What DOGE was doing here effectively erased any non-white person from history. It goes way beyond rolling back "DEI". Essentially they were saying that a project on an incident in history where the participants were white was OK, but a project on a similar incident in history where the participants were black or female or Jewish is not OK because it's "DEI". So for instance, a grant to study labor history through the lens of white coal miners would be OK, but a grant to study labor history through the lens of female Jewish garment workers would get canceled.

Well, you should be free to bypass layers, when you want to. But sometimes they can be useful, and people should be allowed to add layers.

Eg a concierge is purely a middle man between you and various restaurants and venues. Many people find them useful.

If the concierge is outsourcing some of the calls and research she has to make to some assistant in the Philippines, that should be fair game.

If parasites was the concern then countries like Bangladesh would have incredibly higher rates given that people there tend to have orders of magnitudes more parasites than anywhere in the developed world.

The pattern I see is:

The Banks get in trouble, and Gov has to step in. So Gov, reasonably, add regulations and restrictions. But the law can't be really specific, it requires gov employees to actually examine the bank and make decisions (eg about risk levels, etc).

The banks have a really large incentive to chip away at the effectiveness of the regulation. They hire lots of lawyers, consultants, notable economists, etc and just keep pushing on these rank and file gov regulators. They buy influence with politicians, and use that to pressure the regulators. They hire some of the regulators at very high pay, sending a signal to the others: play ball and a nice job awaits you.

Over time, they just wear down the regulators. The rules are interpreted to be mostly ineffective and nonsensical. Often at that point the politicians come in and just de-regulate.

The banks just have the incentive and focus to keep at it every day for years. No one else with power is paying attention.

It's not true (and also not funny):

* Many of the people maintaining FOSS are paid to do so; and if we counted 'significance' of maintained FOSS, I would not be surprised if most FOSS of critical significance is maintained for-pay (although I'm not sure).

* Publishing software without a restrictive license is not 'generous', it's the trivial and obvious thing to do. It is the restriction of copying and of source access that is convoluted, anti-social, and if you will, "insane".

* Similarly, FOSS is not a "miracle" of human cooperation, and it what you get when it is difficult to sabotage human cooperation. The situation with physical objects - machines, consumables - is more of a nightmare than the FOSS situation is a miracle. (IIRC, an economist named Veblen wrote about the sabotaging role of pecuniary interests on collaborative industrial processes, about a century ago; but I'm not sure about the details.)

* Many people read licenses, and for the short, paragraph-long licenses, I would even say that most developers read them.

* It is not insane to use FOSS from a "fiduciary standpoint".

I had a colonoscopy + upper endocoscopy a few months ago, age 29.

The prep was horrible, particularly the electrolyte drink they make you take the night before. I almost puked several times trying to get that stuff down.

Actual procedure was a breeze. I was sedated, and then I woke up and it was over.

Amazing how everybody in this thread has posted their pet theories as to cause:

- insufficient fibre

- too much high fructose corn syrup

- too much milk

- too much citric acid

- toxins and parasites (gut cleanse!)

- washing chicken in chlorine (voiced as hypothetical)

- ultra-marathoners - maybe their supplements and too much carbs or dehydration?

- too much processed junk

- vitamin and mineral deficiencies

- radiation

- insufficient veggies

I'm a bit confused about the tax prep. There's tax prep companies and software in other countries, too, and the incentives seem pretty much the same?

Germany has pretty complicated taxes, but I think they don't seem to have the same tax prep lobbying?

(In Germany, the complicated taxes are partially there because whenever you change anything or remove a complication, some people who currently benefit from that weirdness come out and complain.)

Here in Singapore taxes are mercifully simple.

>There are constant hacks of companies. Most of them don't get covered. So there's that.

Source? You can't just be like "some hacks don't get covered, this hack got covered, therefore there must be some ulterior motive behind this". If the baseline rate for reporting hacks is like 50% (random number), then the fact that it got reported doesn't tell us much. Moreover Stryker Corporation is a S&P 500 company, and this hack had major impact on their business. It's not just some data that got leaked, all their laptops/phones got wiped. It's exactly the type of hack that I'd expect to not get swept under the rug.

>It's an "Iranian cyberattack". Interesting.

Again, unless you're going for the false flag or inside job excuse, the hacker's note makes it pretty clear that it's Iranian backed, or at least by Iranian sympathizers.

>Couldn't an equally valid headline be "Lax security results in Stryker getting hacked"? Probably (just guessing).

>It's a bit like all the stories about the Chinese stealing IP and jobs. Ok, let's assume those claims are true and have been for decades. So why do companies keep offshoring there knowing this will happen? At what point do you blame short-term cost-cutting by bonus-hunting executives?

Same reason we don't put out headlines saying "women going to seedy club results in rape".

8 years ago I wrote the first lines of Gitleaks and have been hooked on finding leaked secrets since. Gitleaks grew from a small project to a name recognized by developers and security folks. It sucks but I gotta take a step back from the project. I'll cut security releases but don't expect any new features from me.
But I'm not stepping back from secrets scanning! I'm working full time on maintaining Betterleaks, a drop-in replacement for Gitleaks with some fun new features and improvements like rule-defined validation, faster scans, new filters like token efficiency, and more.

Happy to chat about it and sorry if this causes any migration headache

"Fiber from food" seems good enough. It's hard not to fibermax without incidentally improving your diet substantially. For example, beans are one of the best and easiest sources of it.

Splitting hairs beyond that, like insoluble and soluble, is the kind of thing that just confuses and intimidates people about nutrition advice.

It's a bridge you can cross once everyone is eating 50g+ of fiber per day, has chiseled physiques, and are looking to min/max.

In the 1970s nobody was selling electric cars and solar panels were 100 times more expensive than they are now. Today the world has the manufacturing capacity to install nearly a terawatt-peak of solar panels per year, at low cost, and millions of electric cars are shipping every quarter:

https://open-ev-charts.org/#global:electric-sales:quarter

It won't change rapidly in the US, because the current administration opposes renewables at every turn and keeps low cost BEVs out of the US, but most of the world's energy/oil needs are outside the US. This situation will accelerate a global process that was already gaining speed.

AI bills are exploding despite costs dropping 10x every 18 months because every saving gets reinvested into more usage.

BUT:
- Today's prices are subsidized (OpenAI losing $14B in 2026, Anthropic burning $12B in one quarter, Cursor alleges that a $200/month Claude Code subscription could cost up to $5,000 in compute.)
- When subsidies end, prices reverse into a 10x larger consumption base
- That's the double squeeze nobody is modeling for
Companies building token efficiency now won't feel it. The rest will.
And Altman? Cheaper AI to run = more use cases justified = bigger market for frontier models.

They take in billions every year but still come away with millions in negative income. I have no idea what their problem is but I'm pretty sure the 1,600 people they just fired weren't it. Throwing away people in yet another round of layoffs to further invest in AI is not a good sign.

> School sizes do change over long time horizons

Not even very long horizons. For example, a hot housing market can cause a rush of young families into a district as older retirees cash out and move to Florida or whatever. Schools adapt to this.

I agree following rules is important. What kind of example are you setting for your kids, right? But having some perspective is also important.

Norms on that have changed over the years. Some people used to wear suits every day no matter what they were doing. It turns out that norms on formal attire and correspondence are subject to change and are no more fundamental than what time we have our clocks set to. People are free to interpret that as disrespect at their own peril. I personally do not appreciate other people's outdated notions of respect being imposed on me. I don't recall signing a waiver when I was born indicating I agreed to be subject to the fashion whims of those who came before.

It's probably smart to wear a suit to a formal occasion but IMO it's quite silly to interpret casual emails as disrespectful. As long as the email respects your time with efficient communication, that should be enough, and will save everyone busywork in the long run.

> secured loans which will be less risky than the underlying loans

So, it's sort of like bundled mortgage securities, where you take some bad loans and mix them together to get a "less risky" loan, since the chance of them all defaulting at once is less than the chance of all but one defaulting.

Presumably, since banks (by definition, an intermediary) are involved, those are then recursively repackaged until they have an A+ rating, or some such nonsense, right? Also, I'm guessing there's no rule that says you can't intermingle these things across separate "independent" securities, even if the two securities end up containing fractions of the same underlying bad loans?

Clearly, like with housing, there's no chance of correlated defaults in a bucket of bad business loans that's structured this way!

In case you didn't quite catch the sarcasm, replace "housing loans" with "unregulated securities" and note that my description switches from describing the 2008 financial crisis to describing the Great Depression, or replace it with "bucket shops" (which would sell you buckets of intermingled stocks) and it would describe every US financial crisis of the 1800s.

I first encountered the concept of "clean room" in the context of Sean Lahman's free baseball stats database. While technically baseball stats are free, their compiling and manner of presentation in any given format may be claimed as proprietary by any particular provider. And so there's an extensive volunteer effort from baseball fans to "clean room" source them from independent sources such that they are verifying the stats independently of their provenance as a legally permitted basis for building out the database.

I even recall Baseball Mogul relied on the Lahman DB for a period of time. It does make me wonder if we'll see more of that.

Yep, temporal_rs is designed with native Rust use in mind, so you should be able to use temporal_rs directly wherever you'd use jiff or chrono.

That being said, the library is designed to be specification conformant and with EcmaScript implementations in mind. There are some specific API choices made specifically for those clients.

That being said, we are always looking for feedback regarding the native Rust API. So feel free to try temporal_rs out and provide whatever feedback you'd like :)

I am going to make a wild guess here.

The reason that he does not tell us what hardware he is using is because none of these times are for a single system building binutils. I think he is using a mix of systems and then doing some kind of averaging to tell us what a individual system would look like.

For some kind of hardware, all the systems they have would be the fastest that architecture offers, like with i686 I expect. While others are going to be a mix of old and new, like x86-64.

For RISC-V, the latest gen hardware is about as fast as the numbers he quotes for Aarch64. To be clear, the fastest ARM is still faster than the fastest RISC-V. But the numbers he quotes make no sense for something like a SpacemiT K3.

But if you are using RISC-V systems from two years ago in your build cluster, they will as he says be "Sloooow". But that shows how fast RISC-V is improving. It makes no sense to publish this article now.

At least, he should reveal what hardware he is talking about. His chart makes no sense (for most of the platforms).

If I was controlling a swarm of 1000 agents who do all the dev work on my extremely complex enterprise SaaS product with tightly defined business logic I feel like I’d definitely want something like Jira to manage what they’re working on.

They could also pivot to developing something for that exact use case if it’s a bad fit and if there’s such clear demand.

But truly they’re just cost cutting here and AI is really neither here nor there.
Show HN: Open-Source GTM Skills for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor
by hbamoria | 2026-03-12 16:37:09+00:00
We built an open-source library of 125 GTM (go-to-market) skills that plug into AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.

With these skills an AI agent can automatically:

- Find ICP leads from conference speakers, LinkedIn activity, or job boards

- Generate personalized cold email sequences

- Monitor competitor blogs, pricing pages, and hiring signals

- Generate programmatic SEO pages from keyword lists

- Track where your brand appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude answers

---

How skills work

Each skill is a structured markdown file containing instructions, scripts, and tool definitions that an AI agent can follow.

Think of them as reusable playbooks for sales, marketing, and growth work — but executed by your AI agent instead of manually.

Example

Install any skill with one command:

```
npx goose-skills install <slug>
```

Platform support

```
npx goose-skills install <slug> --claude
(default – Claude Code)

npx goose-skills install <slug> --codex
(OpenAI Codex)

npx goose-skills install <slug> --cursor
(Cursor, requires --project-dir)
```

---

Why we built this

We've been using Claude Code for GTM work — not just coding.

We run outbound campaigns, find leads, monitor competitors, audit SEO, and generate marketing workflows using agents.

The problem was that every time we wanted to run a workflow we had to re-explain it.

Skills solve this: write the workflow once, install it, and your agent can execute it reliably.

---

We open-sourced the library because we think GTM teams will increasingly orchestrate AI agents to run core workflows — and we wanted to build the skill ecosystem in the open.

If you want an agent that already knows how to do GTM work, try Gooseworks — an agent with these skills pre-installed, plus filesystem access, memory, and integrations with dozens of tools: https://gooseworks.ai

---

I'd love feedback on two things:

1. What GTM workflows would you want an AI agent to run?
2. Are there skills you'd want added to the library?

Happy to answer questions about the skill format, how we built this, or how to contribute your own.

Hey, here is Rafa, another Rudel AI developer. The ultimate goal is to make developers more productive. Suddenly, we had everyone having dozens of sessions per day, producing 10X more code, we were having 10X more activity but not necessarily 10X productivity.

With this data, you can measure if you are spending too many tokens on sessions, how successful sessions are, and what makes them successful. Developers can also share individual sessions where they struggle with their peers and share learnings and avoid errors that others have had.

It's why as a retail investor, never buy things that would otherwise have not been available to you (but was to those "elite"/institutional investors previously).

Think pre-IPO buy-in. Investors in the know and other well connected institutional investors get first dibs on all of the good ones. The bad ones are pawned off to retail investors. It's no different with private credit and private equity. These sorts of deals have good ones and bad ones - the good ones will have been taken by the time it flows down to retail.

You can quickly find historical availability & consumption data and I don't think it supports any trivially obvious hypotheses like these. You'll find headlines saying things like that we're at a low point in vegetable consumption going back to 1988, but I'm reading an NIH paper charting '70-'2010 and the patterns look stable, except for increases in total calories, in dairy, and in added dairy fats and oils.

Whatever's going on, it's probably going to end up being complicated and multifactorial.

That's such a big disparity I'm very suspicious of that data, but there seems to be plenty of evidence that grossly excessive cardiovascular exercise is bad for you in various ways.

If people enjoy it and really get a lot out of it then I wouldn't judge them for doing it, but let's not pretend it's healthy, because all the evidence is that it isn't.

In terms of cardio being able to run a half decent 5k a couple of times a week is probably a good idea, any more volume than that is really not necessary and at some point becomes harmful

This is satire, but the very notion of open source license obligations is meaningless in context. FLOSS licenses do not require you to publish your purely internal changes to the code; any publication happens by your choice, and given that AI can now supposedly engineer a clean-room reimplementation of any published program whatsoever, publishing your software with a proprietary copyright isn't going to exactly save you either.
