skeptrune··on MacBook Neo Is the Most Repairable MacBook in 14 Years
i absolutely never ever in a million years would have guessed this to be the case
skeptrune··on Lies I was told about collaborative editing, Part 2: Why we don't use Yjs
we're about to implement collaborative editing at Mintlify and were considering yjs so this couldn't have come at a better time
skeptrune··on Show HN: Free OpenAI API Access with ChatGPT Account
they'll probably just more accurately tie the api credit usage into your pro plan or whatnot so it's more clear what's going on. i just don't expect them to fully ban using the recurring consumer sub for api use
skeptrune··on Show HN: Free OpenAI API Access with ChatGPT Account
i tend to think openai will just make this official rather than ban it based on their historical stance here
skeptrune··on Mark Zuckerberg creating new Applied AI engineering company, reorganises teams
shoutout Zuck for making the call. seems right given they haven't had any good model releases since bringing him on
skeptrune··on What Is OAuth?
Great writeup
skeptrune··on Pi for Excel: AI sidebar add-in for Excel
Anyone have a link to a video of it in action?
skeptrune··on Privilege is bad grammar
Privilege is working at a startup
skeptrune··on My Grandma Was a Fed – Lessons from Digitizing Hours of Childhood
So cool! Gave me some motivation to record more things.
skeptrune··on Show HN: AI agents play SimCity through a REST API
It amazes me that people are still interested in MCPs.
skeptrune··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
Wow
skeptrune··on Vouch
I have a hard time trying to poke holes in this. Seems objectively good and like it, or some very similar version of it, will work long term.
skeptrune··on Speed up responses with fast mode
If models really do continue to get more expensive then it's not going to make sense to let everyone at your org have equal budget for spend. We're on track for a world where there are the equivalent of F1 drivers for ai.
skeptrune··on Show HN: Horizons – OSS agent execution engine
Fascinating platform. The API surface is much richer than I would have expected. Ooc, at what size do you think teams typically have use for this? I imagine you have to be running quite a few agents at scale before there's a strong usecase.
skeptrune··on Show HN: Hacker News Topics that Span Multiple Discussions
this is fascinating! cool ship
skeptrune··on Flameshot
Flameshot is fantastic software. Works great on Linux and gets the job done.
skeptrune··on Tesla is committing automotive suicide
Yes, they wouldn't be able to retain share price whatsoever if they announced this.
skeptrune··on Tesla is committing automotive suicide
I'm surprised that I feel like this is the right move for them. Competing on the cars seems like a bad idea now that EVs are kind of a commodity market.
skeptrune··on How I estimate work
Politics definitely matter. I just think Sean makes a bigger deal out of it than necessary.
skeptrune··on How I estimate work
I think Sean often overplays politics. The most important thing in any project is whether or not it achieves the goal that the overall business has for it. And your job is always to increase the probability of that happening as much as possible. Sometimes it requires politics and sometimes it just requires getting to the task at hand.
skeptrune··on New YC homepage
I love that the founders are so prominently featured on this new version.
skeptrune··on Skill.md: An open standard for agent skills
Fixed now!
skeptrune··on Skill.md: An open standard for agent skills
Yeah, I can understand where you're coming from. I guess there's balance to the extent that being overly stubborn is also not a great thing. Prioritization at an early stage startup is a tough task.
skeptrune··on Skill.md: An open standard for agent skills
In hindsight the title here is weird. It's meant to refer to the existing standard, but doesn't read that way.
skeptrune··on Show HN: Whirligig – Tinder for Gigs
This is cool. I like the general idea of swiping on events.
skeptrune··on Install.md: A standard for LLM-executable installation
Understood, just toned that bit down.
skeptrune··on Install.md: A standard for LLM-executable installation
Ok, I've toned that bit down for you!
skeptrune··on Install.md: A standard for LLM-executable installation
This is some really fantastic feedback, thank you!

I personally think that prose is significantly easier to read than complex bash and there are at least some benefits to it. They may not outweigh the cons, but it's interesting to at least consider.

That said, this is a proposal and something we plan to iterate on. Generating install.sh scripts instead of markdown is something we're at least thinking about.

skeptrune··on ChatGPT is getting ads. Sam Altman once called them a 'last resort.'
Seeing this today made me sad. I expect people to naturally flood back over to Google in droves.
skeptrune··on Install.md: A standard for LLM-executable installation
Yeah, someone else was pointing that the bash scripts are guaranteed to do the same thing on every system which I think is in the same vein as your feedback. It's for sure a downside of the markdown that I need to explain the docs behind the proposal.
