bryzaguy··on What I learned building an opinionated and minimal coding agent
I'm curious about how the costs compare using something like this where you're hitting api's directly vs my $20 ChatGPT plan which includes Codex.
bryzaguy··on Collaboration sucks
This is such a great response. It leaves me wishing I could delete my comment. A.I. told me there was a 2020 match between Lakers and Globetrotters which the Lakers won. Turns out it was a fictional match. I've had great success with mob programming so that's where my brain was at.
bryzaguy··on Collaboration sucks
I would argue the opposite. If your collaboration sucks IMHO you haven’t done enough. It’s a skill. Imagine you’re playing a team sport and you recommended people play together less to win more games. Now look up Globetrotters vs Lakers.
bryzaguy··on Vibe engineering
What about slop-coding?
bryzaguy··on How to inject knowledge efficiently? Knowledge infusion scaling law for LLMs
What a cool demonstration. My automatic response was “red” for traffic light. Although, a different part of my brain re-evaluated given the context. The question in my mind now, is the auto response a building block to the latter or is that orchestration a fully separate system?
bryzaguy··on Show HN: Meetup.com and eventribe alternative to small groups
Is this hosted as a free service anywhere? The thing all my friends in NYC are using is Partiful. It’s free and I don’t have to host.
bryzaguy··on Temporary suspension of acceptance of mail to the United States
One impact I’ve seen is small businesses who can no longer afford the tools/supplies they need, which aren’t manufactured in the states, so they are forced to increase their prices on good they sell or go out of business.
bryzaguy··on Temporary suspension of acceptance of mail to the United States
If I were to pick a place to tax, the addictive, harmful substances seem like a good option. But that’s easy for me to say because I don’t smoke. I do like sugar though. Imagine the impact on our health if there were a sugar tax.
bryzaguy··on A new poverty line shifted the World Bank's poverty data
It sounds like parent comment is suggesting that hn attracts a demographic of people who look down on the poor and fetishize wealth, not that it's suppressing posts or trying to influence comments.
bryzaguy··on Show HN: Spark, An advanced 3D Gaussian Splatting renderer for Three.js
Wish I could see this! My iPhone 16 blocked viewing because of, I think, expired certificate. At least, that’s the error I think I got initially and now it just says the page belongs to a category that is blocked. :(
bryzaguy··on Show HN: Bubbles, a vanilla JavaScript web game
This game is so good! Played on my iPhone
bryzaguy··on Why LLMs still have problems with OCR
Wasn’t seeing what OCR stands for, I believe it’s Optical Character Recognition.
bryzaguy··on If not React, then what?
I worked at New Relic and focused specifically on improving page load performance for one of the products using our RUM data. Even after combining/parallelizing API calls then embedding the data into the page, I found there was still an average 3-6 second average page load cost using React vs an already rendered HTML page which was nearly instant. Not huge but frustrating to discover the constraint when it was my task to improve it and our company was trying to be an example of great performance.
bryzaguy··on Batteries: How cheap can they get?
I thought they could be recycled but at the moment it’s cheaper to mine. Is that not true?
bryzaguy··on Lamini Memory Tuning: 10x Fewer Hallucinations
It is. I think their point is “10x fewer” makes sense if you imagine going from a denominator of 20 to 200.
bryzaguy··on Swift for C++ Practitioners, Part 1: Intro and Value Types
Have you read it? I felt like it goes both directions. As someone more in the Swift camp, I was learning about C++ too.
bryzaguy··on Google's First Tensor Processing Unit: Architecture
It’s the perfect name for my next EDM SoundCloud mix, though.
bryzaguy··on The Bun Shell
This is so cool! Is it too late to change the import name? I immediately thought of jquery when seeing "$".
bryzaguy··on First Apple M3 Pro Benchmarks Show Surprisingly Low Multi-Core Gains over M2 Pro
As others have speculated, maybe it improves battery life? I’d be curious to know if there’s a meaningful difference.
bryzaguy··on Pulling my site from Google over AI training
One reason is the same as authors who don’t want their books trained and actors who don’t want their likeness trained. If that content is valuable it allows google to realize that value with no return to the creator.
bryzaguy··on HTTP vs. WebSockets: Which one is the fastest for Postgres queries at the edge?
What’s the difference in performance between websockets and http with large datasets. I would imagine http might be faster? Do you encode your data with something like messagepack when using web sockets?
bryzaguy··on It Wasn't AI
This is a fantastic idea
bryzaguy··on The Problem with Music (1993)
I do understand sound engineering. I think their gripe is people claiming they understand how to make something sound good with no actual knowledge of how to do it then making up words along the way. Imagine you have a manager tell you to make the site more “zazzy” with a straight face. Imagine all managers start doing this.
bryzaguy··on Show HN: Ezno, a type checker for JavaScript and optimiser for React
Wow! Amazing! Am I reading correctly that Ezno is aiming to render React obsolete?
bryzaguy··on Ask HN: Which startups have the most interesting pivot stories?
A pivot away from tech but I found the Pixar story to be super interesting. One of Steve Job’s more interesting strategic accomplishments imo. My favorite part of the Walter Isaacson book.
bryzaguy··on How to stay focused while working on your startup and having a 9 to 5
It’s easier to risk failure at things that aren’t important to you is one example. A great book explaining all the reasons why is War of Art by Steven Pressfield.
bryzaguy··on Entropy Is Fatal
Perfect use of “all that jazz”
bryzaguy··on Worst practices should be hard (2016)
Looking for companies to support this claim, I think there could be a case made for Elixir/Erlang. WhatsApp, for example. Are there Haskell examples I’m not aware of?
bryzaguy··on Steerable discovery of neural audio effects
There is a huge difference in the stereo image and brightness of the modeled vs the real reverb to my ear. I wonder what it would take to improve the fidelity.
bryzaguy··on Launch HN: Journey (YC W21) – a better tool for selling software
In the gumbo journey intro, the tool is as a replacement of the common approach of a “long boring Dropbox folder.” I liked that. Seems like (just poked around a little) it’s a guided tour for all necessary and typical marketing/sales media. Looks cool! Async vs sync...I’m assuming you’re talking about back and forth sync interactions (emails/zoom) vs customers exploring async? Framing as push vs pull model might better focus on the pain relief. Lets Journey contrast with a pushy sales person.
