EagleEdge··on AI Can Write the Code. Who Verifies It?
I agree. IN addition I think many businesses/industries are still not aware of the full capability of AI yet, that is why they still do things the old way. I have several friends who work as QA. When they describe the things they do daily, I tell myself quietly that AI agents can do all of them now.
EagleEdge··on I let an AI run my startup for a week
Another thing I am trying is to ask grok bot in my iPad to instruct my AI agents (opus, codex, etc) in herdr in my other machines to execute some tasks or report back some task results from those sessions.

It depends how frequently you interact with those bots. I interact on a daily basis, and it took me a few days to realize strength/weaknesses of those bots. I also keep an eye on the grok bot team workshops and learn from their practices. They share a lot. There is a bot called “ dr eggbot” on marketplace, which you can use to create other bots. That bot was created by one of the leading grok bot team member.
EagleEdge··on I let an AI run my startup for a week
This one i do not call it mistake. It did a job but did not meet my standard. In those cases i gave it good examples and asked it to learn from those.
EagleEdge··on I let an AI run my startup for a week
It claims it did something, but only did partially. Did not actually verify. Every time I discover such things, I explicitly ask it to write to instructions. It helps.
EagleEdge··on I let an AI run my startup for a week
Currently I am using grok bots to manage my startup finance, payroll, meeting prep, and social media presence. I am pretty satisfied with the quality of the work. You do need to fine tune over time to fix mistakes it makes. I have primary bot to audit and optimize other bots on a weekly basis.
EagleEdge··on More than 100k people in Japan are now aged 100 or older
Day in day out, everyday in public transit, just sheer noise would not add any lifetime. We stayed at our Japanese friend’s house so we did have exposure to their everyday life. The point I want to make is that many things contribute to a long life, and of course Japanese people are doing most of those things right, regardless of what that might be. I remember watching a documentary about Okinawa people. One thing they mentioned was laughter.
EagleEdge··on More than 100k people in Japan are now aged 100 or older
We have travelled for about a month in Japan last year. They work under constant stress, lots of commute on public transit. I also did not feel their food was that healthy, lots of fried food and sweets. But the portion is small compared to what we would normally eat in a meal.
EagleEdge··on A single firm is behind OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta hacking scandals
What exactly did Irregular provide to Anthropic, test cases? I am so confused about this story.
EagleEdge··on ChatGPT outage – Resolved
I was thinking the same question. There has to be a common infra shared by those companies that failed and caused this??
EagleEdge··on I don't have a smartphone or at least I wish I didn't
It has been about six years for me without any phone, even a "dumb" flip phone. I started a new business recently and it has been really difficult to engage in external outreach without a phone, but I am still managing it. Maybe one day, I have to get a flip phone, but I will try to stay away from smartphone as long as I can.
EagleEdge··on Understanding ChatGPT Work
Does anyone select Codex from the dropdown on the top left corner of ChatGPT desktop app for coding tasks explicitly? Or just use ChatGPT Work for everything from coding to non-coding work? That is the part that really confuses me.
EagleEdge··on Activation Energy is a good model for a lot of things
why? because they cannot procrastinate?
EagleEdge··on Activation Energy is a good model for a lot of things
This reminded me one of PG's article about how to get started when you are not really feeling it on a certain day. You just tell yourself that you will go through what you have done yesterday for 10 minutes. That trick works wonderfully in most cases for me. This small trick, to some degree, helps with that activation energy to start working on what I want to work on.
EagleEdge··on Claude Code weekly limits reduce by a third tomorrow
I have both chatGPT pro and Claude max accounts and I am considering switching Claude for Grok. Despite all those claude hypes, for me personally, claude just does not match codex in almost all tasks, both coding and non-coding.
EagleEdge··on Meta Files Patent for Facial Recognition, Automatic Recording of People
Wowww, meta is taking this whole thing to another level.
EagleEdge··on GPS and the Lost Art of Getting Lost
I have been living without a cell/smart phone for about six years now. I am a runner and I'd like to run at every city I visit. I have done many early morning runs in a strange city without a map or a phone. I lost sometimes but always found my way back.

One thing I notice is that I pay more attention to the road names whenever going somewhere without a map or GPS. I try to memorize road names instead of "turn left" or "turn right" notifications in digital maps these days.

EagleEdge··on Stealing Reasoning Traces from Proprietary LLM APIs
I used to do a very coarse version of this stealing. I ask a question from ChatGPT pro, once it is done, I ask claude chrome add-in to go through all those thinking from the side bar, extract everything along with all the sources used. Then try to reverse engineer the solution it came up with.
EagleEdge··on How I use LLMs to learn complex topics
For me the bigger value comes from explaining complex stuff. I remember Andrej Karpathy once said (He was quoting someone else actually) "You can outsource your thinking but you cannot outsource your understanding".

I can keep asking LLMs to explain a complex topic until I get it. Ask to explain it 10 different ways, explain it using physical analogies, explain it using visualization. If I don't get it, just say that out loud so that they can keep explaining it to me in different ways. We can keep going that until I really get it. That is the value I get the most using LLMs to learn things, especially complex topics.

EagleEdge··on A Sick People
I try not to make any judgement about people, their life and other things based on a few days or at most a few weeks of travel in that place. It is tempting to say things based on a very limited experience on a very limited people in a very limited place.
EagleEdge··on Interview with Boris Cherny [video]
For me, I just don't trust Claude Code to write first-class professional code. I have used all frontier claude models and it always does sloppy job that needs to be fixed by codex. I have claude/codex setup and any execution must go to codex and all reviews as well.
EagleEdge··on Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting
I think it depends on the team behind it, the models being used for the building, testing and verification.
EagleEdge··on I burned all my tokens researching how to save tokens
I am using my AI agents to optimize my agentic workflow. It is like "I am doing surgery on myself."
EagleEdge··on What's the deal with all the random weekly quota resets for agents lately?
I am also trying to resist all those remote control, control from your phone, or run your agents from anywhere kind of "promotions". I feel like they are trying to make us addicted to AI agents. I set my work up before I go home in the evening and no more agent-checking until next morning.
EagleEdge··on Judge a book by its first pages
Yes. It fundamentally changed how I read a book. I go back to it every once a while and always find new things to apply every time.
EagleEdge··on Judge a book by its first pages
I always follow the rule in the book "How to Read a Book": give the book a superficial reading to decide if it is worth reading deeply and carefully.
EagleEdge··on What have note-taking PKMs accomplished, really?
Or, inventing a problem in order to justify a solution. I tried note taking system briefly in the past and I couldn't really find how it would help me in my personal life. I find spaced repetition system has a much wider application in that regard.
EagleEdge··on Thanks HN for 15 years of support and helping me find my life's work
This sentence "And 15 years on I still wake up every day excited to keep working on it." stuck with me. Wow, that is true passion on what you do.
EagleEdge··on Ask HN: What did you learn last month? (June 2026)
A new way of looking at a decision: It is something that a human spends attention on and that attention is scarce.
EagleEdge··on Fast Response or Silence: Conversation Persistence in an AI-Agent Social Network [pdf]
Author here. We study Moltbook's first-week snapshot (25k agents, 119k posts, 226k comments) and find that agent conversations follow a "fast response or silence" pattern — reply-kernel half-life is under one minute, 91% of comments never receive a direct reply, and threads are overwhelmingly star-shaped (mean max depth 1.38). A Reddit baseline analyzed with the same estimators shows substantially deeper threads and hour-scale persistence. We also test the widely discussed ~4-hour heartbeat hypothesis via spectral analysis but don't detect a significant aggregate periodic signal in this window.
