carimura··on The Egg Bandits Made a Thousand Times the Fine They Just Paid for Price Fixing
ya that is likely correct in most cases, but I bet one could sell their surplus at a discount from store and break even.

So that means "invest" the time and resources to take just a small piece of the food supply chain into your own hands.

Please invest in some happy backyard chickens if you are able. We did, and it's amazing.

carimura··on Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?
this thread is crazy.. hackers are clearly hacking, myself included. A lot of what I've built I've already seen here:

1. home automation, access point management, solar/battery health monitors

2. family week management with schedules, todo's, scripture of the week

3. page-to-pod (browse, click one button, TTS to podcast episode on my phone)

4. daily summary of AI news to a new pod episode on my phone

5. easy theme switching from light to dark on my mac

6. and more....

what does this mean about the future of software? looks like consumer software will be "instant and on demand".

Aren't LLMs smart enough to choose better color contrast by now?
carimura··on Ask HN: Is the Job Market Actually Bad?
What sector/size are your offers? The "who is hiring" is shifting. Many large corps are now feeling a couple of squeezes from more expensive capital, to finding their footing in a quickly changing world, to over-hiring, to market pressures to "AI-ify" themselves (doubles as excuse to layoff caused by former three squeezes).

Mid-market saas seems to be getting crushed at the moment for different reasons.

Startups and the AI shops can't hire fast enough, but also seem to be looking at different candidate profiles.

carimura··on Claude Design
Music isn't really new either it's just recombining riffs already created. But the recombinations create new experiences. Might be the same with design?
carimura··on Ask HN: Who is using OpenClaw?
I asked both sonnet 4.6 and gpt-5.3 to summarize the use cases in this room, looks pretty different. Chatgpt tries a lot harder to categorize whereas Claude is more straightforward about just listing out use case examples.

carimura··on Ask HN: Who is using OpenClaw?
i've been engineering things for almost 30 years and getting it wired up to Discord was worse than a root canal. Slack seemed just a tad better but it still doesn't even work.

I feel like most of this can be done with the platform tools at this point or a tiny bit of wiring of your own without the mega-bloat to make something generalized for the whole world.

carimura··on An Update on Heroku
Time flies. I do think the vision lasted pretty long post acquisition, maybe 5 years or so, but then the inevitable seemed... inevitable.
carimura··on A few random notes from Claude coding quite a bit last few weeks
Ya I agree it's totally crazy.... but, do most app deployments need even half that stuff? I feel like most apps at most companies can just build an app and deploy it using some modern paas-like thing.

carimura··on Lessons from 14 years at Google
I've found that clarity is likely the most important aspect of success in general. Clarity in communication, for example, makes people feel invovled, heard, aligned. Cleverness is lots of acronyms and fancy phrases like vis-a-vis instead of just writing out what you mean so everyone can easily understand.
carimura··on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban
Personally I'll take "kook" (or worse) as a trade off for safety and sanity of my children any day of the week.
carimura··on LinkedIn is loud, and corporate is hell
ya i included insta. that's their bridge to.... 30s and 40s?
carimura··on LinkedIn is loud, and corporate is hell
i've always felt the social world order is as follows:

Facebook/Insta: I'm cool!

Twitter/X: I'm smart!

LinkedIn: I'm successful!

Tik Tok: (I have no idea)

As long as you know this, it all makes more sense.

carimura··on Judge denies request to exempt Flock footage from Public Records Act
These camera's are on all 3 egress routes from our home. I asked our local sheriff's department if they could use these to enforce state-wide curfews and after hemming and hawing they admitted "if it was a crime than in theory, yes".
carimura··on Deepnote, a Jupyter alternative, is going open source
Been thinking about this lately because I find my writing style is a little bit like annoying slightly sycophantic overly-hyphenated-with-an-emdash-here-and-there LLMs. Since LLMs are trained on the Internet, wouldn't some portion of posts that fall in the middle of the "voice bell curve" always sound like LLMs and thus be open to this critique even when they are 100% human written?
carimura··on It's insulting to read AI-generated blog posts
I feel like sometimes I write like an LLM, complete with [bad] self-deprecating humor, overly-explained points because I like first principals, random soliloquies, etc. Makes me worry that I'll try and change my style.

That said, when I do try to get LLMs to write something, I can't stand it, and feel like the OP here.

carimura··on What makes 5% of AI agents work in production?
the future is now where debates about human vs machine will influence our trust and enjoyment! I read the article wondering how much of it was AI generated (new worry!), but also how biased it was based on the authors startup business interest (old worry!), and concluded that if I learned something about the panel it was worth the 5 minutes. Or maybe 2 minutes if an AI summarized it.

that's pretty good. I was using a cartoon girl as an example of a dance move for kids.

ok well technically my original network dream was rows and rows of 14.4k baud modems, so we've come a ways since then.
