Didn’t someone make a k8s worker in JavaScript a few months back?

Why would they want that on their balance sheet?

Also they have the ability to put in sufficiently large amount purchase orders to buy up whatever capacity they want.

Even at ludicrous markup prices from TSMC, ifs going to be orders of magnitude cheaper than in house a fab.

reachableceo··on Ask HN: Why hasn't AI replaced Tax filing software
I’m working on this.

Building a free / libre / open modernized e file client stack to handle a wide range of the forms.

The IRS provides all the specs as XML.

Java / soap / xml. The stack that runs the world but so many people don’t want to touch legacy tech.

I am curious why so many of these systems are based on GitHub issues. Why not use a proper ticket system?

I use Redmine (lightly customized) and have found that to work very well. Especially for performing review / UAT of the work or providing response to the agents questions when it wants me to pick an option.

The underlying data model of a ticket / project management system is so rich and well suited to bodies of work.

Ghost can take markdown files.

Write the .md in VsCode and use the ghost extension ?

reachableceo··on Figma restricts MCP access to whitelisted clients, excluding Pi
Yes. This. So much this.

All of my self hosted SAAS (redmine , gitea, discourse , vaultwaden , GLPI etc etc ) (even the cloudron pass if all runs on) is exactly that.

It’s beautiful! Of course as a self hoster that’s quite different then SAAS vendors who need to earn a profit I guess.

reachableceo··on Dots: Always-on agents
I mean it’s not exactly tin foil hat. I suspect when we see the s1 drop for these companies , the business plan will be essentially exactly what you just said.

OpenWebUI has allowed me to avoid this. Combined with OpenTerminal.

I am using zcode with GLM5.3 flash from z.ai due to the extra usage / air drops etc . However nothing I’m doing is tied to that harness.

When I moved from crush to Zcode , the first thing I did was tell Zcode to migrate all of my crush customizations to Zcode and to set things up in a harness agnostic way going forward. It did.

So the harness specific setup is just symbolic links to the canonical .md file in various git repos. Also the heavy use of redmine / discourse / GLPI (via small go CLi wrappers that crush and Zcode made for me ) allows me to remain context / chat agnostic as well.

z.ai with zcode. it works around the clock for me off of my redmine queue
reachableceo··on CEO fired developers to make room for AI. Developers create open source AI CEO
It’s called using systems of record. I use redmine and discourse. Jointly with my stack of agents (COO) (managed by four very high trust humans via OWUI interacting with scoped Hermes profiles ).

I’m adopting this stack under me (CTO) and integrating it into agent zero

reachableceo··on Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
Provide an example please.

I keep hearing these “I work in some hard field and the LLM isn’t any good at it”. I keep asking for examples and no one can provide them.

reachableceo··on I am retiring from tech to live offline
Why not check out now? Why after this year ? You supposedly have the means to do so now , so why not exit now?

You won’t exit after this year. You’ll keep pushing it out.

reachableceo··on Nitpicking the shell history scene in 'Tron: Legacy'
I believe the parent comment was saying that the YT poster should have gotten some revenue share. Since the work they put in would in theory be enhancing the original work. Obviously these sort of things are created and consumed primarily by “super fans” who probably buy director cuts etc etc .

At least that’s how I read the comment and I agree.

reachableceo··on The bottleneck was never the code
Um… how do you get those requirements if slack / email give you anxiety ? And meetings are disruptive ?

I am genuinely curious. I understand where you are coming from, you want to maintain flow state.

How does one effectively load the funnel to support flow state ?

Jira tickets? Requirements documents in some kind of ALM tool?

This is fantastic ! Very well done!

I’ve been looking for something exactly like this.

It sits at the right “layer”.

Why do you have zero support from anyone / anywhere ? What caused you to be in that situation? What happened to family / friends ? How have you made money in the past ? Freelancing I presume ?

I’m just pointing out some things I’ve observed. You didn’t really address them, you skillfully redirected.

reachableceo··on Built a 1.3M-line agent-native OS in Rust while homeless. What now?
Also the only activity on your account is this submission / comments on it.

Not sure if this is some kind of guerrilla marketing / feel bad for me approach to stand out from the crowd or what.

A few comments…

1. You are supposedly some super intelligent autistic person… but you can’t even properly format the last lines of your post , so someone would have to struggle to copy / paste the link to your websites . That’s going to be a barrier for most people in a competitive landscape for attention.

2. You have only been on hacker news for 40 days. Or at least this account. Interesting. I’m not sure when an account crosses the “new account” threshold and stops being green.

3. No contact information in your profile. If someone wanted to help you , they would want to reach out directly and privately , you don’t give them a way to do that. Again, you’re supposedly some super smart autistic but you failed at a very basic thing.

I say all the above as gently and respectfully as possible. I’m trying to reconcile your supposedly genius level of intelligence with some fairly basic major gaffes.

reachableceo··on Ask HN: How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?
Did you feed back the results of the tests / benchmark to the model?

I’m presuming you have a very robust test framework / benchmark setup etc?

I’m presuming you fed the model the baseline results of that setup as a starting point ?

Works wonderfully!

reachableceo··on Tell HN: AI coding is sexy, but accounting is the real low-hanging target
What you are talking about is called financial operations.

And yes , automating that , very valuable.

Really you want an AI interface to a rules engine / system.

Embed with some companies finops teams if you can. Especially the software engineers who are in finops.

reachableceo··on Umbrel – Personal Cloud
I run umbrel in a VM . For non fiat finops stuff.

I also run Cloudron on a VPS.

I wish both of those solutions had more mindshare. They save me so much time and effort. Especially Cloudron!

reachableceo··on Building the largest known Kubernetes cluster
VMs are a standardized system primitive. The “bare metal” bit with RBAC etc through the management layer / hypervisor.

K8s is pallets Vms are shipping containers

Systems / storage / network team can present a standardized set of primitives for any vm to consume that are more or less independent of the underlying bare metal.

Then the VMs can be live migrated when the inevitable hardware maintenance is needed (microcode patching , storage driver upgrades , etc etc etc). With no downtime for the vm itself
