Personally I’m a fan of the non sports side of these apps, Polymarket in particular. They are putting a financial incentive behind accurately predicting the future, which makes these apps basically the most accurate predictor of the future. Available to anyone to view, for free.

It makes sense why they went towards sports gambling, because the market is so big.

How did you report this to GitHub? Your post shows an automated response from GitHub support. Did you follow GitHub's documented instructions on reporting abuse? https://docs.github.com/en/communities/maintaining-your-safe...

Regarding the Pareto frontier and related benchmarks, I have a hard time taking anything seriously that claims that Opus is anywhere near the intelligence of Fable. Are there any benchmarks that haven't just been benchmaxxed that more accurately represent actual usage?

Definitely feels like there’s a particular narrative being pushed on HN today.

Nobody is forcing people to be employees of startups. They choose to do it of their own free will. If they think they can generate immense value from their own ideas they are free to go try to do that. Hiring people to do a job for a wage they agree to isn’t swindling.

what a fantastic advertisement

It’s difficult to determine which individuals are involved and even if you manage to do that they almost certainly live in countries without extradition.

Both OpenAI and Anthropic have billing caps… who doesn’t?

The US drastically prefers the economic impact of AI over enforcing this…

You can get away with quite a lot if you’re creating trillions in GDP.

That’s just the world we live in whether we like it or not.

Let’s say you’re a democrat (or republican, w/e) who lives in a district that’s 50-50 dem/rep. Then maps get redrawn so your district is 80-20. Is your vote worth the same as it was before? Is it a good or bad thing that only ~10% of the population’s vote matters?

can’t help but see this thread next to the Erdos one and feel like someone’s trying to tell us something :)

nah. we never had a business plan and are still going strong 11 years later. 99.999% is a gross exaggeration of reality.

we’ll never actually have this data, but I bet there isn’t much correlation if any between having a business plan and being successful.

have you started a successful business?

vscode + claude code extension has everything you listed that actually matters

VCX (Fundrise) has way more exposure than ARKVX

Rejecting any packages newer than X days is one nice control, but ultimately it'd be way better to maintain an allowlist of which packages are allowed to run scripts.

Unfortunately npm is friggen awful at this...

You can use --ignore-scripts=true to disable all scripts, but inevitably, some packages will absolutely need to run scripts. There's no way to allowlist specific scripts to run, while blocking all others.

There are third-party npm packages that you can install, like @lavamoat/allow-scripts, but to use these you need to use an entirely different command like `npm setup` instead of the `npm install` everyone is familiar with.

This is just awful in so many ways, and it'd be so easy for npm to fix.

just tried with claude opus and got 7,342

Please don't override the browser's default scroll behavior. It's so jarring and basically never a good idea.

If you use eslint and tell it how to run lint in CLAUDE.md it will run lint itself and find and fix most issues like this.

Definitely not ideal, but sure helps.

This isn’t strictly an AI problem, there are definitely human engineers who gold plate. At least with AI it doesn’t slow down velocity.

depends, if you don’t clean up the logs and monitor that cleanup will it eventually hit the p&l? eg if you fail compliance audits and lose customers over it? then yes. it still eventually comes back to the p&l.

Oh man can't wait till Cursor allows you to customize sound effects.

This example feels more like a bug in the law itself that should be corrected. If this behavior is acceptable then it should be legal so we can avoid everyone the hassle in the first place. I bet AI would be great at finding and fixing these bugs.

If my bank did this to me I would immediately drop them.

By mentioning MongoDB you’re going to trigger so many people who haven’t informed themselves on MongoDB since 2014.

It works just fine as a production database. You can still have relationships and strict schemas… I just don’t understand the hate.

I mean if you’re going to write algos that trade the first thing you should do is check whether they were successful on historical data. This is an interesting data point.

Market impact shouldn’t be considered when you’re talking about trading S&P stocks with $100k.

is there evidence it’s for vendor lock in purposes? airpods have a pretty stellar connection for bluetooth, wouldn’t be surprised if there were performance reasons for them going off spec

maybe instead of communicating how dumb you think people are for choosing mongo, communicate why you think it’s so dumb

we’re not far from the point where ChatGPT is superior than going to the doctor in terms of cost, accessibility, speed, and quality

it’s honestly not as bad as y’all think

ChatGPT isn’t perfect but neither is your doctor (or your lawyer or accountant)

ehh this reads a bit like the hn comments complaining about sites that don’t work with js disabled

like what percent of firefox users do you think actually care about this?
