I know everyone here is telling you not to hyper optimize, but I've found drafting a prompt for an AI agent (Cursor/Devin/Codex/etc) and letting it run and then using the remaining time to do a quick body weight set (pushups, squats)

New Hisense TVs have USB-C DisplayPort support. Pretty cool, but realistically I don't see how it's different from HDMI from a usefulness standpoint.

Edit: It is cool I can plug my phone or laptop into the TV with one cable, no adapters, and get some power as well. For some reason it didn't work with my Steam Deck which was strange.

I remember running around campus looking for WiFi hotspots with my N810, using Google Voice to text my friends ($0.10 per text, no thank you!). Learned so much Linux admin skills that became so useful later in life. Favorite device ever! Eventually moved to Android smartphones but the ease of hacking, the amazing community (internettablettalk.com, looks like its gone now :( unfortunately...)

Is this primarily for building chat based agents? What if I want to trigger a workflow via API or webhook and the wait for some sort of human in the loop verification? Do you have an example for something like that?

The visual UI + code is really cool, addresses the weaknesses of both approaches.

I played all of KOTOR2 on Xbox using a capture card without sound. Good times.

If you have an iPad with a USB-C port, you can use the free Orion app to do this too

I've been using using [BAML](https://github.com/boundaryml/baml) to do this, and it works really well. Lets you have multiple different fallback and retry policies, and returns strongly typed outputs from LLMs.

Don't do that! This was a great post with a lot to learn from.

The fact you came to a very similar solution from first principles is very interesting (assuming you didn't know about this before!)

CTO here, using BAML in our stack has let us use LLMs a LOT more in places that wouldn't make sense without the type-safety. We started using it for line item tag prediction and classification, false-positive checking on our fuzzy match algo, and forecasting. Especially with models like 4o-mini and Gemini Flash, its now actually cost effective to do this at scale.

What incentive would HN or YC have to do this?

Especially since they are putting out content that argues that you don't even need a business co-founder: https://youtu.be/43RhhwpiSk0?si=NMt8jLFLB9dU0TQ0

In my experience, after tip Lyft/Uber are more expensive. The exception is during surges when Waymo's price shoots up like crazy.

We use GPT-4o for data extraction from documents, its really good. I published a small library that does a lot of the document conversion and output parsing: https://npmjs.com/package/llm-document-ocr

For straight OCR, it does work really well but at the end of the day its still not 100%

I think a portion of people would say yes, it's better to keep the status quo. Imo progress always wins because eventually someone somewhere will break the taboo. Technology even gets lost and rediscovered, which means even if you supress the knowledge someone will still eventually do it. So it's pretty pointless to fight, I'd rather try to benefit from it.

I left Google in 2020. It is not like this anymore. I heard its gotten even worse.

> Also there is the fact that America is extremely anti-immigration at the moment.

In what way? Compared to which countries? If OP is coming to the USA for school, I don't think this is a concern esp in the short term.

And they wanted to cancel the Bolt too...

Anecdote: I saw a Cybertruck driving on a highway in SF last week. Didn't get a great look but it was definitely real!

YC startup school might be something to look into: https://www.startupschool.org/

Just wanted to chime in and say we are a big fan of Fern! It makes developing our APIs 10x easier as we get full end-to-end type safety and code completion, but the really great part is we get idiomatic client and server SDKs as well as OpenAPI output that we use to autogen documentation. Our small team of two engineers are able to ship multiple client facing SDKs because we are built on Fern!

Looks like they will offer some sort of customized Android Automotive, which is awesome, but restrict casting from your phone?

Seems really short sighted, I feel most folks would use the built-in stuff but having the option to cast from a phone is a must have escape hatch.

Wireless CarPlay on our Bolt EV is one of the best features, sad to see that go.

S22 and W23 have been in-person, W22 was the last remote batch. In person has been a significantly better experience from what I can tell!

This HN comment says the same, it's not used anymore:

I've also spent a decade in Bay Area tech, and have never been asked or seen any of my coworkers feel this pressure, both at big tech (Google/Stripe) and at tiny startups.

Of course there are crunch times, but the majority of the time WLB was great. In fact, there are definitely a group of folks who seem to be permanently coasting.

There are bad companies and bad teams, but saying all of tech in the bay area operates this way is just wrong.

Archer micro is a huge part of the competitive AoE2 scene. AoE4 had auto tracking arrows and I think folks didn't like it as much as it lowered the skill ceiling

I've never had an issue with text size, and there is a shortcut to bring up a magnifier. Then again I haven't played any text heavy RPGs on the deck.

Noise isn't an issue with PS3/360 era games and older (make sure you cap the frame rate). Newer games definitely push the system and the fans, but it's equal to a thin gaming PC. I think mine is the newer revision with the better fan, the first run had a louder fan iirc.

Co-founder here. We originally made the landing page in Webflow. This worked ok but had some negative SEO benefits because our main app was forced to be on a subdomain.

We remade the page using a Tailwind template, which coincided with migrating our app to Tailwind. I highly recommend just using a template unless you are a designer, plenty of free or low cost ones out there. I like these: https://cruip.com/

Most important thing is having a good CTA, value props, and testimonials. Took us a lot of work to refine these.

We also worked with a graphic designer to make the art assets / logo / etc. I'm sure she would be happy to have more clients, DM me (see bio) for info.

RSUs typically expire if the company doesn't go public in X years

The Steam Deck is basically this. IMO it runs games in Linux better than Windows (especially with gamescope and the instant sleep and resume feature) and has played every game I have thrown at it. I assume at the pace Valve is updating SteamOS and Proton it will play everything but the super long tail of games soon.
