woah

Why not?

I was spending thousands of dollars a day in funny money (free promotional tokens from VCs) before switching to a paid subscription for convenience.

This seems like a complete opposite of what you'd expect. Why hire a team of mediocre overseas workers to prompt Claude (your characterization), then have to talk to them only at weird times of day, and have a 12 hour turnaround on anything? Instead you could have one or two local devs from your social circle, swing by their desk at 9am and they have the feature that Claude built merged by lunch?

They also offer $300,000 in compute spend (allegedly) for $200 a month to anyone who isn't employed by a large corporation so their pricing should be taken with a grain of salt.

This is exactly like if someone implemented a CPU using nothing but CSS animations. Maybe a fun way to teach about turing completeness, but pretty meaningless otherwise.

This is like when people used to make tetris using only CSS or whatever in the 2010s. But it's less impressive because Claude Code can slop it out in an afternoon.

No literally, the IETF meets 3x a year in a different location each time and all the guys from with cargo shorts from the companies you named argue about IPv6 minutia all day and spend their per diem by night. It's actually a lot of fun.

Would this method have turned up inconsistencies in the IRS's own guidance if such inconsistencies existed?

we haven't even begun to discuss the nagging

IPv6 has a huge amount of bloat created by guys in cargo shorts and pony tails being flown out to exotic locales 3x a year for IETF conferences to argue about minutia and try to get their name on some IPv6 spec document. All they needed to do was add a couple more dots onto IPv4 and maybe switch to hex.

Is this guy reviewing his own book?

How is that a "signing bonus" and not just a pay cut?

Do you think that they raised the money based only on this website?

Did his actions exceed the authority granted to the executive branch which employed him?

Been on HN for many years now, and the one thing that never changes is people posting angrily about small UI changes. It makes me wonder- if things have only ever gotten worse, what was the peak UI? MS DOS?

The purpose of software is to be useful to users, not provide a reason for you to get paid a salary to solve puzzles very slowly.

This is only the case for standalone SaaS with no real network effect.

Engineered quartz looks like natural stone because it has depth and translucency, and each piece is somewhat unique because it is made by hand sprinkling various powders into a mass that gets pressed and cured. This is also why it sells for as much as natural stone. Porcelain may be physically superior but it does look like "printer paper".

Newton lost a huge amount of money in the South Seas bubble

This sounds incredibly expensive

Although I need to preface this by saying that the Trump administration is one of the stupidest and pettiest in history, the Nobel peace price lost all credibility after it was awarded to Barack Obama for no reason. It seems to be a mechanism for trumpeting the political views of those on the committee.

> docker-agent lets you create and run intelligent AI agents that collaborate to solve complex problems — no code required.

How is "no code required" a selling point when we all have agents that can almost instantly puke out all the mostly-correct code you could want?

For some reason a bunch of the inner blocks weren't rendering for me haha

Evolution did statistically guided brute forcing. Doesn't mean that biology has no value

$200 a month is too expensive yet they employ human developers?

Sounds like you've got an axe to grind

> The kind of bad emulator that requires game-specific patches instead of getting the emulation correct to begin with, and is embedding the emulator into a binary together with the game. Absolute slop.

There's kind of a bitter lesson variant with AI coding where the work to make a simple, consistent, flexible, DRY platform or library isn't really worth it when anyone can press a button and get a variant customized to their needs in minutes.

People playing the game don't care about the elegance of the emulator, and if there is a bug in the slop, they can just have their AI fix it immediately and keep playing.

Can someone explain why 83 and 87 can't get any smaller?

Wonder what the selection bias is like on something like this

3rd year undergrad at Georgia Tech is going to make $500k starting salary at OpenAI if he just vibe codes a couple apps for his LinkedIn, but has foregone this for philosophical/emotional reasons
