Trial periods. Asking employees to do less in their first months.

Maybe not great mitigations, but that’s what I could come up with

Oh you’re also into M&A?

I got a Bambu P1S two years ago for Christmas as a gift. It's been fantastic. 98% of my prints have been successful.

They aren't the free open source dream machine, but it also works quite well and needs little messing with.

I've played with 3d printers back to the RepRap and Makerbots - but those always required so much work to get a successful print.

I haven't seen something clearly better in the price range.

I mean, I get it.

I'm highly capable of building some great things, but at my dayjob I'm filled to brim with things to do and a non-ending list of tasks in front of me.

I've built cool stuff before, and if given a little push and some support could probably come up with something useful - and I can implement much of it myself.

Put me in the room with cool people, throw out some conversation starters, shake it up and I'll come up with something.

Agreed. Give me a phone thick and durable enough that I don't feel the need to add a screen protector and case to it, or strap a battery to the back to make it last.

It seems they are often peeling away useful features, which then you have to replace - yielding a worse experience often.

Small screen, thick, durable, good battery. Would pay $

So... Sub-Etha?

I disagree. It's akin to security theatre. People who engage in it can think they've done the right things, when in reality, they might have created more vulnerabilities or now have a false sense of security.

Finding effective, actionable and safe methods is difficult - but that's the work we have to do.

I hate to admit it, but I saw similar things.

I referred someone incredibly qualified for a Chief of Staff role at a company. Their resume was well beyond what the company could have hoped to find. The executive recruiting firm was over the moon with him. However, they basically told him that this company was looking for a 'more diverse background' and as a straight white guy, he wasn't it - but they were excited to take him around to other clients.

For a few years, the hiring process seemed broken overall, and in retrospect, it didn't do much to actually help the people it claimed to.

I'm all about strength from diversity, but you can't throw away everything to get there.

Maybe if they are having problems, offer a clearly sub-optimal way to do it, and try to get them to talk about why it's not great or what better ways might be. That might help uncover some thought pattern or understanding about it. Such options could be FTP, as an email attachment, or the body in a single HTTP POST.

They should be able to come up with thoughts about security, speed, reliability, etc.

Yup. Lots of ones in my 4 Hammond organs are original. My Model M is from approximately 1950!

I'm shocked that YC hasn't advised them that this name is terrible. It actively breaks trust by trying to piggyback on Anthropic's tool naming.

Same. But of course, I checked the GitHub first, and I really dislike this confusion. I don't trust someone with my AI tools that's acting like they are trying to trick me into giving them sensitive access. Nope.

I had to check on their Github to see that this wasn't an official tool.

I don't want to install a tool like this that isn't made by Anthropic.

I, too, find this confusing and actively dislike the naming and association here.

Tubes burn out a lot less than most people think. I’ve got working tubes that are 60 years old and in active use. I have a tube tester and they do fail, but not ever 1-2 years like some think is a needed replacement cycle.

This is great! I started building similar at a hackathon a few weeks ago, and just haven’t had time to come back to it. I got all the infra up and had it making calls but was having problems with the syntax and to get it to respond to different answers. Best I could do in a few hours.

Glad to see someone go all in!

How can other developers help and participate in building, maintaining and operating the MUD? I've always wanted to be able to contribute to it. Am I correct that the source code isn't public?

My current dream is a model that's good at coding with a ~10m token content window. I understand Llama 4 has a window approximately that size, but I'm hearing mixed results on its coding capacity.

If it had deep research and this, with a large number of API requests, I'd consider $200/month.

If I can write an MCP for access my IOT devices I’ll be doubly secure!

I want someone to lampoon tech problems of today still existing in the future. Sorry, we've gotta push software updates iOS 186.3 which will require 30 minutes.

We're finally testing supersonic planes again... 22 years after the Concorde stopped.

I'm curious why they stopped in the first place. It seemed fantastic when it was out, and everyone loved them. Apple and Android watches are battery hungry and over-fluffed with features I don't want or need.

I'd like to think that this time, it won't go away again?

I recently noticed that entities can be tagged/labeled in Home Assistant, and then selected on those (I use auto-entities).

Instead of relying on a brittle naming convention, I can tag devices as 'rgb_led' or 'humidity' and then target all of those. Entities' naming can now be more natural and intuitive.

The group selection part is really interesting evolution-wise. It seems a very slow and difficult method of selection. I had never considered how something dying, and not passing along their genetics, could enforce a genetic trait.

"I had a visceral reaction that was less than favorable"

I wonder if we can get a superintelligent AI to play this one!

Perhaps it could start low, $2, and then for every fraudulent claim you make it goes up exponentially?

It would be accessible to the common person, but for a mega company making bulk fraudulent claims, it becomes expensive.

> A reasonable estimate of the current salary range is $125,840 - $238,160 per year for the role of Senior Staff / Principal Software Engineer, Rust Genomics.

The market for principal engineers with Rust experience has _really_ shifted it seems over the past 24 months. $125k was graduation salary rates a few years ago, not someone 10-20 years in.

My kit is all K special dry customs and I love them. I haven't cracked or damaged them in 5+ years.

My understanding from a talk by an attorney at HOPE 2024 was that AI-generated materials cannot be defended/owned under copyright.

As a .plan file on a finger service?
