Vibrant (https://www.vibrantpractice.com) | Founding Engineer | Full-Time | SF (hybrid) or Remote with frequent travel to SF

We're building Cursor for doctors. At Vibrant, we've picked the expensive, high-touch, data-heavy subspecialties of functional, integrative, and longevity medicine, and we've created AI agents that reduce hours of clinical work to minutes.

We're a world-class team of health tech founders, AI builders, and clinicians from Meta, Stride Health, Peloton, and Hinge Health. In just five months, we've built notetaking/scribing, Clinical Decision Support, and some of the integrations a clinician needs to run their practice with Vibrant as their AI Operating System.

In the words of doctors using our product already in production: "I have goosebumps, this is really incredible. Very accurate." "Seeing the patient overview AI-generated summary come to life after placing a couple notes is AMAZING. I'm losing it over here."

Our stack: Typescript, React, NextJS, React Native, Expo, AI SDK, custom AI agents, RAG, tools, and agentic workflows.

It's still early days for us, and we're looking for folks who ship fast and are curious and resourceful. If that's you, shoot me an email at pedro [at] vibrantpractice.com or just book an intro with me: https://book.vimcal.com/p/pedro/quick-chat

Thanks. Yeah my 470S is still holding strong and I only upgrade the RAM to some 24GB and replaced the two batteries. Now the battery lasts around 4 hours and I'm happy. I do agree that it's showing its age, e.g. having too many tabs in Chrome while playing HD videos in Youtube may stress it a bit, but so far no complaint.

I'll check out the T14s. One of my concerns is: it seems to be more difficult to replace batteries for modern laptops. I tried to remove the battery of the Dell 5550 last night and found it more difficult than the older models. How about the T14s?

I just want to point out a random anecdote.

Literally yesterday ChatGPT hallucinated an entire feature of a mod for a video game I am playing including making up a fake console command.

It just straight up doesn’t exist, it just seemed like a relatively plausible thing to exist.

This is still happening. It never stopped happening. I don’t even see a real slowdown in how often it happens.

It sometimes feels like the only thing saving LLMs are when they’re forced to tap into a better system like running a search engine query.

This is so incompetent.

Given the market significance of the report it's damn obvious that this would happen. They should have assumed that security via obscurity was simply not enough, and the OBR should have been taking active steps to ensure the data was only available at the correct time.

> Hedge-funds would want to get the file as soon as it would be available - I imagine someone set up a cron-job to try the URL every few minutes.

It's not even just hedge-funds that do this. This is something individual traders do frequently. This practise is common place because a small edge like this with the right strategy is all you need to make serious profits.

trufflepig.ai | Founding Engineer | Full-Time | SF, CA | $150K - $200K + Meaningful Equity

Join as the 4th team member to redefine the most universal interface in business: the spreadsheet. We are building an AI spreadsheet that automates knowledge work, allowing users to describe tasks in plain English and get immediate, trustworthy results. We launched a few months ago, already have paying customers, and are backed by top investors like Base10 (Brex, Figma). This is a massive opportunity to take the interface for this market shift.

Compensation & Equity: $150,000 - $200,000 + meaningful early-stage ownership

We're building the tool that saves users hours of manual work (data cleaning, formula building) currently required by legacy spreadsheets. Our team includes engineers who shipped production AI and distributed systems at Microsoft and VMware. We intend to replace Excel and Google Sheets by building the spreadsheet that truly understands what users want.

Why We’re Hiring a Founding Engineer You will own the core product end-to-end, building AI agents that reason over data and evolving our spreadsheet engine for correctness and scale. You'll ship critical UX that allows non-technical teams to get analysis in plain English. We need a generalist who moves fast across the full stack: Node.js, TypeScript, Express, and Rust + WASM. High agency, high ownership, and a focus on user trust are essential.

> uptimes of over 3000+ days

Oof, that sounds scary. I’ve come to view high uptime as dangerous… it’s a sign you haven’t rebooted the thing enough to know what even happens on reboot (will everything come back up? Is the system currently relying on a process that only happens to be running because someone started it manually? Etc)

Servers need to be rebooted regularly in order to know that rebooting won’t break things, IMO.

I was going to say "but RC4 and AES were published well after the 6502's heyday," but NESes were completely rocking it in '87 (and I'm told 65XX cores were used as the basis for several hard drive controllers of the era.) Alas, the closest I ever came to encryption on a (less than 32-bit system) was lucifer on an IBM channel controller in the forever-ago and debugging RC5 on an 8085.

>Folks say handwavy things like “oh they’ll just sell ads” but even a cursory analysis shows that math doesn’t ad up relative to the sums of money being invested at the moment.

Ok, so I think there's 2 things here that people get mixed on.

First, Inference of the current state of the art is Cheap now. There's no 2 ways about it. Statements from Google, Altman as well as costs of 3rd parties selling tokens of top tier open source models paint a pretty good picture. Ads would be enough to make Open AI a profitable company selling current SOTA LLMs to consumers.

Here's the other thing that mixes things up. Right now, Open AI is not just trying to be 'a profitable company'. They're not just trying to stay where they are and build a regular business off it. They are trying to build and serve 'AGI', or as they define it, 'highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work'. They believe that, to build and serve this machine to hundreds of millions would require costs order(s) of magnitudes greater.

In service of that purpose is where all the 'insane' levels of money is moving to. They don't need hundreds of billions of dollars in data centers to stay afloat or be profitable.

If they manage to build this machine, then those costs don't matter, and if things are not working out midway, they can just drop the quest. They will still have an insanely useful product that is already used by hundreds of millions every week, as well as the margins and unit economics to actually make money off of it.

Tell that to Havoc Pennington. Dbus was the solution he came up with based on requirements and constraints set by the DEs. A lot of people have claimed we need something better, but nobody has actually created something better. Till someone does, Dbus is the standard for client communication with Wayland compositors outside the core protocol. Sure beats piping stuff over X ClientMessage events.

I am of a belief that upcoming winter will look more like normalization than collapse.

The reason is hype deflation and technical stagnation don't have to arrive together. Once people stop promising AGI by Christmas and clamp down on infinite growth + infinite GPU spend, things will start to look more normal.

At this point, it feels more like the financing story was the shaky part not the tech or the workflows. LLMs’ve changed workflows in a way that’s very hard to unwind now.

> The author, a dynamic system, perhaps felt the emotion of the characters as she charted through the course of the story

This does mesh with the Zodeistic framework I just mentioned in another reply to you. You could certainly isolate and describe the ideas behind those characters, how they live within the author's mind, and how the book codifies an interaction between those ideas.

Extending further: I think there is more evidence that SpongeBob SquarePants is real, than that he is not real. A significant portion of organisms I personally know have structures in their brain which are able to simulate imagery and behavior of SpongeBob at will, reciting memories and generating new states of SpongeBob. AI is now like doing this shit on crack.

He's an enduring cultural archetype, a distributed organism(s), lossily replicated and encoded in the physical structure of millions of complex dynamical systems that we call human beings. In this sense, many cultural archetypes and even the gods of old civilizations can be seen to have been manifested to some degree: ascribed desires, and having actions taken in their name, serving their "purpose" or whatever.

I don't introduce a spiritual element to any of this: it's an entirely physical phenomenon which requires an agreement on certain definitions of what "living" can mean, but they are definitions which I don't think are hard to get people to agree on. One thing is we have to agree that something can have multiple forms/presentations, i.e. just because SpongeBob SquarePants doesn't physically exist with a body matching our internal representation of him, the concept represents a bundle of other concepts that can drive biological processes to preserve them and fulfill their ascribed desires.

I think the author is onto something. but (s)he didn’t highlight that there are some scenarios where factual accuracy is unimportant, or maybe even a detractor.

for example, fictional stories. If you want to be entertained and it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, there’s no downsides to “hallucinations”. you could argue that stories ARE hallucinations.

another example is advertisements. what matters is how people perceive them, not what’s actually true.

or, content for a political campaign.

the more i think about it, genAI really is a perfect match for social media companies

I'm not sure what you are trying to prove here, but obviously intent matters a lot for the purposes of crime, e.g. if you believed your life was in imminent danger and shot someone, you may not be guilty of murder.

You seem to be saying that people are indeed malicious and just lying about believing vaccines cause harm (for what purpose?), but I do believe they are just misinformed and have strongly-held-but-incorrect beliefs.

Hi, I'm Dan. I have a little over 17 years of professional experience, 25 years if you count as a hobbyist. I've worked in a large range of areas from telecoms, non-critical aerospace, embedded systems, analytics, blockchain, finance, and much in between. Mostly backend, but also frontend and full-stack. I have been cofounder of multiple startups, have led small teams and worked both as part of larger teams and solo. I have a strong love for technology and am passionate about software development, building things, and learning new things. Lately I have been tinkering with integrating AI into my hobby projects via the Vercel AI SDK, including my own experiments for agentic coding tools. I'm always happy to chat about technology or work.

Measuring the value is very difficult. However there are proxies (of varying quality) which are measured, and they are showing that AI code is clearly better than copy-pasted code (which used to be the #1 source of lines of code) and at least as "good" (again, I can't get into the metrics) as human code.

Hopefully one of the major companies will release a comprehensive report to the public, but they seem to guard these metrics.

> What I'm seeing right now is a huge influx of candidates from large companies that have zero skill. I'm not exaggerating, they can't code anything. And it's not just AI, they started working before ChatGPT came out.

This has been true in software for decades. From the very first time I was senior enough in my career to start conducting interviews on the "employer" side of the table, we've seen a huge number of candidates who literally (in the literal meaning of literally) could not code. Like you would ask them to write a for loop, and they froze up and couldn't do it, or just started talking, hoping we would move onto more "behavioral" questions. This has been pretty much a constant in the software industry for as long as I've been in it.

Location: Los Angeles

Remote: Yes

Relocation: Case-by-case

I'm a CTO, expert engineer, and data professional interested in team-building, consulting and architecting data pipelines. At Edmunds.com, I worked on a fairly successful ad-tech product and my team bootstrapped a data pipeline using Spark, Databricks, and microservices built with Java, Python, and Scala.

At ATTN:, I re-built an ETL Kubernetes stack, including data loaders and extractors that handle >10,000 API payload extractions daily. I created SOPs for managing data interoperability with Facebook Marketing, Facebook Graph, Instagram Graph, Google DFP, Salesforce, etc.

More recently, I was the CTO and co-founder of a gaming startup. We raised over $6M and I was in charge of building out a team of over a dozen remote engineers and designers, with a breadth of experience ranging from Citibank, to Goldman Sachs, to Microsoft. I moved on, but retain significant equity and a board seat.

I am also a minority owner of a coffee shop in northern Spain. That I'm a top-tier developer goes without saying. Further, I'm also interested in flexing my consulting muscle and can help with best practices, architecture, and hiring.

Would love to connect even if it's just for networking!

This is 100% backwards, and exposes exactly the nonsense I'm trying to call out!

A "neutrino" isn't a name given to something initially to try to define it later. The neutrino started as an experimental result. There was missing spin in some particle interactions. Stuff came out with a different angular momentum than what went in, and this was easily reproducible and clearly a real effect. But it didn't make sense, as it was a violation of a core conservation law that held everywhere else in the universe that we could observe.

So theorists (Wolfgang Pauli, specifically) sat down to try to describe what kind of thing would be needed. And then, and only then, did it get a name. And it turned out the theory predicted other stuff, like the neutrino carrying momentum and energy in a certain way, and interacting through only the weak force and not electromagnatism or the strong force, and later experiments confirmed that this was basically the way it worked. Later still it was shown that the mass is actually non-zero but extremely small, etc...

So sure: "neutrino" is a well-deserved label[2] for an abstraction we should understand and study. But it got its name after we started studying it, not before!

Philosophers want us to just drop and genuflect to this "qualia" notion long before[1] it's actually shown to be useful for describing anything at all.

[1] Infinitely, possibly. The fact that it predicts nothing testable is pretty good evidence IMHO that it doesn't actually exist at all, at least in the form philosophers want to talk about. Their failure to present any analysis of AI systems based it stands to that point too.

[2] Coined by Fermi, actually, not Pauli. Hilariously the neutrino was originally called "neutron" and its discovery predates the understanding of the structure of the atomic nucleus!

As with all statistics, one has to first define where the data source is from.

In this case there is an news article for that (https://www.standard.co.uk/news/tommy-robinson-uk-speech-cla...).

To summarize the article, the data is highly unreliable and aren't comparable, nor is it normalized to the population. A person in UK can be charged under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 if they voice a death threat over the phone, while the Belarus case can be a person criticizing the government on twitter. It can also be a person in the UK who sent a unsolicited sexual image. As a legal analyze of Section 127 frames it, most thing it makes illegal is already illegal under other laws which makes it difficult to analyze the scope. A person who sends a death threat is breaking the law both by sending a death threat, but also by using (abusing) a telecom service for the purpose of sending a death threat. It is a bit of an catch all clause.

In the US it is currently very likely that every crime that involves money also involve wire fraud, unless people only use physical cash and never transfer them. They usually also involve tax fraud since illegal money is rarely declared. That makes statistics involving tax and wire fraud in the US a bit difficult to parse into meaningful data.

> You learn lessons over the years and this is one I learned at some point: you want to work in revenue centers, not cost centers.

The problem is that many places don't see the cost portions of revenue centers as investment, but still costs. The world is littered with stories of businesses messing about with their core competencies. An infamous example was Hertz(1) outsourcing their website reservation system to Accenture to comically bad results. The website/app is how people reserve cars - the most important part of the revenue generating system.

> This is effectively no different from a construction company building an office building, or a bakery baking a cake.

A construction company would still be justified to say no based on moral standards. A clearer example would be refusing to build a bridge if you know the blueprints/materials are bad, but you could also make a case for agreeing or not to build a detention center for immigrants. But the bakery example feels even more relevant, seeing as a bakery refusing to bake a cake base on the owner's religious beliefs ended up in the US Supreme Court [1].

I don't fault those who, when forced to choose between their morals and food, choose food. But I generally applaud those that stick to their beliefs at their own expense. Yes, the game is rigged and yes, the system is the problem. But sometimes all one can do is refuse to play.

Hard disagree, I'm in the process of deploying several AI solutions in Healthcare. We have a process a nurse usually spends about an hour on, and costs $40-$70 depending on if they are offshore and a few other factors. Our AI can match it at a few dollars often less. A nuse still reviews the output, but its way less time. The economics of those tokens is great. We have another solution that just finds money, $10-$30 in tokens can find hundreds of thousands of dollars. The tech isn't perfect (that's why we have a human in the loop still) but its more than good enough to do useful work, and the use cases are valuable.

I agree with everything you wrote, the technology is unbelievable and 6 years ago, maybe even 3.1 years would have been considered magic.

A steel man argument for why winter might be coming is all the dumb stuff companies are pushing AI for. On one hand (and I believe this) we argue it’s the most consequential technology in generations. On the other, everybody is using it for nonsense like helping you write an email that makes you sound like an empty suit, or providing a summary you didn’t ask for.

There’s still a ton of product work to cross whatever that valleys called between concept and product, and if that doesn’t happen, money is going to start disappearing. The valuation isn’t justified by the dumb stuff we do with it, it needs PMF.

Just my 2 cents: I run a tuxedo laptop, that is just a branded clevo device. It isn't as greatly build as a Mac, because nothing is. But my tuxedo works well, nothing broke, or needed any repair. Can recommend. Branded clevo pcs in Germany are used by Schenker, Nexoc, Wortmann, One Computer, MIFCON and more. Internationally, brands like System76, BTO and XNB are using clevo. I've never heard of BTO and XNB, so this might be false information. But I've heard good things from System76.
