armatav··on Show HN: Pre-Made Tool Using Agents at Cost
I got sick of building out tool-using agents over-and-over again - so here's a bunch you can use at-cost with a single fetch request.

Please let me know which other functions or agents you want added. Supports the OpenAI provider only right now.

Luckily we can use common sense and intuit that razor sharp microglass embedded in the colon will cause cancer via immune response.

Do you work for an asbestos company?

And so the ceiling being 5 years per count here seems rational to you because it's in the guidelines, and "no one is actually going to get that". Which is exactly my point.

The rationale here seems to be that if we give a large enough entity enough leeway with the lives of its constituents, then anything less than the extremes of punishment is necessarily morally righteous because they were not the subject of the minimum or maximum punishment - punishment that the large-enough-entity was indeed capable of giving them because of that leeway - but kind enough instead to apply "the law" which necessitates punishment somewhere between the extremes.

Which is exactly the point of "guidelines" being super high in the first place - so that you can be a subject of anything in-between the floor and the worst imaginable, and people can turn around and feel just about it, because they are not its subject.

My point is no one should be seeing even a year in prison as their punishment for essentially smuggling sheep, it has nothing to do with federal sentencing guidelines, the argument is from a moral perspective - it biases the punishment upwards and then allows the court to assert any fine or damages below that amount but vastly above what it would be if the maximum was not five years per count.

You lied about the type of sheep you're bringing in? 5 years by 2 counts.

Kill a guy, that's 10 years.

Yeah seems like a totally rational and not depraved punishment system.

What about if they divorce, does his next wife get 10% too?
armatav··on What is trauma? The author of "The Body Keeps the Score" explains [video]
Some people can kill a man, or lose a limb and not suffer traumatic rumination.

Some other people lose their favorite toy as an kid and it really does become a deep rumination pattern of traumatic loss for them.

armatav··on Claim: the ideal PR is 50 lines long
Just use your brain to PR a feature or some sub-piece of a feature instead of this arbitrary shit.

Who wants to spend hours bothering with hardline process - you’re the programmer, you’re going to be the guy answering any questions on your pull; therefore you’re going to have to look at it yourself.

Yes, 10% per year return “for free” by just investing it all into the SP500; except the rate of inflation makes that negative, and you’ve also got to reinvest any return to see this “10%”.

The real rate, not the imaginary rate of inflation.

armatav··on The housing market is about to take a hit as student loan payments restart
Why do you think neighborhoods with single family homes that have insanely high appreciation don’t want new houses built?

Because it’s their only high growth asset, and their largest.

How did it get that way?

You can go step by step through this process of root cause analysis and see that it is because our money is weak.

It’s definitely the interest rates in combination with incessant printing into inflation.

How do you think the principal got higher, magic?

Money printing as an idea needs to go.

Do the math and tell us the income you'd need for a $1,000,000 house at prime.

It's unreasonable. Pay a loan to term one of these days and you'll see why.
