campervans··on Goldman Sachs – Physical AI
Goldman Sachs raises its global humanoid market forecast to 890,000 units by 2030.

Seems conservative...

campervans··on AI Myth – College Educate, Benefit from AI – Morgan Stanley
So Morgan Stanley argues that affluent, college-educated, urban ('CHIC") consumers will benefit most from AI adoption on net, dispelling fears that white collar exposure leads to spending weakness.

Significant equity wealth, productivity-driven wage growth (still to come?), and long-term services disinflation provide powerful offsets to entry-level labor displacement.

Feels true

campervans··on Ask HN: Cursor is productive for an hour, then burns my application down
Man, that sounds like a great feature!! Will check it out
campervans··on Ask HN: Cursor is productive for an hour, then burns my application down
Damn...

So you're saying I need some adderral.ai

campervans··on Ask HN: Cursor is productive for an hour, then burns my application down
Yeh, a free GitHub and breaking the code into small functions would 10x your flow here
campervans··on Ask HN: Cursor is productive for an hour, then burns my application down
I use .md files to keep Cursor on track, the flow I use is something like...

Define a feature in detail (using trascription) -> Get o3 or Gemini 2.5 pro to break it down into very small testable tasks. -> review this -> then paste into a tasks.md file -> write and architecture.md file or similar for any additional context needed. -> then prompt Cursor to work through tasks.md step by step.

This keeps it on track, with the whole feature defined from the outset.

But eventually... it will try to ignore the dockerfile and setup up locally, create multiple .env files, write code with placeholders, ignore a files it's just created and written...

It's impossible to get it back on track - it gets into a debug loop of making things worse rather than getting back on track.

Yeh, I've found this helpful too, mentally if feels like a commit or PR, all the code for one thing in one chat then a new chat for new things

I've tested it for: 1. portfolio analysis 1. scrape portfolio 2. analyse it with ffn 2. make a meal plan, add all items to shopping basket from local supermarket within budget

One of the most revolutionary AI releases, what's are you using "computer use" for?
campervans··on I've built my first successful side project, and I hate it
Great work!

It reads like a pitch to work in B2B, higher professionalism, less needy customers, higher margins, fewer sales etc...

campervans··on Mourning and moving on: rituals for leaving a career (2014)
Wonder how it went for her. Probably the best decision of her life
campervans··on Any simple tool to sell API?
I'm looking at the simplest way to monetise various API's I have. Without building from scratch things that are common across paid API's. Like whitelisting IP's, rate limiting, usage monitoring, different ways of charging/pricing models and enforcement.

For example I have a Factsheet API for Mutual Funds and ETF's, we have the most extensive repo of available factsheets. I'm unsure if Financial Institutions will switch, so simply want a framework, where by I can easily try and monetise it.

Any ideas :)

campervans··on What's the most popular LLM prompt?
Maybe in the general sense there’s a use that a large percentage of people have.

An area of knowledge retrieval or proof reading etc.

Would be interesting if there are any over powering use cases.

campervans··on Raising a Seed – What Stack?
I'll start...

Prospecting - Personal network - LinkedIn - Dealroom (bookface post YC )

Deck sharing (1 x short deck, 1 x long deck) - Docsend

Emails - SuperHuman (with email tracking) - Lemlist

Tracking - Google Sheets

Due Diligence Docs - Google Drvie

campervans··on Is My SaaS Secure?
All's well that ends well :)
campervans··on Is My SaaS Secure?
man that's a hit!

Lesson learnt, adding fail2ban

campervans··on Can you LLM a custom language?
Makes sense, thanks for this
campervans··on My SaaS Journey from $1000/Mo Heroku to Home Server
This is a great option too.

I went for Hetzner in the end + Coolify

campervans··on My SaaS Journey from $1000/Mo Heroku to Home Server
Yeh, definitely worth looking into, and comparing to a business connection
campervans··on My SaaS Journey from $1000/Mo Heroku to Home Server
Thanks, I think over provisioning should reduce the chance of part failure.

Was also considering underclocking the CPU, but not sure if it would be helpful.

campervans··on My SaaS Journey from $1000/Mo Heroku to Home Server
Ace, thanks for this!

This is a great setup, and still sub 6 month payback. For comparison I have 2.5GB or less on my Heroku servers!

IP address management is definitely food for thought.

I might to a dry run with a PC and test, before investing in the full setup

campervans··on My SaaS Journey from $1000/Mo Heroku to Home Server
Ace, thanks, this is super useful
campervans··on My SaaS Journey from $1000/Mo Heroku to Home Server
I have 2x Web Dynos (Standard) and 2x Web Dynos (Performance). 2 x 2x standard Worker Dynos. Then 2 x DO 16GB 4 core CPU's.

Then have about $100 in excess cost on addons on Heroku (vs configing them directly)

campervans··on My SaaS Journey from $1000/Mo Heroku to Home Server
NUC's look interesting, thanks for this!

Yeh, bandwidth should be more than sufficient.

Agreed, looking at bleeding edge SDD's, seems a simple way to have a blazing fast DB. Even a 12 month payback works. We're feature complete so I could keep the setup without upgrades for some time

campervans··on In 100yrs what will the most shocking thing about today be?
How about (in order of most shocking):

- More people died in car crashes than wars

- That the healthcare system was built to cure already ill people, rather than prevent people from getting ill.

- That genetic diseases went untreated

campervans··on In 100yrs what will the most shocking thing about today be?
Good one. It does seem inevitable we’ll always mean revert to scientific truth
campervans··on In 100yrs what will the most shocking thing about today be?
New world order incoming…
campervans··on In 100yrs what will the most shocking thing about today be?
Agreed, but will the be seen as ‘shocking’? It seems this human trajectory is expected
campervans··on The Largest Company in Europe
The largest publicly listed company in Europe, does pretty much one thing.

Effective weight loss.
