martin_on Show HN: Will my flight have Starlink?

I built something similar[0] a while back, Stardrift looks 100x better - nice work!

how do you low cost run a 1T param model?

martin_on Show HN: Claude Code Usage Monitor – real-time tracker to dodge usage cut-offs

You can get the un-redacted prompts via the OTel event logger[0], but unfortunately it won't give you responses. You could open up a GitHub issue to request that addition!

Disclaimer - I work at Anthropic but not on Claude Code, the team is responsive via GH issues though!

martin_on Show HN: Claude Code Usage Monitor – real-time tracker to dodge usage cut-offs

nice ship! I wrote a blog post on how to observe trends over time for a team via OTel, but I prefer your method for individual development!

martin_on Monitoring Claude Code with OTel / Datadog

huh - really? no - definitely not. haven't heard anyone else report that either. What browser?

martin_on Ace: Realtime Computer Autopilot

Amazing performance! Do you anticipate making the model available for commercial use or are you primarily focused on releasing agents built upon it?

martin_on Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code

Wow brutal roasts

“You've spent so much time reverse engineering other people's APIs that you forgot to build something people would want to reverse engineer.”

martin_on I built an open source AI tool to find my autoimmune disease

i have a rudimentary pipeline that takes in a ton of data, converts to json & markdown and then i used claude and o1 pro to generate the dashboard. That is to say, there are manual hops. How would you want it packaged / what would be useful?

martin_on I built an open source AI tool to find my autoimmune disease

This is neat - I built something in a similar vein recently but less productized, good work!

I have a habit of moving around (thus changing doctors) and a lack of a history / being able to easily consolidate them has been a reoccurring pain. I recently had a full physical while in Thailand and there was some potential concern around my labs & some imaging --- of course, without history it was a "check again in 6 months!" which prompted me to capitalize on Gemini's PDF parsing abilities...

I still have work to do, but it's amazing what you can do in just a few hours now: https://health.martinamps.com

martin_on Can LLMs write better code if you keep asking them to “write better code”?

I've observed given that LLM's inherently want to autocomplete, they're more inclined to keep complicating a solution than rewrite it because it was directionally bad. The most effective way i've found to combat this is to restart a session and prompt it such that it produces an efficient/optimal solution to the concrete problem... then give it the problematic code and ask it to refactor it accordingly

martin_on VW breach exposes location of 800k electric vehicles

I for one am grateful for that fact ;)

martin_on Trump wins presidency for second time

to play devils advocate, if that person had decided to go with $0 instead that there would be equally bad headlines/interpretations of "Instead of allocating the formulaic $1 we are entitled to inline with all other changes over X years, they squandered it on Y"?

martin_on Cheating alleged after men's world conker champion found with steel chestnut

Also played at school in England.... probably ~22 years ago now I'd guess! Sad to hear that era is over!

martin_on UltimateAntiCheat

yes- I have been out of the "game" for a while, but, the economics are strong. Used to sell bots that could automate tasks to get gold in various games (WoW and Runescape as examples) and we had customers that would buy 100s of licenses monthly and had factories that they'd use to farm and then sell the gold on eBay, etc.

martin_on Cautionary tale on using Chase bank for indie business

Glad you got your money back Jason!

Not often you get to read a post from the future, either ;) "posted on 2024/09/21"

martin_on Show HN: Plain Vanilla – a tutorial website for vanilla web development

Nice work, I haven't tried web components but support is better than I expected per caniuse[0]. This weirdly reminded me of a time 12 years ago[1] when I was encouraged to avoid using the term "vanilla" as it sounds like another framework

martin_on Leaked OpenAI documents reveal aggressive tactics toward former employees

If that's true, wouldn't that imply that the mods aren't very effective?

martin_on Tesla recalls all cybertrucks for faulty accelerator pedals

No but the brake pedal overrides the accelerator. Of course, EV’s accelerate fast so you likely don’t have much time to react

martin_on Spreadsheet "breaks" Apple Vision Pro eye-tracking

I have one and have been using it as an external display, i find the resolution fantastic

in part, it may serve as a substitute to highdpi monitor while you’re in Hawaii

martin_on Submarine missing near Titanic used a $30 Logitech gamepad for steering

Note that the BBC is funded primarily by what's known as a "TV License"[0] in the UK - I think it's entirely possible they could probably increase ads or something for international viewers but understand why it isn't their area of focus

martin_on Load Balancing

couldn’t the workers longpoll vs interval based?

martin_on Supabase Logs: open-source logging server

It's pretty awesome & very cost effective! When I was at Twilio we streamed logstash/fluentd (forget which) -> kinesis -> BigQuery and it worked great - certainly better than the days we were trying to manage ES ourselves

martin_on Show HN: Property Trends Scraped from Zillow

re #4 - tiny UX improvement: could you add a retry button? I keep waiting a minute, clicking return to homepage, retyping the zip, etc.

edit: One other thing, it showed "Loading property 6 of undefined..." then back to "We did not get any results" which seems quirky.

martin_on Show HN: Codestat.dev – Stats from 2M open-source repositories

So great to see you on the front page, Stephen! Super cool work! Curious - my first time reading elm, is CSS an anti-pattern? I notice the styles are all inlined

martin_on Ask HN: Share your personal site

https://ma.rtin.so - my personal blog built with hugo hosted on netlify with CI/CD setup via github actions. would like to get back to posting on it again sometime soon!

martin_on Ask HN: Alternate Email hosting to G Suite

Thanks for the headsup- looks like I'll be impacted by this too. My admin page links to a google form which lets you say you're using it for personal use only (I am) -- wondering if they'll grandfather folks in. Otherwise it sounds like fastmail is the favorite for HN! I found the form via their FAQ @ https://support.google.com/a/answer/60217#nonbiz&zippy=%2Cwh...
