jklein11··on When did Google get so weird?
I think this has to do ith the fact that Google does this on every single search page. They must be using a small model with a tiny context window to not be HEMORRHAGING money. I will say it is probably having the opposite effect than they were expecting. Rather than being the goto place to search the web using AI, it is tarnishing a brand they have spent 28 years building.
jklein11··on What Can't Fable Do?
I asked Fable if i should go to Small Cheval in Rosewood before my flight. It told me that I should go to the one in terminal 3 instead, its right by the k gates at the food court. I got there and.. there was no Small Cheval.. seems like Anthropic still hasn't figured out how to prevent halucinations...
jklein11··on Ask HN: Will programmers write more efficient code during the memory shortage?
A few will write low level code that will make all code behave more memory efficiently.

noice
jklein11··on What if AI is both good and not that disruptive?
You are a professor and unclear on the difference between harder and hardest?
jklein11··on Ask HN: What are you building during the holiday break?
How do you make sure that the folder structure is helpful and it doesn't just shuffle my files around in places I will never find them?
jklein11··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2025 – Show and tell
If you don't need an account to send a fax, how do you comply with law enforcement's requests to identify who sent a specific fax? I would think this would open you up to significant liability
jklein11··on Show HN: CineCLI – Browse and torrent movies directly from your terminal
Depending on the content you are torrenting it might be a crime. That goes for Torrenting while seeding too though
jklein11··on Hedge funds have to be big
Equities and "delta 1 assets" are very liquid, meaning there are a lot of buyers and sellers. This helps to make price discover more efficient. Anything outside of that means that there is much less liquidity and therefore inefficiencies in price.

Think about it this way. You are trying to sell an apple. In one room, there are 100 people trying to sell an apples and 100 people trying to buy them. In the other room there is 1 person trying to buy apples and no one selling. In the first room you don't have much leverage. The buyers can go to the other 99 sellers if they don't like your price. In the second room you have a ton of leverage. If the person wants to buy an apple they are either going to have to buy it from you or wait for another seller to enter the room.

When it comes to non equity or delta 1 assets, there tends to be more complexity in understanding the assets, which acts as a barrier to entry. If you have been in investment banking for 6+ years, you likely understand these complexities and can find pricing inefficiencies.

jklein11··on Ask HN: Has Claude Code suddenly started name-dropping Anthropic in commit msgs?
FWIW - Claude code has always done that for me
jklein11··on Wholesale prices rose 0.9% in July, more than expected
Calling the early ’80s “Reagan stagflation” isn’t quite right. Stagflation means high inflation and high unemployment at the same time. By 1981–82, inflation was already collapsing — from nearly 14% in 1980 to about 3% by 1983. What remained was a brutal recession with high unemployment, caused by Volcker’s deliberate rate hikes to kill inflation. Painful, yes, but that’s not stagflation anymore. The stagflation era ended with the oil shocks of the ’70s; the early ’80s was the hangover cure, not the disease.
jklein11··on Wholesale prices rose 0.9% in July, more than expected
You're right that stagflation shows the Fed can’t fix supply shocks with interest rates alone, but calling it “Reagan stagflation” and blaming austerity doesn't quite pass muster to me. The 1970s mess was mostly caused by oil shocks and entrenched inflation. The Volcker rate hikes (and Reagan’s early years) were the painful cleanup, not the cause.
jklein11··on Wholesale prices rose 0.9% in July, more than expected
I think you might be conflating the interest rate's that the federal reserve sets and the inflation rate.

The federal reserve rate is essentially how much the US pay's their debtors. Bank's use this as a benchmark for how much they lend to their own borrowers.

The inflation rate is a calculation done based on a basket of goods. if the price of that basket of goods goes up, inflation is up. if it goes down, inflation is down.

When the federal reserve lowers their rates, it makes it easier to get money, and therefore the price of the basket of goods goes up.

When they make their rates higher, money is harder to get, and the price of the basket of goods goes down. The only problem with this is that there is also less money for labor, which means that unemployment goes up. The Feds job is to balance these two things.

jklein11··on Ask HN: What is the actual cost basis of the stock market?
How is there no transaction taking place? The CEO is exchanging their labor for shares
jklein11··on How far can you get in 40 minutes from each subway station in NYC?
Super cool! Its kinda crazy how out of the loop JFK airport is
jklein11··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2025)
It is interesting that the FDE has a lower salary band than the staff software engineer. Is that role base + commission?
jklein11··on Ask HN: Why aren't cost-minded SME/startups using Linux on laptops even now?
Does Microsoft really still sell Windows as a perpetual license to enterprises? I would have thought for sure that they would have found some way to sell it as a part of a bundle/subscription by now
jklein11··on NotebookLlama: An open source version of NotebookLM
Man.. the sample is pretty rough
jklein11··on Ask HN: Would you use an AI that makes calls and sends emails for you?
This article came out in 2019. AI has gotten significantly better.
jklein11··on Ask HN: How can I oversee an e-com website development?
What is making hte WordPress/Woocommerce solution slow/ what additional flexibility would be required. It sounds like it might a better use of money to optimize the Woocommerce site than to reinvent the wheel and have a whole custom ecomm app to have to maintain.
jklein11··on Ask HN: How to become a custom software vendor of major banks?
Do you know anyone who has purchasing authority at a major bank? If yes, talk to them. If not, buy a subscription to linkedin sales navigator and start cold calling until you know someone who has purchasing authority.
jklein11··on Ask HN: HIPAA compliant scheduling vendor?
If you are open to something custom shoot me an email. I have worked in this space for quite sometime and from what I have seen you are typically at the mercy of what the EHR vendor will provide.

jklein11··on Ask HN: Did you get a new job in 2024?
huh?
jklein11··on Ask HN: Why are there no no-name inkjet printers?
The strategy on printers has largely been, “lose money on their hardware and make it back on the ink.” If you were to go to market against them you would be competing with something that is already losing money. For your average consumer it’s probably not worth buying a machine that is 10x better for 20x the price.
jklein11··on Ask HN: How hard is it to find a job after trying to start your own thing
I didn't mention it in the post, but this was more so coming from an angle of preparing for money running out. How much runway is enough knowing that if I fail there will be some amount of lead time to find a new gig and if that new gig will pay similarly to what I am making now.
jklein11··on Ask HN: How hard is it to find a job after trying to start your own thing
I'm not sure I'm following this line of thinking. Are you saying that the best way to handle risks is to put your head in the sand and pretend they don't exist?

If I was thinking about driving through the Amazon I would ask others what the experience was like to better understand the risks, not just hop in the car and hope for the best.

jklein11··on Ask HN: How hard is it to find a job after trying to start your own thing
This experience is exactly what I wanted to hear about. I'm working on building up enough runway to make sure I'm not homeless but I wasn't sure if there would be long term effects to my earning potential. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of roles did you take when you re-entered the corporate world?
