tylergetsay··on Anthropic Cracking Down on Video Game Rewrites
Palworld is an actually good game
tylergetsay··on DoorDash to acquire Instacart
It's a prisoners dilemma. The total market share remains the same, but if only one grocery store was on DD they'd be at an advantage over those who don't
tylergetsay··on DoorDash to acquire Instacart
When shopping from kroger you can pay extra to get 2-3hr delivery from insta cart. If not your order gets routed through a more efficient planned route that hits multiple houses
tylergetsay··on I went to Mexico to test-drive the cars Americans can’t buy
I believe the CEO of Ford something along those lines
tylergetsay··on SS United States to be sunk as largest artificial reef
Incase anyone was unaware part of the consideration for where to sink it is access for divers -- the top will be around 55ft deep which will make it accessible for recreational divers
tylergetsay··on Show HN: Steal My Bitcoin
The block chain can't though once the coins are transferred
tylergetsay··on Disney Raising Prices Days After Confirming Ads Will Now Show Up on Every Tier
Why doesnt disney just play their own ads? I think its because most of the companies paying to advertise never recover their money, and their sales attribution is so bad they can't even tell they are wasting money.
tylergetsay··on Claude Duet
I do this too and have a wrapper around tool calls which masks the password on tool call output, and unmasks on input. So the LLM just sees a temp credential

I've been having trouble exploiting it from first principles even in lab conditions.
tylergetsay··on The Other Epidemic: Trying to get off benzodiazepines

tylergetsay··on eBay Restricts Listings of Radio Equipment, but Exempts Ham-Band-Only Gear
The UV-5R is still available on eBay, as is the UV-K5 (which has an illegal scrambler feature). As is 50W (and 350W) FM transmitters for "churches"
tylergetsay··on Show HN: Carrier-Explode: iPhone, Pixel and Galaxy carrier settings decoded
Reminds me of the CDMA days when the qualcom software got leaked
tylergetsay··on Show HN: Drop – A rootless Linux sandbox with gVisor support
Does it work within containers?
tylergetsay··on Where has Construction Automation been successful?
Theres less efficiency here than would be thought. Building codes, technologies, materials, styles, needs etc vary a lot by location.
tylergetsay··on What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks
I believe most prepaid visa gift cards are being monetized in this way. https://www.walmartgift.com/AcctMgmt/Controls/WalMartGiftCar...

Ive heard of casinos trying to pay out winnings using some kind of prepaid card, where theyd also get info about how people spent their casino winnings. Lots of ways to leverage that data.

tylergetsay··on Show HN: Copperhead – Cursor for circuit boards
if I needed something on the board that was outside the component library of the assembly house, can I ship it to them? or have them arrange for it somehow? How constrained is the component library?
tylergetsay··on Shopify acquires Tailwind
How well is Laravel doing nowadays?
tylergetsay··on Show HN: Copperhead – Cursor for circuit boards

Presumably they have _some_ assets in the USA
tylergetsay··on IPFS Maintainers Winding Down
Has anyone looked at ar.io and have any opinions on it? They claim you are paying for 200 years upfront with a kind of endowment like setup.
tylergetsay··on Building Food Metadata with LLM Juries
If I search "healthy" in DoorDash, Taco Bell comes up in the top results
tylergetsay··on Behind the scenes with the Midjourney scanner [video]
The probes they're using are off the shelf probes used everywhere including on small animals, I don't see how you could compare that to a lithotripsy
tylergetsay··on Making Claude a Chemist
Hamilton Morris and his stuff on clandestine chemistry is super interesting in this domain. Sometimes the chemistry is straight forward but access to certain chemicals is hard, so the procedure must change based on what's available not necessarily what's ideal
tylergetsay··on xAI is looking more like a datacentre REIT than a frontier lab
I'd be really interested in seeing your numbers, I've thought about this.

I do feel like there are some use cases which are cost constrained right now, but that area is getting smaller as local models get better.

tylergetsay··on Ask HN: Why hasn't there been a real competitor to Ticketmaster yet?
Everyone involved benefits from Ticketmaster, and in exchange all Ticketmaster has to do is be the bad guy
tylergetsay··on Spotify will start reserving concert tickets for fans
The music industry works the way it does because a large amount of people involved are effectively working for free. Promoters, photographers, DJs, interns, writers, assistants, even some artists early on accept low or unpaid work because the industry offers networking, access, drugs, etc
tylergetsay··on GitHub's Fake Star Economy
I've seen the same devs refuse to use a library because the last commit was 3 months ago, despite the library being extremely popular, battle tested, and existing for 10 years.
tylergetsay··on Migrating from DigitalOcean to Hetzner
I'm currently paying $800ish a month for digital ocean servers that I know would fit on a single hetzner machine :/
tylergetsay··on We replaced RAG with a virtual filesystem for our AI documentation assistant
