    Cortisol spit curve tests are pretty cheap, so I was disappointed to see the title claim not substantiated with real data. Consider biometric testing next time you distribute!

    Congrats on launch! As the agent cli’s and sdk’s were built for local use, there’s a ton of this infra work to run these agents in production. Genuinely excited for this space to m…

    Yeah with sandbox pre-warming and disk co-location its fast enough to avoid UX cold start penalty. On write amplification — we persist at the message level, not per SSE chunk. The …

    Show HN: Ash – OSS Infra for Running Claude Agent SDK

    Hey HN, I kept rebuilding the same infrastructure every time I wanted to put a Claude Agent SDK into production. Sessions, streaming, sandboxing, persistence, a REST API, file hook…

    directionally correct but important to note the water wasted by sustaining the insufferable human is much higher than producing the tokens

    i've always wondered (for this, portkey, etc) - why not have a parallel option that fires an extra request instead of mitm the llm call?

    Comment #44957711

    I think it’s the reverse - people were too lazy to read the docs so nobody was motivated to write them. With an agent I know if I write once to CLAUDE.md and it will be read by 100…

    Have you considered making an MCP for this? Would be great for use in vibe-coding

    The bitter lesson strikes again… now for graphics rendering. Nerfs had a ray tracing prior, and Gaussian splats had some raster prior. This just… throws it all away. No priors, no …

    Yes, this video is made with Sora - but this link leads to a youtube video that claims it was created with "KaraVideo.AI's (powered by Sora)" and claims it has "Sora early-access" …

    Sora is not available, this looks like an attention grab by an app without relation to OpenAI trying to get downloads by false association. Same thing as a year ago with all the Ch…

    This is not a tenable position. Most cars are older than these devices- and even big tech co's like Apple were late to patch flipper vulnerabilities. I was on a plane last month an…

    This is a classic ship of Theseus problem and TFA has a really hostile tone that to me indicates either a lack of exposure to the topic or an intentionally obtuse take as a form of…

    Your testimonial section of "happy customers" are just the stock headshot photos from this wix template. It's probably safe to assume that the testimonials themselves are fake as w…

    Graph convolutions are really powerful for handing structured data like chemical compositions. With the right corpus, I think this area is ripe for unsupervised feature representat…

    On the contrary, with a more generous reading of the previous comment, it holds some merit. 1. CNN's are used fairly commonly for sequence tasks nowadays. Convolutions can be 1D af…
