News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

But not needing to know what you're doing as far as programming goes != not needing to know what you're doing as far as compliance/legal responsibility. Someone using a tool like this still needs to run their operation in a sane manner. Like, how much responsibility does Loveable shoulder here? We don't blame a car manufacturer for most car crashes. They, of course, try to design their cars to be as safe as possible, but the fact that they endeavor to make a safe car doesn't make it explicitly their fault if I'm driving blindfolded and careen off a cliff.

This is something that makes me roll my eyes... seeing people online talking about how everyone can just make their own version of w/e software now. As though running a software business is simply a matter making the computer screen light up in a particular way.

You believe aging is psychosomatic? This seems unlikely, to put it mildly. Any evidence for this?
I had a moment when I was around 25... I was very active, but I was noticing that I was starting to heal and recover more slowly than I did when I was 19. Then it hit me, this is basically just going to get worse and worse over the decades, and then I'm going to die.

It helped, I kept being like "wtf is wrong with me" but actually, no, I was just noticing the first little tiny signs of aging.

Now the trajectory has kept up, and I have to squint to read things that I could once read easily. Both my parents used reading glasses, and in 5 years I'm going to need them myself.

I could get on board with being 90 in the body of a 20-30 year old, but I really don't see that being the situation we arrive at to start. Isn't it much more likely that we incrementally extend life by preserving the function of one system or another while the others continue to deteriorate? Or do you think that there's going to be a single switch (or maybe a small handful) that will stop or reverse aging across systems?

I like seeing people make beautiful things. This is a very beautiful site imo

I've had a similar problem. I think the ideal shape of the solution depends on how you guys work and how in sync you want your AI context to be. Do you have shared rules that need to be followed? Markdown file in the git repo. Too many different places where information is stored? Only use tools that connect to the AI via MCP.

I built something to solve the "understand-the-conversation" problem for myself (chironmemory.com). I didn't want to worry about maintaining any sort of complex system where existing entries need to be updated, so it's basically an append-only self-organizing pile of info that your agents can throw whatever they want into and the recall does a good job of bringing it back later. I've got my whole git history and all my emails in there.
