The oracle is not always right :)

'Our first encouter with AI in the form of LLMs, within the product of ChatGPT was very much like an oracle. You ask a question, the oracle speaks, and that is the transaction. '

Chatgpt moment just like google back in the early days truly felt asking an oracle a question.

Mine also got flagged the moment I posted it. First I was shadowbanned, managed to somehow get unbanned then can't even post my show. But here is the reply I got, and it seem to make sense:

''On HN, the idea is for people to submit stories that they ran across and personally found intellectually interesting, not because they have something to promote. It's fine to post your own work, as long as it's interspersed with interesting posts from unrelated sources. But when an account submits promotionally, it feels like they're not participating as a community member, and HN users notice this and flag the posts.

It's best to build up a track record of interesting submissions from unrelated sources, and to intersperse your own articles with those. The software considers submission histories adaptively, so if you do that, your own-posts will eventually stop getting filtered.

If you dig up interesting things from a variety of places, things people haven't run into before, then you'll be perceived as a community contributor rather than someone trying to market something. Particularly good are stories on out-of-the-way topics that rarely or never get attention. The best submissions are the ones that can't be predicted from any existing sequence.

(Note: avoid posting major sites like youtube, twitter, medium, etc., for this purpose, because the software classifies them alongside the promotional posts so they won't help 'dig you out'. Ditto for Show HNs and Ask HNs (text posts) - avoid those until you're in the clear.)''

Are they practicing for when the whole country is underwater? lol
I personally don't understand the ai hate. I don't remember people hating on the internet this much lol
I would love to find out what da vinci would create today if he was alive. He is the maddest genius of all time in my book.
calling AI a hype like it is a vaporware makes me want to read that even less. AI has made a lot of difference last 3 years and will probably do 10x more in the next 4.
But why do agents need a skill to find skills? The security nightmare aside, don't they already have access or the ability to dig into what they need to do

Oh man, lots of dead ideas. Atm attention is more important than ever, cos delivering on ideas got easier. Getting the attention your product needs got harder

space is getting as polluted as our planet.

good catch! committed capital is not same as we raised.

Money has lost all meaning in tech. 122 Billion raise! This is some kind of dream.
Interesting. How does myfi get the data? If I am connecting my card company etc, is it truly local data storage?
Whenever I take a screenshot, it is a race against time to drag it where I want it. I believe I am now faster :)

"We already have programming languages" is the right conclusion. The question is why so much agent tooling is ignoring it.

Agents prefer structured queries over natural language when given the choice

Cala's team shared a finding on LinkedIn that's worth sitting with. They shipped an MCP server with three access patterns for their knowledge graph: natural language queries, a structured query language, and direct entity/relationship traversal.They expected agents to default to natural language. Instead, most agents switched to structured queries and graph traversal on their own. No prompting,...

Oh we are not making it public. It was used as test.

That's actually a great idea for a demo. Working on it. We have a few profiles built out already (Paul Graham, Gabriel Pickard) and more planned. The app supports generation with or without a voice profile applied for side by side comparison.
A snowden pardon would be good.
This one was painful to read. Who fsh 50m into an illliquid token. Crazy.
Anthropic wouldn't be anthropic with claude. Most engineers now actively use it to build, myself included. I design and build our actively with it.
