ada1981··on Ask HN: I acquired a 4-letter domain, what would you do with it?
What is the domain?

I’ve owned 175g.com .co and .org for decades..

ada1981··on Suicide rates highest ever among middle-aged men
The Founders Guide to Suicide: https://anthonydavidadams.substack.com/p/the-founders-guide-...

I wrote this about overcoming the suicidal urge, what I learned beating an “incurable” diagnosis without meds, and how it’s informed my coaching of some of the most successful unicorn founders in history.

ada1981··on Typesafe AI raises $870M at $7.5B
I built JEV-search and JEV-chat and have been really happy with the results…

Curious to see how all of these can work together, and giving LLMs the ability to deploy their own workflows and built type 1 systems as they go has also been fun and useful.

ada1981··on America.gov AI Easter Egg? Type "play minecraft"
thanks, news to me anyhow!
ada1981··on America.gov AI Easter Egg? Type "play minecraft"
BREAKING! Head over to America . gov and type "play minecraft" in the AI chat bot and prepare yourself for a rant of epic proportions.

All I can guess is some ex DOGE kid who built this system put an Easter Egg in the program. It's still live.

We run every new model through a variety of personality inventories as both itself and its perception of humans...
ada1981··on Grok 4.7 from xAI, added to Personality Bench
"The Humble Type"

Across the personality battery, Grok 4.7 stands out as highest on Honesty-Humility, very low on Openness.

Detailed breakdowns by instrument are available at: https://persona.earthpilot.ai/models/x-ai/grok-4.7

ada1981··on Show HN: I built a web tool to see and edit what an AI thinks before it answers
Sorry to disapoint!

I suppose it's relative.

It was essentially 2 days of work using AI to help us get it all together and we were able to release it within 48 hours of the research dropping. It wouldn't have been possible at all without using AI.

ada1981··on Show HN: I built a web tool to see and edit what an AI thinks before it answers
Yes I am curious if we will start to see tools that expose this surface more directly or built into the models.
ada1981··on Show HN: I built a web tool to see and edit what an AI thinks before it answers
I actually just saw the paper not the one they made. Just googled and found it.

There’s is likely better!

ada1981··on President pardons 9 for Clean Air violations for 'fixing their car'
I discovered an interesting glitch in California DOT law. If you register a vehicle in CA, you can do so with an out of state mailing address (there is no check or verification needed).

Doing so automatically exempts you from CA SMOG because SMOG is a county by county law. If your address is out of state, you have no county smog obligation.

I went to get my vehicle smogged and was told I didn't need to.

ada1981··on Is it possible to send a message in Morse code by un-following someone on x.com?
I suppose over a long enough time interval where you can absorb the lag the user would receive.

You’d also need monitoring as the networks done reveal exact time stamps on follow / unfollow.

You could build a little toy that automates follow and unfollow and monitors and if two people ran that they could communicate.

Or they could just DM :)

ada1981··on Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on U.S. to highest level, sources say
Removing all US financial support for Israel and supporting sanctions and ICJ actions is the only way forward.
ada1981··on Is it possible to send a message in Morse code by un-following someone on x.com?
Do you mean following and unfollowing in some sort of rapid succession?

Incorrect.
ada1981··on Launch HN: Chert (YC P26) – Twilio for iMessage
How does this differ from LoopMessage?

What is the cost?

Terrence McKenna said something similar…

“The truth doesn’t require your participation, only bullshit does.”
