I'm still loyal to Anthropic. Not perfect but I trust them. End of story.

Also consider how many people have to wear them every day or close to. How much they interact with food and packages that most of us eventually touch. Food for thought.

I currently live in a converted mail truck on the island of Kauai. I have everything I need and nothing I don't. I feel like a warrior-monk every day as I do my morning practice (m…

The problem I'm solving isn't just relating to tourism. It's much bigger and beyond Hawaii too. This is just the perfect place to test what I'm building.

I agree. It's overcrowded in places that are not built to handle that many people. The resentment between locals and tourists is growing, also between locals and people who move he…

You are right. I posted this partially because I live on Kauai, am working on a solution, and just to see what others thought. This is definitely bigger than just Hawaii.

No, I live on Kauai and Maui before this. The Hawaii Tourism Authority runs ads on the radio for 'sustainable travel' and they want fewer people here paying more to curb overtouris…

It's funny in a cosmic way how YC was once led by this guy.

Oops. Thanks, I missed this. I worked 16 hours that day.

I've been sprinting 10-16 hours a day for almost a month now. I feel cool, calm, and collected though. A lot is happening in the world and in our industry but I am doing all I can …

This is the most important chapter in the book according to Ray himself. Titled 'The Overall Big Cycle' and it covers the 5 major factors to keep an eye on as we all navigate our f…

I asked ChatGPT and it said it 'means more than CS degree or working at a big company because it shows you are self-taught, scrappy, resourceful'. It's not a big deal whether it is…

My browser split open when I was just starting out in 2016 and I got this coding challenge from Google that could've led to a job interview. One problem, I got it on a flight to Ma…

I asked Perplexity the first question and this is what I got. Now I'm curious how it compares to the HN community's real-life wisdom. ----------------------------------------------…

I'm a solo founder. Lived on Maui during the pandemic and a little after the fire to work at Red Cross. I got a job offer at a five-star resort as a concierge on Kauai and free hou…

My startup is helping Maui rebuild after the fires. My early adopters and testers will be on Maui mostly. It's a win-win-win. The branding is inspired by Hawaii, so it's only right…

I've started to tinker with all the big LLMs, I am at once fascinated and terrified at how fast things are changing. I am tying together the final pieces of my YC app after the fun…

I've been reading about this a lot lately and am in the process of applying to YC. I am a creative and technical founder with experience in sales too. I am best with design and sal…

He is trying not to get Nuremberged. He is a snake. I also live on Kauai and most of the locals don't want him here, he is trying to turn his image around but most people aren't re…
