Last time I was in the US the lowest dose melatonin gummies I could find in a CVS were 1mg — kids gummies. That's more than 3x the actual recommended dose for an average adult base…

I remember thinking the same about a bunch of friends I know who were working at early GitHub. What are you all doing build a replacement Campfire? Omg, now there's a team building…

He became CTO in 2014. I was familiar with him at Joyent some years before that though. edit/update: and the Samsung acquisition was in 2016. So I'd hope the CTO would have _some_ …

The apparent fear of universal healthcare many Americans seen to have is incredible. And to call it out in a thread where someone has literally shared that they're forced to attend…

also subscribing to this!

Agreed. From a quick skim (especially of the CLI interface) it looks to be a device to impersonate an NFC card, so you can then put it on a reader (eg. A hotel room door) and try t…

Back in the early days of Heroku (when I worked there), we were all fairly deep into the Ruby community. Ruby has never had a great reputation for performance, but... it seemed lik…

And Edinburgh in Scotland

I was just wondering the same thing! I do suspect it was built with some form of AI though because the handful of links I've tried to dig into have all linked to the wrong place/ar…

It's been a lot of trial & error. A quick aside: running these tests/evals/call them what you will at scale has been fascinating to me. Going back and trawling through the logs has…

I did exactly that and it's all covered in the blog post. There's no hidden eval harness, it's in the same codebase as the CLI so others can reproduce and/or extend as they see fit…

I'm not sure I follow, which profile do you mean? My profile on HN? I don't know if we'll keep dissecting every incremental improvement we make as (so far) the general approach is …

Exactly! The estimates + cost diffs are expandable in the PR so you can see the working.

We've a lot of experience doing this! Also while this feeds into and supports LLMs and non-deterministic systems, our recommendations are entirely deterministic. So it's pretty rar…

We do cache the results locally so that we're not repeatedly hitting our pricing API. The LLM doesn't access that cache directly though as it'd suffer the token tax you mention. In…

I guess another way to interpret what he was trying to say could also be: "the kind of movies that I loved and the kind of movies that were my bread and butter (are no longer affor…

What do you mean by "Terraform cross compatibility"? Pulumi was (initially) built upon the same underlying providers so had the same capabilities. I'd posit the main difference bet…

Yikes. If you showed me this car and asked me to guess the brand I'd probably say Renault. Which isn't meant to be shade on Renault, and I don't exactly hate the design and might e…

Yeah, while the "average" person might be able to gracefully handle these situations there's still a lot of people who do things that to me seem obviously silly and avoidable. Loca…

not OP, but apparently all it takes is 2 kids that are independently into multiple sports + both parents being actively involved in the clubs/work schedules that allow us to regula…

I remember meeting a founder who had a moderately successful adtech business who was venting about the difficulty getting very large brands with huge spend on board. This is probab…

I mostly agree with what you said (the diff being we've still done the "pretty" output and progress bars for the human-centric outputs). And I found it a fun exercise as trawling t…

Most big companies still have travel agencies/companies manage their corporate travel. I can’t remember who we used when I was at Amazon, but I made a similar complaint to my manag…

Zitron’s narrative around AI revenues is that somehow the people Anthropic/OpenAI etc are pitching to, people who meet the sophisticated or wholesale investor tests (i.e., the only…
