noashavit··on The Last 24 Hours Are the Opening Scene in a Horror Movie
Science fiction has predicated reality before. Smartphones, video chats and smart homes are all examples
noashavit··on My Agent Setup
This is a great post, thanks for sharing!
noashavit··on Personas agents built from engagement data, scored on predictions
A framework to build self-improving persona-based agents. Comes with 3 skills, agent template, and built-in feedback loop.
noashavit··on How to get agents into prod at an enterprise
Governance, context and cost management are fundamental. Without these, most ENT agentic deployments are blocked
noashavit··on Senior SWE-Bench: open-source benchmark that assesses agents as senior engineers
Interesting how close sonnet 5 comes to opus 4.8
noashavit··on Show HN: CLI tool for detecting non-exact code duplication with embedding models
looks super useful- thanks for sharing!
noashavit··on Meta caps internal AI token spending
Uber, Microsoft and now Meta. All tokenmaxing to the max on Claude
noashavit··on I'm Tired of Talking to AI
The more AI is used the more we crave the human connection
noashavit··on Outsourcing plus local AI will soon become more economical vs. frontier labs
Local models on consumer electronics are surpassingly good for certain tasks, like summarization and AI overviews
noashavit··on AI subscriptions are a ticking time bomb for enterprise
It's quite obvious that things are highly subsidized now. What will happen when subscriptions 10x in a year? That's that danger for the enterprise. I don't think the average enterprise will allow users to run local LLMs tbh. Just my POV feel free to tell me that I'm wrong!
noashavit··on AI is a technology not a product
I don't think we're at an aging horse moment, but a hurt one. One that can run fast sometimes but limps to the finish other times
noashavit··on Tell HN: Dont use Claude Design, lost access to my projects after unsubscribing
I hear you lose access to Claude Design the minute you cancel you subscription.
noashavit··on Palantir to be granted "unlimited access" to UK NHS patient data
Wouldn’t GDPR require they opt-in rather than out?
noashavit··on Claude Platform on AWS
Interesting move in to fully managed service by Anthropic.
noashavit··on Screenshots of Old Desktop OSes
Anyone here remember dos? The og CLI bases OS
noashavit··on A.I. note takers are making lawyers nervous
If I was a lawyer I would worry about auto note takers too. So easy to view something out of context as something totally different from what actually happened. Just my 2 cents
noashavit··on Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career
Tbh I don’t know if any careers are lifetime these days. Maybe plumbers have job security. GPUs need cooling…
noashavit··on Ask HN: Will low quality AI customer support be the new normal?
I don’t think low quality agentic support is the future. But agentic support with escalation routes to humans makes sense to me.

Support agents are a brand’s first line. It hope they invest is good agentic support to protect their brand. Time will tell I guess.

noashavit··on Ask HN: Best static site generator for a docs site in 2026?
Gitbook gets the job done
noashavit··on Ask HN: How do you choose a model for a task?
Gemini for recent search and google workspace automation

Perplexity for deep research

Claude Opus for coding, Sonnet for writing

Gemma4 for local AI overviews and analysis

Qwen coder for local prototyping

noashavit··on Lakebase architecture delivers faster Postgres writes
Lakebase is based on then Neon, that is why it was acquired. These are the performance gains from that underlying tech
noashavit··on Running local models on an M4 with 24GB memory
Gemma4 is a huge improvement and it's fast. Qwen 3.5 really slows down my machine though. LMK if there is a better model to use for the code assist aspect- performance wise
noashavit··on Local AI needs to be the norm
Relying on external APIs network failure points and unavoidable latency from the round trips. There is also the AI API rate limits that come into play. We might find that for critical workflows, local compute is the only reliable architecture.
noashavit··on Gemini API File Search is now multimodal
The race for unstructured data continues. It feels like everyone is trying to crack unstructured data extraction with the underlying goal of ultimately using AI to classify and tag insights from unstructured data to create a structured data/graphs for agents to consume and traverse.
noashavit··on Claude Code auto daily /weekly recap notes
What you built, summarized for you.
noashavit··on Show HN: Fixing AI memory blind spot on connected facts with benchmark
This looks helpful. Context is the main issue agents face. How does this fix issues with messy data though? Like in the real world when you have 2 reports for the same metric with different results. Will the agent have enough context to provide the same, accurate, result consistently?
noashavit··on Show HN: Modafinil - Let agents continue running while MacBook lid is closed
People in SF need this. Too many cracked open Macs running agents have been spotted outside public bathrooms haha ;-)
noashavit··on Show HN: Query months of HN discussions and comments as a knowledge graph
Looks interesting! Your demo vid in the README didn’t load for me btw.
noashavit··on There are only two paths left for software
I cannot agree with this more. This is a turning point for many. Opportunity is the name of the game if we just view it that way.

"somewhere in your org, there are ~five people who are going to deliver you 100x the amount of value you ever thought possible. Your first job is to figure out who these five people are (no matter how junior they are on paper!), explain the urgency of the situation with them, and give them the career opportunity of a lifetime to rebuild the company with you."

noashavit··on Ask HN: Does human approval exist in your agent stack? why/why not?
I would do 1 and 3 in tandem until you have confidence in the agent’s output across different use cases (personas, channels).

Start on a small limited scope. It should be a something you can do in your sleep with data you know and understand. Define a narrow scope and thorough guidance for the agent. Then have it create a plan, draft the outreach, and present to you for approval before executing. You can have it send you an email or slack you with everything.

Take the extra time until you have trust in the output, because real world messiness breaks most agents. Even those that worked well as prototypes.
