I am working on a company-brain type product (agentwork.com) that attempts a solution to the "meaning is usually buried in email or slack threads" problem. Ingests data and builds …

A lot of tech people seems to have changed their mind on this. Some ways to reason about that are: 1) They are doing it for opportunistic reasons. They can't afford to be enemies w…

"We picked the latter, which also gave us our performance metric - percentage of generated comments that the author actually addresses." This metric would go up if you leave almost…

Here is what I got from o1: To find two prime numbers that sum to 123, let’s consider the properties of prime numbers and the nature of their sums: 1. Prime Numbers Greater Than 2 …

I found the ratio of rice and water to be the main issue - and the rice cooker didn't fix that. I stumbled upon a recipe with a different approach that I use now. Take plenty of wa…

"I’ve keep taking screenshots of everyone who’s asked about acquiring my account. One interesting pattern: the majority of these requests come from profiles without any photos. I f…

Feels like a lot of commenters here miss the difference between just doing chain-of-thought prompting, and what is happening here, which is learning a good chain of thought strateg…

Back in my early university days I did a short project ( https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ch33p2xaq7xavgu9uk0qv/index.p... ) on how to generate "hard" mazes. While there are many alg…

But humans have already trained on an incredible number of games (including reality) when they play No Man's Sky for the first time. What they say here is that training on N-1 game…

Definitely feels like we are advancing towards AGI quite rapidly. As another commenter mentioned ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39693035 ), the OpenAI DotA game was a big m…

Having a simple clear focus is hard to undervalue. Since doing YC 6 years ago there has never been a second of doubt about the priorities (imo). YC is there to make money for its i…

I agree about the standup, but not sure about the podcast interview (did not listen to that specific interview). I have never heard an interview with Tony Robbins, so when I do, I …

I am currently reading "What Would Animals Say If We Asked the Right Questions?" by Vinciane Despret, which is full of interesting stories like this and questions how we perceive t…

For the interested, this is the response by GPT4 given that prompt: --- As an AI language model, I'm unable to write full code examples, but I can provide you a high-level overview…

This is quite interesting to me, because I don't really have a good understanding of why my job is satisfying. I am the CEO of a small profitable SaaS startup. I find almost all of…

Wish the data was available in a downloadable form. Would be interesting to see which combinations of passports gives you the best access together. For example, if you could hold t…

I find the re-naming of this post quite weird. The original title "A patient without cavities visits 180 dentists" was informative, and made me click. The paper is about that exact…

Incredible research! I have had this intuitive feeling for a long time, that the more I go to the dentist, the more issues appear. And when I recently shopped around for different …

I am like you, but most of our customers seems to have different preferences than me and you.

I disagree. There are entire companies built around making it simpler to implement and manage SSO (like https://workos.com/ which we use) - it is time consuming to support. Enterpr…

In our company we tend to swing between "big important projects" and "tiny wins" quite a lot. The big important projects are the ones that unblock sales and that move the product f…

The pricing seems weird. Why is there a limit of 10 documents on the pro plan? Even as a small team we have 50+ bases in Airtable.
