These are the same people who a few years ago made blogposts about their elaborate Notion (or Roam "Research") setups, and how it catalyzed them to... *checks notes* create blogposts about their elaborate Notion setups!

Oh my god your verbalization of this phenomenon is spot on! I feel validated that someone else feels this way.

I find that security, architecture, etc is exactly the kind of skill that takes 10-15 years to hone. Every boot camp, training provider, educational foundation, etc has an incentive to find a shortcut and we're yet to see one. A "basic" understanding in critical domains is extremely dangerous and an LLM will often give you a false sense of security that things are going fine while overlooking potential massive securi…

Somewhere on an HN thread I saw someone claiming that they "solved" security problems in their vibe-coded app by adding a "security expert" agent to their workflow. All I could think was, "good luck" and I certainly hope their app never processes anything important...

Found a problem? Slap another agent on top to fix it. It’s hilarious to see how the pendulum’s swung away from “thinking from first principles as a buzzword”. Just engineer, dammit…

Quite literally, the previous post on this blog is from 2024 talking about what a revolution the Rabbit R1 is. We all know how that turned out. This is why I give every new trendy developer tool a few months to see if it’s really a good thing or just hype.

Wrapping documents in helps a small amount if you're filtering tags in the content. The main reason for this is that it primes attention. You can redact prompt injection hot words as well, for cases where there's a high P(injection) and wrap the detected injection in tags. None of this is a slam dunk but with a high quality model and some basic document cleaning I don't think the sky is falling. I have OPA and set po…

The issue with filtering tags: LLM still react to tags with typos or otherwise small changes. It makes sanitization an impossible problem (!= standard programs). Agree with policies, good idea.

I filter all tags and convert documents to markdown as a rule by default to sidestep a lot of this. There are still a lot of ways to prompt inject so hotword based detection is mostly going to catch people who base their injections off stuff already on the internet rather than crafting it bespoke.

I think a sizable proportion of people just want to play "large company exec". Their dream is to have an assistant telling them how busy their day is, all the meetings they have, then to go to those meetings and listen to random fluff people tell them while saying "mmh yeah what a wise observation" or "mmh no not enough synergy here, let's pivot and really leave our mark on this market, crunch the numbers again". I c…

Everybody here probably already has an opinion about the utility of coding agents, and having it manage your calendar isn't terribly inspired, but there is a lot more you can do. To be specific, for the past year I've been having numerous long conversations about all the books I've read. I talk about what I liked, didn't like, the ideas and and plots I found compelling or lame, talks about the characters, the writing…

How much are you willing to bet on this outcome and what metrics are you going to measure it with when we come to collect in 3 years?

This is the way: make every one of these people with their wild ass claims put their money where their mouths are.

Hold up. This is a funny comment but thinking should be free. It’s when they are trying to sell you something (looking at you “all the AI CEOs”) that unsubstantiated claims are problematic.

Then again the problem is that the public has learned nothing from the theranos and WeWorks and even more of a problem is that the vc funding works out for most of these hype trains even if they never develop a real business.

The incentives are fucked up. I’d not blame tech enthusiasts for being too enthusiastic

Not people, that post is from OpenClaw... 100% ;-)

100% a precursor to a follow up post like "I asked OpenClaw to write me a blog post about how it's changing my life and it hit the top of HackerNews"

The jokes write themselves. Now you can have both, Openclaw comes preloaded on the R1.

AI is great, harness don't matter (I just use codex). Use state of the art models. GPT-5.2 fixed my hanging WiFi driver: https://gist.github.com/lostmsu/a0cdd213676223fc7669726b3a24...
