Google also has the most to lose.
deadeye··on Show HN: Stop Claude Code from forgetting everything
Is this for people who haven't read the docs on how to instruct the agent on common setups and preferences?
deadeye··on A New K in America
They're using odd language to justify their position. "Wage growth"?

Do they mean "real wage growth"? Because that got worse under Biden.

deadeye··on A supersonic engine core makes the perfect power turbine
Me too. I can't wait for the day me and my entire family get our super powers and can just fly everywhere.

You are the consumer, not the developer. As such, you have extreme survivorship bias.

Unless you're a developer/builder you have no concept of the projects KILLED by bureaucracy.

All you see is what was allowed to be built.

deadeye··on A supersonic engine core makes the perfect power turbine
100%

Personal experience: In my town a public parking lot could not be built due to it possibly being "endangered moth" habitat.

There are places where you can still build things in the US, but they are more and more scarce.

deadeye··on Why are 38 percent of Stanford students saying they're disabled?
Reading the comments here people seem to care more about what is "good" for the individual than what is good for the institution.

If you have learning disability that requires "assistance" at an elite university, then why can't I play in the NBA with stilts while being allowed to double dribble and travel?

Sure would be awesome for me to play in the NBA! Probably wouldn't be good for the NBA though.

deadeye··on Homeschooling hits record numbers
Educated or babysat?
deadeye··on Homeschooling hits record numbers
>That's on the kid, not contingent on whether school is public.

Yes and no. The interest of the kid to learn is on the kid/family, for sure.

However, the fact that a kid who has no interest in learning is forced to go to public school is a function of how public schools operate.

Again, free and required is a bad model. They should either be free and selective or, less ideally, available and costly.

deadeye··on Homeschooling hits record numbers
The problem with public schools is that they are free and required (essentually). That is a bad combination.

There is really nothing intrinsically good about the average public school. Many are filled with kids that aren't there to learn. From the attitudes seen in this forum, that seems to be OK, because school is paradoxically about "socializing", while most here report being bullied.

As noticed here many home schoolers have religious reasons for their choice. The reason is simple, "Don't send your children to Ceasar and then be upset when they come home as Romans".

deadeye··on Peter Thiel sells off all Nvidia stock, stirring bubble fears
I think it might be a reflection that there is no more power to run more chips, so chip sales will drop.
deadeye··on Time to start de-Appling
Why not start fixing your country instead of retreating constantly?
deadeye··on Claude Skills are awesome, maybe a bigger deal than MCP
So what is the real problem in your view?
deadeye··on Claude Skills are awesome, maybe a bigger deal than MCP
I'm not sure what you mean.

What is the "real problem"?

In the pursuit of making application development more productive, they ARE solving real problems with mcp servers, skills, custom prompts, etc...

The problems are context dilution, tool usage, and awareness outside of the llm model.

deadeye··on Returning to Church won't save us from nihilism
This reads more like misdirection than analysis. Suggesting religion is just a collection of empty rituals is just sad.

It's almost as if he's trying to prevent those looking for help from considering religion.

"You don't want those gold bars over there, they're just painted rocks". But are they?

deadeye··on Half of consumers say Tesla's FSD tech should be illegal
Yeah, I dont know about this. I have HW4 on a new model Y and FSD is excellent.

I can understand older versions may not work as well or have lived up to promises, but my experience has been nothing short of amazing.

deadeye··on US attack on renewables will lead to power crunch that spikes electricity prices
Where can I find a list of these towns?
deadeye··on Builder.ai Collapses: $1.5B 'AI' Startup Exposed as 'Indians'?
To an extent. Just not to the extent that dishonesty is rewarded in socialism and communism.

At least Capitalism in a free society is largely self correcting.

deadeye··on Ask HN: Anyone struggling to get value out of coding LLMs?
Yes! This is exaclty my experience: https://youtube.com/shorts/1_rSrkXovOk?si=AOBFN3l9_2VlzpDx

deadeye··on The Case for American Reindustrialization
I think you and the author have a different idea of what a "service" job is.
deadeye··on Retailers will soon have only about 7 weeks of full inventories left
We are at an inflection point in manufacturing. The next industrial revolution will combine AI and robots.

Manufacturing jobs of the future will be fewer and higher in the value chain, requiring technical abilities. Workers won't be mindless stamping parts over and over.

Now, the question is, do you want our adversaries to develop and own this new era or do you want the US to lead this next generation of industrialization?

Finally, if you don't think China is our adversary, then we're not living in the same reality.

deadeye··on Why Trump Will Lose His Trade War
Paul Krugman is famously wrong about everything.

Edit: Sorry wrong is misleading, he isn't just wrong, he's usually the opposite of right.

deadeye··on US government struggles to rehire nuclear safety staff it laid off days ago
"US media reported"

That's not a source. This is how the media just makes things up.

After admitting that 8% of the BBC media action budget came from US taxpayers which has now been cencelled, I wonder if they might have an ax to grid.

deadeye··on IT Unemployment Rises to 5.7% as AI Hits Tech Jobs
Last go around my client used Brazil. Worked for a while until there was a major system outage and it turned out they didn't have the skill set to actually solve any problems.
deadeye··on IT Unemployment Rises to 5.7% as AI Hits Tech Jobs
It's a cycle.

The US is expensive, so offshore. Offshore projects are more expensive because they never work, so come back to the US.

I've lived it twice now. We’re in the middle of my third cycle.

deadeye··on Mysterious New Jersey drone sightings prompt call for 'state of emergency'
Perhaps most importantly, why would drones with a nefarious purpose have navigation lights?

They could run completely blacked out and it would make no difference to the operator.

deadeye··on Americans see their savings vanish in Synapse fintech crisis
Where did the money go?

- Was it all deposited in a real bank

- Was it siphoned by the app to pay their expenses

- We're there Office Space like shenanigans going on

Seems like either something illegal was happening, or the money is somewhere and unaccountable.

deadeye··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
Yeah, I guess I was thinking of a more temporary working situation.

Serious question...

If it's true people are crossing our borders, claiming asylum, and being let go with work permits, why should anyone do wait to do it the legal way and wait or get denied?

What is the advantage to doing it the normal way?
