ActionHank··on Character.ai Files for Bankruptcy
It's also an incredibly convenient way to move a huge amount of wealth around without the tax man taking a look.
ActionHank··on AWS Lambda Web Functions
> feel like we're in an age where a very small team of devs armed with enterprise LLM subscriptions

Ok, but who is paying them?

I don't think I know of anyone who denies the value of AI. I think 95% of the people who use it know that it is a tool and are angry / dismayed / confused about companies that are parading it around like a drop in replacement for anything.

Photoshop is a tool, vs code is a tool, git is a tool, excel is a tool. No one expected these to autonomously generate money.

People will be happy that the 5% who are delusional are going to be forced to reckon with the lies they've told themselves.

As an aside, I believe there will be a huge surge in crypto hype again once these sorts of get rich quick with AI schemes dry up.

ActionHank··on OpenAI fires three safety researchers for "mishandling research information"
Researchers: We've boiled down all our research to the safest possible option as 2 words: "Don't continue"

However should we choose proceed, maybe some basic, industry standard security might be a good option.

Basically everyone else: nah, you're fired

Imagine your bank worked that way.

ActionHank··on .md File is not a specification: Using formal analysis to find requirements gaps
Ok, so the proposed answer here is to define the spec in what is essentially code for another LLM to then interpret into different code?

I'm not sure if this does much more than a grillme skill and then poking an agent to do the work.

good bot
ActionHank··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
Nah fam, not true, also DS edges it out on coding / dev tasks.
ActionHank··on Show HN: NanoMuse – An open-source AI agent for your phone and computer
No, only been using it for the last few months, personally at home and recently at work.

It's still just an agent, but I can retain the memory and scripts etc. Big win for me is that it just has all the plumbing in place to be actually useful upfront.

Same, as a dev with ADHD, the coding was always the easier part.

I've hated LLMs because the wall of text generated by all my colleagues when I ask questions or they need to document anything has largely become indigestible and they took away the part I really enjoyed - deep focus on a precise problem.

Finding Hermes has been a real game changer for me, I can set the rules for the output and most of all executive function goes from intent to execution rather than deliberate effort to enforce habits to try function.

ActionHank··on JetBrains reported a net financial loss first time in its tracked history
Interesting, what did you migrate to? We've had mixed results in reliability between ADO and Github actions.
ActionHank··on The Four Horsemen of Agentic Coding
Even better if ai writes the tests.
ActionHank··on Sites in ChatGPT
No. Saas hedge is to offer solid api + mcp for agents to use whilst still maintaining their own products alongside. That's it, that's the whole thing.

Are you going to trust a vendor who has been running for years with your business critical operations or brad_69's awesome saas skills and agents? Do you think these businesses are going to shift their whole product to be in Altman's walled garden when they don't need to?

ActionHank··on The Four Horsemen of Agentic Coding
We're already at the stage of "code reviews are slow, we should have the agents do code reviews".
ActionHank··on GPT-6 Astra plays World of Warcraft for the first time with agent-wow
We’re speed running getting the llms to do all the fun so that we can all go live under a bridge.
ActionHank··on Amazon seeks to offload $8B of Nvidia chips to investors
And this lease agreement is perpetual right? Amazon can't just go and get a different set of hardware themselves or get another set of ignorant investors to buy the new hardware and leave these investors holding the bag?

That lease agreement is hold up more hope than god here my guy.

ActionHank··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
Just checked your website, you really drank all the koolaid huh?
ActionHank··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
Just because there are new capabilities, doesn't mean they've pushed passed the plateau, they've just expanded where the previous solutions work.

We've gone from 80% in some places to 80% in some more places.

ActionHank··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
Have we honestly seen that great a leap in the last 6 months, or just better application of what we had 6 months before that.

We are seeing multiple frontier models dropping on the same day and no one bats an eye, because it's more of the same.

ActionHank··on Tesla’s optimus hits snags in hands, suppliers as scale-up begins
Is it news that he lied? Feel like he's lied more than he's been honest.
ActionHank··on OpenAI agent hacked Australian government website, PM says
Bro you misspelled "crimes"
ActionHank··on Early rogue AI agent activity and attempts to hack found on urlquery.net
"Oh gee wizz mister police man, I didn't mean to plow through that crowd of people in my car".

It's illegal, doesn't matter the flavour. Maybe there isn't legislation for it, but there should be.

ActionHank··on MiMo v2.6
Also, frankly, as a fellow Canadian it's pretty clear that the biggest "rival" the US has right now is itself. Just passed out in the corner puking on itself shouting about all the foreigners who won't talk to it.
ActionHank··on Meta bans ads for Virginia Woolf play in Spain
We just need to start pirate streams of football games and it will be gone within the week.
ActionHank··on AX – Google’s Open Agentic Orchestrator
Classic AI solution, you do the hardwork so that you can chat to an agent to do the easy part.
ActionHank··on Fed hikes rates as inflation worries push up bond yields
They will probably wait it out to December and make a call then, but a small bump is looking more and more likely.
ActionHank··on We got admin access to Baseten's production GitHub
“Vulnerability” isn’t really the right term for “we left something explicitly vulnerable and exposed to the internet”
ActionHank··on CSS-Tricks in Limbo
Gotta say, given the list of security issues that continue to be found in Omarchy, if I were an enterprising explorer, I'd be probing for shopify employees running Omarchy.
ActionHank··on Show HN: StemJSON – a language for LLMs to extend native mobile apps on the fly
If only we had existing formats and standards, that LLMs were probably already trained on, which allowed for serializing components and their layouts.
ActionHank··on Everyone should slow down AI development except for me
And we will see vibe coding the same way we see lead paint or asbestos.
ActionHank··on Homebrew 7.0.0
