Re:Ask HN: How can I get better at using AI for programming?
on Sunday December 14, 2025 @12:04AM (#46260874)
Start with a problem. I'm building https://helppet.ai, a voice agent for Veterinarians. I didn't know anything about AI programming other than absolute fundamentals I learned in 2017 through Stanford AI course - this was just theory and a lot has changed. I followed startups doing solving similar problems, and I asked detailed questions to everyone I could. I went to AI hack events to learn techniques others are using. Eventually I ended up with something pretty great and had fun doing so. So start with a problem and then work backwards.

Re:California has got good at building giant batteries
on Friday May 30, 2025 @10:21AM (#44136500)
Who cares? Electricity is literally the flow of electric charge, typically measured in terms of current (amperes). China has substantial baseload capacity. China adds an America of capacity every 18 months. Batteries connected to the grid, imply shortages. A need to balance supply and demand, manage variability in energy sources. They are also very expensive. So we have net on net, less power, that's unreliable, that's more expensive. Nothing to brag about.

Turns out 2 companies do exactly this thing:
1. https://www.stack-ai.com/ 2. https://www.intercom.com/
pivoting to something else closing down ticketsidekick after a customer brought up stack-ai.

> With the agency expecting approximately $6 million annually in energy credits from the California Air Resources Board’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard Program the first year of electric service will have lower fuel costs than the previous diesel service
Thats the key. Without the subsidy its more expensive and less efficient than carbon based fuel. In the long run we are worse off, because the subsidy can't last forever.
