One thing I learned recently is that Vanguard Total Stock Market Index (VTI) is float-weighted. That means that SpaceX's percentage in the index is based on the value of the floati…

As a programmer, Claude Design helped me see AI productivity tools in a new light.

I find it really strange that there is so much negative commentary on the _code_, but so little commentary on the core architecture. My takeaway from looking at the tool list is th…

I found it a useful overview. My primary question about the client source was - is there any secret sauce in it? Based on this site, the answer is no, the client is quite simple/du…

I can't read this article, but I live in a market that Waymo is just beginning to develop (St. Louis). I have seen two Waymos in our area in the last week. I am really, really look…

As a small business that started with a one-time/upgrade based pricing policy, and moved to a recurring policy, I don't think it is too late for tailwind to do so for future upgrad…

This article is the second time I have seen a news outlet try to 'break' the vending machine experiment. That is definitely really entertaining. In this case, they convinced the AI…

I am surprised this hasn't gotten more attention. I feel like HN used to love nothing more than complaining about patent trolls. Anyway, this article suggestions an action through …

I think this is an interesting idea, but the details on how the incentives get aligned, and how graduated students support the university are unclear to me. I am a fan of the idea …

The incentive structure of higher education is broken. My gift to the University of Austin is meant to change that—by tying its success to the real-world achievements of its studen…

I agree. I read an article a few months ago about how frequent MAID (medical assistance in dying) is in Canada. I am surprised that that has not led to larger scale studies about t…

I think Steve Ballmer's quote was something like "Measure a software project's progress by increase in lines-of-code is like measuring an airplane project's progress by increase in…

I have been reading the book “apple in China” after hearing the author on a podcast. It has fundamentally altered my view of apple as a company. From a consumer perspective, I thou…

I read your comment before reading the article, and I disagree. Maybe it is because I am less actively involved in AI development, but I thought it was an interesting experiment, a…

Wasn’t there a post on HN about someone who made a lot of money with an API that told you the geolocation of an IP address quickly? Maybe 5 years ago?

Final follow up. My wife forwarded your info/website/brief summary to the guy. I don't know if he will follow up, but hopefully so. Best wishes!

Thanks, I will ask my wife to ask the guy who gives the talks (their internal expert in billing matters) if he is interested and send him your email. Personally, I really think you…

Just FYI, it’s definitely not fraud, it is just that clinicians don’t know when they need to specifically document things that they are actually doing. They do things, don’t specif…

My wife is a doctor at a major university. They are under pressure right now and are looking to increase revenue. Changing the way they document cases can substantially alter the b…

Thanks, this is helpful. I tried Claude Code, and thought it had a lot of potential, but I was on track to spend at least $20/day. For a tool that radically increases productivity …

This is a good point. I had not thought of it this way before.

I hear you. I’m almost 50, and see it coming as well. I highly recommend the book Outlive by Peter Attia. Just found it recently, wish I had read it at 37. It has really good ideas…

You might find the recent Verge/Decoder podcast with Cohere's CEO interesting: https://www.theverge.com/24173858/ai-cohere-aidan-gomez-mone... The host is clearly trying to push th…
