There's a couple problems causing this negative appraisal of your 'truth'.

Firstly, there's no reason to assume 'AI-assisted' will help you in any way. You might consider that by definition that places you in a position interchangeable with any other person or indeed running the AI by itself, without you.

Secondly, 'most' creative experienced persons? As someone who's successfully-ish done the thing you're talking about, WOOF. No. In fact, I would suggest based on my experience and perspective, that a person looking to rely on AI assistance is the last person who should attempt to be entrepreneurial.

I guess go ahead if you must? If it doesn't really feel like work, it probably isn't work. If it doesn't seem meaningful because it's just chasing what an AI tells you to do, it's probably not going to stick out with any competitive distinctiveness. And if you are only doing it for yourself, you should keep your day job because that's not enough to succeed at business.
Not disagreeing about the point of lake ice, but about apetizing -- as a Norwegian, I would much rather drink directly from a Norwegian lake in the mountains than tap water from any city, Norwegian or European. Much tastier.

Drilling through the ice for drinking water is common (well, if you have a cabin near a mountain lake). Closest you would get in many cities is purchasing highest quality bottled water, except that has been stored in plastic.

i really like ur take here on introversion especially radical acceptance—never heard of that before. thinking about it, i think there's some nuance to it. i think radical acceptance makes a ton of sense when someone’s preference or behavior is rooted in insecurity or a fundamental fear of rejection since pressing too much can make them feel exposed or judged where otherwise they should be validated. but i think in cases where it's just a neutral preference (like picking a flavor of ice cream), i would guess most people actually enjoy talking about the "why" behind their choices because honestly people love talking about themselves and to see other people interested in them. the important thing here and probably difficult to get down is understanding when someone wants connection and engagement vs. when they just need to feel accepted without explanation.

at the end of the day, i think what makes someone a 2%er for them is whether that person knows when to accept without judgement and when to engage with curiosity.

Show HN: Cursor AI intro demos (Open Source)
While Cursor is picking off and a lot of developers trying it out. I believe that a vast amount of beginners still struggle with a lot of basics and how to use the app. So I have compiled a few demos from the docs, and X tweets, and recorded a few myself so beginners can see how the cursor works.

The website is open source, and my first time contributing, so if there are any mistakes or improvements to be made please let me know!

thanks :)

note that the 2% list is very large, thus most of the scientists are not just the leading edge superstars but also run of the mill scientists and principal investigators.

The authors focus on the citation inflation in younger scientists but that s unfair (it's only 1000 out of the 20000 in the top 10%). The reality is that older established scientists are much more advantaged because the people of their lab are sought after as collaborators , and they autonatically get an authorship as last authors by virtue of being principal investigators, even if they don't even take a look at the paper. It's thus not strange that they get 35+ authorships per year

Hm, bad news for Oregon.
From this article:
https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2024/12/intel-sput...

Oregon exports more than $30 billion worth of electronics annually, most of which are semiconductors manufactured in Intel’s Hillsboro factories.

----------

The company employs more people than any other business in the state.
----------

The state’s chip industry pays an average yearly wage of more than $150,000, according to government data, well over double the state average. Hefty pay from Intel is an especially big deal in Oregon, which relies on personal income taxes for the bulk of state revenue.

----------
...Intel might consider selling its business off in pieces.

That could be calamitous in Oregon, turning Intel’s huge local campuses into satellite operations of other companies that don’t need the full range of corporate and technological functions that have been the foundation of Intel’s Hillsboro sites for decades.

“The people who work at Intel have to be really panicked,” Hutcheson said.

Intel’s research factories in Hillsboro support high-volume production sites in Arizona, Ireland, Israel and -- soon -- in Ohio. If that manufacturing network were someday to break up, it’s not clear what role would be left for the company’s top engineers and scientists in Oregon.

An AP investigation reveals that U.S. tech giants Microsoft and OpenAI have supplied advanced AI tools to Israel’s military, enabling rapid targeting of suspected militants in Gaza and Lebanon. Post-October 7, Israel’s use of these commercial AI models surged by 200x, processing intercepted communications and surveillance data to accelerate strikes. However, civilian deaths have soared—over 50,000 fatalities in Gaza and Lebanon, with 70% of Gaza's infrastructure destroyed.

Internal documents show Microsoft’s servers stored 13.6 petabytes of military data (350x the Library of Congress’s digital capacity) and a $133M defense contract. Experts warn this marks the first confirmed use of commercial AI in active warfare, raising ethical alarms over flawed algorithms, biased data, and Silicon Valley’s role in autonomous conflict. AI Now Institute’s Heidy Khlaaf calls it a precedent for “unethical and unlawful warfare,” questioning tech’s accountability in life-or-death decisions.

do they? when I was shopping for EV, used Tesla mY were not much cheaper than new ones, especially in my needed configuration (3rd row seat). I ended up buying new to get federal and state tax credits that have made it no brainer to buy new.

if you can qualify for tax incentives (federal and state) then buy new, otherwise buy used

imo Teslas depreciate more based on the year (meaning features and design/hardware inside), not the actual mileage, because EVs dont have components with mechanical wear & tear

I get this even on a shorter timescale with compiler errors. So many times I have a near-subconscious feeling that something's wrong with the code, and as soon as I run or compile it, there it is, a syntax error. I've been trying to train myself to pay more attention to these gut feelings, so I can act on them before the compiler gets to it.

Yeah I've wanted to and the "bring it back fully charged" requirement is hopeless. I rent for convenience and have zero interest in solving this problem for the agencies.

"bring back >80%" would be easier and tempt me on certain missions where I have the free time to navigate Plugshare and figure it out.

In thinking about it this morning, this is probably where one could use the "prepaid fuel" upsell option. I might consider that next time I rent something away from home. There have been some really dirt-cheap "manager specials" that are apparently code language for "EV rental we can't rent out otherwise" -- like $6, $8/day cheap. :)

My experience as well. Working in Scala primarily, it tends to be very good at following the constructs of the project.

Using a specific Monad-transformer regularly? It'll use that pattern, and often very well, handling all the wrapping and unwrapping needed to move data types about (at least well enough that the odd case it misses some wrapping/unwrapping is easy to spot and manage).

A custom GPT or GEM with the same source files, and those models regularly fail to maintain style and context, often suggesting solutions that might be fine in isolation but make little sense in the context of a larger codebase. It's almost like they never reliably refer to the code included in the project/GPT/GEM.

Claude on the other hand is so consistent about referring to existing artifacts that, as you approach the limit of project size (which is admittedly small) you can use up your entire 5-hour block of credits with just a few back-and-forths.
I don't really understand this Twitter (or in general social media) censorship argument. If I call someone on the street a fckin idiot I probably get slapped or even shot in certain places, and everybody will say I called for it. And even without physical violence I can get slapped with a lawsuit and forced to pay damages. Now if I do the same on social media it's suddenly all "muh liberty of expression" if anyone reacts to it. Aren't we maybe having the wrong expectations online, that it would be somehow supporting all the shit we cannot do in real life? Okay I realize this ship already sailed and online people do online all shit not allowed offline, but I rather see the situation as a miserable failure of law enforcement, and not as a hard won right to be an ass to your fellow citizens.
This was a compelling story for me to read, after leaving a tech job so abusive that I didn’t work full-time for five years.

Not entirely comparable, but I'm someone who frequently backpacks in the mountain regions of the Pacific Northwest, and I wholeheartedly agree with this general sentiment. Mountain lakes and streams have the most delicious water, and much of it is surprisingly clean thanks to wilderness regulations. I still filter out of an abundance of caution, but often times the water is so clean that there's no actual need.

It's absolutely tastier and purer than any water elsewhere, and I've even got a few "favorite" streams I prefer hahaha. I actively look forward to drinking from them and, even as I write this, crave water from them. Glacial runoff streams (at least the siltless ones) are the absolute best - so frosty and delicious.
The scale isn't that different if you look at larger firms. Sears started ailing it was the early 80s, and it's still sort of in existence, limping along.

I own a Chevy Bolt EV, one of the less expensive EVs on the US market (after tax rebates, it was about $30k USD). I purchased it in May 2017, so I've had almost 8 years with this car.

I feel like a lot of these write ups overlook other advantages of EVs. Some of my favorite things about this car:

* It is very quiet, inside and out

* It is very torquey, moving instantly when I push the accelerator

* One-pedal driving is very pleasant

* Charging at home feels like an incredible luxury (which it is)

Occasionally I am required to drive my wife's Corolla, and despite being in good repair, it feels like driving an old jalopy; it vibrates constantly, it smells vaguely of exhaust, it moves forward on its own when I release the brakes, and it doesn't slow down much when I release the accelerator.

There is also the time factor. Stopping at the gas station costs time, oil changes cost time, etc. I had to refill the windshield washer fluid a few days ago, and the tires need to be rotated occasionally, but that's about it so far.

It is true that EVs depreciate quickly, but for someone like me, who intends to drive it until the wheels come off, that's of little concern. Also, due to the battery's thermal management, I have not observed any meaningful loss in average range yet (though I did receive the battery replacement recall a few years into my ownership, so the battery is only ~5 years old).

Your mileage may vary, as they say.
Okay, we have fundamentally different understandings here.

To me, the LLM isn't understanding ToM, it's using patterns to predict lingual structures which match our expectations of ToM. There's no evidence of understanding so much as accommodating, which are entirely different.

I agree that LLMs provide ToM-like features. I do not agree that they possess it in some way that it's a perfectly solved problem within the machine, so to speak.

The stable interface to syscalls on Apple platforms is libSystem, which is a dynamic library. Compilers cannot inline syscalls on Apple platforms as that would defeat the whole point of making libSystem the stable ABI. In fact, compilers don't even see libSystem itself when linking, they just see a .tbd file that lists all of libSystem's symbols.

Perhaps the biggest takeaway or "moral" of the story would be this:

> And let’s not even get started on you. You, who breezily engaged with any recruiter who blew smoke up your ass. You, applying and interviewing for jobs you didn’t want, then saying yes to their offers just because the compensation was higher and it felt like maybe the grass would be greener too. You, who time and time again sat around waiting for the world to tell you what you were supposed to do at every given moment, spelled out in big bright letters. Someday you will have to learn that opportunities never find you like that; historically, only punches do.

I am aware of survivorship bias but for that to apply BPC157 would have to be killing people, this peptide is widely used so if it was killing people we would know due to investigations into their deaths.

People usually hear about this stuff peer to peer and they report back to their peers if it helped or not, so there is a before and after, and for those people there isn’t a selection criteria biased on success. If people don’t report back then others become very interested in why.

Lots of pilots know each other and will sometimes film each other's landings just for fun. The original idea was probably along the lines of "Bill's coming in and I have a good angle on it, let's take a video and send it to him." Landing is the hardest part of piloting an airplane and many pilots take pride in their ability to land smoothly.

Slight tangent, if you are on an airplane that lands smoothly despite bad weather and crosswinds, compliment the pilot as you leave the plane. I once offered a "That was a damned impressive landing in this wind" on my way off an airplane and the pilot simply beamed with pride.

Not sure if my point came across. This is a knowledge problem. How can you test an ASIC for correct function if you have no knowledge of its intended function?
Software estimation is a joke because there's no penalty for underestimating.

Compare movie production estimation. There are companies which will sell a film production a completion bond. The bonding company guarantees that a releasable film will come out, or your money back.

Here's an overview of completion bonds.[1] A completion bond costs about 2% of production cost. It's typically used for indie films with budgets between US$3 million and US$70 million. The completion bond company will cover some overrun, but if it's too big, they will fire the director and take over the production. That's what gives this real teeth. Movies where this happens tend not to be great, but tend to break even, so everybody gets paid.

So how do completion bond companies do estimates? History.
They have the actual expenses from many completed films. This info is at a highly detailed level, with costs for each shot. So, when they get a script with a car chase scene, they go to their database, look up "car chase", and pull out how much the last hundred movie car chases cost.
They also have info about directors, producers, and actors, and how much they tend to cost to shoot a scene relative to their peers.

It's not rocket science. It's insurance underwriting.
