robotswantdata··on Show HN: Sheet Ninja – Google Sheets as a CRUD Back End for Vibe Coders
setup a DB project , use same cloud sql instance for all DBs. Did that for years on non prod or experimental projects. $100 is a bargain for what you get in terms of resiliency
robotswantdata··on Show HN: Sheet Ninja – Google Sheets as a CRUD Back End for Vibe Coders
Cloud sql lowest tier is pennies a day, this ninja platform is also not free.

A spreadsheet is a misclick away from corruption, why not spend another prompt on getting Claude to configure a db?

robotswantdata··on Show HN: Sheet Ninja – Google Sheets as a CRUD Back End for Vibe Coders
Don’t really get the purpose for this apart from throw away projects.

For vibe coders is it really “hours” setting up a database these days? GCP cloud sql + drizzle ORM is minutes and actually scales unlike a spreadsheet, heck Claude can even write you a deployment script and run it over GCP CLI.

robotswantdata··on I Built an AI Receptionist for a Luxury Mechanic Shop – Part 1
Sounds like the typical dealer experience minus the ai
robotswantdata··on I built an AI receptionist for a mechanic shop
Ignore the expected negativity, many here have not used the latest gen of voice agents in development. Even if used as a router , prefer that to waiting to get through
robotswantdata··on White-collar AI apocalypse narrative is just another bullshit
The voice agents in development right now feel 100x the current chatbots deployed by companies.

I had same opinion till a few months ago, now would prefer the [redacted company so as to not give free marketing] AI agent. You’ll start seeing this wave in around 3-6 months as most are in trial

robotswantdata··on White-collar AI apocalypse narrative is just another bullshit
The current deployments of chatbots are not the bar to compare with. There’s an incoming wave of extremely capable agents and process reimagining that is going to be highly disruptive.

Been in this space over a decade and this time really is different. It’s hard for humans to perceive the exponential, it will be slow then sudden.

robotswantdata··on OpenClaw Is a Security Nightmare Dressed Up as a Daydream
Wasn’t the point of openclaw to YOLO your credentials to the internet?

Only ever a creative prompt injection away from a leak.

Saw some smarter people using credential proxies but no one acknowledges the very real risk that their “claws” commit cyber crime on their behalf once breached.

Are we sure Claude Scale™ won’t appear next month? A specialist agent that turns your vibe coded mess into a production grade scaled solution on their infrastructure.

Expect anthropic to want to capture more of the supply chain over time

robotswantdata··on Nvidia greenboost: transparently extend GPU VRAM using system RAM/NVMe
Talking about dual socket SP5 EPYC with 24 DIMM slots, 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes

It’s fast for hybrid inference, if you get the KV and MoE layers tuned between the Blackwell card(s) and offloading.

We have a prototype unit and it’s very fast with large MoEs

robotswantdata··on Nvidia greenboost: transparently extend GPU VRAM using system RAM/NVMe
12 channel ddr5 5600 ECC is around 500gbs which in real world works very well for large MoE

robotswantdata··on AirPods Max 2
any ANC soundcore (anker) headphones or TEMU if you fancy rolling the dice. A colleague got a clone of the Sony 1000xm4, they sounded and look very similar.

For all day online calls, Jabra evolve2 65 are hard to beat for the price.

robotswantdata··on My Journey to a reliable and enjoyable locally hosted voice assistant (2025)
What about your wifi APs sensing which room you are in, with your choice of hilarious dance moves as the trigger ?

Funky chicken for Gemini

Penguin dance for OpenAI

Claude?

Same. LinkedIn is now unusable for me. Will try blocking!
robotswantdata··on I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job
Meetups for special interests / tech adjacent fields. Go to more company events for the tech you use.

The other factor is finding “high elo” people with influence that can help you if you live in a “low elo” area. You’ll have to go to the “high elo” areas more often to increase chance of a better match.

unfollow works too
robotswantdata··on The dead Internet is not a theory anymore
How would the small internet fight the bots?

Aggressive moderation? Disable UGC?

robotswantdata··on Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans.
Welcome change, there is enough AI slop on the internet already.

I come here for thoughtful discussion, a break from the relentless growing proportion of ai slop emails I get from people clearly vibe working.

Not edits for tone or clarity, 400+ word emails full of LLM BS they clearly haven’t checked or even understood what they have sent. Annoyingly this vibe slop is currently seen as a good KPI.

robotswantdata··on Revealed: UK's multibillion AI drive is built on 'phantom investments'
Even if you get paid well, the tax cliff at 100k-170k where it makes sense not to work and reject promotions to be eligible for childcare is outrageously stupid.

UK is finished

robotswantdata··on My spicy take on vibe coding for PMs
We get that, it’s the take that a PM is just as exposed to AI as a SWE.

Agents can already do a PM role and tasks and will get better, stakeholders and devs might even prefer it.

robotswantdata··on Nvidia PersonaPlex 7B on Apple Silicon: Full-Duplex Speech-to-Speech in Swift
+ 1 , agree still prefer composable pipeline architecture for voice agents. The flexibility on switching LLM for cost optimisation or quality is great for scaled use cases.
robotswantdata··on My spicy take on vibe coding for PMs
If that were true, why would they need a PM ether?

Agents would research and identify requirements on their own, observe customer interactions and monitor for trends. Taste.md downloaded via LoveFrom

robotswantdata··on AWS won't discuss my bill, suspended my account, took $1,600, still no human
Something seems off here, OP has an extra $1500 a month for over a year and then finally noticed. They then instead of pausing or migrating “expensive” services, stop paying and then AWS terminate as expected.

Feel there is more to this story than AWS being mean.

You can try emailing garman@amazon.com and complain about the poor AWS customer service with Jeff cc’d.
