Over the past year, I’ve worked closely with 40+ individuals through personalized 1-on-1 Zoom coaching sessions, focused on building a scalable online income stream.

The goal is simple but ambitious: hit $10K/month within the first 30 days.

So far, 17 clients have crossed that mark, with others consistently hitting $3K–$8K as they build momentum.

This isn't a course or a generic system. It's real-time, hands-on coaching tailored to each person's background, skills, and interests. I work with them on strategy, execution, offers, and audience-building – from scratch if needed.

Whether someone is starting from zero or trying to scale up, the goal is fast, ethical monetization through proven online models (freelancing, consulting, productized services, digital assets).

I’m sharing this to connect with others who might find this useful or want to ask questions about how the process works.

Supposedly the only reason Sam Altman says he "needs" to keep OpenAI as a "ClosedAI" is to protect the public from the dangers of AI, but I guess if this Hidden Layer article is true it means there's now no reason for OpenAI to be "Closed" other than for the profit motive, and to provide "software", that everyone can already get for free elsewhere, and as Open Source.

I never said that I’d expect that a US automaker would “win”. I want the best car at the cheapest price to be made available. And for that to be done within a level playing field with regards to safety / workforce / environmental / labor regulations. My expectation is that US automakers do not win, even with subsidies. But I do think keeping an industrial base in the US would be worth that compromise.

Or to put it another way, if the enforcement of a law cause an action contrary to the USA Constitution then just as before a judge should block that action; previously - presumably - when applying this law it was being done constitutionally.

A judge aiding unidentified assailants (not bearing any insignia of office and hiding their identity) attempting to abduct a person and send them to a death camp would be supremely objectionable in any democracy.

Before AI, I was googling and stackoverflowing the sh_t out of the internet because of subpar/absent/outdated documentation or obscure APIs of a lot of OSS libraries/frameworks. Now I am priming the sh_t out of AI prompts for the same stuff. I don't see much difference, except now I get results faster and more to the point.

>Agreed on the TV - but everything else? Oh hell no..

Then you go to list all the problems with just the car. And your problem is putting your own AI on a car to self-drive.(Linux isn't AI btw). What about putting your own linux on the multi-media interface of the car? What about a CPAP machine? heart monitor? Microwave? I think you mistook the parent's post entirely.

They are probably following some kind of training.

Those features are very common on every educational video. I do agree that this one focus on an audience that is supposed to be too advanced in relation to the video depth of knowledge, so it shouldn't need it. But still it is normally pushed for every video, and the risks of getting the pacing wrong are very asymmetric.

I wish people would stop trying to argue that the constitution affords due process to both legal and illegal residents like you are doing here. It does, but that’s missing the forest for the trees.

If all the government has to do is say “they’re here illegally” to get a free pass to do whatever they want to someone, then even legal residents don’t have rights. Due process is the entire mechanism behind which the government can establish something like illegal residency. As soon as you say Group A has the right to a trial and Group B doesn’t, calling someone a member of Group B is all it takes to subvert the entire legal process.

I'm still spending less effort/time. A very significant amount.

I do write plenty of things myself. Sometimes, I ignore AI completely and write 100s of lines. Sometimes, I take copilot suggestions every other line, as I'm writing something "common" and copilot can "read" my mind. And sometimes, I write 100s of lines purely by prompting. It is a fine line when to do which; also depends on mood.

I am not worried about that as I spend hours everyday reading. I'm also the type of person who, when something is needed in a document, do not search for it using CTRL+F, but manually look thru it. It always takes more time but I also learn adjacent things to the topic I need.

And I never commit a single line from AI without reading and understanding it myself. So it might come up with 100 line solution for me, but I probably already know what I wanted and off chance it came up with something correct but in a way I did not know, I do read and learn it.

Ultimately, to me, the knowledge that I can !reset null in docker compose override is important. Remembering if it is !null reset or reset !null or !reset null (i.e., syntax) is not important. My offhand knowledge is not getting worse as I am constantly learning things; I just focus less on specific syntaxes or API signatures now.

You can apply the same argument with IDE. Almost all developers will fail to write proper JS/TS/Java etc without IDE help.

Yes. I want this truck...but with a 4 cylinder ice engine. Nothing fancy. No needed stereo or seat warmers or complicated anything. I want a small, simple, and affordable truck with good reliability. Before anyone asks, I can't drive the tiny Japanese trucks in my state. They are cool, but look too small when people are driving what are essentially container ships with wheels these days.

> I launched the app on Reddit on Ivy Day. A lot of people got rejected and were extremely frustrated, so this app was like the perfect stress ball. I was not prepared for the huge spike in traffic.

The author intentionally released the app on one of the most-viewed sites on the internet (Reddit) on one of the biggest days for high school graduates (Ivy Day). How, in this hyper viral time, did he not consider the possibility of high traffic?

> I.e. the ICE agents showed up in the middle of a court proceeding, and the judge said they'd need to get permission from the chief judge before they could interrupt proceedings. The judge then didn't stop the defendant from leaving once the proceeding was done.

Since there were multiple agents (the reports and Patel's post all say "agents" plural) they could have left one at the courtroom, or outside, rather than all going away. Then there'd have been no chase and no issue.

The question is if the judge should have held the man or not for the agents who chose to leave no one behind to take him into custody after the proceeding finished.

I don't have issues with (immigration) laws targeting undocumented immigrants. I don't have issues with laws targeting organization of illegal immigration.

I do have issues with laws targeting regular people knowing/not knowing legal status of other people in day to day life. Those laws are vogue and overly broad and constrain my rights as a citizen. I should be able to transport anyone, regardless to my knowledge of their immigration status, and shouldn't be turned into participant of the immigration enforcement. These laws are too similar to "turn every jew you know" to me, and should be forbidden. I come from a country with a history of delation and I think it's wrong.

Demanding this is very distant from anarchy and madness, and I would argue current state is too close to police state.

I'm not sure if this is intended to be a hypothetical but there is no IRS form where "Drug Dealer" is the correct answer.

Drug dealing income would be disclosed as "Other income".

If you volunteer "drug dealer" my guess is they could use it against you. Similar to showing up at FBI headquarters and shouting "I'm a drug dealer!"

Article has been updated with more context in recent minutes:

> ICE agents arrived in the judge’s courtroom last Friday during a pre-trial hearing for Eduardo Flores Ruiz, a 30-year-old Mexican national who is facing misdemeanor battery charges in Wisconsin.

> Dugan asked the agents to leave and speak to the circuit court’s chief judge, the Journal Sentinel reported. By the time they returned, Flores Ruiz had left.

So, yeah, sounds like they literally walked into court and interrupted a hearing. Given the average temperament of judges, I think the least immigrant-friendly ones out there would become obstructionists in that situation...

This is immensely frustrating as someone who also genuinely cares about justice being done and the rule of law being followed. I want arrests to be made when there's reasonable information that this judge lied to federal agents, but frankly I can't see the federal government taking appropriate care to ensure they aren't arresting arbitrarily and then dodging accountability for trying to make right their wrongs. The federal government can claim anyone has done a crime and arrest them, but then if they ruin a person's life over this claim what is the arrestee's recourse for justice?

It just seems so in violation of my desire to wait for proof in court: what do we do when the proof is wrong-- how do we make right as a people? This persons was arrested at their workplace publicly and lost their freedoms for however long it takes to sort it out in a court of law. In the meantime the prosecutors who are taking away those freedoms sacrifice nothing while they, too, wait to prove their case in court.

Except it’s not, because people are using LLMs for things, thinking they can put guardrails on them that will hold.

As an example, I’m thinking of the car dealership chatbot that gave away $1 cars: https://futurism.com/the-byte/car-dealership-ai

If these things are being sold as things that can be locked down, it’s fair game to find holes in those lockdowns.

The only organization I've worked in that had comprehensive LTO for C++ code was Google. I've worked at other orgs even with 1000s of engineers where LTO, PGO, BOLT, and other things you might consider standard techniques were considered voodoo and too much trouble to bother with, despite the obvious efficiency improvements being left on the table.

~$30k for a manual-window, slow-charging truck? Will anybody in the US actually want one?

It's a cool concept... looks good to my eye, small trucks are neat, etc. But, I'd want push-button windows, up-to-date charge controller/battery tech, and the normal EV integrated app. Maybe if it was really a $20k truck (they're advertising the price after incentives, many of which are either going away or vanish for higher income earners).
by mindslight | 2025-04-25 16:11:14+00:00
Correct. By the article's details, it does not seem that the judge lied to the agents but rather told them some inconvenient step they had to perform per the Court's jurisdiction. Trump's Schutzstaffel can put on their big boy pants and make grownup decisions like whether they all need to run in one direction like Keystone Cops, or whether maybe someone should remain following their target. In the best case it sounds like they were idiots who didn't like the repercussions of their own actions. In the likely case, they deliberately did the stupid thing so they'd have a pretext to attack the judge and push us even further into strongman authoritarianism.

This Truck is gonna be a big Hit with consumers!

But once it starts selling like hotcakes they'll jack up the price to "Whatever the Market will Bear" relative to how many they're able to produce.

With most people struggling to get by nowadays (economically) we'll love the "less gadgetry" option because all that advanced technology stuff (and I do mean even power windows!) is, as my father always said, "Just something else that's going to eventually break, and was designed so it must be replaced not repaired."

This sounds like a case in Trump’s first term. I don’t condone the arrest, but to provide context:

> In April [2019], [Shelley Joseph] and a court officer, Wesley MacGregor, were accused of allowing an immigrant to evade detention by arranging for him to sneak out the back door of a courthouse. The federal prosecutor in Boston took the highly unusual step of charging the judge with obstruction of justice…

EDIT: Although Shelly Joseph wasn’t arrested, only charged.

I have a iron filter that works via app. All configs can be done with button presses on the valve but in a much more tedious process/workflow.

It connects via bluetooth and not WiFi. If the company goes belly up, I'd just need the APK and an android phone to continue using the app to configure the valve and see/download water usage data.

Fast forward 20 years when I can't install the APK on android v79, I'd need an older phone to run the APK.. but that seems to be pulling hairs.

Apps would be great, it's how you handle the backend to it that's the gotcha.

I also have a water softener with an app that no longer works that had it's backend shut down. It can still be configured via the valve head button presses, but none of the "smart" usage data is available. As an example of good design, this is a perfect dichotomy of one company doing it well and one company doing it un-well[sic].

It's not clear what they mean by "dedicated tablet". If it's an integrated add-on provided by the company that just does Android-Auto/CarPlay, then that seems OK. If it's just a holster for a tablet, not so much.

> It's exactly what I think a lot of techies want.

> Highly technical people tend to come in two varieties when it comes to electronics in their personal life:

I get it, I'm one of them. But using a tablet while driving is fundamentally dangerous to other people on the road, drivers or pedestrians. Android Auto and CarPlay are barely constrained enough to allow for distraction free driving.

I've lost hope that we're going back to days of people actually paying attention to the task of driving (even I take phone calls and play media while driving), but normalizing distraction by encouraging use of a tablet or phone seems like a public safety mistake, even if it appeals to the techie crowd.

If you have reason to believe that someone will be deprived of due process, which the Trump administration has essentially assured us, then it's a serious ethical violation to allow that to happen in your jurisdiction.

And by the way, the reason why due process is important is that it's all that stands between you and me and a permanent vacation in El Salvador, if we do or say something that offends the Trumpists sufficiently.

Historically, tariffs guarantee the local market will not win.

Tariffs (the "chicken tax") are directly responsible for US trucks being so expensive. They have no foreign competition in the US.

Environmental regulation loopholes cause US trucks to be so big, which is a related problem.

It's probably possible for US manufacturing to compete directly with foreign manufacturers, but they have no incentive to do so now that Trump extended the chicken-tax to all imported cars.
by anonym29 | 2025-04-25 16:13:44+00:00
Good guess. I'm big on "marketplace of ideas", where each state has far greater control of public policy (which is overwhelmingly federalized right now). If California wants to show the world how good single-payer healthcare and UBI could be, let them. If New York wants to disarm every resident and send police around to confiscate firearms, let them. If Texas wants to ban abortion within the state for residents, let them. Let each state have an opportunity to show the world how good or bad their policy positions are. Diversity of policy + freedom of choice.

My big caveats would be freedom of movement, no criminalizing activity that occurs out of state, free trade, freedom of association (no Alabama, you cannot criminalize trade with Massachusets), etc. If you don't like California, you should be free to leave California (without fear of California retroactively increasing punitive tax enforcement against you), and if you don't like Texas, you should be free to leave Texas (even if just to get an abortion in another state and then come back, without fear of arrest or imprisonment).

We are not one identical set of people with one identical culture, one identical set of values, one identical sense of right and wrong. We're 330,000,000+ unique individuals who cluster together, mainly around people like us.

Good gun laws for rural Montana are not necessarily good gun laws for New York City. We should stop pretending that the people in DC always know best for everyone, everywhere. Local communities know what is best for themselves. The more decentralized, the better.

BTW, it also offers authentication with PAM, password files similar to Apache's .htpasswd and by calling some external tool. And it compiles to a (currently) 176kiB binary, which has the default templates, style.css and the javascript for the crypto puzzle built in.

Isn't that what I just said? We already have the legal processes in place (based on the Constitution) to deport illegals in the correct (legal, safe, etc) way. The Trump administration is ignoring that existing process to score political points with their political base.

Couple that with their attempted demonization of the judicial branch and it's a recipe for a "first they came for the socialists..." situation.

There's no way to gerrymander a border that splits America into two geographically distinct countries with strong majority representation of whatever binary you think exists. By that I mean, there are communists in Kentucky and Proud Boys in Hawaii. If we seriously tried to split in two, it'd be like post-colonial India and Pakistan with worse weapons.

regardless, this idea is a distraction from the problem of wealth accumulation and the erosion of representative politics through private funding.

It still blows my mind to this day. Every time I "purchase" a ship full of crude it blows my mind the level of infrastructure to make it happen. Maybe I'll load an Aframax full of 500kbbl or issue my crude buy plan in km3. I always try and look up the ships and track the vessel movements and sea conditions bc there are teams of people on those ships working them. Meanwhile I just picked up the phone and made it happen... with like $40m bucks. It is a wild thing that never becomes normal.

Just think about a what a km3 of oil would look like. It is nuts. then realize that we buy and sell in 10,000m3 pipe batches with plenty of liquidity.

In nearly all cases they're faster. 10+ second 0-60 times used to be pretty normal for "regular" cars. Now days, people will complain that a car is slow if they can't put down 7 second 0-60 times. And "quick" boring cars of today are as fast as sports cars of the past.

The 1996 Ferrari F355 Spider and the 2025 Hyundai Elantra N both have a 0-60 time of 4.8 seconds.

The average price of new cars sold in the US last year was nearly $50k. The manufacturers make more money from expensive cars than cheap cars, and people keep buying them, so that's what they sell. Before they canceled the Fit, Honda was selling almost 10 times as many of the larger CR-V each year.

You can find numerous new cars for sale in Mexico for under $15k USD.[0] Even Europe has several new cars under €20k.[1] These are the same manufacturers we have here, but lower cost models that are only sold in lower-income countries.

Show HN: LevelUp for Hacker News – HN app with AI article summaries
by indexerror | 2025-04-25 16:15:04+00:00
Hey HN,

I wanted a Hacker News mobile app that could quickly give me AI summaries of the articles, but I couldn’t find one that did it well, so I built one.

It's available on both Android and iOS and includes all the features you would expect, such as dark and light mode, keeping read history, bookmarking posts and comments, and searching posts with date filters etc.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and how I can improve it!

I moved all my setup to Ansible about five years ago. It’s been awesome, especially as it makes it trivial to replicate changes to new machines. Installed a new package? Run the playbook again. Changed a script? Run the playbook again.

Sure, there are edge cases I hit because I have some older machines, but for the most part, it’s awesome. I’m up and running on new Macs within a coffee break of getting terminal access.
