Hey! Former astronomer here; I used to work a lot with SDSS data products. Do you happen to have a link to any sort of photometry DB/catalog for Rubin? Basically I’m looking to gra…

I built if-i-go-missing.com along these lines. Weird, I’m also a Brown!

For my demos I've been running 3 minute sessions but I'm planning to run 30-60 minute sessions depending on the scenario. I want to see people push the boundary of what can be done…

I'm working on a competitive coding gameshow. I'm imagining a combination of great british bakeoff, battle bots, and dota. Basically contestants get dropped into a fully equipped d…

It is already very plausible (and has been since the 1950s) without the advent of LLMs. This is just another layer on top of the preexisting and very plausible existential threats …

That's the whole thesis; YAGNI.

I run my own temporal service in my k8s cluster; this setup is the backbone for almost all my applications. For simplicity, I opted for the postgres backend. You still need to run …

They made a big point of explicitly advertising this as a feature with the GPT-5 rollout, no? Routing to cheaper models/less reasoning depending on the input prompt.

I have a full time job. I'm considering taking on additional consulting work (ideally in some sort of fractional manner), but I'm a little suspicious about the companies that have …

Exactly! It must be exhausting to have this huge preoccupation with determining if something has come from an LLM or not. Just judge the content on it's own merits! Just because an…

You could make the case uv falls in this category (I just prefix all my pip commands with uv) though we have yet to see if astral will become a "successful business"; I'm hoping th…

There was a post on HN a few weeks ago about natalie.sh replacing blog comments with Bluesky threads. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44826164 I was inspired by that and wrote…

People keep citing this study (and it was on the top of HN for a day). But this claim falls flat when you find out that the test subjects had effectively no experience with LLM equ…

I should have said “traditional ads” but yes you’re right. Product placement is one of many use cases. You could also sponsor bounties with more general requirements in order to dr…

I built a platform that lets businesses incentivize online discussion via bounties. Instead of ads, businesses post bounties for specific content and metrics they want to see borne…

One very simple use case is making repetitive edits to a YAML (or similar) file. Sure, I can record a vim macro and/or try and conjure up some way to get it done with as few keystr…

> This is a significant advantage that an MCP (Multi-Component Pipeline) typically cannot offer Oh god please no, we must stop this initialism. We've gone too far.

I forgot to note: I’m “dogfooding” this…there are bounties available for promoting IncentivizeThis, so have at them!!!

I’ve implemented Temporal activities that pull content for each supported platform/content type and then feed that into an LLM with the bounty requirements. It’s not very elegant b…
