sharemywin··on The AI graveyard: a running list of projects and startups that didn't make it
I think alot of companies I trying to figure out where the actual business value is.

Most business spend a lot of money on making processes reliable not probabilistic.

I think most business process probably need something like:

text/image -> classifier -> events -> workflow -> template

                         -> exception -> human
then text/image -> llm/agent loop -> creative text.

with programming the model used to be

non-coder -> vague AI slop spec -> programmer/questions -> QA -> Prod

now it's:

AI prototype -> execs -> wow -> non-coder -> vague spec -> AI slop Code -> QA/Verify -> missed requirments/lacks business context, etc. -> programmer spends just as much time fixing.

great so more water can get wasted for more expensive per transaction costs.

sharemywin··on Ponzi Schemes Still Work?
I had an idea for one once. you start a company and you take investor money and you keep getting new investors and then you make a bunch of robots and their the last leg on the pyramid Ponzi scheme. oh crap someone already beat me too it.
sharemywin··on AWS says it can't restore some data from mideast facilities struck by Iran
but aren't amazon contracts pretty one sided?
sharemywin··on AWS says it can't restore some data from mideast facilities struck by Iran
but the general assumption is your data isn't going to get lost if you use Amazon. so once the trust is gone it's gone.

I feel like this might be a bot account. you posted no submissions, no favorites and your comments have a pattern. they're short, negative and not much variation.
sharemywin··on How credit card rewards became a $9.2B wealth transfer
because code is only a small part of software development. don't forget ping pong tables. lol. I'm both making a valid point and making fun of it too.

sharemywin··on Meta, States Have Discussed Settling Teen Social Media Case
Gee, wonder if this will result in a slap on the wrist and lots of cash...
sharemywin··on Ford rehired engineers it replaced with AI – the real reason is worse
that's the trillion dollar questions though can you teach it the expertise or does learning the expertise take 5,10,20 years to learn and what happens if things change does it do better or worse. how much if it's how fast an expert learns and adapts?
sharemywin··on The rich aren't your role models
a large % of wealth is a made up number. if everyone runs to the door to sell an asset it becomes close to worthless pretty quickly.
sharemywin··on Kevin Warsh Wants the Fed to Stop Explaining Everything
because the economy thrives on surprises
sharemywin··on AI Makes Mistakes; Process Design Matters More
That suggests a better architecture for business processes:

AI interprets. Rules validate. Humans approve exceptions or high-risk actions. Deterministic systems execute and record.

right on the money. although I would say AI could possibly have a few rounds of deliberation before moving to the next step. Think ReAct style or something like that.

sharemywin··on Grokipedia selectively drawing on more right-leaning news sources, new study

sharemywin··on Ask HN: How do you self-host your apps?
you might look at this for feature ideas.

https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1lutdul/we_buil...

tldr; We built an open-source, MIT-licensed PaaS that:

Lets you scale beyond a single server.

Uses API keys for team access, not SSH keys.

Has a simple CLI and web UI without overwhelming configuration.

Includes built-in database management (disco postgres create).

Is funded by optional managed services, so that the code can remain free and open.

Dokku: Great, but locked us to single servers and required managing SSH access for teams.

Coolify: Powerful, but we found the sheer number of configuration options overwhelming.

Kamal: Brilliant for deployment, but we wanted integrated database management and other platform features built-in.

sharemywin··on Publishers Demand Accountability from Common Crawl over Unauthorized Use
maybe robot.txt should be upgraded with license specifics.

not for commercial use, etc.

so I believe all content is covered under fair use which to me means common crawl has a right to scrape everything and it's the user of common crawl to sort out the details.

sharemywin··on Is anybody else bored of talking about AI?
VCs now that AI will solve everything don't need too worry about climate change!!?!

Of course people will trip overthemselves to buy it up.

sharemywin··on A.I. Helped One Man (and His Brother) Build a $1.8B Company
at least the 3-card Monty guy is dealing with you one on one. These companies hire lobbyist to make the illegal, immoral sh*t legal. Easy to keep winning the game when you write the rules.
sharemywin··on A.I. Helped One Man (and His Brother) Build a $1.8B Company
but this is the opposite right? they own the customer relationship. Amazon does the opposite. They control the customer relationship. Can the supplier raise prices possibly but so can they middle man. if they turn over the relationship to the provider then use bad business.
