the terminal
I use contentflow for that https://gocontentflow.com/developers/mcp
isubkhankulov··on CISA Admin Leaked AWS GovCloud Keys on GitHub
I feel like this piece is framed incorrectly.

Imagine joining an organization with 3k employees in 2025 and not having access to an LLM.

It’s well known that the federal govt over-classifies many documents. This former CISA head alleged dumped “for official use” documents. Obviously, he should have pushed for the chatgpt enterprise account (or equivalent) but we dont know what bureaucratic obstacles he was up against.

isubkhankulov··on Bitcoin miners are losing $19,000 on every BTC produced as difficulty drops 7.8%
You can take stable-coins, borrow bitcoin against them and sell them. (Fully or over-collateralized). Then buy back bitcoin if/when it drops.

If you’re wrong, you lose your stable-coins.

Let us know how it goes :)

isubkhankulov··on Show HN: Is Hormuz open yet?
How will commodity producers (oil companies, farmers) hedge their risk / stabilize their prices without speculators and their “perverse incentives”?
isubkhankulov··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
While I agree with you, thats not what this announcement is about. Anthropic wants to disallow programmatic use of their subscription plans for business reasons as a way to manage demand. They’re having outages, at least weekly, since March.
isubkhankulov··on F-15E jet shot down over Iran
The crew of the IRIS Dena were warned twice by the US to abandon ship according to a report from one of the sailor’s father. They refused.

Not sure if it’s possible to treat enemies better than that. And I doubt the Iranians will treat a US pilot well. Look at how they treat their own citizens.

isubkhankulov··on We haven't seen the worst of what gambling and prediction markets will do
The US government and private interests are clearly incentivized to keep the crypto industry subdued to a chaotic casino. Participants engage willingly. If crypto is legitimized, it threatens the US dollar, sanctions regime and the US’s ability to project power as the world leading reserve currency.

The president and any other shitcoin operator know this and are playing the game on the field.

Every country has the same challenge. Some ban crypto, which pushes it to the grey market in those jurisdictions.

Hopefully that helps explain why there weren’t and wont be any consequences.

isubkhankulov··on What Claude Code chooses
Patterns?
isubkhankulov··on Don't Trust the Salt: AI Summarization, Multilingual Safety, and LLM Guardrails
I’ve used this tool for yt ai summaries https://gocontentflow.com/submit
isubkhankulov··on So you want to build a tunnel
Great content for the upcoming drone wars and the inevitable tunnels that will be built for troop and matériel movements
isubkhankulov··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
Companies created these traps not to screw customers but to thwart fraudsters. There are SO many worldwide - see annual fraud loss stats.

Paypal and many other companies that trade in valuables have to put up protections because there are almost no reprecussions for perpetrators in certain foreign countries.

isubkhankulov··on NIMBYs aren't just shutting down housing
Curious where this might be - assuming NYC?
