Money is an good thing but leaves much to be desired. If we consider money's primary beneficial quality to be that it enables commerce and commerce rewards people who provide value then it is great. Money is pro-social, from this point of view.

The big problem is that money provides little recourse for the rest of us in the case that a person provides a lot of value, accumulates a lot of money, and then turns around and acts like a jerk. Having money allows one to destroy value indiscriminately, to a large degree. I can't think of a better system, really, however, besides a robust system allowing democratic regulation of commerce.
I should introduce the rest of the crew. We're a team of builders who have worked together for the better part of the last decade. Neville and I were early engineers on Facebook Ads. Neville later founded Rimeto, which was acquired by Slack. Fred has held various roles driving growth and was an early employee at Facebook, Doordash, and Rimeto. Nick jumped into startups right out of college, joining Rimeto and now diving back in with us at emdash.

> Had they actually found out about the fact that we bypassed security measures on a bootable CD-ROM that allowed us full system access, [...] or that we figured out every computer used VNC and they all had the same password stored in plaintext in the registry (which we accessed via that bootable media)

Hey, sounds familiar!

Our school district had a policy that all new computers went to the high schools, then when those aged out and were replaced went to the elementary schools. They wanted iMacs for the elementary schools. That meant that for a couple years our high school had to have iMacs.

Of course literally everything we were trying to do, all the courses and curriculum, etc were built around Windows. So all of them were set up to dual-boot... Which is to say we didn't even need to haul in any bootable media.

Rebooted into mac, which had absolutely no respect for NTFS file permissions, and copied the SAM registry hive off. Took that home, ran the password hash through a cracker and a day later had the local admin password that was shared among all of the computers in the school.

It too was mostly used for running GTA.

There was also that time with a little light B&E and doing some network cabling under the cover of night. Though I think there's technically no statute of limitations on that so that's probably enough said.
Project management tooling is strong and you need a lot less time for the logistics of managing a project, so the responsibility got absorbed into other roles. From my experience, project management in tech is done partly by product managers, engineering managers, and tech leads
I don't know the first thing about electric infrastructure, but for there to be a single point of failure like this just seems bonkers. I suppose the country's shape is partially to blame. I wonder what could have caused this.
I sort of grasp big O notation...but this is sort of over my head like most stuff that has to do with computer or electrical engineering.

As someone who is absolutely terrible at math, I envy the people who grasp or at least can learn this type of stuff and get an engineering degree and license.

All I really know about FFT is that is changes a signal, its somehow used in processing signals of some kind, and it apparently from what I heard was the key to detecting nuclear detonations back in the day.

I have no experience with the pizza one at all. I liked the information in the bread books a lot, about the history of wheat cultivation and the enzyme processes during fermentation and baking. I only ever did one recipe out of it (brioche) and it wasn't better or worse than the more traditional recipe I normally use. Seems fine if you like their recipe format, though there are a lot of great bread books out there.
> Java doesn't have easy access to the platform-specific security mechanisms (seccomp, etc) that are used by native tools to sandbox their plugins, so it's nice to have WebAssembly's well-designed security model in a pure-JVM library.

I thought Java had all of this sandboxing stuff baked in? Wasn't that a big selling point for the JVM once upon a time? Every other WASM thread has someone talking about how WASM is unnecessary because JVM exists, so the idea that JVM actually needs WASM to do sandboxing seems pretty surprising!
Gobjects are a nightmare. A poor reimplementation of C++ on top of C. You have to know what "unref" function to call and that type to cast. For all the drawbacks of C++, it would have been less bad than Gobject.

If your concern is primarily about researchers in academia using this and believing what it says without skepticism, then higher education has failed them.

And if you think that all published “research” was guaranteed to be accurate before AI tools became available, then I think you should start looking more critically at sources yourself.
I'm trying. My daughter loves Star Trek and I have had over the years extensive discussions with my older sons about how poverty is designed into our society and how eradicating it could be easy with just a couple minor adjustments.

Unfortunately, the world has been turning in the wrong direction - basic human decency is considered "woke" and "leftism". Any attempt to make a just society is called "communism" and shouted down aggressively by the people who would most benefit from it.

We need to change these things.

Something Gorbachev said on the fall of the Soviet Union stuck with me for the past couple decades, that they "failed because they tried to make a better man".

Are we that doomed?
There are techniques, with varying degrees of success, to anonymize PII from the input. Names, social security numbers, addresses, these follow a pattern and can be changed before being used.

Can it be de-anonymized? Sure. Basically anything can be de-anonymized. If your concern is that some nefarious actor at a company will do malicious things with your info and that concern outweighs the benefit you get from using the models, steer clear. But let’s have the discussion about what is actually going on so people can decide for themselves

Exactly, that's the most important takeaway I got from all the discussions here: I will be patching issues while people are flooding in for better general approaches.

I might shift much of my direction, but lucky that there are many "lessons" (like ooc) to learn.
Thanks and indeed!

Three months before 9/11 (thank God I got in under the wire, so to speak!) I accepted Islam thanks to a Jewish Sufi housemate. I did so to become a better Christian which has worked out better than I could have ever hoped, or that most people are willing to accept. Oh well, that's their choice to ignore the truth that "Islam" means "peace" as well as "submission (to the Divine Will of Love)".

The real shame of the world is that neither the Islamic world, Christian world, nor Jewish world has truly accepted Christ's teachings of the ultimate importance of love in all our worldly affairs. Hypocrisy and willful ignorance (of Love) are but two of the 19 vices of the human heart (nefs), and, boy oh boy, are they playing out belligerently on Earth here in 2025.

We Sufis have, however, taken His teachings to heart (pun intended) because the only reason God has given us any messages is to help us be happier by avoiding conflict within and between ourselves. As communal beings, we must work together to succeed, so loving each other helps keep us peaceful and efficient and less brutal to our beautiful Mother Earth.

Of course, even a person not involved in religion can choose to love their neighbor, be charitable and kind and manifest the other 17 virtues as well. It's all our choice; it's just that being prayerful can help the "better angels" side of our potential prevail, but seeing how so many Muslims mistreat both other people and even their own folks, it's obvious that most folks aren't praying to be better people.

However, some of us are, my dear brother, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, ... , ALL the forms of religion, even atheists and agnostics, so take heart! Love is all that matters in this world, and we are each only responsible for the love we manifest, not how others fail to know and live the truth of Love.

Peace be with you. I am at your service.

It's s deterrent. Very common in Latin America. Most crime is opportunistic and thieves can be in and out well before police or private security arrive. Justice can be hard to come by and police could even look the other way if they are in in it with bribes or in bed with organized crime.

Heyo I’ve noticed Lodgy come up a few times on HN now, and was curious if you explored making it a proper desktop application instead of a two-part UI and CLI application. Did you rule that out for some reason?
Right.

A lightweight process works well when you have engineers that are all of the following:
- experienced
- competent
- understand their problem domain
- actually care

In other words, a team of strong engineers (and a great, accessible product owner).

What I’ve found is that lightweight agile fails without a lot of oversight and frequent checkins, for anything else.

So SCRUM is SE training wheels because it forces a cadence, gets engineers to start breaking down work, and estimate; but the cost is that it holds-back great engineers with all of the (stifling) ceremonies.

I’ve gently nudged my risk adverse tech-lead to consider moving to Kanban now that his team is pretty strong now.

FinAgents - An AI based investment committee
Introducing FinAgents

As an educational endeavor, with the launch of Claude 3.7 and while waiting for $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) to publish results, I decided to fool around with langchain and created a multi-agent system that simulates a debate between famous investors analyzing stock investment opportunities.

You can find the github repo if you want to check it out.

Currently it is hardcoded to have Warren Buffett, Ray Dalio, Cathie Wood, Peter Lynch and Michael Burry debate about $MSFT (Microsoft) based on analysis provided to them by a team of analyst agents.

github.com/weirdapps/finagents

## Overview

FinAgents is an educational project. It creates a virtual investment committee where AI agents with personas of famous investors like Warren Buffett debate whether stocks are good investments. The system:

1. Gathers real financial data using yfinance
2. Has specialized analyst agents evaluate different aspects of the stock
3. Has investor agents with unique investment philosophies debate the merits
4. Synthesizes a comprehensive investment recommendation

## Key Features

- *Parallel Processing*: Agents run concurrently for faster analysis
- *Diverse Perspectives*: 5 famous investor personas with unique philosophies
- *Specialized Analysis*: 5 types of analyst agents focus on different aspects
- *Real Market Data*: Uses yfinance to pull actual stock information
- *Comprehensive Output*: Generates detailed reports saved as Markdown files

The system will analyze Microsoft (MSFT) by default, using all agents in parallel, and save detailed reports to the `results` directory.

## Output Files

For each analyzed stock (e.g., MSFT):

- results/MSFT_decision.md: Final synthesized investment recommendation
- results/MSFT_detailed_analysis.md: Detailed reports from all analysts and investors

## Requirements

- Python 3.8+
- Anthropic API key (for Claude 3.7)
- Internet connection (for financial data retrieval)

## License: MIT

> The rules are made up

Not much. The rules have emerged, there's only small amounts of deliberate interference with that natural process.* Deliberate societal rules (statute laws, rulings) have to fit to what's politically viable, which is to say, what people in general like: and people in general are incoherent, only diffidently cooperative, and run on intuition, so mostly we get accidental rules instead of deliberately designed ones.

* Interesting instance of when the word "natural" applies to things created by humans.

> we’re paying close to nothing for electricity.

>he panels and batteries cost about as much as an EV when we got them, but manufacturing costs have dropped and keep dropping.

So basically you prepaid.

$20-40k buys a LOT of electricity. I live in a real dump of a state with insane electric prices (only reliably exceeded by Hawaii) and I can't make a privately owned system pencil out. Even with the credits the amortization time is on the order of 20yr +/- a few. I get the draw of spending a ton up front to eliminate a bill and have better cashflow but I just can't justify that with tens of thousands of dollars.
Aren't WASM Components pretty constrained? My (very fuzzy) understanding is that they must basically manage all of their own memory, and they can only interact by passing around integer handles corresponding to objects they manage internally.
Which regular pc desktop under 2000 gets you 128gb of vram?
No offense, but 4000 QPS is not large. I ran a 100K+ QPS MySQL instance with 384 GiB of RAM.

This is all subjective, of course, but I wouldn’t call 100K QPS large, either. It’s getting on the high end of what you might reasonably want to handle without horizontal scaling, but it’s still not “large.”

> Your life would be better if you devoted so much time to food, clothing, and shelter? That's what money is.

That's a very serious oversimplification of the reality, in my opinion. Money, in our society, is much more than a means for survival.

> This seems doubtful.

I'm not sure how that seems doubtful. All you have to do is pay attention to the news, or (even though this is hardly a modern phenomenon) pay attention to what today's ultrawealthy are saying and doing to see the truth of it.

You don't even have to look at the ultrawealthy. For a more common, low-level, example, look at the spying that marketers engage in. They use money to engage in those attacks, and they do it in order to get more money.

> You live in an era of material abundance beyond the wildest imaginations of your ancestors.

Absolutely true, but irrelevant to my point.

> Even poor people are fat.

Not because of abundance, but because eating well is too expensive.
"Money being used as a weapon" can be applied far more broadly than a literal warzone.

A weapon is just a tool that can be applied to give a person negative consequences by the wielder.

Most people experience money being used as a weapon, on a regular basis.
I picked up Clojure recently after a 10 year hiatus. My early complaints were around tooling - a Lisp-specific IDE felt all but required to get the benefits of the REPL and structural editing. And leiningen, god how I despise that tool.

With clojure-lsp, deps.edn, and more REPL tooling (conjure in neovim in my case), the situation is better now. I find myself reaching for Clojure for almost everything these days - from scripting to data crunching to quick web apps to database work. Clojure is an amazing tool once you grok it - closest thing to a super-power we can get.

> working "with" my code, molding it like clay

This the best description. Clojure feels very fun/interactive but simultaneously feels rock solid for production work. There is no gap between "notebook" and "prod". Zero compromises. Most other languages pick one or the other (Python - interactive but plagued by runtime errors, Rust - rock solid but clunky to iterate and experiment)
Sorry, I was coming at this from the consumer side (since apple is a consumer product company). The majority of LLM use (by consumers) is in inference, not training, so I'd hazard to guess, the majority of people would rather have inference machines than training machine.

Yes, but no more doomed than that. It'll probably be alright.
> This isn't really professional - it felt wrong

I don't see anything wrong with that tbh. If it works that's great since this means that you're bound by the compute power you have and not the amount of devs available at that moment. I guess this is what the wet dream is about.

IDK where the line between being scolded from a bully pulpit and extrajudicial consequences begins, but....You don't think this puts Apple at risk vis-a-vis extrajudicial consequences?

E.g. The iPhone lost share in China. Do you think Trump will go out of his way to help Apple in China? (For example, convince Chinese regulators to ease up a bit, or to have them make some more parts available during their next 5-year plan, etc etc?)
There was a good book I read (by either Cullen Roche or Morgan Housel) that observed the collecting money is not the important part, but rather using money is. Money is the ticket to the performance/show, and you generally don't get excited by the fact you have the ticket, but by the opportunity to go to the event.
